    There is nothing realy for the gamer that enjoys Actual Group play. Large Public dungeons are not Group oriented play. No new trials no real group content. this is a cash grab sorry, its and empty patch nothing to enrich or expand the game play. Just a zone with two public dungeons.Craglorn was better

    The only thing good about craglorn was the Trials. This zone I predict will become the main hub for every faction, seeing as any lvl can go there. I mean really Craglorn sucks its so empty.

    It's exactly what I want in a DLC zone.

    Nice side effect is it finishes off the province of High Rock for accessibility, only thing missing is the isle of balferia where the adamantine/direnni tower is.

    I'm a solo player at heart. The concept of a solo arena, with leaderboards and rewards, is extremely appealing to me. Also,

    -CP Cap
    -Higher IC Dungeon Drop rates
    -Harvestable V15+ mats
    -New sets not tied to Dungeon farming
    -Cross faction grouping
    -New explorable zone

    If this update is done right I'll likely be resubbing.

    Bear Mounts!! finally now all I have to do is wait for my crowns which I get every 6 months! AGHH!!!!, they will probably go for 3000 or 4000 crowns each which will probably be worth more then the DLC itself which makes no sense at all, I say closer to 2000 is a fairer enough price.

    Every update until now has been group play. Let people who love solo stuff have their DLC. If I remember correctly, Murkmire will be your cup of tea.

    Were are the new groupdungeons? Only 2 new public dungeons? No new 12 man trials?

    A solo arena not even the option to do a groupversion?

    Somebody said it and yes it's an EMPTY DLC!

    And for those solo players out there, go and play Skyrim or maybe Fallout 4 is for you.
    The game on the PS4 is already dying a slow death with IC update aka Grind City.

    Remember a MMO is all about groupplay.....

    Yeah, no. An mmo isn't just about group play. Mmos all offer some form of solo play and it has been that way for years now.

    Only concern is that I can't keep dropping $20 for these little DLCs that honestly shouldn't be $20 in the first place. It's cool content, but not half a game's price of cool.

    Also, making it 2500 crowns when there's only a 750, 1500, and 3000 crown option... that's a *** move.

    Isn't orsinium 3000 crowns for the standard and 5000 for the collector thingy edition? So you got what you wanted, you now gotta pay full 25$ for the DLC and won't have to spend 500 crowns on something else.

    On topic: I hate it!
    - Nothing for PvP players (yes, I know Orsinium is a PvE DLC but IC was announced as a PvP DLC which it simply isn't so I still had some hope)
    - The new way to spend AP on is nothing but a huge "F*** y** - no new gear for you!" for us PvP players
    - Probably tons of new super-sets you gotta grind in mindless PvE until you finally get that RNg for the desired Heavy Armor well-fitted item you want...

    Then let them make a new single player game for those players, as long as they are putting it out there as a MMO the social and groupplay aspect are the most important.

    As long as they're not making a new trial with Orsinium, I don't see why they couldn't up the existing trials to v16. No point in alienating even more people after the IC release... Especially when Orsinium will have to compete with Fallout 4's release...

    I like how you assume that people who are excited for more single player content aren't mmo players. I've been playing mmos for over ten years not an I couldn't be happier that there is more solo content coming. Just because it doesn't have stuff that caters to you doesn't mean it is an "empty dlc", saying that is just childish.

    -Craglorn offered PvE group content
    -IC offered PvP and PvE group content
    -Orsinium is offering solo PvE content

    From what I know, Murkmire is going to be similar to Craglorn as far as the type of content it will have so wait for that.

    haha, fair enough if that 3000 crown thing is true. Not sure if that's good... still too much for a zone.

    And I'm also a pvp player, which is why my reaction is "meh" for this but I bought IC day one. However, the solo arena challenge sounds fun to me, and I bet it will go over well with a lot of pvp players. It sounds counter-intuitive, but it makes sense. A lot of pvpers hate pve because we hate being locked into a schedule. But if it's solo, then like pvp, I can just hop on ESO whenever I want. Sounds fun.
