When is New Content Coming?

sirston · May 2015

I'm very interested In when new content is coming out as of everyone else is also,we know new content is to hit in June with the launch of imperial city. But we have failed to see a road ahead for June or an announcement for it. What I want to know is it going to be released in a two weeks time (First week of June) Or is it going to be your typical releases for updates where its the 31st of the month?
Yes I know June doesn't have the 31st its a joke

They said IC was coming sometime in June? Ive been on vacation but I hadnt read that.

Rosveen · May 2015

Nobody said it's coming in June.

Weberda · May 2015

I believe what they basically said is that new content would not be out until after console release. Merry Xmas ya'll.

rynth · May 2015

they have stated many times that no new content until after console launch which is in June. Console launch is a very broad time frame because with launch I'm sure there will be issues like there are with a lot of games either with game functions such as party chat, group launching, etc. So, I'm banking on new information around end July if lucky maybe August or September.

Though could be wrong and they have something going on in June, I've been here since Beta, I'm a patient man, and I like the game so for myself I'm willing to wait. Others may not be who knows, I say sit back relax enjoy the game and have fun.

They kind of did. They said they will not have a first day download for dlc on console release day (June 9th). One can assume this includes that week as well. So definitely not the first week. Probably not the second or third either to give consoles some time to settle in before pushing them dlc. I'm thinking at least not until July.

Friend there is nothing for me to enjoy in this game but PVP at the moment since ive done basically everything the game has to offer, saying that I feel zenimax is going down a slippery slope of a Day one DLC for console many company's have done it and I don't see why They wouldn't do it them self's.

Console launches in June, nor new content. Unfortunately.

Um, OK then...

Pallmor · May 2015

Oh, you thought they meant June *2015*.

Robbmrp · May 2015

My guess is around the first of July. They will want console players to have a few weeks playing the game before putting up DLC for people to buy. Hopefully sooner than that though.

idk · May 2015

By the numbers it will beats July at the earliest. In the beginning they had a goal of new content every 6 weeks but obviously slowed that down. By that it would be at least 3 weeks into July. With that, they announced this year they would slow down the release of new content so expect August at the earliest for a release of IC.

I_killed_Vivec · May 2015

Two things...

1. They said that following the console release all updates would be released at the same time across all platforms.

2. No DLC until a "decent" time after console release - or console players will wonder why it wasn't included in the game they bought.

Give the average console player a few months to get to VR14, and a couple more to get bored, then release new content just in time for Christmas.

Yeah, they are going to want to wait until console players might be about ready for new content so they can drop it while interest is at its peak.

I just hope that all the tweaks and fixes that they say will not come until the "next major update" after console release does not mean that the "next major update" will only happen when there is a content dump.

Zhoyzu · May 2015

This day one DLC is bogus. It Couldnt possibly be day one DLC seeing the game has been out for over a year. It would be year one DLC at best. Console player should just understand that and live with it or leave.

After being shafted and stone walled for 8 months it would be nice to get something. maybe a road ahead... im starting to think there is no 'ahead'.

Zanen · May 2015

I think folks are looking at this wrong. ZOS isn't intentionally trying to screw you over.

You have to acknowledge that PC launch was essentially a disaster. That's the starting point for understanding what's gone on in the game over the last year. You've also got to acknowledge the game was designed for consoles from day one. All of it's combat systems are designed for controller.

They had announced console launch for shortly after PC, and then announced a six month delay a month after PC launch and only a month before the console was supposed to launch. That six months turned into a year, nothing they had planned as far as updates or even the economic model of the game survived first contact with the playerbase.

It should have been obvious to everyone when the console delay announcement was made it was going to be a rough year for PC players (as if it wasn't already in beta). They couldn't afford to close the PC servers down and frankly they needed a live testbed to have any hope of fixing the game.

Anyway I guess what I'm trying to say here is console launch had to happen, those resources had to be invested and now console is ZOS' second and last chance at a successful launch, they need console to be a success and bring in revenue to fund further development, and hopefully they have been busy the last year on stuff we haven't seen yet to make that possible.

I dont like it but I think this is going to happen. They will fix console for 6 month and then release a DLC for christmas

This bloke is 100 percent on the dot so cut out the whining about the console release and held back dlc if you srsly care that the game remains around for the next few years.

More likely September 2015 .
Half the posts on the forums at the moment are players begging for something (anything) new in ESO, but management just wants their investment money back

timborggrenlarsenb16_ESO · May 2015

if any, we will see them in aug, oct.

rophez_ESO · May 2015

Actually, they said "after console release settles down" - my interpretation is like @Weberda said - Merry Xmas!

Natjur · May 2015

Lucky there is Witcher 3 to keep you busy until ESO release something new.
Any new zone would be nice........

Half our guild quit the day Witcher 3 was released. There has been NO NEW ZONES for over a year (Craglorn was 90% done back in beta, but just not released to 'pretend' to be new contents) And we still have bugs that were back in beta. The game engine has issues they I don't think they can fix and now its just about milking it via crown store cheese.

ESO management can't half the dev team and except players to stay around doing the same thing day after day if the game is not stable and nothing new is getting added.

Robbmrp · May 2015

If ZOS isn't going to release new Content(Zones, Dungeons & Quests) within the next 3 months then they need to fix all of the problems in the game. If they don't, they will lose a ton of players to other games with more stability and content. Game stability is what will help keep people here when there isn't anything new to do. Who wants to go into Cyrodil with all the complaints about lag and spells not firing! We all want to experience everything this game has to offer WITHOUT THE LAG. If they do not fix these problems quickly more and more people will just leave.

Moonshadow66 · May 2015

I've heard rumors about June 2025, but not sure if they're true.

I have this idea that when a portion of the current player population goes to the console platform that perhaps the PC server's performance will improve. That's what I'm hoping for anyway.

This is already happening to an extent. They are actively responding and fixing pointed feedback regarding bugs. No it's not fixing the lag but it is a step in the right direction.

It's a good sign that it's occurring before they've even released on consoles. That way when the console does release I would hope they will have even more time to dedicate to fixing things and maybe even tackle the huge obstacles like pvp lag, lfg tool and the constantly breaking champion system.

Edit: I suggest anyone that is still passionate about being here, instead of fueling the lack of content/boredom threads, get into discussions to help with reporting any and all bugs/fixes you think are necessary.....oh and don't be a **** about it

Nobody said they weren't going to add player housing next week, so it's pretty safe to assume they're going to add that next maintenance.

Prizax · May 2015

June? I think you mean end of the year...
