One Tamriel is going to cause so many bugs to an already buggy game and patch problems (see the last 4 patches), Zeni does not have the technical ability to create a patch / update or create DLC at the moment.

The saddest part is that I was really excited for One Tamriel.

Now, my friends of other factions are quitting because of the boxes, so it doesn't matter anymore.

We can all find a new MMO

Why would you quit for the boxes? Not even knowing how exactly they'll work, what will be and won't be locked behind them.
Honest question.

I am super excited for OT, and update 12.

The only thing I oppose is the lockboxes. That is nothing more than unapologetic money grabbing no matter how its spun.

What are lockboxes? Is this selling top gear for crowns?

No, they are purely cosmetic.

I can't understad why people are hating on eso because of it. Really.

That's all? Sounds insignificant. All of the cosmetic stuff is a money grab. Whatever.

Clearly you never played SWtOR, or you would know that it very well can affect every player, regardless of whether they buy the boxes or not. What happens is that eventually all the best stuff gets put into the gambling boxes, while in-game and direct purchase stuff just gets crap. So far, ZOS is claiming that these are "purely cosmetic", but that may change, and some of us will be keeping a close eye on that to guide our decisions (they are already edging a bit over the line, as "potions, upgrades, XP scrolls, etc." are hardly "purely cosmetic").

Bottom line, if you think that real-money RNG boxes won't affect your gameplay just because you don't buy any, think again.

Nope.

I can't *stand* the way the DLC zones handle gathering (they basically force you to invest in crafting skills just so you can gather level-appropriate material without having more than 50% of it be level 1 drek).

I also like being able to outlevel the zones I'm currently leveling in so that I can speed up the process, because despite what several loud-mouthed sycophants on message forums say, leveling is a boring chore. And even if you enjoy questing, as I do, it gets old really quickly. To the point where you just zoom past the dialogue so you can move on and get it over and done with.

Dueling is also the single most stupid thing you can add to a game like this. If you want to PVP, then go PVP. Dueling is for ***.

Considering that two out of those three are things that are going to affect each and every player, then yeah... definitely "No, I am not excited for it at all."

Aside from the lootboxes, I think this update sounds incredible! I'm so excited for the One Tamriel. At first, I was bummed out b/c I kept hearing "levels won't matter." To me, my favorite thing to do in a MMO is to level. I love that since it's progression and reward, as well as climbing up that level ladder to the skills of my build. That reward in seeing how much easier it is to kill things than it was 10 levels ago is such a thrill to me.

However, I realized MMO changed what levels used to mean to the classic RPG. Levels were strictly what allowed you to kill the boss or not. The STORY was what progressed you through the game. MMOs put progression solely on levels. Now, we get to take it back to the oldschool RPG days. The story will dictate where you go (if you want to follow it that way) and levels just hold you back regarding those boss fights.

I'm really excited about this

Dueling is pretty neat. I loved the option of doing this back in WoW. I don't know how much dueling I'll be doing considering I don't play much DPS and my Healer hits as hard as a wet noodle, but it'll be fun to be able to be able to have that option.

I voted nope because I can't get interested in ESO because of all the crashes and canceled my ESO+. So I don't know what is going on. I had a itch for ESO but the crashes to desktop for over 2 days left a sour taste in my mouth. So if that is not fixed I can't get excited for anything Zenimax does.

Also what is this dueling?

I have two problems with your post:

1. Since when do race and gender not exist in real life? Like it or not, you are born one way, and that's how you are.

2. It's spelled TAMRIEL!

Race and gender are social constructs. Concerning "races", we do have ethnic groups or ethnicities. But no, there is not biologic races in human kind. Phenotypical traits doesn't define "races".

Gender is also social construct and you can actually dress yourself and behavior like the opposite gender anytime you want, a lot of democractic countries also allows you officially change it btw. There is also many culture that recognizes more than 2 genders.

You do born with allosomes and indeed stay with them for the rest of your life. But gender and the features of your ethnic groups are social constructs and you learn them.

The gender you are born with is the gender you die with. You can modify yourself to appear like another gender however if you were born male and modified to female you will never be able to carry a child inside of you, that is not a social construct that is a fact.

There you go, if all gender was is a "social construct", and that therefore we were all "equal" then wouldn't it also make sense for everyone to be able to reproduce with anyone? But that isn't the case, we are born in two clearly defined ways. The idea that gender does not exist is a social construct.

Oh dear, I don't wish to get too far into this, but I urge you to do some light reading on this. I don't think you know what gender actually means. But to give you a few quick notes here, I think you are trying to talk about "sex". But even going far into this matter causes issues, as we are assigned our "sex" at birth. Most of us don't even know our chromosomes nor do we ever find out and hormonal levels change and can be manipulated. I mean really just take a look at what's going on with Caster Semenya. And to further poke holes in what you said, some men are sterile, so...they don't get to call themselves male?

Anyway, gender = gender identity = what you in your mind personally identify and interpret yourself to be.

With that logic;
I am now female

Nope never mind I wanna be male again, any ladies interested?

Nah never mind males are boring, I am now female again.

Oh look I'm a male now.

And yet..... Nothing changed whatsoever throughout all that. It doesn't matter how much I say I'm a female, I will always be a male. I was born that way, I have male parts, I think like a male, I kept the same number/kind of chromosomes, etc.
What I think in my mind does not change the true reality of things.

ABSOLUTELY... 100% ... if zos decides to do something different from what they are doing with this now, then everyone will see that what they are doing now is bad because later they did something different!

its so obvious.
