✭OverpricedOnly reason I voted overpriced because not knowing how many bugs are fixed that have been here forever. It shouldn't just be looked at as new content but also game fixing. IMHO!“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.”

They talked about a lot of bug fixes in the most recent ESO Live. Check it out to see if some of your concerns are answered there.0 -

Really? More than the cost of a normal full expansion, for a single-zone DLC?
Considering the cost of other crown store items, 25 is not that bad. Particularly for anyone that has been smart enough to save up any accrued crowns from being a former subscriber.
So if they charged $100 for a horse, and $90 for a zone of DLC, that makes it a good deal because it's priced less than a horse?

ZakuBeta✭✭✭OverpricedJust shy of 1/2 the cost of the game for a single zone......How is that even considered a "fair" price? I'm all for them making money, but seriously, this is a bit much. $10-$15 at most is what it should cost.6 -
OrangeTheCat✭✭✭✭✭
✭OverpricedI said 'overpriced' because this new content was something that was promised as part of the original subscription which I paid non-stop from release to B2P announcement. As far as I am concerned, ZOS stole some money from me in a sense. But hey, I don't play the game anymore since B2P so what do I care? I am only here to assess whether the game is worth installing again. Still, my point is still valid IMO.0 -

Don't forget. The best way to ensure you don't lose access to the new content is to not provoke the other factions by taking keeps. So, ignore the only current avenue of PvP to make sure you have access to the new pvp/pve.0 -

actually i am pretty sure they said that they would try to have new "content" every 4-6 weeks. Contrary to what many may think new content is, it is not simply new areas to explore. It can also be new gear or skill lines or dyes etc. That said, they have only done crown store stuff since 1.6 so im not sure if i would count that. But more to your point, lets look at the first year. Lower crag, Upper crag, vet dungeons, armor, dyes, update 6, daily quests, motifs, traits, and lets not forget time spent on console launch. but lets simplify it to your 3-4 a year and include only the largeer items. 1.)lower crag 2.)upper crag 3.)vet dungeons 4.)update 6.
So why are you complaining if you got excatly what you stated. now imperial city will be the first content of this year. stop complaining and but the imperial city like you know you will.0 -

Warlords of Draenor: $50
- 8 zones
- 10 level increase
- 10+ instances/raids (11 now with a patch - for free)
- New gameplay (Strongholds)
Imperial City: $25
- 1 zone split in to 6 districts
- 2 level increase
- 3 dungeons (1 pvp, 2 pve)
Not including the crafting and stuff since, though WoD has more, I weigh it as equal since it's not something really "to do".
- Firstly WoD was 60€.
- Imperial City is 20€.
Warlords of Draenor
- 8 zones
- 1 Ashran Crap
- 2 Starting Faction Specific Zones, so you can play only 1
- Tanaan Jungle came 8 months after launch
- So basically 5 Zones at launch.
Imperial City
- A huge City with very big Sewers System, that seems bigger than 1 ESO normal Zone (Which equals to 3 WoW Draenor Zones anyway)
- 4 new dungeons (Veteran versions have always been different from the Normal version so far, different bosses, different layout, continuation of the story etc.)
You comparison is very lame indeed. But to be honest Imperial City has probably more than half the content of Warlords of Draenor. Besides we'll get about 4 DLCs per year now that Consoles launched. 2 are more than enough to equal WoW Expansions, but we'll probably see 8 every 2 years.Edited by Bloodfang on July 15, 2015 3:48PM1 -
MCMancub✭✭✭✭FairIn USD,
If you were to purchase 5500 crowns for $39.99 you would get the DLC for ~$18.18.
If you were to purchase 3000 crowns for $24.99 you would get the DLC for ~$20.83.
There is no situation in which you would pay $25 for this DLC.Edited by MCMancub on July 15, 2015 3:50PM2 -

I dont see where people got the idea that we have to have certain keeps to access the imperial city. Where did this info come from. To my knowledge I have watched every last eso live and followed all the news and no where have i seen them actually say this. I am not saying it is wrong but would like to see a source on it. All i see is people continually saying it and spreading rumors, but not once have i seen or heard anything official. Can you point me in the right direction please?0 -

well if you want to get technical you would still only be paying $20 for the content cause you would have extra crowns left over so that money techinically is not spent on the DLC

You're subtracting zones because of complaints or your inability to access due to lack of characters. Tanaan is a valid point. So we'll agree on 7 zones.
- "A huge city with very big sewers system" ... cough ... your inflation aside that counts as 1. Sorry.
- Possibly have a point. If Vet version is indeed different than normal.
I'm curious why you think the sewers of 1 city would be as large as, say, Deshaan. Do you not think the developers took scale in to account when they developed this content?
Lastly, you truly believe we'll be getting 4 DLCs a year?3 -

I'm talking about euro.
Because enough has been datamined for me to see the whole picture.
And by now you should know that DLCs will contain Zones as big as we have already ingame, or even bigger.
Imperial City is not just a PvP Zone, it's a huge mix of PvE and PvP things to do.

Its not being 'technical'. Its the reality of the situation. There is no 20 dollar option so youre forced to purchase more crowns then needed.

✭✭✭✭✭FairI reserve the right to change my vote IF they end up deciding not to allow access to everyone. As someone who only PvE's, it is outrageous IMO to ask people to pay for content that has limited access and only through means that they don't play- as in PvP. If they are adding PvE content, then they should allow access to players who don't PvP.CP: 2105 ** ESO+ ** ~~ ***** Strictly a solo PvE quester *****

People assume it's like that because it's modelled after DAoC's Darkness Falls, which worked like this... and I think they also said that the loosing factions would have an easier time because the winning faction would loose players to people going to Imperial City... which sounds like it works how it does in DAoC.
