Favorite Feature: - Costume dyes ESO+ style
Don't like: - lack of content for the style parlor
Dungeons - not interested in group dungeons
Style Parlor - no idea, if they would have added content to it, I could tell, but ZOS failed to deliver
Costume Dye - great in ESO+, as dye stamps questionable

My complain with this update is lack of content for the new style parlor and too less new costumes coming up in the crown store - they remove items from the crown store but don't give us enough new ones - there is literally nothing to buy for me

Garldeen · August 2016

Underwhelming. What was broken before remains broken. What is new is, in part, also broken.

susmitds · August 2016

Shadow of the Hist DLC - Overpriced
Update 11 / Base Game Patch - Badass!

TheHsN · August 2016

What is your favourite feature?
Dungeons Designs

What do you don't like?
Still nothing about BALANCE

How do you like the Dungeons?
They are fun cuz they are new

How do you like the Style Parlour?
not interested

How do you like the costume dyes?
not interested

I care more about - Balance , Combat system, lag and bugs ..And Playable CONTENT

Darius771 · August 2016

one of the few things that worked was the group tool (not the finder because this worked day in and day out, but the normal invite), so now even that works.

I do not think rewarding implement one or two content and break the rest. ESSENTIALLY BASIC TOOLS like group tools.

Ghost-Shot · August 2016

I feel like they needed to deliver a better update so close to the Legion launch.

Dracane · August 2016

Besides the stat "fix"/nerf, it's a great update and it adds many very important things !

What is your favourite feature? Costume dye

What do you don't like? I like everything. I rather dislike what we didn't get (class and ability changes. I know there weren't supposed to be any with this update. But we desperately need them.)

How do you like the Dungeons? They are alright. But like most dungeons, nothing I would play because I enjoy the environment or fights or where I say "Oh, this was amazing, i need to do this again". Only for gear and gold keys.

How do you like the Style Parlour? It's wonderful. But just like the character creation, your character looks 1000 times better than in the actual game. I feel like the style parlou uses different graphic effects and the light is simply too warm and beneficial. Your character will never look so good in reality. They should add an option where I can actually see myself in real gameworld light conditions. (where I will look much uglier)

How do you like the costume dyes? I guess you mean the ones we can buy on the crown store. Why would I bother for premade and mostly ugly color combinations ? I am better off dyeing them on my own. But I guess it's alright for people without achievements. For me however, it is an unecessary feature.

Lysette · August 2016

I think that the launch of other games is not hurting the game at large - the other games are not Elder Scrolls.

d8rmir · August 2016

What is your favourite feature?

New dungeons and updated Dragonstar Arena, I have been waiting for almost one year for new 4-men content.
Nice countermeasures to the awful RNG, as possibility to trade bop items within dungeons and increased drop rate in maelstrom arena.
Race change is a really good feature and many friends really appreciated it (I personally didn't use it).

What do you don't like?

Among the sets that drops in the new dungeons I don't see anything really appealing.
I was expecting something different from the racial passive change, like every bonus being toned down so that race would have less impact and not make a difference as big as it currently does. After all, I think that nothing really changed there, what was best is still best, what was bad is maybe a little less bad but still worse than others.

How do you like the Dungeons?

It is really good to see some challenging 4-men content after so long time. I really like them.

How do you like the Style Parlour? Don't care.
How do you like the costume dyes? Don't care.

itehache · August 2016

What is your favourite feature? The dungeons, by far.

What do you don't like? The lack of game content (only 2 dungeons for a whole new DLC)

How do you like the Dungeons? I have completed them both in normal difficulty and I had so much fun. Some enemies are kinda complex but it is completely doable. At least it is not just standing in a point and dd the boss down. I also really like the new sets, I hope to get them soon.

How do you like the Style Parlour? I love to have the possibility to change our race, appearance and names, but I think they could have added so much stuff...
I guess we will keep getting new updates but the hair pack only gave us the original set (I got tricket by this btw, I thought there were actual new hairs, oh well).
Taking into account that this DLC didnt bring much game content, they could have added way more hairs/face painting/etc to the style parlour, but yet again, I am glad we can now change our character's appearance.

How do you like the costume dyes? I dyed my thieves guild costume and I couldn't be happier. I thought we were going to be able to dye all costumes though, I am talking about those little costumes you get while questing

In general I am happy with the new DLC, but I have to say that if I wasn't a subscriber I would probably not spend the crowns to get it.

Edit for typos but I am sure there are still many. Olé!

Karivaa · August 2016

Is wrothgar fixed?

Nebthet78 · August 2016

What is your favourite feature?
Costume Dyes

What do you not like?
- They didn't put the new hairstyles in with the barbershop.
- Upgraded Vet Trials are just insane hard. Storm Attro was 10million HP on old Vet, and how has 56million HP and damage increase to match. I no longer find them fun to do and therefore has locked out that content for me. I'm not a masochist.

How do you like the Dungeons?
Vet Dungeons. I feel they are a little bit too challenging for the average player and should be dialed back 10% so they remain challenging, but they don't get a total nerf like Vicp and Vwgt did.

How do you like the Style Parlour?
I didn't bother purchasing it because ZOS didn't release the new hairstyles with the DLC so there was no point in purchasing it.

How do you like the costume dyes?
I LOVE the costume dyes, but they do need to work on fixing a few costumes where only 2 of 3 points will actually dye.

Troneon · August 2016

Apart from the actual 2 dungeons for minor amount of group content...I call the rest...

"fluff"...to sell more crap in crown store...

While having nothing but exploits and bugs and a broken group finder again....

Van_0S · August 2016

Pros: New dlc.
Cons: Everything.

FooWasHere · August 2016

What is your favourite feature?
The dungeons! But loot swapping is close and probably wins in the long run.

What do you don't like?
Nothing really. Perhaps that there only were 2 dungeons...

How do you like the Dungeons?
They are great! Interesting mechanics. The cradle has really interesting design. I really like the layout, it feels almost like and original Doom level. You can see into rooms, see the levers you need to pull etc. Ruins of Mazzatum looks really nice and also have interesting group mechanics.

How do you like the Style Parlour?
The idea of making hair styles a part of the collections/appearance was a really good idea. Would have liked some in-game element, like a parlour.

How do you like the costume dyes?
Surprisingly good. I didn't expect it to be as nice as it was. Some costumes went from 'meh' to 'great'.

-Foo

wayfarerx · August 2016

What is your favourite feature? Costume dying is awesome. I stayed up until 3 am Monday just dying costumes for all my characters.
What do you don't like? I think they really missed the boat on putting the style parlor in the character selection menu. I imagine there were technical considerations that made it much easier to do it that way, but they missed an opportunity to add depth to the game world.
How do you like the Dungeons? I have only done RoM so far but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Well designed, challenging, beautiful artwork, cool story, puzzles, mechanics, good stuff.
How do you like the Style Parlour? All I've done is bought the hairstyle pack and (finally) changing some of my hairstyles is really nice.
How do you like the costume dyes? As an ESO+ member it is great, I finally have custom costumes that are not the same as everyone else running around.

Morimizo · August 2016

What is your favorite feature? Costume Dyes (ESO+).

What don't you like?
The exorbitant prices for things like the Name Change in the Crown Store;
The fact that changing ONE thing with the Appearance change is just as expensive as changing EVERYTHING;
Why something like changing hair color should be monetized instead of bought with in-game gold;
No new content/area/alternate dungeon configuration for solo/2 or 3-person teams;
The audio was ruined for the TG questline (among many other bugs/glitches).

How do you like the Dungeons? Group Dungeons are not my favorite aspect of this game due to required 4 participants (and not adaptable to smaller groups like many other MMOs). I feel they were ripped out of the promised "Murkmire" because the whole region was in the style of Craglorn, which has arguably not been the biggest success. There is still value in a group zone for smaller groups in terms of exploration and possible writ and survey destinations, so I wish they would have released an entire zone, even if it was in the style of Craglorn.

How do you like the Style Parlour? Most things are WAY too expensive, and many things that were hyped are not included. The personalities are reasonably priced, and add a lot to the game. The jury is out until ZOS can "fill the shelves" with stock.

How do you like the costume dyes? This is the purchasable dyes? Terribly handled. Would have been much better (for non-ESO+ members) to buy a "session" at the dye station, allowing them to use whatever colors they currently have to dye a currently equipped costume; once a color selection has been chosen and confirmed, they can't dye it again until using another session token. I would have supported selling dyes in the crown store for 50-100 a piece to be unlocked permanently (for ESO+ or not), if they were new.

Vaoh · August 2016

Content: Not much content but definitely awesome stuff.

Costume Dyes: Nicely Done but requiring ESO+ was messed up imo and slightly greedy. Dye stamps are terrible.

Crown Store/Style Parlor: Very disappointing and very greedy.

New Bugs: -_- looking forward to console release....

@Lysette sums up my thoughts about Update 11 pretty well.

In addition: I would have prefered an actual in-game barber shop over what we have now, but I guess crown store is everything now..

Slurg · August 2016

I am enjoying the cheerful personality more than I expected I would.

I did not like logging in to messages that some of my characters' skill points had been refunded and having to hunt for which ones.

I am disappointed the Style Parlor is not an actual place in the game with very basic features available for gold and more upscale new features for crowns.

Potenza · August 2016

A very "thin" DLC - we got two dungeons and three towns to capture in Cyro.

Everything else is for the crown store.

Giraffon · August 2016

This one was more patch than DLC, but I like the additional features that are now available to players even if at a price. At least you have some options that you didn't have before.

Now that Hist Guar...I would liked to have seen something different there. Those blotches don't look natural at all. I would have rather seen that bright yellow blended into his skin a little more. It's too much like paintball the way he is.

Thank you very much for your feedback that I'll use for my next ESO News.

I admit I haven't actually played much of the new content of the DLC but I do really like the new capture-able towns in Cyrodiil. So far they have been pretty good for some small scale combat. So this is my favourite feature (so far!).

Here are my answer's to Elloa's questions...

Cyrodiil capture towns.
The skill point reset message is annoying because I had to search to see what skill points had been reset... with 11 characters!
I haven't ventured into the dungeons yet.
No interest in the style parlour...if my character is too horrible to look at, I will buy/craft them a helmet
No interest in the constume dyes. I don't use costumes.

Alright, I'll feed the ZOS marketing survey-bot pretending to be a player.

Favorite Feature: Malubeth Nerf. And Personalities. Angry Min is even angrier.

What don't I like: More OP Stam sets. No magicka fixes or buffs.

How do you like the dungeons?: VDSA is fun again.

How do you like the style parlor: PVPer does not use.

How do you like the costume dyes: I'm sure the huge fat hairy Orc guys running around Cyrodiil in miniskirts are happy that they can dye them now. I don't care, the costumes are mostly terrible, especially the Breton Hero.

Extremely disappointed. Not much content, and what I wanted to experience I can't.
What is your favourite feature? The ability to trade drops from dungeons is nice.

What do you don't like?
Group finder is broken...again. This is preventing me from doing pledges and experiencing the new dungeons. (I hate having to spam chat).

Don't like the change to top level crafting writs. Spending ~50 rubedite/ruby ash/ancestor silk per writ is too much.

How do you like the Dungeons? See above.

How do you like the Style Parlour? Was not a feature I cared about.

How do you like the costume dyes? Meh.

Tonnopesce · August 2016

[*] What is your favourite feature?
Overall i like the update

[*] What do you don't like?
The new dungeons are a little bit too easy but sadly in line with the "i want no challenge" game that we have now

[*] How do you like the Dungeons?
New mechanics are fun but not "epic"

[*] How do you like the Style Parlour?
It works, but is totally not lore friendly and is lame

[*] How do you like the costume dyes?
You simply dye costumes, what the excitement about this?

What is your favourite feature? No lag in group content so far,race change,updated trials.

What do you don't like? Recovery "fix" and cost of race change tokens.

How do you like the Dungeons? They're challenging, but I think the last boss of RoM has a bug,no pun intended

How do you like the Style Parlour? You mean the return to character selection? Honestly id like more customization if I was going to pay extra crowns to change something.

How do you like the costume dyes? Dyes are the same as I had before,still lacking on true customization and detail for dyeing.

Thank you very much for your feedback that I'll use for my next ESO News.
