The year of the Dragon was great and looking forward to see what's coming in 2020

Waste of year with horrible gameplay changes and the performance is trash as ever. It could be have been season of the painted powder puffs. Wouldn’t matter with with this circus.

When we'll we have year of dragonknight?
2018 was nightblades
2019 - templars
sorcs are always actual
So question is if warden or DK will be cherished class in 2020

So the year is coming to an end, I personally found this DLC the least enjoyable in my opinion, Dragons were cool but I still loved Summerset more just because Gryphons and nice landscapes and stuff.


Edit: Accidentally pressed Enter and wasn't able to have a "I don't like any of the new DLCS" Option so just type it below.

Summerset was considered a Chapter I believe when it first came out. So I'm not sure it's fair to compare Southern Elsweyr to Summerset.

It would be better to compare it to Murkmire. That was the last DLC questing zone we had I believe. And while I did enjoy Murkmire, Southern Elseweyr had a much better story and more content. So I believe it compares favorably.

I really didn't and don't have any use for Murkmire. The ONLY swamp I like is Hjaalmarch.... and I have zero use for Argonians. I LOVE Elsweyr and Khajiit though, so yep - I am just fine with this Year of the Cats and Dragons.

I will NOT be fine if next year is the Year of Skyrim. I am SO done with Skyrim.... So, if it shows up next year, well, I won't be buying it or playing it. If it's for 2021 instead.... maybe. A vanishingly small maybe.

^ this. Hated dungeons, was made worse by my next point.
Also disliked the room locking in the hall of lunar champion behind separate DLCs including dungeon and the locking of sets and achievement furnisher behind Dragonguard daily quests. (We already work to unlock the ability to purchase the furnishings now we have to work to unlock the guy selling us the furnishings we still have to work to unlock!?!?!?!)

The zones were nice, really well done, lots of content, cool characters, I got to kill a few dragons, decent storyline, nice new necro class, uh think that’s everything...

7/10 (would have been 8 if not for the achieve furnisher locking, 9 without the dungeon DLCs wasting a zone DLC space or a patch dlc space)

S.A.96

Everything turned out to be so BORING to me... Northern Elsweyr was gorgeous when I first went there, but it quickly grew stale, especially with some of the quests feeling tedious. Southern Elsweyr is even worse--it feels so dead, and I'm not talking about the fact that the place is decrepit... It just has no atmosphere whatsoever.

The dungeons are awful. They're frustrating and have hokey mechanics for the sake of having them feel fresh, but in the end they're just tedious. I have the same feelings about the Frostvault dungeons and a few of the other new DLC ones. They're getting less and less satisfying to complete. I remember the thrill of beating vet Scalecaller and Bloodroot Forge, for example, and how satisfying it felt. With the newer dungeons, I'm just glad when they're over.

And Sunspire. Don't even get me STARTED on that. It's by far my absolute least favorite content in the entire game. They advertised it as a "full" trial, but it's a mini trial with a lot of tedious filler to make it feel more substantial. The dragons spend most of their time flying around invulnerable while we deal with round after round of fighting the EXACT same waves of adds and it's utterly mind-numbing. I understand that other trials are similar, but at least the fact that we're doing the same thing over and over again is at least better disguised or more fun makes them much less tortuous.

Lastly, the Lokke set. It's stupidly OP. While I understand that there will always be the BiS meta sets, Lokke is SO absurdly far above the rest that stam DDs who want to optimize their DPS basically have no choice but to use it. It feels like we're all being funneled into a very narrow meta, and I'm honestly tired of bringing up new gear set combos and builds to people only to be met with "but LoKkE iS bEtTeR". And they're frustratingly correct. This obviously speaks to a larger issue with meta chasing, but the number of sets seen as viable for max DPS feels narrower than ever.

I just finished the main quests in Clockwork City, Summerset, and Vvardenfell (in that order because no one gets to dictate how I play) and, while the latter was a bit less interesting, they were worlds above Elsweyr. I'll admit that I absolutely love Dunmeri lore, especially the Tribunal, and have zero interest in Khajiit lore and the culture in general, so I have no attachment to Elsweyr like I do the others. My opinions on the Vvardenfell, CWC, and Summerset quests may have more to do with Vivec and Sotha Sil than the quality of their content, but Elsweyr feels like a huge drop in quality to me.

I like exploring new things, so I always like new content just for the story. Doesn't mean I played the DLC's a lot after completing most non-repeatable content or that I enjoyed the combat changes. I rather had performance upgrades and a playable version of Cyrodiil (but we got Volendrung instead).
