No trial or arena included with this DLC? I've read the article and it makes no mention of this. The only DLC that lacked one was Dark Brotherhood. It would be awesome to have a new solo or 4 man arena.

No new trial / arena? Was expecting at least a new mini trial or solo arena... Not a very climatic ending to the dragon stuff sadly.

So, had we decided that fighting dragons wasn't enough of a PITA already?

If they start flying away if no one engages in time, no one is ever going to bother with Sandblown Dragonscour again.

I am happy that they have improved the dragons. Although, the sky coloring seems a little bit not right. They can leave that part out.

I never asked for that myself.Besides one has to realize that it wouldn't hinder Finn's team's progress on trials.

The new dragon mechanics and aesthetics update looks seriously awesome! And that Alfiq temple of Khenarthi is so cute. Judging from the preview we just saw in the Live stream I have to say this zone looks very promising and seems to have depth both story and lore wise. Good job, ZOS!

I mean, repeatable end game content is one of the worst things to cut IMO. I don’t think many people would be upset if one of the scheduled dungeon DLC’s was put on hold for performance improvements, but this is supposed to be the 2nd largest content expansion this year (2nd only to chapters that must be purchased separately). An overland zone, filled with a few hours of story quests just doesn’t feel like enough. It will be like the Gold Coast without adding a new guild, does anyone actually still go there? Compare that to the countless hours of fun spent in Asylum Sanctorium or Maelstrom Arena (some might debate this one as fun, haha). Personally, I was not a big fan of Blackrose Prison, and I think a lot of players felt the same. Sunspire is an excellent trial, really well done (when it’s not filled with gamebreaking bugs) but many end game players are getting tired of it after about 5 months, and really hoping for something new. I guess we’ll see on Monday.

Except it took them nearly 3 years to even announce/begin any sort of performance improvements after the launch of One Tamriel. It would have been fine if we got a drought back then in the name of fixing the game but it's embarrassing that it took them 3 years to begin to fix the game.

Not exactly true. Forum-truth, yes, but in actual fact, they have been working on performance for years, with varying degrees of success. Some of those things have done little more than delay the inevitable, which is where we are today, even if they were successes at the time. This is the first time they have rolled out a Power Point slide, and the first time they have talked about replacing the broken parts rather than just trying to bandage them.

ZOS says that Update 24 has the potential to have minor performance improvements. They are tooting their horn, but I honestly don't expect that players will really notice anything obvious. The combat performance improvements are ongoing so the improvement will be gradual over the next couple of updates. The memory improvements are really about game stability.

Update 25 is the one I am looking forward to. That is the one where they sort through and compress the image files and address patch/loader issues. That has the potential to reduce patch install times, as well as make it so that loading screens are shorter. This is also the one where they are "reserving time" for an FPS performance pass, as well as back-end server performance.

Will we be able to change our DK into storm DK or Frost DK at some point in the future????

I do not think they have said anything but I doubt they will do this. Right now, the motto is "homogenization without calling it that" and "every class does every role". If they did something like separate out DKs by dragon damage type, rather than the generic vomit fire and vomit poison morphs, then the DK would probably by mainly DPS and to a lesser extent, Tank. After that, DK would no longer be homogenized.

When Vet ranks transitioned to Champion Point, any V16 gear was only converted to CP150 & all gear that was max level before conversion had to be refarmed. I've 8 tons multiple sets on each &I think I'm not alone in not wanting to refarm so much gear. So even though CP redesign isn't finished yet are we going to have to work about that? @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_BrianWheeler

Sorry to burst your bubble, but most if not all of the planned changes are on the client-side of things, the core problems will remain.

My bubble is safe. I was talking about the whole year's worth of stuff, which does include server-side performance work. At least, that is what ZOS says.

you can solo most normal dungeons spamming brawler, even better with a master 2hander.
and if you play plar, by spamming sweeps

Nafaalilargus is too obscure.

While my poor Redguard behind still remembers him (not very) fondly, I would still like to see him in ESO. But - he didn't have a broken horn, or rather, his horns should be unbroken at this time.
Regardless of which dragon it will be - I have a hard time imagining a dragon 'spawning scaled children' with Sai Sahan. The dragon will most probably lay the eggs, but can you imagine Sai fertilizing them? Or will he just incubate them...?

Just got around to watching

I have one main question
Storm and Frost Dragons

Will we be able to change our DK into storm DK or Frost DK at some point in the future????
If you haven't considered this, will you now?

Sorry if others have already asked this question

What do Dragonknights have anything to do with Dragons other than the word 'Dragon'?
