a big ol fix for how bad the last update was.

I remember seeing somebody had a table showing the content released each year. I just can't find it anymore

Jewelry crafting wasn't "free", it was part of the Summerset Chapter.

I think this year’s “system” will be the overhauled LFG/ Activity Finder. We still don’t have any new info on that (nor have I heard anything I can share with you on the matter, sorry).

yeah but system updates usually included things that were "missing" and "requested" - the only thing i think people are asking for now is performance improvements which were already announced...

I think people are asking for and expecting countless UI improvements, added functionalities (guild tools, mail, etc.) . A new weapon and associated skill line is also long overdue. Of course, none of this matters as long as the performance issues aren't fixed, but I think people's expectations go beyond performance.

Homestead was Q1, Jewelry Crafting was Q2 (and was part of the Summerset chapter).

We get a couple of QoL updates every quarter.

Q4 2019: UPDATE 24
Memory management overhaul
Fundamental changes to how we handle memory use in ESO to reduce memory fragmentation
User Experience: Greatly improved stability (i.e., less crashing / dashboarding), especially on base consoles, as well as potential minor performance improvement
Behind-the-scenes combat ability improvements phase 1
This is the first of an ongoing initiative to rewrite some of the more consumptive combat abilities to lessen server load
User Experience: This is the first of many behind-the-scenes combat optimizations and may not have a huge impact, but over time this will lessen the server load and allow smoother and more responsive combat with larger groups
Complete re-write of the Looking for Group system
Ground-up rewrite of how the system handles queues of people in both dungeons and battlegrounds—focused on reliability and speed, especially under load
User Experience: The LFG systems work as expected, even under heavy load

And also southern Elsweyr as new DLC zone...

Aside from all of the quality of life issues that they are working on, it might be nice to see a few of these things:

- banking assistant in home allows guild activities
- merchant assistant in home can do repairs
- some kind of gardening system where we can have nodes in our homes
- fishing nodes in homes
- in home portal so I can just port somewhere from my home instead of getting a loading screen to run outside and use the nearest portal out there.

Some of you may get sick of me listing the same things over the last 5 years, but hey, needs are needs.

They said each chapter would include either a new class or new system. Guess what we got in Elsweyr.

Yeah and previous chapter had both. Plus the DLCs offered a new feature as well. Elsweyr only had Necromancers and not implementing any other feature/system this years means we are down to 1 new thing per year instead of 2/3 we were used to.

Previous chapter (Summerset) only had a new system, Jewelry Crafting - there was no new class. Morrowind, however, did have both - Warden and Battlegrounds.

While they may have said that each new chapter would have a new system or class, I don't recall them saying that each update would have a new system. And, since they are focusing now on performance, I think if that's all we get over the next few updates, in addition to the usual DLC, then I'm fine with that. I'd much rather the game run better than get some new feature in a game that's not running well.
