One Tamriel is great for people who care about grouping in various zones. I don't. I find grouping in quests distracting.

If they haven't announced more DLC by now, I'm skeptical there will be any Q3. That is a major fail. Emphasizes how sketchy subbing is as new content isn't even guaranteed. But there are still 4 months before Q3 ends.

I am honestly curious why they felt the need to be so late in the evening considering theyre on the West Coast on a Sunday.

I mean, since it is at E3 they probably didn't have complete control over when they could do it. Its not like they had a decision to do the stream whenever they want, they have other schedules to work around...

E3 hasnt actually officially started until tomorrow. Both EA and Bethesda decided to make their announcements a day earlier than everyone else.

Dooommmmm games going to die soon with that 7 million players.

I'll update my OP tomorrow (it's 4am here) with an up-to-date on all news regarding ESO It doesn't seem like much was announced? One Tamriel is great, but nothing new as far as content (DLC was already known). Maybe at Quakecon

Why do you think they just had a massive sale on the base game? I would wager that sometime next year the game goes free to play.

Subbing is worthwhile at this point, with all the DLC stuff and the crafting bag. I'll be honest... just the crafting bag is enough to make me sub. Hopefully they start making more and investing more back into the game.

Less barriers is always good and for sure that will appeal to new players.

One Tamriel was really needed due to TG and DB dailies. If they want to send people to various zones to do dailies, people need to not get one-shotted. That means scaling.

They gave very few details on it. Sounds to me like everyone will be battled leveled to the level of the zone they're in. Or all zones will be the same level and everybody will be battle leveled to that level. Something like that.

I don't remember seeing anything that suggested everything will be cross faction, but I could've missed it. Would make a lot of sense given the name "One Tamriel".

Now the real question becomes, is this where they've decided they're giving up on PVP and turning Cyrodiil into a strictly PVE zone?

Yeah, I didn't hear cross-faction either. If true, that would be great!

With One Tamriel, we are opening up the entire playable world to everyone, no matter their level. This is a pretty big deal. One Tamriel makes the game much more grouping and social-friendly, as the player base will no longer be divided into thirds and also won't be divided by player level. The reasons we are doing this are simple: we want to make it easier for ESO players to group together, and to promote the sense of freedom to explore that Elder Scrolls games are known for. In other words, we're bringing the same auto-leveling system (called “battle leveling") that has been so successful in our DLCs to the entire game.

Here are the basics:

Characters will have their level scaled the same way that we currently scale players to the level of DLC zones (Imperial City, Orsinium, Thieves Guild, and Dark Brotherhood).
You will be able to explore the entire world in any sequence you wish - just walk across the world and you will always find appropriately leveled content.
You will be able to play and group with anyone in the game at any time (outside of PvP). No longer will you have to create a lower level character to play with a friend who has just joined the game. You will be able to group and adventure together from the moment your friend emerges from the tutorial.
We are dropping all PvE Alliance restrictions. You will be free to explore of all Tamriel, including other Alliances. It is up to you how you want to role-play your character while doing this. “Silver" and “gold" versions of zones will be replaced by Cadwell quest storylines that you can do in any order you wish.
Alliance restrictions will still be enforced in all PvP areas, of course. One Tamriel will not affect the PvP systems in Cyrodiil.
In general, higher level players will be the same “level" as lower level players, but they will have far more tools in their arsenal: better gear, more abilities, and of course more Champion points.
We will adjust gear rewards to scale appropriately to make sure that there is always a way to get more powerful via crafting, questing, PvP, and dungeon/trial boss loot drops.
All Trials and Dungeons will continue with standard and Veteran difficulty modes, and you will have to be Veteran level to play veteran dungeon modes.
The Coldharbour zone will be “roped off" from players who have not yet completed the quests that lead there. However, if you are invited to a group that is already there, or travel to a friend who is there, you can immediately access the zone.

We're really proud of the changes, updates, and content we've added to The Elder Scrolls Online over the last year plus, and to be able to welcome millions of new players to Tamriel has been incredibly rewarding and makes the game that much better. We're thankful for all of you for playing and helping us make ESO better every day.

We will have much more information about upcoming updates and One Tamriel over the course of the summer and into the fall. Please stay tuned for more details, and until then, see you in Tamriel!

Matt

Relax, we're not even out of Q2 yet. They have until the end of September, meaning it doesn't even have to hit PTS until August. Ever since they'd announced that they would release a new DLC every quarter, they've released a new DLC every quarter, there's really no reason to believe they aren't going to. They could probably wait until QuakeCon to announce it if they wanted to. In the past they've typically announced the next DLC about a month before its release, I wouldn't be surprised to see the same this time.

Yes, they have delivered every quarter. But we also knew well in advance what was coming each quarter. We already knew DB would follow TG before TG came out because they told us about changes that would arrive with DB.

Will One Tamriel mean that my cp160+ characters will get cp160 gear in treasure map chests in every zone? Or will gear still be low level in low level zones? The same question applies to recipes and motifs, though these would be better left as is while gear would be better scaled.

I just seen a white wolf on the trailer. Sqeeee.

Kind of regretting buying the other now. lol.

Sounds like everything scales to you.
