We don't need this so to turn into WoW or TERA, just give the us the lorefriendly native mounts of various areas.

Nothing about mudcrab mounts is against the lore, especially since this is way in the past compared to other TES games, there very likely could have been giant crabs in this era. Although I'm sure it will be a wolf.

No.

Isn't Kvatch's seal a wolf?

I want a dire wolf mount.

The temptation is just to great, so today will be spent upgrading my PC to Win10, getting the PTS installed and hoping for the best. I get to be the guinea pig

Minotaur looks like a polymorph. Look at the legs.

Vaoh · April 2016

That motif concept art..... I'm excited

This one just saw it on Twitter. Shame they don't seem to be streaming this event. Khajiit knows they will youtube it afterwards but by then all the info will have gradually dripped out anyway.

This one corrected it for khajiit.

SantieClaws · April 2016

That post was done by my human. Occasionally this one lets her post things if this one is too sleepy or busy trying to wash somewhere awkward.

Khajiit thanks you though for your translation for our kind.

YES. It is no longer, "No ETA"!

Now I want to know if the giant crab that made up Skar is walking around alive at this point in history...

That new Imperial Light and Medium look awesome. The old Imperial Heavy always looked pretty good though.

Maybe, but it's still muted. I wonder if a lot of folks haven't seen this thread yet. Only one of them about it. And with no YouTube of PAXEast, no Twitch, one tweet, etc, and no banner on the top of the forums about it, maybe people just don't know..

(c'mon, I left that hanging)

@ZOS_GinaBruno Are you no longer alternating between severs? TG was NA first? Souldn't DB be EU first?

As an NA player, I would be thrilled if they let EU go first every other time. T-H-R-I-L-L-E-D.

By the time they get the few bugs fixed that they are going to fix on PTS, they cycle NA off and I have to use a template character.

While they do get to invent the lore they need, I doubt it will be a "WoW mount". It will probably be a mount related to the Gold Coast, or one of the surrounding areas. It will be a common creature, like the horse, guar, bear, senche, and camel mounts that already exist in the game, or a magical variation thereof. I seriously do not think wolves, dogs, sheep, goats, cows, chickens, or mudcrabs will make any mount lists. It could even be a welwa, although I would think that to be strange running around the city.

They do like to promote costumes and hint that they are part of the game, not the Crown Store. In this case, Oblivion (the game) came with Minotaurs in the Gold Coast area. A special one would make a fitting world boss and normal ones would make good packs of mobs in dungeons and in the wild. Sadly, it is probably a costume/polymorph for 2500 Crowns.

Not really. Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.

olsborg · April 2016

What I dont get, is why do they bother releasing more and more new sets without touching the multitude of old sets sitting outdated within the game, to name a few: Warlock, Fiords Legacy, Skirmishers Bite, Shadow Walker, Ravager, Morag Tong, Way of the Air. (mostly naming stam sets since thats what they seem to be working on new ones for DB DLC)

Like you said they are outdated but will see what they do with theme in this next update.

I'm going to hold out hope that they give us a quest or three involving Minotaur culture.

Recremen · April 2016

Dear gods all that concept art looks gorgeous. Super neat art direction for this, and I love the use of color. If there's one thing the ESO crew knows how to do, it's use blue.

I'm just guessing here, but the Dark Brotherhood armor looks like the one(s) they'll release with the DLC, and the Imperial and Minotaur armor are probably going to be the ones they save for daily quest rewards upon the 3rd DLC launch, like what they did with Wrothgar. I'm kiiiiiiind of hoping they don't, and they let us play with our new toys as soon as they're out, but eh, at least we get them at some point. :-)

Dissentinel · April 2016

Some more answers I remember from the panels:
- Poisons will have their own slot with a certain finite number of uses.
- Target dummies will come in with player housing
- It sounds as though with the DB update, players will be rewarded 10 Champion Points per Veteran Rank they have accumulated. Champion Point 160 Armor will be the equivalent of VR16 armor.
- White-Gold Tower and Imperial City Prison will be seeing some nerfs, though the Dungeon Lead assured me they will still be difficult
- The Blade of Woe is an item that will be obtainable with the Dark Brotherhood DLC. With it, players will recieve a synergy option to do a cool execution animation when assassinating their victims
- Some old, fan-favorite characters from previous questlines will be making reappearances in the Dark Brotherhood questline... But I won't say anything more than that.
- I think this was already said, but the Dark Brotherhood update will be coming to the PTS tomorrow!

I had assumed these were being filmed live and didn't write anything down, but I'll make another post as I remember things

Me too!

Also, I am hoping for at least one Minotaur ally. Fingers crossed!
