Well, I'm ok with the new chapter, and I'm happy to have some new content now and then, but it's not like it was with Summerset or Elsweyr "OMG I want to play NOOOOOW and I MUST see that awesome countryside immediately!". Even for Morrowind I was more excited (since it was the very first chapter), especially for the new warden class.

Vampires are not my cup of tea, the thing I'm most interested in this time is the archaeology mini-game, which only seems to be a small side-activity though. There seems to be nothing game-changing in this expansion, no new class, no new fighting or crafting skill line... There's just another new quest line/dungeons/trial, like the many that already exist, which is nice but not awesome. Vampires get re-vamped, but that's available for everyone and not exclusive to the chapter, and as someone with only one real vampire character, who is like my character # 8 or #9, I don't care a lot.

Artifacts? Meh. I truly find no interest in it. There are so many things to grind already, and who complained they had too many skill points? I certainly don't.

It is actually funny that you mention it. I was noticing that I don't have any Level 50 CP 160+ characters that have all skill points allocated. Not complaining, but skill points are not a character growth factor in this game anymore. At least, not for me.

I'm starting to suspect 'hyped' means a different thing to me than most people on gaming forms. Hyped to me means literally can't sit still, dancing around the room in excitement, can't stop smiling etc

It is sort of like "nerf" in that it has the right general meaning, but the bar is lowered regarding when it can be used. It used to be when "nerf" was used, it really meant something. Not so much today. At least, not here. The same does apply to "hype". I figure that if "nerf" can be used any time someone in the combat crowd is displeased, then "hype" can be used any time there is excitement over something.

As for me, no, I am not jumping up and down and unable to sleep, although I would have been during a trip to Vegas, if I had gone. Yes, I would have gone if I had not had a conflict. I pre-ordered during the show. I will be in it on PTS the first day it is available. I will be in it on May 22, when it launches. I am seeing plenty of opportunity and value in the chapter purchase. That makes me "extremely hyped", compared to a lot of others in the forum.

Just read this, and couldn't agree more:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.pcworld.com/article/3514562/elder-scrolls-onlines-skyrim-themed-greymoor-expansion-is-a-missed-opportunity.amp.html

I have to agree on the "missed Skyrim" opportunity. I expected them to head to Skyrim next year, in conjunction with the anniversary on 11/11/21. Maybe they have something along those lines planned for 2021, as suggested in the article, and mentioned by me even last year, but it is also likely Bethesda wants them to stay the heck away from Skyrim in 2021. They might consider that the Skyrim brand is losing luster due to over use.

I also agree that they are getting stuck in a rut with the chapters, and even the year long stories. They seem to be revolving around an "average" content level, some a little higher, some a little lower, but all averaging out in the big picture. That will make things more familiar and normal for each year.

I'm semi-hyped. My first real hype feel, was when someone posted some images on the forum where you could see some of the new motifs. Those motifs are awesome and I can't wait to get my hands on them!

I’m mildly interested in the vamp changes, the antiquities and the new zone, but not enough to pre order early like usual.

I’m not sure what the difference is between “not hyped” and “don’t care.”

For me:
Skyrim and Nords — indifferent
Vampires — dislike

I’ll probably get the expansion much later in the year when it goes on sale. But I’m still hyped about ESO — just started in July and haven’t completed any questline beyond Northern Elsweyr yet as I get caught up in events and doing dungeons and battlegrounds with friends so I still have lots to do! I love elves (all of them!) and Khajiit and Argonians are pretty cool too, so lots of storylines I’m still very much looking forward to.

It’s honestly astounding how 2/3 of the community seem totally unimpressed by the new DLC although it’s set in Skyrim.

That’s a pretty clear no from the community towards ZOS feature and creative laziness. It’s just sad because ESO is such a good game.

Not really. I find that people off the forum are more interested in Greymoor, and want to talk about what is going on. The people in the forum are too busy pissing on ZOS to even really pay attention to what is happening.

I did not pay him to make that comment immediately after mine.

I am very excited but not as excited as I was for Elsweyr because I am a khajiit at heart so to see Elsweyr was extremely satisfying. My Nord is extremely pleased and so are my vampire and necromancer. I do look forward to revisiting Skyrim and the new content and fresh areas and quests and dungeons and the new antiquities sound great. I am also very curious as to what new homes and furnishings might be available.

Sigh. You reminded me that I have no Nord characters. Guess I had better get started with that. Or, I suppose I could use a Dark Elf and just run around complaining. Hmm.

I am really excited about this chapter! I love the setting, it's dark and gloomy and I really look forward to exploring the new antiquities system.

The game is in such a bad state on PS4 that nothing ZOS releases is encouraging me to be excited in any way.
