Thieve's and Assassin's guilds - might these be any time soon?

Now we have the Justice system, which I'm pretty sure is a necessary prerequisite for Thieves and Assassins guilds, the way lies open.

But has ZoS mentioned these anywhere, since the early AMAs? Are they still planned, or placed on the back burner, or even scrapped?

Did the Legerdemain World skill line end up replacing the proposed Thieves' Guild line?

Has anyone heard anything about this stuff?

    Nope not soon. Coming yes ... not soon.

    Did you notice the Legerdemain world skill line simply didn't just pop into the game itself? Entire game changing system mechanics were added along with it. Same will happen with Thieves and DB guilds. We have to wait for those systems, associated content regions and not just the skill trees and no eta has been given minus "sometime in the future" especially considering all content development was clearly stated to be on hold until B2P and console launches.

    Has console launched yet? Nope. Does it suck we have to wait so long for new content? Yup.

    It'll be quite a few months yet, August or Sept at the earliest, possibly longer.

    I don't mind waiting at all - there's a whole SHEDLOAD of other content for me in the meantime! Even with existing content, I predict I'll be playing this game at least as much as I played Skyrim, and I've played the ever-loving crap out of that game! :)

    I was just curious if there's been any new official word about this stuff lately, especially anything about how the Legerdemain system might fit in with it all.

    With bounties and discovery now working, quests to go steal things, to stick things in containers to frame people, and to pickpocket, reverse-pickpocket, attack-and-elude, or assassinate people, are all now feasible, along with plenty more I've not even imagined; and I believe they've already proposed that on the flip side, for Enforcer-tabard-wearers, there'll be bandit camps they can be sent to raid.

    This'll be a heck of a lot of fun, but I'm hoping it won't be required-group, like the pledges.

    During a ESO Live twitchcast recently we saw some clips of new content in developement one of which was a desert city (I forgot the name). In that clip you see 3 players dressed completly in the Theives guild armor that was teased at Quake-Con last year. So obviously the Theives guild is well in developement and hopefully coming not too long after console release.

    It was during the show from 21st of January.
    Some of the upcoming content like Mephala's Realm is shown starting around 20mins in. The clip of Abah's Landing that shows All three Thieve's Guild armors starts at 39:49

    Dont count on it. ZOS had stated in their pre launch marketing this would be in about update 1.3. after the game launched and they realised it was going B2P they shelved it and im guessing this will be a Pay for expansion. And they have already said they will not have any more content updates for the rest of the year, while they work on the console launch. Thanks PC beta!

    We know these have been hinted at and probably mentioned prior to the whole B2P reveal. However, the most recent comments we have in regards to future updates is that...
    1. Focus will be mostly on new content and less on systems (especially revamping/refactoring current systems)
    2. Any sort of roadmap won't be discussed until after the console launch.

    As far as we know, lots of things are still on the table. Unfortunately, most of these were either mentioned/hinted/shown prior to B2P reveal. My fear is that any or all of these will get pushed in favor of delivering things like new quests and what not.
    1. Complete removal of VR
    2. Spellcrafting
    3. Next phase of Justice System (player enforcers)
    4. Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood

    Spellcrafting is still on ice. As we hear really nothing about Thieves Guild & Dark Brotherhood, those seem to be on ice, too.

    I'm hoping they're included in the first of the DLCs to be released. Everyone cross your fingers and toes.

    Don't think most of the closet-psychopaths who like to run around gutting NPCs in broad daylight would fare well in the Dark Brotherhood.
