What do you mean balancing overland content?

"Excited" is too strong a word in my case, but I always look forward to new content.
At least now I do.

I used to have the attitude of being unimpressed with the description of the new stuff (e.g., I wasn't moved by Elsweyr when it was announced, nor Blackwood when it was announced; I *was* looking forward to Greymoor and Markarth, perhaps even "excited" for them), and going back even further, to when I first started playing (just after the Wolfhunter DLC was released), there were several areas in the base-game, and Summerset, that I thought I'd end up ignoring for lack of interest.

But what has happened in every case is that I've found something that grabs my interest in all of the zones (e.g., Summerset and Elsweyr are now zones that I enjoy, and even Blackwood, as are most of the base-game zones).
So now I look at new content with an open mind; willing to give it a chance instead of simply dismissing it out of hand before it even arrives.

I have been gaming in MMOs for over 2 decades......I have learned that what excites me on expansions is less about story and game systems and more to do with experiences (and more cosmetics; more furnishings. More things to collect)...and the really fun part????

I like the tons of people descending upon the zones. The glitches? Do not bother me; it is part of the adventure. I have no expectations for a glitch free experience. Some of the glitches make memorable experiences that are fun to talk about years later. Whether you feel irritated or angry at the time; as time passes...they are just new and exciting stories to tell.

I love that there are no detailed walk throughs and map add ons and helpers. Everyone is on a level playing field and discovering things together. Zone chat is super active. Running across some of those fun vignettes that exist throughout ESO and people talking about them in zone chat.....in other zones...they have been there for years......so you might discover something new to you but there is no point in talking to the zone about it...everyone else has likely seen it before.

I love that new players and old players are discovering new things together. Sure, old veterans understand how the game plays better; but, there is new discovery that is shared between old and new alike.

I guess I love the community around discovering all the new things and everyones shared excitement communicating across zone chat...and sure...the excitement is not always positive...but even that can be fun to watch too.

S/he's one of the "harder overland NOW" folks.

Sylver! how are you , I'm fine with the overland the way it is, i just wish quest bosses had more hp.
Whats your opinion on overland difficulty?

Sadly, I pre-ordered prior to seeing all the pts changes for U33.

Not a total waste I guess, as I'll likely go run around the zone a bit / do the story some day. Maybe.

That and I'm sure some pvp or tanking mythic will be locked behind the card game.

U33 is not the next Chapter. We do not know what the patch will look like with High Aisle yet.

Honestly this kind of content should be a DLC, and even it will feel underwhelming!
companion are just a re skin of existing one and card game.... btw both feature that we cannot use in PVP!

So I was hoping for new classes, maybe new skill line, maybe a new PVP zone finally, maybe new game mode..I dont know anything in the level of what previous chapter brings!

but beside that yes bretons lore and quest seems nice, but does that kind of small content justify the price? really not.
i.e I prefer bying Elden ring for almost same amont of the new chapter!

Well for me scrying was pretty underwhelming.
This expans gives 2 lovely companions a card game that might easily surpass scrying.
But i understand people wanting skills

Me o/

New places to explore, loot to be had, whats not to love?

Map literally looks to be the size of Khanerthis Roost beginner island. So idk how much "exploration " you are gonna get with that. The card game idea is weird since u can already play Elder Scrolls Legends lol.
But it's still something at least. If the story for high Isle is great, then I'm in, but it will have to be like award winning story. They had better do something amazing with the story. That's the only way it's going to be worth the price.

Zero excitement, this will be the second expansion in a row I skip. I was hoping for performance improvements, raid content focus, combat improvements and variety, but it’s the same old ZOS, same old buggy mess, same old out of touch devs.

Back to WoW I go.

Are there others? The game has such fun combat, yet you hardly ever use it because everything dies by just activating one or two skills.
Seems like a waste.

Armory system exists.
Remove cp. Equip non upgraded training gear. There ya go.

I was SO super excited about the new chapter at Global Reveal in Jan.
But now, not so much. I am still curious about the new storyline. ( I just hope the writers don't make my character act like a amnesiac moron like the last couple chapters.)
New companions~ took forever to level up the last two, and with changes to Undaunted Line, will be even more of a grind.
No thank you new companions.
New card game~ Well, sorta excited at first, but not so sure now. This isn't a "tavern game" like most people wanted. This is looking like a huge time sink/grind and not sure about it, but will wait and see.
AwA~ I won't even go there here. There is a thread with 89 pages and 2600+ replies and feedback, and NO WORD from ZoS in 18 days! This is the reason I am not crazy about the New Chapter as after UD33, it will be "play as you want....once".
Yes, I will play the new chapter in June to check it out.
But, you know that feeling when you go on a date with your Ex? I might be fun, but the love is gone?
Yea, thats kinda how I feel. ZoS feels like that Ex.
Just my 2 drakes.
Huzzah!

Sadly you can only find that out by buying and playing it.

Help test it on the PTS.

I'm always happy for new content. I already pre-ordered the expansion with no regrets. In the mean time, I'm playing the new Souls type RPG new release right now and it's absolutely insane.
