[Datamine] 2022 Chapter Details

essi2 · January 2022

On the topic of leisure activities, a card game is a nice addition if done well.

ESO could also do with a overhaul of the fishing system

Jeirno · January 2022

That's it. I'm becoming a card game main.

Tyrvarion · January 2022

I wouldnt say that mythics had no affect on combat. Some mythic items changed the combat for me way more than inclusion of Necromancer class. Companions however exist only to shorten solo activities by a small margin and tohave another character to display outifs, costumes andmounts and as.. well questgivers. I am not opposed to the card game addition by any means, though I am inclined to agree that it sounds like 'side content to add' rather than 'main feature' For instance summerset aded both new craft and new combat skilline. Why not both. Either way I beleive we should wait with judgement of the card game until we learn anything beyond the fact it is a cardgame.

I do hope that this system slots in well with other game activies, like antiquties does, and gives players more incentive to complete things like dungeons, trials, PvP, etc.

I don't think it should be as grindy as antiquity farming, a progress bar suggesting you need to complete X dungeon 3 more times at most in order to drop the card would be great!

I also think they could be a reward for doing dailies, so the Vivec card can drop from Morrowind dailies etc.

I would also love to see something like the 'Z'Maja' card would have a chance to drop from Z'Maja with higher difficulties giving more chance for it to drop etc.

I do wonder how much ZOS plans on balancing the cards post launch, maybe that will be the resonsibility of the Legends team?

I wonder if they plan on sharing some of the gameplay features/ card design and assets between the games.

I see your Sotha SIl and raise you my Vivec

Aw, I wish they integrated this game instead of making a new one. Then maybe it will get out of maintenance mode..

Vivec + Almalexia were so OP in TES: Legends, One when exalted makes you incapable of losing while he was on the field, the other makes all exalted creatures including herself invulnerable, it's worse when you end up with the whole Tribunal on the field and you have an invincible Sotha Sil summoning an 8/8 Imperfect with guard after each turn.

Yeah they were only good against people who couldn't build well rounded decks. There was plenty of counters against them like Mummify, Lethal monsters and an abundance of removal action spells. They didn't really see much play after their initial release. Sotha Sil was probably the most popular of the Tribunal I'd say.

For those disinterred, let me ask you something?

You do know ESO is lacking in the leisure activities department right? there is more to the game then combat and adding new features like this increases the games depth rather significantly, this adds more things to do.

ESO is absolutely not lacking in that department, it’s basically everything they’re focusing on for years now. Housing, Fashion, Companions, Antiquities - all that stuff gets so much focus while combat gets nothing.

You know another downside to the card game? It will be heavily monetized in the Crown Store. That’s why they focus on fluff and not something related to combat. It’s all about $$$.

Parasaurolophus · January 2022

Card game as a feature of the chapter? Well, it's probably even better than companions.
Oh common... What's wrong with this game lately? I'm scared.
Why not new classes? Why not new skill lines? Spellcrafting? Seriously? Jesus...
I hope this is only because ZoS is fixing the server code and there will be big changes in the future. But... But... I just don't know what to say.
We already have one card game with Pacrooti.

Yes, Legends exists. Or, rather, existed. It failed. So clearly a great idea to import it into ESO, right? LOL.

Harvokaan · January 2022

So the selling point of this chapter is again a mobile-like minigame? No additions to core gameplay, no new skills, classes, systems?

If that is the case, I'm done. Paying full price for the chapter is a waste of money. Who thought it is a good idea?!

Sheezabeast · January 2022

Based solely on that wording......are Ornaugs water mounts??????????

Sotha_Sil · January 2022

I wonder how an isle the size of Summerset or Vvardenfell is going to pop up on the map.

dinokstrunz · January 2022

I love card games and all but I do worry about the lack of updates towards making the game feel fresh for the most part. Classes haven't really evolved and have just kind of stuck to how they were when they first released. Lets just hope ZoS have more to show tonight other than just a brand new mini game.

Mushroomancer · January 2022

Ah yes, just what we need after a two-year content drought, *** discount TES: L, brilliant.
I really hope this isn't the big core feature of this year, otherwise it really says something about ZOS' perception of what an MMO needs.

It will be interesting to see how they handle it, but lets be real, they can and will have to redraw the map several times before ESO is done expanding.

Like Vvardenfell, it will be much smaller on the global map than it really is.

Pepegrillos · January 2022

I hope this is some elaborate prank.

Sylas_Orin · January 2022

YES YES YES BRETON STUFF

tomfant · January 2022

Card game = PvP that is not plagued by lag and desync.

I wondered that too. But, if it was that kind of new in-game functionality I'd expect it to be available to everyone in-game, not as a limited time pre-order bonus.

"Going by popular request we completely reimagined and resigned ESO pvp into turn based card game, get ready to game on #esofam!"

rbfrgsp · January 2022

An in-game collectible card game sounds way better than companions. Antiquities are a good system. Companions are the only gameplay addition from any chapter that has really disgusted me.

This type of reasoning is exactly what I cannot stand. Simply adding "more things to do" doesn't make the game deeper in the slightest, especially if it's gonna be (and of course that's how it's gonna go) some cookie-cutter card game. Leisure activities would be fine if there was any interesting content to balance them out, or as a side feature alongside something bigger, but as a "main" feature for a chapter? No thanks. As of right now, there have been no significant additions to combat in two years. It seems that ZOS shares your opinion that there's more to ESO than combat, in fact they seem to think that there's only something other than combat. I seriously hope this is all a massive joke, otherwise it's gonna be the third year in a row they get away with slapping some lazy non-system on this game, and the majority of the fanbase mindlessly lapping it up like it's the best thing since sliced bread.

Description states that it is against NPCs so still no new pvp mode xDD
I had almost no expectations and yet i feel disappointed again (third year in a row). I really hope it is a joke and they will show something good today but yeah...

The description says

Compete with friends or test your mettle against NPCs in this deck-building game invented on High Isle.

So it will be both PvE and PvP

Toxic_Hemlock · January 2022

Well if a card game is the selling point of this chapter I won't be buying it, I don't play an online RPGs to play cards, sorry I use actual cards for that.

Also the pre-order mount is an elk and all the elks/camels and rams to me are butt and ugly, so no sale there either.

So far I see nothing to make me excited, I'll have to see what the reveal offers, but it is looking like I'll just save a few bucks and get it with my membership in a year with ESO+.

I can't help but think of FF8 when I think of card games...and I cringe...hard.

Ah my fault. So looks like we will have working pvp ladies and gents, but for some reason i cannot feel excitement about that.

Parasaurolophus · January 2022

By the way, there is nothing about new companions.

Tyrvarion · January 2022

Tbh I dont expect them to mention companions in such places - Companions-if there are any new ones are extension of "Blackwood Feature" rather than a part of this year feature, so, just like Antiquities added in Blacckwood they are features of lesser priority than the new feature of this eyar, from marketing standpoint.
