Horns of the Reach - Is it even worth it? It's not even a DLC...

So I'm wondering if HOTR is even worth purchasing... 2 dungeons? That's it? That's all you get for the £15...
Seems ridiculous as in other games "DLC" Meant a whole new area, new quests/storyline(s) and various other things... This just seems... meh.
I don't understand how you can class it as a "DLC" when there is literally 2 extra things in it... for £10 or whatever... put some more effort into it. Add a new trial. More dungeons. More loot. A new area with new storyline(s).
Morrowind was like £40 or something and I don't even feel like that money was well spent. I'm fed up with the lack of content.
Is anyone else? What are your thoughts?
Would be nice for Zos to comment on this to be honest as I want to know the thought behind releasing just 2 dungeons (and a BG mode... which doesn't really benefit *everybody*).

WhoSlappedThePie✭✭✭I left that out, because it's pathetic.
This is seriously weak for developers to bring out this cheap content and make a ton off of it.
...Put some effort into your DLCs.
These posts are pretty pointless in a way because Zos won't comment on it. I don't know why more people aren't kicking off. If everybody put their two cents into this post maybe zos would be forced to respond."It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop."

This is actually the average price for a map pack in normal games, or you know, you could just sub?1 -

✭✭The definition of a "DLC" is relevant. For many people HotR is a DLC for sure because they will spend much time in the new dungeons if they like them (pretty much as I do with regard to the SotH dungeons in which I have spent more time than in TG and DB combined).
As for the HotR itself, I think ZOS shot itself in the foot with the difficulty. Less skilled players/PUGs still struggle to complete them on vet or already avoid them while for more skilled players the dungeons are boring as hell and too easy and they will be also avoiding these.
That is why we need a third tier of difficulty (the hardest one) to give everyone a toy to play.0 -

✭2 dungeons and balance patch etc. Dungeons are worth it - more content, especially of you wanna get the achievements.
Morrowind is the only dlc we should *** talk tbh.Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 25 DLCs. 41 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game.0 -
WhoSlappedThePie✭✭✭I just think people are accepting little work from a DLC. That's all :P if you're fine with just 2 dungeons that you can complete in an afternoon from a DLC then thats fine.
The balancing patch should not be monetised? Why should that come into the argument? If the games broken or needs balancing then that comes in an unpaid patch."It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop."

✭✭✭✭✭Yes, I feel the same way about Shadow of the Hist, which I am normally mispelling purposefully as Shadow of the ***. However, with the crown sale I would argue that 4 dungeons are worth the money and now I am glad I didn't buy them until now. (I also tried them with ESO+ first, so I know that they are not as crappy as I thought they were)
Also their new annual schedule includes these "*** DLCs" because they are easy to make. They have planned to release one major free update (like Housing), a chapter (like Morrowind), a small DLC (like HotR and SotH) and a large DLC (like Thieves guild or Dark Brotherhood) each year from now on.Edited by Ratzkifal on August 31, 2017 9:41AMThis Bosmer was tortured to death.

✭✭Didn't buy it, not planning to do that in the future.
Upcoming DLC include a 12-man trial, saving crowns for that one.0 -
