This is my view how they should have done this announcement

The "SOON(TM)" is pathetic!
This year for ESO should be content they have not shown before.

A roadmap with dates should be:

• DLC for new zone: Imperial City
• DLC for new zone: Orsinium
• DLC for new NPC guild: Dark Brotherhood
• DLC for new NPC guild: Thieves guild
• Next major update: Including lag fixes, Cyrodiil misc, new/updated game mechanics and the 3 new main quests. New global skills. Added tradeskills features and what else is in the normal major update.

The coming this year should be:

• New zone: X
• New game content like SPELLCRAFTING
• Champion system Phase 4
• Justice system Phase 2
• New features like an Arena or Dungeons
• RP features like horse racing
• Improved guild features
• Improved/new game mechanics X

It is NOT ok to keep saying "Soon" with the same content they promised, in detail since May 2014. You give dates. SOON is new things you are working on.

None of the things under your "this year" list are actually going to come out this year.

Can someone explain to me why this game is universally hated upon?

So I was watching the Bethesda E3 conference livestream on twitch. Chat was gushing over Doom, Dishonored 2 when their bits came up, with countless "take my money now!", "bethesda is love, bethesda is life" messages in the chat. But when it came time for the ESO presentation, the chat was 100% against the game. The chat was just a stream of /yawn emotes, "boring", "what is this ***?", "get this *** off the screen", "lol they're still talking about this? this game died four months after launch", "wow is better" messages. The ESO teaser barely got any applause and the twitch audience reaction was even worse than for the Hearthstone and Battlebarge Splatoon ripoff games announced during the conference.

Why the hate?

Just even looking at the ESO E3 trailer that was posted to youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNMdyGw-IL0. First comment I see is:
"
This game is ***. Don't buy into the hype. Awful graphics and little to no content. Just look at the number of levels, only 50 while a game like WoW has 100 - double the gameplay right there. Claims to be a "massively multiplayer" game but has no organized pvp and the "raids" are limited to 12 ppl. How is that "massive"? Again, compare to the market leader - WoW, Wildstar have 40 man raids and 2v2 arenas. You don't know what massive is until you get 40 friends together to raid molten core, not fart about in the 12 man "raids" ESO has.

Awful, awful, awful. All that is keeping Bethesda afloat is Fallout 4, all their other studios push out turds of games.

A card game that won't compete with Hearthstone and will die out ,

A cash shop mount

A promise of content to come that was already promised before


/ golf clap

If this was meant to allay the fears that ESO Players currently have then they really do not understand the issues at all.

ESO/Zeni: I would seriously consider replacing whoever it is you have in the hot seat for ESO Marketing.

This was appalling. After months of being told "After Console ™" all we get is a reminder if an old promise you failed to keep already, a Gouge-Shop Mount and a *&^%$%^ Card Game.

Really?

This is it?

It's almost like you want ESO to fold so you can re-task the resources to Fallout 4.

Shocking failure to understand the real concerns of the people who pay your wages.

Be ashamed.

All The Best

I am going to be so pissed if they don't announce anything. I'm sure it will just be some new imperial city footage, and perhaps some Wrothgar fly-throughs.

Did i call it or what?

Guys; Matt Firor talked a little bit about this in the console AMA last week. He confirmed we would not get any major announcements at the E3, but don't worry we will get major announcements THIS week. (he said, after the E3 which is next week)

You must be new here.

Just as a matter of reference... the year 2025 is also after E3. I read the console AMA and if there was a firm commitment to information next week then I didn't see it.

I would say next week at the very earliest, but considering that the E3 video only suggested that IC and Orsinium were due this year, I wouldn't be surprised if that info was: a) a while in coming so as to be nearer the release date, b) along the lines of "yes, these two things are actually coming this year. No, we aren't delaying yet again... that is why we only showed two of them to you... rather other things we have claimed are in the works such as Murmire, Wrothgar, Spellcrafting etc."

dissapoiment level over 99999999999999999999999999999999x99999999999999999999999999999999999999x9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999! if they dont announce something interesting at some conference is clear they have nothing coming for us.

As was asked several times before in this thread...

Could somebody please post links as soon as they are publically available, please?

Here is the trailer. Looks cool and all but nothing about release date except for the "soon" default answer.

Thanks for the link

Love the things seen in this trailer. Everything looks fantastic

Hope these things are coming soon

It dosen't look good for ZOS. originally the plan for ZOS was that they should create games that required a subscription, that failed and the revenue model is now the same as the other games in the corpration. But with one major difference, the other games only require 2-3 DLC releases and then it's ok for them to forget the game and start developing a new game. The ZOS model basicly require them to continue development , and keep the servers running forever.

The other games tend to sell far better too, in the 5-10 million range. While ESO probably will sell less than 2 million total. While ZOS is barely breaking even, the other companies are cash machines.

If they don't belive in the subscription model anymore, then there's no reason for ZOS to exist basicly. They could just fade the game, and move on with the single player games.

Do the players even belive in ZOS anymore, if they invest 100m$ in another mmorpg through ZOS how will they know it will even break even and not make a massive loss like Funcom did with TSW?

I think the board will find other places to invest those 100m$.

all they did for eso was say that imperial city and orsinium where coming this year thats it

I think they were under the impression this was E3 2014, we heard it all before nigh on a year ago.

Ahahaha so much this

So, having reviewed the video, looked at the comments and seen the feedback, I think there is only one thing that the community can respond with....

I'm waiting for the xp potion recipe ingredients. They told us it comes today. I saw pics and talk about it but I need an official announcement before I go broke by buying beveridge ingredients up.
