Taternater✭✭✭To those of you saying there's too much solo content, I'd like to point out that in the list of things included in the thieves guild thing, it says "Improvements to grouping including incentives and cross-alliance grouping outside of the Grouping Tool". I don't know what those incentives will be, but apparently there will be something for people to group for.0 -

✭✭Something that allows you to see how many players are in a zone and allianced and allows you to pm them if you want to as well, Basically like people finder in sto neverwinter champions online, age of conan. They need to add this feature. I am hoping thats what they are referring too. Also, maybe they would suprise us and add the abilty to join the rivels, of the theives guild but you would not get to get all the rewards, and the group you joined screwed you over so you side with the thieves guild in the end anyways. I don't know how they are doing it, but I am exicted, well I admit I want dark brotherhood first but thieves guild it is!Edited by Thevampirenight on January 23, 2016 9:05AMPC NA

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.
I agree. They should have. Thing is they likely werent allowed.

From a hardcore TES fanboy I easily have thousands in memorabilia and custom made Argonian cosplay costumes. They rushed it and it shows.
From a hard core TES fan and player myself,from Arena on,while I dont have the costumes,I do have a lot of other memorabilia.It seems that everyone here has their own opinion,and no one agrees often.It doesnt matter how long any of us have loved the TES series,we still are going to disagree.
Which is why I said what I said.
Personally,I dont believe ZOS owes us anything more than the game they gave us.What any of us WANTS isnt what we are OWED. There are a few things I would love to see added to this game,but in no way do I feel I am owed it from the beginning.Also,just because someone crys out for something doesnt mean the game is failing if they dont get it. Truth is,I will probably never see what I think any game using the Elder Scrolls title should have.Vvardenfell.
BUT,..again,..this is my own opinion. Just that. Not a demand,nor thoughts of entitlement.

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.
Also try reading my whole post
WoW pumped out one raid per patch, but people don't scream the patch is anti group content.
That's because WoW is an actual MMO with tons of group content.0 -

Really? I didnt notice any group only content in WoW.Lots of things for everyone to do.Solo or with the others running along beside you.Just nothing that said it was for grouping.0 -
deleted008293✭✭✭✭Since launch ESO didn't had many great content updates. There was a lot of time spent on balancing, stability and for the console launch. Most important of them:
Lower Craglorn - 2 trials
Upper Craglorn - 1 trial
Dyes
Champion Points
Justice
Crypt of Hearts
City of Ash
Imperial City - 2 group dungeons, PVP, more to be added in the future
Orsinium - large solo dungeons, 2 large public dungeons, large and nicely detailed zone with amazing solo quests. Oh and... group world bosses
I think we will get some more great content from now on. Look at the 2 imperial city dungeons, City of Ash one, Orsinium overall. We have absolutely no clue how good or bad Thieves Guild will be. But it will bring one new trial for sure. No clue if just 1 or 2 group dungeons. Or 1 Group 1 Public. Some interesting new mechanics like trespassing. And we will see later.
This year is gonna be HUGE for ESO. First Thieves Guild. Then Brotherhood Guild. 2 of the most iconic guilds from Elder Scrolls Series. Housing. Barber Shop. 2 more DLCs out of Clockwork City, Mephala's Realm, Murkmire. Lots of small fixes here and there. Not to forgot about the 64 bit client.
This game was a solo RPG before and a very large fan base come there for that. PvP is also there. Multiplayer aka Group content is there too but I have to admit... not that much. Still just give it time.
Speaking about group stuff, with Dark Brotherhood we "might" get 4 more veteran dungeons. Maybe it isn't much but its still something. In the future things might take some more time to complete too. City of Ash, Imperial City Prison and Gold Tower were quite long.
What else a ESO might need for the MMO part? Dueling, small PvP arenas, perhaps a Guild House or Auction House.

deleted008293✭✭✭✭Now speaking about TG only. This new area looks much smaller than a normal zone. Am I wrong? Maybe we could travel to other surrounding Isles as well? Maybe it will feature some large multi level gameplay? Huge dungeons? What do you think?0

Lenikus✭✭✭✭✭... If all these 'critics' made blogs for themselves and left the forums for real discussions things would be way quieter in here, i'm sure... lol
Either way, Thieves guild will of couse be PvE focused, and not at all a 'group dlc', because just like the Dark Brotherhood, it's meant to catter to the RP / Casual gamer part.
Us hardcore players are content with vet maelstrom the way it is, and we are content with PvP the way it is. So Zeni has no need to prioritize any of that. (Hey, we're all still playing, right ? so we must by definition still enjoy this)... Mai cave. >:34 -

✭Would it hurt if you add a 'in my opinion'? That way you would be acknowledging us, you know, the players who actually play and enjoy the game.
The thing I learned in life is that only a constructive criticism done with the best intentions, addressed to the RIGHT people can be considered valuable. Everything else is just a rude, frustrated, downright pitiful noise and idle talk of people who are usually unable to lead their own lives properly, let alone create something beautiful and new.2 -

Aoife32001✭✭✭✭Wow people are really disliking the fact that zenimax is adding a thieves guild. [snip] is going on seriously guys.
I don't dislike the fact that they're adding it. I dislike the fact that it seems they're releasing it in such a way that I either have to be a member of the Thieves Guild or I essentially get nothing.
I have always played the same type of character in TES, and if Zenimax had bothered trying to follow the TES tradition with any degree of success, they would have realized that by releasing the next two DLCs with an exclusive focus on Thieves Guild / Dark Brotherhood membership, they are moving much more closely toward a scripted character storyline rather than an open-story world.
Apart from the main quest line (which has to be scripted to a large degree), TES has always had an open world where, if I wanted, I could be a thief or a Dark Brotherhood assassin, but I could also chose to fight or ignore those factions without significant loss of gameplay. Here, Zenimax is serving up the next half-year's worth of DLCs to only one side of the PvE community, which makes no sense when it could easily have made more money by incorporating two factions--one law/aedra oriented, and one lawbreaking/daedra-oriented--into each DLC.
Just like when they added the "justice system", to the complete abandonment of the "justice" side of the system. If my choice is scripting my character into a fixed path (again, apart from the main quest) or de facto getting little-to-no content for the next 6-8 months, I'll go play something else.

RazielSR✭✭✭✭✭[snip] WTH more do you want people? THIEVES GUILD IS AWESOME. In TES games you can join or not. Do the same here,buy the dlc or not. This is an amazing dlc and DB is gonna be even better. Maybe it would be cool to join the antithieves guild but well...In TES games you cant and NOBODY blames.
And this is coming from a TES FAN who is playing ESO because of TES and just waiting for TESVI.
