    Us console players didn't even get a chance to scratch the surface of that older content before the IC update that made it all next to obsolete.

    No they really shouldn't. That would be the absolute worst thing they could do with the patch.

    Yes, they really REALLY should. This game is not old enough to make what little group content there is already completely obsolete to players at cap who were still enjoying it and getting rewards for their time.

    You didn't mention a bear mount!
    Will there be a bear mount?
    OMG I want a bear mount.
    I think I saw a bear mount in the video.
    You have to include the bear mount in your list.

    Kind of excited about new content. I hope there's a bear mount as well.

    You forgot to mention the bear pet as well!

    No they really shouldn't. That would be the absolute worst thing they could do with the patch.

    Actually they really should. VR16 trials and DSA will mean more group content to do that provide more sets to make builds from and flesh out end game content.

    Progressive single player content sounds pretty awesome. Been playing MMOs for a very long time, and I can't think of this being done before. Great idea and I look forward to it.

    Yeah great idea... Let's make an MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) rpg play more like a single player rpg. That will win back the thousands of MMO players that left the game.

    PLAYABLE AT ANY LEVEL

    Finally! You're on the right track <3 Whatever system you used to make this possible, I hope you can eventually apply it to the base game locations as well. Will make levelling alts so much more enjoyable if we can level in the areas we enjoy most. At the very least, I'm glad it's being applied to DLC, and once there's a lot of different DLC locations available playable at any level, that will be awesome.

    How does the playable at any level work though? Does it dynamically scale your character to a certain level? Or are you playing this content in your own phase (thus not interacting with other players)? Can players of vastly different levels play together and level effectively?

    Looking forward to the LFG improvements. However, there still needs to be some type of incentive for actually using the LFG. Some type of reward, like they have in other MMOs. What about a chest w/ mats, or gold, or something else useful. After each finished LFG run, award a key or token. You can combine up to 3 keys/tokens for a greater reward. I think that would encourage ppl to use the LFG function. Still, I'm happy they are looking to improve the dungeon finder, just don't know if this will be the pivotal improvement.

    Which MMO has this? Only play one other, with a functioning group tool. No rewards were ever give for using the tool.

    While I can't say anything accurate since ESOs group tool has become infamous for being what it is. With the improvements, I'm sure players will not need more incentive and actually just want to use it for what it is. People will love just to have it working and will want to use it because of that simple reason lol.

    I'm not against what you suggest though.

    LoTRO provides bonus XP and gold for running group tool, and so does Rift and also WoW I believe (never played WoW so can't confirm that...),

    I can't wait to see how fast the mass exodus from IC is going to be once this DLC is released!!

    PVP players can have their PVP DLC back to themselves and can quit complaining about all the PVE players ruining it for them!!

    There's no PVP DLC. There's only PvE DLC and PVE DLC with slight PvP elements.
