    And over two weeks later we still haven't had it.

    Seems Matt couldn't care a toss any more, or has he no idea where this game's going now ZOS 'vision' for VR has had to be jettisoned, ZOS have been unable to fix the many problems related to PVP and Champion content was tossed out in a Q&A on Reddit without any thought to try to placate the mass of unhappy players?

    Come on, we just had Quakecon last month and a Road Ahead article as well, no one complained it was too much.

    Yes, I am curious too but we already saw what we could expect in the next months. Of course, more details are nice but since we have over a month till next big patch, it's not that urgent.
    Did Quakecon sake exactly what things would be in which update? I watched it and I don't really recall.

    It would be nice to know.

    Too me, nothing clear, except City of Ash for update 5, is plan after update 4

    But lots of future adds are allmost known :
    (Note: Most of these don't have a release date.)

    Imperial City :

    - PVP & PVE objectives in city
    - Can capture districts for your alliance - this gives you rewards
    - PVE gives rewards + lots of gold
    - New armor: Imperial Daedric

    Dungeons :

    - City of Ash Veteran Dungeons (Update 5)
    - Dungeon Scaling - All dungeon mobs and loot will scale to your group leader's level
    - Undaunted Rewards - New daily quests and undaunted passives for running dungeons

    Veteran System Changes :

    - Veteran XP is going to be replaced by normal XP
    - Bonus XP for those who don't play as frequently
    - Champion System: XP gains give you champion points. Points spent on new passives (examples were things like "Increase shock damage" or "Increase stamina regen" or "Increase base damage from blades")
    - Champion points earned on all characters over level 50
    - More points spent on a path will unlock other passives
    - New armor and items with each update - each update will bring upgraded and rare items, but items from previous updates will be available more easily

    Justice System :

    - Taking items from crates, baskets, furniture (and other things in the world) will now be stealing the items
    - Stolen items will have value, but can only be sold through fences hidden around cities
    - Guards can catch you stealing and force you to pay a fine or flee. Paying a fine clears all stolen items you have on you, Fleeing will start combat with guards.
    - NPCs become targetable and killable
    - Other players will be able to be guards and attack those who have fines (Active PVP)
    - Doing bad things adds to your bounty. Eventually, your bounty gets too high and you become "kill on-sight"

    Spellcrafting :

    - New spells are classed into the typical Elder Scrolls schools(Alteration, Conjuration, Destruction, Illusion, Mysticism, Restoration)
    - Players use a new spell to reveal hidden doorways
    - Doorways contain stone tablets which provide part of a spell to craft
    - Players will use a mini-game (like lockpicking) to make a copy of the pieces until they have the complete tablet
    - Spellcrafting will let you create spells using different "focuses" (examples were spells made into ultimates, added cast times for more effects, allowing summoned creatures to be permanent pets, making something into an AOE, etc)
    - Tablets created with spellcrafting can be traded and sold

    New Zones :

    - Murkmire adventure zone
    - Wrothgar solo PVE zone

    Werewolf Changes :

    - Decrease cost of transformation, buff damage
    - Add more abilities

    Misc Changes :

    - Ability to customize character appearance
    - Improved facial animations
    - New motifs
    - Stamina changes - new passive to medium armor to reduce stam cost, new DPS buffs to stamina abilities
    - Respec only one morph

    Peraps the future "road ahead" will precise the implementation time of this new features.

    Didn't you uninstall the game ages ago? Why do you still linger?

    Last Road Ahead I can find in the forum in July 8, I see none related to Quakecon which was more PR fluff than specifics and plans.

    Is there one ZOS haven't posted in the usual place?

    Some people are like bad farts.

    I never once saw where they said that the Road Aheads where guaranteed at the beginning of each months or that it would be every month. Considering content pushes are every 6 weeks I would not expect it to be every month or at the beginning every time.

    They never guaranteed it, but it is a requirement. My never ending refrain is that ZOS needs to be more proactive about communication and take every opportunity, and then some, to communicate with the current subscribers.

    I don't think a lot of you are being patient right now.

    Relax. We know there is a Road Ahead article every month, and unless Matt says there won't be one for this month himself, I'm sure there always will be as it's become in many ways a progress report for everyone to see (not just forum posters).

    The more time it takes usually means the more detailed the actual article will be with pictures, videos, and information that goes more in-depth into what's the current plan for The Elder Scrolls Online in the next couple of months.

    Some people are like bad farts.

    ZeniMax should implement a system which prevents unsubscribed individuals from posting on the offical forums outside of a general 'need help downloading the game / game issues / sub issues' section.... If only to remove quite a few undesirable odours.

    Anyways, I'm waiting patiently for the road ahead outline, but I'm not overly fussed just yet. We were given a video and information on what's coming out next month and that's enough to tide me over for now.
