Haven't seen any discussion about the DLC preview scheduled for Sept. 19.

The article also says they'll be revealing the remaining events of the year. That's exciting!!!

Anybody have any ideas what "share information on the exciting end-of-year promotion we’ll be running throughout" means?

PS: If you watch the event on twitch with your account linked, you can get a purple torchbug pet!

    Season's event with tiered goals for big rewards, like Summerfall and Dragon Rise, most likely

    We don't know what "share information on the exciting end-of-year promotion we’ll be running throughout" means.

    What I would say is ZOS have only ever used the language "end-of-year promotion" once before.
    Google: site:www.elderscrollsonline.com "end-of-year promotion" was their 'Slay Dragons Save Cats' promotion.

    I would expect something like Summerfall or Dragon Rise.

    They also use the line
    outline the upcoming in-game events
    which would include the 'Lost Treasures of Skyrim event'.

    Combat and PvP seems to get worse with every update. Not really something to be excited about.

    That's a fair point. There are QOL improvements we need. My 1 month sub actually expires on the 15th, and I will not renew for 6 months until after the event on the 19th (if they give a strong impression that the next quarter will be worth it) . If not, I'll probably just have eso on the back burner for another long while and play other games.

    That's just a regular event, it was already on the PTS. All you have to do is complete a Western Skyrim daily.

    Used to get really hyped for these reveals, but increasingly they are about ZOS congratulating themselves and ignoring degraded performance, repetitive quest lines, poor skill design and basically all the feedback players have provided.

    Unless they are planning to reveal:
    - Meaningful investment in servers
    - Rework of the Vampire cluster****
    - Melee Magicka skillline
    - Increased Housing Slots

    Think Il give it a miss.

    we're going to Markath I think? I'm eager to see how its going to look, and the rest of the map too.

    It's already been announced on Facebook that it's ESO: Markarth for the 4th installment, not that it matters much though because this game is going downhill faster than ever.
    Far too many characters to list any more.

    You're not going to miss out on anything unless you're into lore. These previews are more about selling a product than they are about informing their player base about upcoming changes.

    I am that, yes. But what do you mean by lore. Them just talking about the story or actually showing the content/cinematics.

    Story and setting. Although I believe they're overdue for a new arena so you might see that. I believe this will be the 5th set of ability altering weapons so this will be a big deal for stam since that means we'll get a weapon that affects the ubiquitous PvP skill for stamina: Rally.

    If they're going to do things in a pattern it'll be a solo arena next.

    So "end of the year promotion" could be:

    -the tiered goals that give rewards (possible rewards: houseguest antequarian and/or the antiquarian's alpine gallery)
    -the treasures of skyrim event
    *both of these as one thing
    -an event that doubles drops in MA, new arena, or something in that theme
    -scryable home?

    That sounds like a cool idea! Scry for leads that lead to pieces of a map to a hidden house would be neat.

    Honestly I'd rather have a poor loot system with a solo dungeon than with a 4 person arena or trial. The less I have to rely on ESO's player base the better.

    But it's so BORING running the same uninteresting content on your own over and over again! It took me 40 runs to get the perfected inferno, with no variation on how I approached things, no funny moment with my team. It was miserable. And then, at the end, you get a single drop. (-___-) With vDSA, you can change your team mates, your team roles, have a conversation and you get four chances at your desired weapon. So much better!

    For new dlc it will be probably information that we get new zone without new trial, skill lines, any innovation at all. Just old new zone with 6 delves, two worldbosses, one bigger city. In terms of actual content dev team really dissapoints in terms of Q2 and Q4 for almost two years now. But maybe i'm wrong and we will see some incredible stuff

    Reading these threads always makes me wonder why people keep playing a game they hate and find boring. It makes no sense to me.
