QuakeCon tonight...

Archaole · July 2014

I'm not going to be there but I'm still highly anticipating what info is going to be released about "the future of ESO". As long as I don't hear the words or phrases "soon", "at some point", "that's an idea we like but" or "somewhere on the horizon". These are not good for sub-based people to hear because we need to know where our money is going now.

But seriously though, I'm really hoping to hear about some cool stuff tonight. More info on the justice system, upcoming patch, and maybe some surprises that they've kept thus far. In recent interviews, one of Paul Sage's most commonly used terms is something like "tune in to QuakeCon, so this is his own personal opportunity to douse or add to the flames.

But where are yall's ideas what info will/should be shared tonight?

They will probably show off the dye system. Probably some talks about Dragonstar Arena which is the last Craglorn push, then probably hint at the next adventure zone or new PVP styles. They have said that the response to 4v4v4 PVP has been popular they just don't want it to take over Cyrodill. They will probably outline changes to the Vet system. They may give a hard date on the European Megaserver move.

And much as I doubt it, a very small chance at console news, but I doubt it.

Csub · July 2014

When can we expect it exactly? Around midnight GMT if I recall correctly?

I think we will get more info about 1.3, hopefully about Vet changes, probably something about Dragonstar Arena and hopefully something about Dark Brotherhood / Thieves' Guild.

We will definitely hear about the new campaigns in Cyrodiil and maybe some class balance infos but I doubt we will hear much if anything at all about this.

EDIT: Yay I am a 4-star user now so whatever I say is more true than ever before, obviously. :P

Not sure about GMT but I think its 5pm Pacific time let me check and I'll get back to you on that

The panel begins at 5:00PM CDT on Friday, July 18th. Game Director Matt Firor will introduce the panel and be present for the Q&A.

Archaole · July 2014

The "Future of ESO" panel is going to be from 5-7 PM cst.

Thanks a lot, it means I should start at 11pm GMT, so almost got it right! I'll be watching it!

A lot is riding on what they say tonight. ESO has been and continues to bleed subscriptions in a very big way. If they give "soon" and "that's an interesting idea" answers instead of concrete, detailed specifics about what they are actually going to do right now the game will continue to bleed out.

Hopefully the panel is full of cold, hard facts and not fluff.

"We need to be very careful about balancing issues" with regard to fixing stamina builds being horrible = ESO is done
"We may look into the Werewolf skills" = we will not do anything for this abysmal skill line, so players might as well just respec out of it now
"There are many skill and armor combinations possible in the game" as an answer to every intelligent player using light armor + staff = ESO designers are either incompetent or have their heads buried deep, deep, deep in the sand
"We may tweak .. ..... ..... ..." = we will do nothing on this issue

Let's hope for concrete statements instead of the usual fluff-filled nothing.

Hm... no one gets emails?

Here's the Quakecon email I got indicating SOME of the topics that will be discussed, I'm looking forward to Imperial City and end-game stuff

The Elder Scrolls Online team will give you a sneak peek at upcoming features like Spellcrafting, the Justice System, the Imperial City (and much more!) and answer your questions about the game

Sotha_Sil · July 2014

Imperial city ! Just take my money and make it happen !

Kalman · July 2014

This is what was in e-mail:

"A panel of developers from The Elder Scrolls Online team will give you a sneak peek at upcoming features like Spellcrafting, the Justice System, the Imperial City (and much more!) and answer your questions about the game."

I failed, it's 10pm GMT, as Archaole also wrote, I checked wrong time conversion.

A four-star poster doesn't make mistakes

Archaole · July 2014

OOh spellcrafting! And hopefully a timeline as to when it will be implemented. This, along with the justice system and Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood, will be all I have ever expected from an ES mmo. And I will ask for nothing more other than a lack of bugs.

Sindala · July 2014

They really do need to start dropping teasers and hints about the Dark Brotherhood & Thieves' Guild.
Quite a lot of us are hanging around in a desperate bid that these will make everything rosey again then add the cherry topping of Housing.

I would say I wrote it as a 3-star poster but that would be a lie! Damn, if only I just hadn't corrected it, I would have gotten away with it. Well yes, being a 4-star poster comes with great responsibility and I am new at it so I need to get used to it and... ok I failed :P

And yes, spellcrafting would be nice to see. As well as justice system.

No offense but your issues are so simple a novice coder like me could solve. It's just number balancing issues which will be solved with time it's not difficult. What I'm sure most people are concerned about are the new addition rather then tweaks.

Tweaks like you are suggesting aren't game changers. I'm looking forward to the addition like thieves guild, dark brother hood, more pvp options, spell crafting. I'm not so concerned with number tweaks though they are welcomed.

Specifics for once is what I really need to hear/see/read in order to make my entertainment decisions going into the fall, period. Not interested in any further broad-based generalizations, at all.

Someone better bring up the dog

Shergar · July 2014

Can't wait to hear what's planned also, I will be tuned in here in Scotland that's for sure.

AdamBourke · July 2014

I'm on a train. I won't be able to watch until about an hour into it - at which point I guess I'm better off waiting for it be up on the news page or IGN... :-(. Sad Face.

ers101284b14_ESO · July 2014

Did you guys watch last night? They where talking about Bethesda's MMO next year. And then they were going to talk about Doom 4 then they cut the stream

They are talking about it right now!

I'm not looking for tweaks. Some of these things are major problems in the game, requiring a lot more than simple tweaks, but even so as you say they are extremely easy to fix. Ask any Werewolf player what they think of the poor design of that skill line. ZOS hasn't done much of anything to correct these problems, leading to a rather large exodus from the game.

Tonight I'm hoping to hear about actual, concrete fixes for the existing game. PR statements about what might be added to the game at some unknown future date don't cut it any more.

I expect I'm not alone in this hope, as we all want a good game out of ESO. It is bleeding out and nobody (but the competition) wants that to continue.
