Been listening to the Atmospheric Black Metal Albums channel for a while now while running veteran dungeon pledges. Really kicks off in Elden Hollow.
If ESO can't survive without the console users, then the game deserves to die. And if it did, then maybe the pc game companies would stop catering to the console users.
There are game companies that only do console games. Let the console users play those games.
To answer the itemization question: We have done a lot of work to make the itemization fun and exciting in the next major update. There are lots of cool unique sets for players to chase after in multiple different areas. We're doing extensive balance work to make sure they all give competitive bonuses instead of the current paradigm where everyone just chases the few uber powerful sets. This will allow players to customize sets to their playstyle instead of just getting whatever adds the most damage.
Additionally the new content has a short term and a long term item chase as well. To go hand in hand with that the power spike on the new items is bigger, so players are more rewarded for upgrading their gear.
For the next major update you'll see a lot of cool customization options with all the crazy new item sets. For example we've got one that will have you running around chasing orbs for bonus damage, or additional attacks vs targets with damage shields.
In terms of XP, we're actually buffing for some areas in the next major update. Specifically public dungeons and craglorn are being increased. Additionally we're increasing the XP that veteran level quests give so there's more of a parity between gains between questers and grinders. Lastly we're reducing the amount of XP required to get a veteran rank so players can get to the max level content sooner.
So, anybody still interested in the Next Major Update™?
> Believe it or not I am. I'm on this crazy train till the end. I took a month off from playing, came back today and met the login screen about six times in four hours. PVP was just EP farming DC at their main gates, so yah, I'm taking another break.To answer the itemization question: We have done a lot of work to make the itemization fun and exciting in the next major update.

>This isn't fun in my book. I'd rather have straight up PVP rather than playing chase the dragon Ball thing for longer than the buff is applied for. Like the buff from Cyrodil dungeons that usually lasts till you get into a fight, then expires. Unless they fixed it.In terms of XP, we're actually buffing for some areas in the next major update.

> They just nerfed everything into the ground xp wise and said it was for overall balance. Why mention the vet levels xp being buffs when it's been said in the next big update that they will be removed? I'm guessing that since people found the xp potion and complained about the ironic timing of the xp nerf, they were smart and reversed their scheme..
No? Nobody?
Thought so. You can only get hyped without anything to show for so often.

Thank you!
Oh, so now there'll be news on new content after E3?
That's . . .
Pass the popcorn please.
I don't think that'll do it ...
I need an infusion of liquefied popcorn.
Everybody else is releasing new stuff even before E3 to get people hyped.
ZOS can't even get anything done at E3.

In fairness, when I created the thread about the on screen adverts used for Server Maintenance when it reached close to 6-7 pages with a LOT of views, they did act on it.
There's probably a forum protocol that when a thread gets to a certain level, and it's weighted heavily towards a negative impact on the society/game in general, they act on it and roll out the heavy weights.
Anyway, this thread is getting to serious now
I suspect this is how it was for the console players this morning
Just wanted to say: Thanks for this thread, it has amused the heck out of me over the last couple of days while watching the, seemingly, never ending stream of mis-located threads swamp GD.

But to answer your question on Lootdrop and other improvements like Advanced inventory filters, yes it's something we want to integrate into the UI. We've started some exploration into getting the loot drop system into the PC but nothing further that I can go into just yet and we would like to improve some of the filtering features of the inventory as well.

Also got all my fingers and toes crossed hoping for an announcement AND an expected release date for some new content at E3 .
I am really missing playing but atm there is nothing to grab my interest, especially as I have brand new content to play elsewhere.
I have 2 VR14's, a VR13 and a low level character BUT the character I enjoy most and feel is my best effort has done pretty much everything.......
I kept myself amused for a good while solo-ing a lot of the group based play however I have now got nothing that makes me want to log-in and this has been compounded by the fact that many of my usual grouping pals have also stopped playing......
As it appears many of the PC problems have transferred to console, I must admit I am worried we may have a longer than desirable wait for that much needed new content.

My bets are Imperial City will be announced at E3 to bolster console sales. Oh, and then maybe they will us a bit more "after E3". Shall we have a guessing game? I'd says hit PTS week of July 27.. release end of August?

Originally Kai said at E3... now they're saying next week (From the reddit ama today).
Either way... we should have some news in a few days time... .which is at least something!
I agree with MissBizz... I reckon they will announce something at E3... it's the perfect platform to get the maximum exposure which will help to drive sales.

I really hope so. I am getting content starved and I keep watching the Imperial City video from 2014 wistfully .. hoping ... wishing ...
Btw the name of the last character in your sig made me laugh out loud.

OH you mean the video where they showed right before saying Imperial City was completely done but because the 2.0 patch was going to be so large already they were holding off on it yet suddenly they had to spend another 6 months on it. That video?

BUT.....
I must admit to not really being clued up on what the Imperial City will offer, however I sort of presumed it was a PVP based area due to it's location, just did a quick search and didn't really get any concrete answers.....
Anyone point me to a good link describing what the actual content of the city is likely to be?
Thankyou.
Oh and because it's necessary........
