jcaceresw✭✭✭✭✭So... more of the same as usual, DLC dungeons a small chapter area, new class but no class change token. Guess I will take a break again.4 -

✭✭It all sounds good. Not Spellcrafting good but good.
Except the companions. Neither of them sound appealing.Edited by Holycannoli on January 25, 2023 9:22PM2 -

Kajuratus✭✭✭Watch it! We'll have no trouble in the city above Necrom!So the Dark Elves have weird alien architecture, where people live in mushroom towers and the shell of a giant crab, but the High Elves, the pinnacle of technology, the most magically advanced race in Tamriel, are still stuck in slightly pretty, fairly tall stone buildings? Not even a hint of a glass city? Are stainless glass windows really enough to claim that a city is made of glass?0 -

✭✭✭Was watching the stream but left as I fell asleep. Says its new, just more of the same with the race I like the least. Like Morrowind but nothing about the new class or the new skill is enough to tempt me. Good Luck everyone.0 -

✭✭✭✭Okay, so where are class change tokens huh?
That said, a new class is not a new feature - classes are a feature, a new class is just more of an existing feature.2 -

I like that they are both males and that one is a Redguard rather than an Argonian/Khajiit.
It sounds like they took inspiration from all of those threads requests for an Argonian who mostly remains silent LOL2 -

It's another dungeon...
In theory an endless dungeon for two players is a nice concept, but compared to what the game needs and players are asking for, it's barely a drop in the bucket.
Can you even call it a new game system when you can play through the whole game without realizing it exists?Alandrol Sul: He's making another Numidium?!?

Offense, defense, and support skill line.
One lets you open portals like the portal game
Also you can hit people with a cool tentacle thrust with your arm
Some abilities will build points and some will spend them, which is a new class system type thing.
it kinda gave me a HP Lovecraft vibe....I like it

Let's hope it will satisfy the part of the community who likes that sort of thing.1 -
Dragonredux✭✭✭✭✭At least it seems like the Argonian companion probably won't mind if I be a murder hobo every now and then.
Also I find it funny that they skipped necromancer because they probably couldn't figure out how to get the pets/summons to functions for companions.

✭✭✭✭Best ZOS event in years. Hands down. It felt very concise and energized.
Feedback:- The Arcanist looks AWESOME. The skill animations look really fresh and crisp, excited to see more about that.
- The zone looks striking too. Really love the Dark Elves, so I'm happy to see more of their lands and lore.
- Endless dungeon sounds very promising.
- The mounts aren't really my taste, but definitely like the whole Eldritch horror theme they've got going on.
Don't feel like I've been this excited since Summerset TBH. All aboard the hype train, choo choo!3 -
Mrtoobyy✭✭✭✭The new class looks amazing from what I saw. Great job ZOS that you are implementing new mechanics and such.
I was kinda bummed though that a new class was the most requested feature as I personally was hoping for harder overland.
BUT I will have to wait and see what this year brings since we (HOPEFULLY) just got a glimpse during the reveal.
My main three wishes for this game:
Animation rework
Harder overland
Give pvp some REAL love
If any of these stuff gets done I will definitely spend money on this game!1 -

I WAS excited, for like five minutes. Then I saw the entire Class was themed around Squid Daddy, so now I'm not excited. I didn't want a Class who's identity revolves around tentacles and eyeballs.
I'm not even all that thrilled about the new Zone. I just never liked the giant fungus lands. The greener unburnt jungles of Vvardenfell were more enticing but it kinda looks like the Telvanni peninsula is nothing but the massive bulbous mushroom towers. I think the only part that will entice me, is if we get to learn about the origins of Necrom, it being a Chimeri City.CP2,100 Master Explorer - AvA Two Star Warlord - Console Peasant - Khajiiti Aficionado - The Clan

Tommy_The_Gun✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Well, at least we won't see "nerf NB" or "nerf Sorc" (or any other class) threads on forums for a long time. Every time new class was introduced it was kinda like a new mythic or set or whatever... To sell it needs to be better than anything else, so it will be OP lol.3 -

Yeah, when I saw that, the first thing that popped into my mind was that I'm really going to have to watch out in PvP zones on my non-Arcanist characters!I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!3 -
LadyHeloise✭✭✭Looking forward to new class as like the use of books as a theme (my inner librarian is super happy) and the skills look very cool especially the portals.
Not convinced about an endless dungeon, but I am sure some will like it. The all in one attunable crafting station thing that they barely mentioned has promise though.
New zone looks great - as does Apocrypha (very happy to go back there) and I like the look of the new companions too.
Hope this is not all that we will see this year though, but expect it will be.PC-EU.0 -

✭OK this year looks super dope!
- New class looks very cool, unless I saw incorrectly it almost looked like sword+rune combat and also weaponless, hands-only rune combat in a couple places.
- I have a sub 50 character I've been floundering for a purpose with, I think she just found her calling.
- Argonian Warden sounds like a cool comp.
- The whole story looks\feels VERY Cthulhu, super excited about that.
- Necrom? Holy heck those shots interior and exterior, GORGEOUS!
- AND during the bug fixes and QoL mentions at the end I heard a attunable MULTIPLE set station item! TAKE MY GOLD, CROWNS, WRITS, FIRST BORN, WHATEVER!
- The Endless 2-person dungeon sounds potentially awesome. Hoping it doesn't have 2 human player mechanics in it tho. Like player + companion would count. Wondering how they will configure it all. But it sounds like it could be an awesome "proving ground" or great XP grind spot lol. Be cool to see more of that.
I like how the potential roadmap feels this year. Not exactly sure why but it gave me a bit more confidence back. Like they are offering up some very GOOD content but not overextending themselves. Going to be a good year methinks.
