Maintenance for the week of April 6:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 6

Is this real? An entire zone, just for questing?

Seriously? Is ZOS really wasting an entire DLC on one huge zone just for quests? Something that can literally be released for a single-player game, you’re calling a DLC for an MMO?

Legit, not a single bone for PvE or PvP? I think you guys have done an amazing job at making it abundantly clear who you cater to @ZOS_GinaBruno. Enjoy losing the last of the Endgame community with no new content for another 6 months.

    First: it is called MMO"RPG"

    No one is losing anything.

    Fact: PvE players exist in this game.

    And PvE + PvP players like myself having a blast.

    Most DLCs for this game are to provide more quests or more dungeons. It’d be cool for a new PvP focused DLC but as a fav of both PvE and PvP, I’m happy with how they continue to progress the story/lore in Tamriel.

    Questing is PVE content. You can chose to do the quests solo or like I do with new DLCs, play with my boyfriend and we do the same quests together.

      Not all players are catered to in every patch; thinking they need to be is the height of entitlement. ESO has always been known for its fantastic questing zones. Telling someone to "go play Skyrim" if they want to quest is really indicative of the fact that you've not enjoyed nearly all that this game has to offer.

      The dlc is going to be a complete faceroll.

      They mention Dragon hunts, so I assume it will work similar as Dragon overland bosses in Elsweyr, so well... technically there will be some small tiny bit that would require more ppl... but that is just meh.

      On the other hand, If they are going to improve performance, the sacrifice for the lack of group dungeon / arena is justified imho.

      note:
      I guess they just looked at the data and saw that arenas & trials are done by minority and it is the least popular content (lack of group finder support for those, they should add it so more ppl would do them). A vast majority of ESO players are in fact solo players who started playing because they like TES games... :|

      I hope that's not true. I love trials, dungeons, and arenas.

      Another pair of public dungeons would be nice, but they've only done that 4x total, so no more than once a year. (Orsinium, Vvardenfell, Clockwork City and Summerset).

      This DLC sounds like it will be as minor as Murkmire. So be it. My enjoyment of the game is not thwarted by the fact that I find Murkmire completely unappealing.

      This is just the standard 4th Quarter DLC, like Murkmire, Clockwork City, etc. Each DLC can have a mix of things. This is primarily overland PVE. Quest. Delve. Public Dungeon. It is nestled between what will probably end up being two Dungeon DLCs. The big non-Zone thing this time is a new multi-player system (LFG) and some core game improvements.

      In addition to the new DLC game pack, we are also launching a massive base-game patch, free to all players, that features the first wave of the previously announced performance improvements. This first batch of changes includes a memory management overhaul, the first phase of combat ability performance improvements, and a complete redesign of the Looking for Group system.

      If all I get out of this release is this... and it works... I'll be a very happy camper.

      Wow. An honest surprised person.
      Who would have thought a company supporting a game that is 99.999% about casual gameplay would cater to that market?

      Small hint. If it is entirely story content they will sell sooooo many more copies than even a complete cyrodiil remake.

      I will go on record now stating that double story content zone drops will triple their sales figures over last year. We'll see if I'm wrong next December.

      This is why we need Veteran Zones for high level players to quest in. New scenery, stories, and NPCs are nice and all. But a bit more challenge to make the content more interesting to explore would be welcomed. At least by me.
