wolf486✭✭✭✭Yeah right now cost is what has me questioning this chapter. ESO is already the most expensive game I own, however Cyberpunk and the new Obsidian game are really the only ones I am looking forward to this yearPC/NAMoved onto BDO and GW2 Skyrim, ATS/ETS2, ACNH and the overall goodness of single player games

Damn, didn't know it was that expensive for you guys. And at least for Canada, its a bit more expensive here compared to the US, which is how I usually compare it.(MC) Main DPS: Redz Kuinn - Lvl 50 - MagSorc - PvE

martygod12✭✭✭✭I think you really need to reconsider the cost of these DLC. It's almost the full price of a new game. You have Anthem and BDX right on the horizon that cost $59. This costs $39. The question I ask myself is do I spend $40 on a DLC or $60 on a full NEW game. On top of that, if you buy the collectors ed (not upgrade), you are giving all the collector content in one bundle which is a great value but at the same time dumping on your most valuable customers that buy early and often. It kinda feels like a slap in the face. I've bought every collectors edition of everything to this point. Spent maybe around $500 (not including sub fees). Now, someone new that may or may NOT be a continuing customer can get everything I have for what, $60? I think this may be the first one I sit out. Maybe wait until it is on sale for $10 or something. The pre-order items aren't anything special nor are the collectors items. Treasure maps literally just take up space in my bank. XP scrolls? Really? I think I have close to 100 of those now. The mounts...maybe if they weren't just a reskin of existing mounts. A single loot crate? Try 15 and maybe. The outfits are the only thing that I think are unique and may be worth something.
And let's re-discuss this whole chapter vs DLC thing. I will admit that the chapter is more than a DLC but much less than an expansion. If you really wanted to make this valuable, the chapter would include all the content for that chapter...all the future DLC for that year. That would add value. That is the direction DLC is moving towards now anyway. Season Passes USED to mean you get all the future DLC. Now they use words like Year 1 content, etc. The whole thing is just turning me off to be honest. So I this will be the first one I sit out which is a shame because it looks cooler than the past DLC.
Yeah i agree 40$ Is was too much thats why i ll do the same as i did with summerset And that is to wait 7-8 months after release and get it for like 10$0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Easy decision for me also.
I dont watch much TV any more. This is one of my main hobbies, especially in the winter so the entertainment value is pennies per hour for me.
I pre-ordered the CE upgrade already and I am looking forward to travelling to ElswyerBeta tester November 20130 -

(Yes, I tend to translate any price into beer. Yes, it's a weird habit.)
But at least ESO doesn't ruin my liver, right?
No value for me

✭✭As I said in the preorder thread, just wait a month for the first time it goes on sale or half a year by which point its half the price.
Well you know this is going to be good. Considering the way AAA multiplayer online games have been recently there is big chance Anthem is a dud I don't even know what BDX is.
Although games like cyberpunk 2077 and outer worlds look good but those are single player games

Zathras✭✭✭✭✭I don't mind paying a box price for a new chapter. I support the game, and they need funding to keep making new content.
What I do not like, is them pricing a motif for the price of a CE box, or a house for double that price. THAT is gouging.For a moment, nothing happened. Then, after a second or so, nothing continued to happen. - Douglas Adams
It is a rare mind indeed that can render the hitherto non-existent blindingly obvious. The cry 'I could have thought of that' is a very popular and misleading one, for the fact is that they didn't, and a very significant and revealing fact it is too. - Douglas Adams0 -

ESO chapter is still cheaper than Everquest II (and probably Everquest I) expansions from the end of last year.
ESO is a little on the high side in my opinion, but not more than grumble under the breath higher than I would like.
Sweet Jesus is this game still on life support? After the debacle of EQNEXT and the sell off of the franchise to the real estate company I left my 7 years of invested time and love for all things EQ/EQ2 and never came back.
Well if you are still playing it happy days I guess.0 -

LOL what?
A Chapter has story content for roughly 10 (when you're not playing walking simulator) hours. On top of that one or two new features and QoL updates.
Compared to EVERY (!) other MMORPG's expansions ESO Chapters are content-wise a joke.MLGProPlayer wrote: »It's 30 hours of content. Most AAA games don't even have 15 hours of content.
Which Chapter had 30 hours of content? Yeah, none of them. Even 20 hours is more than a stretch, maybe if you count the DLCs on top of the usual Chapter content.
Neither Morrowind nor Summerset take more than 10 hours to finish (and I'm reading / listening to all the dialogues btw).Edited by Seraphayel on January 16, 2019 7:27PMPS5EUAldmeri Dominion- Khajiit Arcanist -0
