    Yup i would ive been waiting for this part of the game since the whole "gates of sotha sils city open" line from varen.


    With all the yes votes so far, kinda shows that jewlery crafting doesnt need to be behind the paywall for people to the expansion, oh sorry "chapter".
    Ah, e-communities - the "pinnacle" of the internet............yeah, right.

    No. Overland content is so easy that I hate when they try to sell us on a whole new area. We don't need a new place to experience really easy content - it's such a waste. I wish they'd take a chapter to make overland more fun and less of a snorefest.

    "Yes, cause reasons" is so general it could encompass a whole range of feelings on the value of Summerset with or without jewelrycrafting as a feature tied to it. I think it is slightly disingenuous to use it to advocate jewelrycrafting as a base game feature as the when and how portions of "buying" aren't specified.

    For instance, responses that fall under "Yes, cause reasons" could fall under the range of
    a) love the zone, support the devs, preorder anyways, collectors edition/physical edition to boot,
    b) no preorder but buy at launch once all information about the other content has been released and tested,
    c) buy months down the line after release when the price of Summerset has gone down,
    d) or technically getting it for "free" with the next chapter.
    These scenarios could represent the perceived worth of Summerset with said change.
    One could say the original point was that buying it is still buying it. However I say this is an inaccurate gauge of support for the position OP is obviously suggesting, like the inverse situation of those who wanted jewelry crafting to be base game but have bought or will buy summerset anyways.

    As for my own standing, I have preordered Summerset and would have if jewelrycrafting wasn't tied to it, but only because I am a massive sucker for almost anything Altmer and Dunmer themed. There are people out there who hate Altmer themed stuff or find overland content unsatisfying. My satisfaction with the cost and value of the chapter would be negatively impacted if the only other feature apart from what normally comes with new zones is a skill line.

    Therefore, yeah would buy, but because theme of the chapter resonates with me. Whether jewelrycrafting is tied to it would be a "is or is not" thing from the announcement beginning, not because I hope the current position will change. Do not consider my statements an endorsement of unlinking jewelrycrafting from the chapter to be rolled into the base game update.

    Nope, I don't approve the new ''Trial'' and even with JWLcraft i'm not sure to buy it.
    Maybe when it'll be free with the next chapter.
    Or when it'll cost €15 on a key shop.

    Yes. Though I would expect something else in it's stead if the price remains the same, as it is a pretty big feature of the chapter and the deal becomes quite a bit more meager without it. And i would be way less happy with the deal, feeling i will not get my money's worth.

    So, at least as far as I am concerned, this poll is meaningless to use as evidence jewel crafting might just as well be given away for free, added to the base game because most people would not mind if it is taken out and it would not influence their buying.

    It remains to be seen with the PTS. If the new trial is an AS II like it seems, and the impression overall is weak then i won't buy either with or without jewellery crafting. It somehow doesn't give me even half of the hype i got from Morrowind.

    I will buy each chapter on principle of supporting the game if there is something in it for me. Summerset was a borderline case.

    I cant keep up with the PvE and am not interested in AD storylines as a loyal Pact player. That said i didn't play Morrowind i got it for BG.

    The only two DLC worth it purely for content doe me are Imp Coty and Orsinium.

    Is Sunmerset didn't have something for me at all i wouldn't have bought it.

    ZOS are 100% right to lock jewelry crafting in with the chapter in my view.

    Count me in. Already thought about removing CP and sets to have at least some kind of experience.

    In general that's the reason I'm barely interested in PvE anymore. So no, I'd pass this Chapter if it had no other perks.

    Yes. I like ESO and liked supporting the devs and playing content. I even preordered the collectors edition before jewelry crafting was a known part.

    Thankfully they made Jewelry selling a part of it, just like selling sets. But the hypermonetization is a turn off so I may end up cancelling. I feel like they are just putting in balance related changes like psijic or JC to make up from the actual zone/content lacking. Similar to morrowind, though the BGs alone were worth it.

    I am not suggesting a damn thing but I'll edit the first post to remove my view to make sure it doesn't look like I'm suggesting anything with that post.

    I made the poll the way I did because I didn't want 5 yes votes with 5 different reasons and 3 no votes with 3 different reasons. I also didnt want to assume I know all the reasons why or why not by adding specific choices. I was bound to miss one or several.

    This is the best way to make it unbiased. People can then explain why or why not if they choose to.

    New Trial. If that new Trial wasn't in Sumerset alongside Jewellery Crafting, then no, I would not purchase it.
    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.

    Isn't that basically an argument against locking JC? They cannot make extra legitimate interesting content for the PvPers like BGs, so they shove jewelry crafting or psjic to force you to buy, even if you don't like the main zone.

    I voted no because I've enough on my plate that, without JC, Summerset is just another expansion.

    Despite my absolute hatred of preordering, I may do so this weekend because I get a bunch of stuff, including Morrowind.

    Two expansions for 50% off each.

    Ok now that I've edited the first post to remove the appearance of any bias or agenda.

    I would still buy it because I love the game and love new maps and content. The money spent compared to the time spent is pennies per hour for me so it's cheap entertainment.
