I hope @ZOS is going to bomb us with content after console launch

FrostixX · June 2015

I hope @ZOS is going to bomb us with content after console launch because if they don't, this will show us that they don't care about PC players who were here supporting the dev's and their game from the start. Console players too should not be ignored.
Since update 6 (launched on March 4th 2015), the game is desert content-wise. NOTHING. They promised us that the game would be constantly updated with new content and that's not what is currently happening.
So please @ZOS, make an effort and give us INFORMATION about new content in the following week. By content I mean :
-New Crown Store items and especially mounts (1 update per month is too poor)
-Give us info about Update 7 and release it ASAP
-New motifs would be awesome to have
-Auction House (an independent one where players can sell their items)

Any other ideas ?

I'm just asking for information from @ZOS, we are uninformed about the upcoming content and this is really annoying.

Please, feel free to share your thoughts.

That would be nice

Plenty of cash shop updates but very few actual game content updates. Welcome to free to play / buy to play. You all wanted it so you got it. Can't wait until they put the gambling boxes in the cash shop. Heh

Funny how history keeps repeating itself with MMOs.

Won't happen. They will be busy 2-4 months fixing console.

They also said 6 dlcs will be finished by 2016. Why 2016?
Should they say something like 3 dlcs by the end of 2015?

I guess the first dlc hits during christmas.

RedTalon · June 2015

Won't happen to a few months after console release, though cash shop updates will happen.

Just my two crowns

I quit playing about 3 weeks ago. Started playing FFXIV and am enjoying it. I went to log in and help someone with PVP in ESO today. Got into the game and was killed by the infinite loading screen mob for a good 90 seconds... TWICE! I helped my friend and logged right back out. I don't miss this games brokenness at all. They need to fix this crap.

I really want to play again. ZOS doesn't want me to though.

This.

I hope that they will bomb us with content. Do I have even the smallest, tiniest, most tiny and pathetic expectation that they will? Not on your life. Not on mine either.

Please ZOS, prove me wrong. Make me eat these words by releasing some of the content that you have been working on/sitting on for so long and having it be good, entertaining content.

Could care less about crown store items. In fact, every time I hear they are releasing a new crown store item, it just pisses me off more because it tells me theyre working on this useless stuff and ignoring the need for new actual content.

Other ideas that would be nice to see finally implemented:

-player housing
-increase to storage space
-duels
-arena team pvp
-fixes to many of the long standing bugs and gameplay issues that have been blatantly ignored and denied
-loading screens
-breath of life cast lag
-pvp lag
-loot drop being terrible; making players feel like theyre getting trolled by the devs. (charged on masters weapons?!)
-probably most important; a new zone and new trials

I hope they bomb us so bad we need to call Churchill.

Yinmaigao · June 2015

I went into a "Game Store" yesterday and overheard the clerk talking up the Console version saying that "Yea, they deliberately waited a year to release for console so they could iron out all the bugs and make a smoother, better game for release. They even got rid of the Vet levels and fixed the interface!"

I lol'd my pants...

glak · June 2015

Sometime in Autumn, we have one new solo zone to expect plus the Imperial City and the player guard part of the Justice System. Later on they plan on releasing a 2nd solo zone.

That's what we know. Everything else is really fuzzy. Housing, new weapons, arena, and new trials are on the planning radar but don't expect any news on those this year.

-breath of life cast lag

That's here to stay, sorry. ZOS is now married to it, just like the cast time on Healing Ritual. Templar is the anticipation class.

all of the above is unacceptable and will probably contribute to why many of us, including myself decide to quit this game.

edit: wouldn't mind a source on the breath of life cast lag issue, i know gina said they were gonna fix it at some point, did they say otherwise somewhere?

My prediction:

Imperial City - Sept time
Orsinuim - Xmas time
Murkmire - March 2016
Mephala's Realm - June 2016
Clockwork City - September 2016
Abadah's Landing - Xmas 2016

That would fill their quota for 6 by the end of 2016. Maybe we may see Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild between these.

TL;DR

Rushed Ceremony has a noticeable animation delay.
The launch frame of this ability is just slower than some of the other abilities by design. Since Rushed Ceremony is already very powerful, we’re ok with the fact that part of the skill of using this ability effectively is being able to anticipate damage.

Actually this is not glass half full for me as it's not going to take 3 months to complete a zone

but it's better than the wait we have had for new zones currently maybe? I just want more Tamriel. Is that too much to ask?

It's not about how much or how little you ask but about how much the console release will bring in as a profit.

If it'll be profitable, ESO might be able to do an "U turn" and become a bit like SWTOR, with content added every once in a while (I think much slower than the timeframes you posted).
If it won't be profitable, ZoS won't be able to keep a full development team. I've played 2 other MMOs that suffered ESO's pains and ended up one shutting down, the other produces one smallish patch a year, that's all the remaining devs could afford.

Taleof2Cities · June 2015

The ESO Bomber is rolling out of the hanger just for you, sir, at precisely midnight June the Ninth in the year of our Lord 2015.

Whether the Bomber is carrying live munitions or no ordinance, however, is a matter of inquisitive conjecture ...

PKMN12 · June 2015

It will be just like when they released talked about how they are going to release Imp city, Dark Brotherhood, Thieves guild (heck, have we even heard ANYTHING about these two thigns since they were supposed to be released? were they just dropped?), and ESPECIALLY a full justice system that effects PVE and PVP.

"we Promise all this stuff at release or right after"
(at release) *crickets chirping*

NadiusMaximus · June 2015

Lol. Something may bomb after console launch,but it ain't gonna be new content.
It's been a year and we still ask for updates on the same exact stuff.
A year.

Faulgor · June 2015

They are going to bomb us with more cash shop stuff. It's already in the client (some, like all senche and guar variants, even since B2P launch), as we know from data-mining.

Consoles will be their third (!) release of the same game, which seems to be their payment model, alongside the new crown store. Actual content release would require a change in their development process I'm not sure they are capable or willing to do.
I assume it's more likely we will see a mobile or WiiU version of ESO than new content.

You're surprised that someone whose job is to sell games is talking about how good a new game is going to be? Really?

At best he's reciting what the Microsoft and Sony reps who visit the store once a month to check promotions are displayed properly and update staff on the new releases have told him. More likely he's repeating what he 1/2 heard from other customers in passing.

A year.

Only a year. I remember the days of SWG where we asked for bugs and content fixes for EIGHT (8) years. They didn't even know the language system was borked after the NGE hit lmao. Fixed it with 6 months of life left on the game lmao.

So... Being that ESO is only 1 year old, I have some semblance of hope that they will not be THAT bad as SOE used to be.

I would LOVE to hear some news about things being worked on. I realize that they are busy with launching the game for consoles, but does that really mean they can't even drop us some hints as to what lies beyond the launch? What are their plans for a post console ESO?

Anyone remember the Road Ahead posts? I sure would like to see those return (And not as a recap of what was done, but an actual look at what is being worked on!)

Of course, when they didn't deliver what was spoken about in the Road Ahead's they kind of got railed by the community. I kind of understand them not being open with us.

Castagere · June 2015

Yeah i don't think PC players are going to get much after the console launch. Its going to be all about the console for a long time. This includes all patches and hotfixes. When will you guys see we were testing the game for this launch.

drschplatt · June 2015

Do I hope for a content dump? Yes. Will it happen? Not in this life.

Vizier · June 2015

You know the old saying?

Wish in one hand, squat brown stinky stuff in the other and see which one fills up first.

Zyle · June 2015

I hope so too, but I'm also seeing "content dump" synonymous to "bug dump." Rushed content from these guys is never a good thing.
