Ok, with all this console mess is off the table now, where is the new road ahead? When we will see real new content? Psijic ambrosia is more or less Ok, but I would prefer to see DLC or spellcrafting on the table. Especially for solo end game users. Now I already willing to accept the crap like imp city as a new stuff, but no ETA on this either. So, any news out there? Can someone from zos make next eso live dedicated to really important things instead of BS they are doing there each week?

    Go check out the E3 news? I don't know what to tell you. They've told us we are getting, like, 4 new things by the end of this year. If you haven't been paying attention that's on you.

    One could argue that they are working on important stuff all the time but, because they don't tell us about it, we might aswell assume they are doing nothing and the servers will be permanently taken offline before you see any new content.

    Well, things like road maps and plans with ETAs are exactly for that - to see how seriously they are working. So far they told us that console is the top priority - that's ok. But now this stuff is already out there. So what's next for PC users?

    Do you mean E3 2014 news? Because that's the content people are expecting still.

    Thanks. Will see. They implemented only champ system and justice system so far out of ~5-7 things they told us about. So, they have pretty bad record here. Will see this time.

    The company says that it’ll begin its “full pre-launch Imperial City coverage” starting in July which means that the Imperial City could be out before the end of summer.

    Then there's the trailer which showed more of Orsinium (slated to come out within 6 months), a new type of mount, and a teaser for The Dark Brotherhood.

    You're being obtuse if you expect more information about any of these things. Keeping you in the dark is not poor communication, it's a marketing strategy, and it will always be that way. Get over it.

    Thanks. I saw this crap. So, chill out.
    But this is exactly what you said - it is marketing. I am wondering about real information. I am still wondering why zos makes this weekly eso live if they are providing no info during it.

    So taking over a year and a half to release content that they already showed us and keeping us in the dark is a marketing strategy?

    The ESO Lives aren't so you can know what's coming, but so you can talk to developers about why they've already done what they have and how they did it. For example, someone once asked about underwater combat. The ESO Live was the perfect platform to explain why it won't come to ESO (something about too much change to the engine or something; I don't remember). Think of ESO Lives as a press conference. You can ask whatever you want, but that doesn't mean they will answer. Use your questions wisely :)

    Yep. This is not a strategy - this is BS. I understand RIft or wow when they are releasing events and new content on quarterly basis - you can keep people in the dark because there is too much of new content released. But in case of ESO - we have no content for more than half a year (if champ system/justice system is a new content) and having no ETA is really bad marketing.

    I think when the "New Road Ahead" comes out, the PC and Console crowd should come together and no more of this, "what's next for console?" "what's next for PC?"

    If the community stops asking what's next for them and asks what's next for ESO, then maybe the community can flourish as a whole. We all play the game, why can't we all be constructive without any PC master race or new console players posting Console vs. PC threads. Lets all be friends.

    Crap, this is the internet..as you were.

    I am ok with everything as long as we will have new content. Reality is - development first will go on PC and will be ported to the console, so we will have even longer pauses between new contents if we will wait when they will sync PC and console dev.

    The only content that's behind when they told us to expect it is Imperial City. There was never any sort of "expect it by X" for Orsinium. Dark Brotherhood has been a "It's something we want to do in the future" exclusively up until E3. Bear mounts are entirely new.

    Stop acting like a road map is a list of things they promise to bring you. It's not. It's a wishlist. It's just a list of things they want to work on, and most of what was on 2014's road map has been done. I'd be happy to list off the things that were on it that have been covered if you're too lazy to look for yourself.

    ZOS is too busy fixing the loading screens and other things consolers are crying about. Things that us PC gamers have to live with because they won't fix it for us. They won't do a road ahead for quite a while.

    Relax, some of them were covered, but it is even longer list of what was not covered. And the bad thing is - all content is in this second list. What we have is upper craglorn and that's it from content. The rest is game mechanics changes which I can live without. So, do not mix the things. They did some changes, but those changes are not new content.

    Way too lazy. Please list them.

    Let's go through what they've already accomplished together. This is taken from their 2014 road map.
    • A system that allows grouped players to see each other even when they’re in different phases
    • A justice system—steal from and kill NPCs and deal with the consequences if you are caught
    • Migration of European Megaserver to our European datacenter.
    • Field of View (FOV) adjustment
    • Armor dyeing and tinting
    • Two new Veteran Dungeons: Crypt of Hearts and City of Ash
    • New region of Craglorn with a new Trial (the Serpent)
    • Increased ability to pick up items in the world
    • Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood storyline and quests. (Teased at E3 this year)
    • Spellcrafting (Publicly acknowledged that this is no longer a priority)
    • Horse Racing
    • Dragonstar Arena—similar to Trials, but built for a group of four
    • Improvements to fishing (I don't remember the specific goal, but there have been several adjustments in patch notes)
    • Crafting system improvements
    • Improved Looking for Group system (This one is debatable, but I'm of the mind that it would work fine if people used it)
    • Better NPC facial animations
    • Guild functionality updates: guild store interface updates, customizable guild insignias, tabards, and guild ranks, and Guild Kiosks—guild stores open to everyone that are available to the highest-bidding guild.
    • Auto-leveling dungeons that level to your group leader
    • Awards when you repeat dungeons
    • Imperial City PvP dungeon

    On top of all that's been done, they've rebalanced the Veteran System and introduced the Champion System as well as a ton of bug fixes and other small implementations. All while moving from a subscription based model to a microtransactional model.

    Oh and the game is now available on 2 additional platforms.

    Found it.

    Ok, with all this console mess is off the table now, where is the new road ahead? When we will see real new content? Psijic ambrosia is more or less Ok, but I would prefer to see DLC or spellcrafting on the table. Especially for solo end game users. Now I already willing to accept the crap like imp city as a new stuff, but no ETA on this either. So, any news out there? Can someone from zos make next eso live dedicated to really important things instead of BS they are doing there each week?

    Go check out the E3 news? I don't know what to tell you. They've told us we are getting, like, 4 new things by the end of this year. If you haven't been paying attention that's on you.

    Where exactly this link? I have seen one *** trailer about impcity and that's it. Please provide the link.

    Then look a little harder?

    The company says that it’ll begin its “full pre-launch Imperial City coverage” starting in July which means that the Imperial City could be out before the end of summer.

    Then there's the trailer which showed more of Orsinium (slated to come out within 6 months), a new type of mount, and a teaser for The Dark Brotherhood.

    You're being obtuse if you expect more information about any of these things. Keeping you in the dark is not poor communication, it's a marketing strategy, and it will always be that way. Get over it.

    So taking over a year and a half to release content that they already showed us and keeping us in the dark is a marketing strategy?

    Wow. Today I learned...

    The only content that's behind when they told us to expect it is Imperial City. There was never any sort of "expect it by X" for Orsinium. Dark Brotherhood has been a "It's something we want to do in the future" exclusively up until E3. Bear mounts are entirely new.

    Stop acting like a road map is a list of things they promise to bring you. It's not. It's a wishlist. It's just a list of things they want to work on, and most of what was on 2014's road map has been done. I'd be happy to list off the things that were on it that have been covered if you're too lazy to look for yourself.

    Way too lazy. Please list them.

    Let's go through what they've already accomplished together. This is taken from their 2014 road map.
    • A system that allows grouped players to see each other even when they’re in different phases
    • A justice system—steal from and kill NPCs and deal with the consequences if you are caught
    • Migration of European Megaserver to our European datacenter.
    • Field of View (FOV) adjustment
    • Armor dyeing and tinting
    • Two new Veteran Dungeons: Crypt of Hearts and City of Ash
    • New region of Craglorn with a new Trial (the Serpent)
    • Increased ability to pick up items in the world
    • Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood storyline and quests. (Teased at E3 this year)
    • Spellcrafting (Publicly acknowledged that this is no longer a priority)
    • Horse Racing
    • Dragonstar Arena—similar to Trials, but built for a group of four
    • Improvements to fishing (I don't remember the specific goal, but there have been several adjustments in patch notes)
    • Crafting system improvements
    • Improved Looking for Group system (This one is debatable, but I'm of the mind that it would work fine if people used it)
    • Better NPC facial animations
    • Guild functionality updates: guild store interface updates, customizable guild insignias, tabards, and guild ranks, and Guild Kiosks—guild stores open to everyone that are available to the highest-bidding guild.

    And?

    As I said - nothing but the upper craglorn from content point of view. NOTHING AT ALL for Solo end game players or PVP guys. 80% of those things are cosmetics and we can do without it.

    Most of what they've done is very minor. The dyes are the only thing that I feel like made any impact.

    The Justice system is supposed to have a PvP component to it, which from the looks of it is at least another year off. That was the only interesting part about it in my opinion.

    The spellcrafting probably created more hype than anything around here, and that will probably never happen.

    The champion system is, in my opinion, a terrible design choice that adds nothing but an endless linear grind. IF they consider that end-game progression than the future of the game is screwed.

    The only added 'content' I've enjoyed is the dye system. That was a nice touch for character customization and promoted achievement hunting, and exploring things you wouldn't normally do.
