So just saw the new trailer, cant wait but what do you guys think ? you think they will be able to make it right and lore freindly, and yeah do any of you guys know where the guild was first made? ws it in Hammefell ? and what do you think of only passive skills and not any active in the new skill line that will come ?

    It didn't really show much more than a few glimpses. Which makes me think they are either lacking stuff or they are trying to not have spoilers.

    Personally Orsinium solo arena was terribly done, cheapy one shot mechanics and frustrating gameplay to push people to the crown store for exp scrolls for more easier time of it with CP or repair kits because people will need to repair a lot and waste gold.

    Orsinium lacked heavily in multiplayer content...for an MMO thats terrible, no trials, no dungeons nothing, that was Orsiniums biggest weakness. Lack of group content. World boss's spamming skills in groups is not group content.

    Having skills even if passive locked behind DLC is pathetic and they should be ashamed of that.

    Thieves Guild DLC only has ONE trial? ONE, that is terrible, so again another solo DLC that lacks hugely in group content. This is frankly unacceptable for an MMO, sick of solo content. There is too much of it. WAY TOO MUCH SOLO CONTENT.

    And again, no upscaling or VR16 boosted or updates to VR16 for Vet DSA, Craglorn, or any of the trails at VR14.....

    Also dungeons are dropping VR14 gear at VR16....

    So to be honest I am heavily disappointed with the Thieves Guild DLC and its not even out yet, now if they still have not fixed crashes, bugs, pvp lag, balance, skills etc etc

    Then I wont even buy it. I am done at that point. If they keep designing content around pushing sales in the crown store with cheap mechanics and game design to push their sales of certain items....then im done with this game.

    If I wanted that kind of trashy game I would play GW2.

    I personally think the Thieves guild and Dark Brotherhood should have been the first two dlcs, because this pretty much means that the PvP community isn't getting any new content for 3 dlcs, and the last content we got was just smaller Cyrodil with no buildings.

    One trial is still lacking heavily in group content, one is not enough, especially since we have no ETA on veteran rank removal and VR14 trials are not updated to VR16.....

    So im calling it a solo DLC, one trial does not suddenly make it a group content DLC....sorry it does not.

    ZoS can't seem to do their job not having The Thieves Guild and The Dark Brotherhood at the start alone with bugged classes not just some powers but whole classes.

    All of this shows just how rushed out the door the game was. After some what fixing classes they add a system that forces them to cut Damage, Healing, and Shield in half. They have too many knee jerk reactions, blankets Nerfs and double nerfs.

    Balancing a game is much easier when you don't have thousands of people used to powers and passives. They should have tested more and released a fully baked game not the close enough buggy mess that it is.

    From a hardcore TES fanboy I easily have thousands in memorabilia and custom made Argonian cosplay costumes. They rushed it and it shows.

    Yeah i see you point and i get why you angry at ZOS at what you call is a lazy job, and that it is a rushed game.. and yay it may been, but i cant say they are being lazy, for i can still remember before Cragalon came, and the where way more bugs and crashes and lags in pvp and pve. can remember this one time where a WB wasent spawning and a lot people came around and waited since i told them to wait and said the boss will come.. foolish hope xD haha more then fiften people waited over a half a hour.. and still no boss, then i looked it up online, and found out that the WB was broken... haha people got pissed! haha, but my point is.. compare to how the game was and how it is now, i have to say they have done a great job! and yay haters gonna hate and yet they are the one who play more then us xD so yeah the game was rushed since people kept nagging for a realeas date. and it have been a lot of hate but still they are fighting thru, and i am glad that a new solo DLC is coming for tho the game isint as great as Skyrim in roleplaying and imers and isint so great in MMO as WOW (never played it, but know ppl love it) i still love ESO and Tamirel and i know this, the game will only get better and maybe not a WOW killer but in time it will shine and i think it will shine brighter that WOW but not the Elder Scroll series that it will never be able to do xD

    and to those who who dont like that ppl who have ESO membership will get the DLC free and a skill line that others dont, stop crying get this thru you head, this World is not free you got to work hard to make a living, and when ppl take their time to make such a game as this, they should get paid for this, for i atleast dont mind paying a small amount of money so that i can enoy and have fun inside a game ! and what i asked about in the first place was how you feel about the DLC not how you hate everything in this game @Troneon

    but really arent any of you guys exsated for the Thieves Guild ? for i cant wait, only thing i didit like was that is in Hammerfell and not in Velenwood or Elsweyr

    I don't like that I must be a thief... There should be two story lines. One where you are a thief and one where you are part of the Iron Wheel fighting against the Thieves Guild.

    As it stands now... I'm on the fence. My Thief character is like level 9... meaning... I don't really play that character.

    Nothing I really didn't expect, but I liked it I guess.

    I mean, I'm really interested in the story, so it is good that it didn't spoil it, so there's that. The camel mount looks ok too, although I'm not going to buy it (doesn't really fit any of my characters).
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    Zenimax didn't surprise me by (apparently) limiting the new DLC to the law-breaking side of the story, but it is nevertheless a bad move on their part for the (seemingly) large minority of players who would rather be playing on the side of the law. This is especially ridiculous considering they even added a faction fighting against the Thieves Guild that "law-and-order" players could have joined instead.

    For us, this DLC is essentially useless, and I certainly will not bother spending anything on it. Hopefully that's something that Zenimax will take into account for the Dark Brotherhood DLC (though I won't hold my breath).
