Elsweyr - Did you buy the collectors, normal, or not buy at all?

    I always aim for Collector's depending on the price tag. So far prices were OK, so I bought every chapter as a Collector's bundle.

    I don't mind paying a little extra for included cosmetics as long as they come with a reasonable price tag. I also frequently buy cosmetics because a) I enjoy them and b) I consider myself a supporter of the franchise that way. A game needs to sustain itself and if we want to see it around in a couple of years some coin will be spent.

    One thing that angers me though is, that despite the support we show not much is being done about fixing some of the aspects, like server lag, and general bug fixing. A game should not be only about new content. It should be optimised continuously.

    I hope to have consistently high frame rates and play lag free. It's not OK to have decent hardware that struggles with a 5 years old game.

    im a collector.

    And i have a thing for Necromancy across Both Fantasy and RL Mythology.

    Though the recent announcement post on Necromancer "lore" kinda triggers me.

    I preordered the Collectors edition, because I missed all the previous chapters, got Morrowind only a week after release and Summerset when it was on sale in summer - and missed the costumes, mounts and pets that were part of preorder. But I cancelled my eso+ to get Elsweyer - I'm not going to pay twice for eso in the same month - also I'm not playing much during summer.

    I never planned to play Necro but when tested the class on pts I realized that this class has the exact playstyle I tried to force my NB to, when I just started with eso. However my NB will always be my main, and will get even more attention and a new build to adapt to the class changes.
    Main char is a Strong Nord Man, Thief, Vampire, Healer, Mastercrafter. PC-EU since 2016.

    Then stop showing support, maybe? What does NOT make sense to me is having legitimate complaints about the game, then going above and beyond and pre-ordering collector's editions.

    ZO$ has a long history of introducing new content that comes with extra glitches, bugs, blue screens and lag, Morrowind and Clockwork City are great examples. I don't bother pre-ordering a game I know won't be fun to play for awhile. But the Crown Store will work great, don't worry *eye roll*

    I am all about the story of this game. Anytime there is more added to it, I am in. The Necro does sound fun to play around with, doubt I will switch to it but you never know. Oh...DRAGONS!!! Nuff Said..

    I don't feel like giving ZOS any money nowadays - the service they provide with the EU server is simply unfit for purpose in many levels.
    Fortunately I also don't itch for cats or dragons, nor for the necro class. Easy to miss this one.

    Why do you still visit the forums, then? Just wondering. Edit: Wow, you're obscenely active on the forums...


    I bought the collectors edition as usual. Love Elder Scrolls too much to not. Plus, look at dat big boi senche-raht we'll be getting! :3

    I don't like the pre-order bonus horse mount :/ Previous year I pre-ordered Summerset mostly for the Nightmare senche mount.

    My plan is patiently wait for release. I don't really like CE senche mount (I suspected it will move like welwa, judging by it's body - and it really does hop like welwa :/ ), but I still find it's rather interesting - so my plan is to wait for better recolors of this mount (I would love pure black cat, or/and
    4xOxO0w.jpg
    or pure black with black mane! :smiley: ).
    If they don't recolor it during the next year, I will buy "CE+preorder package" from the crown store directly (when Elsweyr "chapter" will transform into DLC).

    After pre-ordering Duke Nukem Forever and Colonial Marines, I never pre-order any game.

    I will see what happens to the game's health with the introduction of Necromancer and review of elsweyr zone before I pay for it.

    I just see too many red flags with the Necro ress ultimate messing up PvE balance/difficulty. But we will see.

    I bought the Imperial Edition with the Statue of the original game.

    Since then, no collectors edition. It's pointless.

    I just upgrade when it comes out and leave it at that.

    It's just easier and Beth hasn't given any "collectors" stuff in years.

    I didn't pre-order right away like the last few times for a variety of reasons.

    Then I tried this other MMORPG for a while. The entire game was little more than a transparent in-your-face money grabbing scam with little in the way of meaningful plot, story, and role-playing opportunities This was especially painful because the game is supposed to be based off the seminal tabletop RPG in the world where plot, story, and role-playing are front and center! Played through the main story (if it could even be called that) then uninstalled. For all of its faults, ESO nails plot, story, and RP opportunities on the head. And while additional features are light this chapter - and I really don't care about the necromancer class - the story and lore alone will be solidly worth it as they always are.

    Collector's edition or bust. I don't do collector's for anything else, but for chapters? No brainer.

    I tend to go with Collectors most of the times. Especially for games that I enjoy alot.
    And I do like the extra goodies most Collectors have.

    I didn't buy the expansion because personally I'm not too fond of Khajit, but mainly the Necromancer class wasn't all what I was hoping it to be.

    I was really hoping this expansion would be the one that brought me back to the game after a 2 year hiatus because I always wanted to play as a necromancer, but at the moment I think they're going to need to rework vampire or add in a new magicka weapon to get my interest again.

    Not buying until they give us the option to choose intro quest and also in protest of the nonsensical Bosmer stealth detection passive.
    All over Tamriel, theres a sudden spike in Bosmers getting caught for their crimes. A sad day indeed... #FightForYourRite Give Bosmers back our stealth!

    Too much degradation of lore and performance, and a constant stream of nerfs that makes playing less and less fun. Not worth investing in a deteriorating product.

    I consider myself primarily a furnisher and a crafter, and I've fallen pretty far behind collecting plans and motifs from previous chapters and the Murkmire DLC.

    I also have a lot of alts to finish (Mages Guild, Psijic Order, Undaunted, skill points, etc.). Those alone can keep me busy for months. So it's just too soon to add necromancer to my plate.

    I'll get around to it eventually. As long as I have things to do, I'm not in a hurry.

    physical edition is not a thing and I'm not particularly enamored with CE digital goodies for once. never going to use that style, don't care for a mount, the only thing that gave me a pause - was a pet, and to be honest, we are very likely going to get recolor of it anyways. preorder only goodies on the other hand were VERY desirable for me, so normal edition preorder - it is!

    @Linaleah - You could say it (almost) gave you paws... ;)
