Kai made a comment in twitch chat on the last ESO live which indicated that an announcement is likely at E3 in about 2 weeks regarding new content, which seems to be the imperial city.

Educated guess is that this will be some more detail, & fingers crossed a rough PTS date.

At this point if the next update (DLC whatever) just contains Imperial City then I'm going to be extremely disappointed. It's been since November since some actual content was released... give us more than just Imperial City please. Maybe the High end PVP gear from Quakecon along with all the armor/weapons sets mentioned at Quakecon would be nice as well as other stuff for those of us who actually stuck around all this time without content.

Completely agree and that's sad. They keep saying they won't talk about it until E3... well that means testing still has to take place along with other stuff... so to say August/September seems like a probable and depressing guess. That will mean that we've gone almost a year without any real content (Update 5 hit in November of last year)

They are. They're giving you the game again on 2 separate consoles. You may not play consoles, but that doesn't mean they don't count as content.

I don't mean to speak for PC players but I'll just say that it being released on console does not count as any content for us. I think all the people leaving the game for basically anything else would agree.

It's not about what you consider content. It's about what ZOS considers content. They spend the resources to develop new content. To them, consoles are content. Ergo de facto they have been spending resources over the last year developing new content.

It is about what I consider content because I am the customer. I understand they have been hard at work with the console release but it's not like when consoles version is released a ton of players are going to come back from Witcher or Far Cry to the PC version because the PC didn't get anything new. If ZOS wants to count is as content for PC players then so be it, they can enjoy a dead game.

Feel free to use the search engine to find the massive amount of threads that show that console release will probably triple, if not more, their player base. Console release is far and away the healthiest thing that's happened to this game to date.

And this is coming from a PC gamer who doesn't own any console and isn't going to purchase one. Just someone who can recognize that more players = more money = more content.

I understand the overall goal of what ZOS is trying to accomplish because multiple platforms means more money, but it also might mean stretching yourselves too thin and screwing over one half of your audience. If they have the whole ZOS team working on the console version now, what does that mean for future content? Do they plan on having a separate team doing console or will the same team work on both? If they plan on having the same team on both versions then that means more time in between updates and more chances that one of them missing something in coding and it brings in a huge bug. (Which already happens without the console)

The game has a ton of potential but to not see that a ton of players are leaving the PC version and probably won't come back short of a miracle is a mistake. ZOS might be gaining a console crowd at the cost of the PC crowd.

Anyway, at this point you're either trolling or just not getting it, which is fine. I guess we will agree to disagree on this one. Have a good day.

It's not one half. It's not even close to one half. From a business perspective, it does not matter if they screw over PC players if they make up for it by gaining 3xs (realistically it will be quite a bit more) players from consoles. I'm not exactly happy about it, but it makes 100% sense to me. At this point, PC is literally nothing more than setting the stage for them to make exponentially more, and do exponentially more with the game, due to consoles.

EDIT: As of April 12th, only 14% of Skyrim sales were on PC. It sold 6xs more on consoles. With that in mind, try to understand why they are giving consoles so much priority and why they don't care if they lose PC players in the process.

In short term he is right. In long term I disagree it will not help ZoS out if they keep on the road they are on. Time will tell if what they have done to the PC/MAC players will hurt them big time in the long run!

Console players outnumber PC players by such a large number that all they have to do is keep console players happy and they'll be way more successful than they were in their first year.

More players != better game

And successful for ZOS is not the same as successful for players. ZOS version of successful is having everyone spend all of their money in the cash store.

Well, I hope your ready to wait even longer!

ZoS said we arent getting a big update until after summer. yup..

Apparently ZoS doesnt know about the summer rise in MMO's and they think the game is perfectly fine and console will do everything for them. ATTENTION ZOS: Console players are not MMO players! chances are that people who mainly play console have never played a MMO and will have no way on how to deal with it, they are all going to go in thinking its like Skyrim but its not so they will quit

Or if what you say is true then ZoS may start changing the game to be a more single player game. At this point am not sure which way they are going to go. They have left PC/MAC players out to dry for sure.

I can somewhat agree with what you are saying but I think its the way they went about this, is whats left a sour taste in most peoples mouth.

I absolutely agree. Like I said, I don't play console so I'm not thrilled with this. I'm just sick of seeing people say they aren't working on any content or all they care about is consoles. It's pretty obvious that they are only working on consoles and that consoles are forever going to be their main goal. The explanation is pretty simple. I don't like it, but it's still easy to understand.

Then aren't we screwed if what they say is true and consoles are a couple months behind us? Will they release imp city or wait till consoles get caught up to us? This is all confusing and they should make everything clear without having to wait till E3.

I adore ESO, but there is obviously something wrong if they can't even fix significant bugs that persist month after month. I mean they haven't even fixed Nirnhoned gear, which is extremely overpowered at the moment. The loot system is also just rubbish and the scoring systems in Trials and DSA only promotes speed and not careful play since deaths do not subtract points anymore. And finally, they haven't fixed crashing, in fact it only got worse since 1.6..

I'm still subscribed to the game, because despite it all I play every day, hoping that when the console launch is passed that finally we'll get all the fixes that we have been asking for.

Way to pick out one thing I said and go to town, I realize the console crowd has more people I was just picking a random amount since I don't have the actual numbers or stats.

I think you missed my overall point, you say that you are tired of people saying that they are not working on content when they are working on console content, no arguments, what I was saying is that nothing is coming for the PC version of the game for a while I hope that the next update/DLC (whatever they opt to call it) has more than Imperial City.

I understand why they are turning attention to consoles, like I said in previous posts, but it doesn't mean I have to like it. Being left out to dry really does not make you feel warm and nice inside. Plus a lot of people are transferring to console from PC thinking the grass is greener and that's perfectly fine too but realize that it's the same company but just stretched out thinner because they must focus on more platforms.

And yes Skyrim sold more, but I would think (I have no evidence or employee numbers) that Bethesda is a bigger company than Zenimax Studios (I realize it's owned by the same parent company I am speaking of that actual gaming studios) and they had trouble with getting things out to multiple platforms in an orderly fashion. Maybe it will be different because PS4 and Xbox are better but with being a smaller company who knows.

This game has a lot of potential and who knows what the future holds for it, maybe they shape up and release some great DLCs with a ton of content on all versions that takes hours to complete and PVP will get back to where it was when things launched but in the short term I don't like the path ZoS is taking.

All this! The way they are going about it just stinks. I get they are working on consoles, they even admitted there would be no new content. But they have been pretty silent, you cant tell me they can not come out and give us some info that people have been begging for.

Its ok tbh. ZOS can keep it this way. Its not like 15 years ago when there were no alternatives. FFXIV expansion comes in 20 days, GW2 expansion comes in a few months, WildStar turns F2P in autumn and i can play WoW using Tokens instead of real money, or even return to EvE (as always). You see there are many alternatives anymore for me and ofc there are many other quality games for the tastes of every one.
So once again despite i m playing ESO, i don't care much if they continue to act like this. It will be an easy decision.

patch was really disappointing

So much to do, so little time.

What you say is true, of course. Interestingly, Greg Street, a.k.a. Ghostcrawler (ex-WoW systems lead dev) seems to think along similar lines (this is from a Twitter conversation, paraphrased here):

If I was going to make an MMO (I'm not) I think I'd shoot for something episodic with the expectation players come and go. (OccupyGStreet)
How does the social aspect play into that, though? Sounds like it would be hell on guilds.
I agree, but I think players are episodic already so the business model might as well be. Social hard either way. (OccupyGStreet)
Was there ever a time where that wasn't the case? Is it a more prominent problem today versus 2007?
I *think* so (?). A lot of games, LoL among them, are huge. They try to be the only game you need. (OccupyGStreet)
Which means ironically we tend to drop games as soon as we hit diminishing returns b/c there is so much else out there. (OccupyGStreet)

Is this what gaming looks like in the era after peak-WoW? Are Devs finally owning up to the fact that there can never be enough content to keep all players busy all the time with a single title? If that's true, it's our (the players) fault primarily, and we did that to ourselves.

im tired of asking a question and getting slaped in the face with "soon"

If they have the whole ZOS team working on the console version now, what does that mean for future content? Do they plan on having a separate team doing console or will the same team work on both? If they plan on having the same team on both versions then that means more time in between updates and more chances that one of them missing something in coding and it brings in a huge bug. (Which already happens without the console)

The game has a ton of potential but to not see that a ton of players are leaving the PC version and probably won't come back short of a miracle is a mistake. ZOS might be gaining a console crowd at the cost of the PC crowd.

Anyway, at this point you're either trolling or just not getting it, which is fine. I guess we will agree to disagree on this one. Have a good day.

It's not one half. It's not even close to one half. From a business perspective, it does not matter if they screw over PC players if they make up for it by gaining 3xs (realistically it will be quite a bit more) players from consoles. I'm not exactly happy about it, but it makes 100% sense to me. At this point, PC is literally nothing more than setting the stage for them to make exponentially more, and do exponentially more with the game, due to consoles.

EDIT: As of April 12th, only 14% of Skyrim sales were on PC. It sold 6xs more on consoles. With that in mind, try to understand why they are giving consoles so much priority and why they don't care if they lose PC players in the process.

Every time. Every time console sales are brought up, this absolutely wrong statistic is brought up as well, and every time somebody has to point out that those "14%" don't include digital sales, which are the vast majority of PC sales.
Further, this doesn't recognize regional differences. In Germany, PC sales made up more than half of all of Skyrim's sales - and that still doesn't include digital ones. And Germany is important enough for them to justify the investment of a localization. To think the PC demographic as a whole is worth less than that is just laughable.

Not to mention that comparing Skyrim sales to possible ESO sales is flawed to begin with. Different genre, different target demographic, different hardware in the case of consoles (the last gen was much, much more ubiquitous at Skyrim's release than PS4/Xbone are right now). The only thing they have in common is the IP.

... Still waiting for nirn fix...

... Still waiting for CC fix....

... Still waiting for, well, countless other fixes.

Play Witcher 3 and by the time you finish everything in that, there might be something new to do in ESO
