Each new chapter should include all previous Chapters and DLCs

Many new features rely on the player having access to previous Chapters and DLCs. I think any new Chapter should also include all the previous content rather than having to buy parts of the game piece by piece. Please consider including all previous content with each new Chapter in the future.

IlseLouiseSoul ShrivenYou can choose to buy the upgrade OR everything released previously if I interpret the webpage correctly... Why should I pay for everything every time when an upgrade for that one new chapter is all I want or need?9 -

✭✭✭✭✭All I know is that with every new feature there are multiple posts about having to access other DLCs for new features, and never noticed a version that gave us all previous content.PCNA2 -
AlterBlika✭✭✭✭An option to purchase everything is good but given how many dlcs there are it would cost a lot0 -

✭✭✭✭✭The upgrade lets you buy just that chapter
The collection lets you buy all previous chapters but not all previous dlc3 -
SilverBride✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Maybe they should also offer one that includes all previous DLCs... everything in game up to that point. I'd consider buying it even though I subscribe just because I want to actually own the entire game.PCNA0 -

They offer an option to buy the game with all of the Chapters up to current. The "Gold Road Collection". This will upgrade an existing game by adding any Chapters that have not already been purchased. Not the best deal, if missing just one Chapter, but it is offered.
Whey do not offer is a way to catch up on any missing or unpurchased DLC that did not come with a Chapter. For that, it is Crown Store or ESO Plus. They need to have more Crown Store bundles, and maybe even consider bundling them with game purchases.Edited by Elsonso on June 7, 2024 4:59PM2 -

✭At the very least ZOS should be upfront about prerequisites.
Yes Gold Road continues on from Necrom, but I don't believe I read anywhere that it was a requirement to have completed the main Necrom storyline before being able to fully complete the Gold Road one.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭If you buy Collection: Gold Road you get all the previous chapters. (It was the same with previous chapters too.)
I agree it would be a good idea to have either a version which also includes all the DLC or an optional add-on DLC pack for people who want to get the entire game in one purchase. It'd be expensive, but the option would be there for people who want it and it'd help signal to people who choose a different version that there is more to buy. At the moment several people buy the Collection and think they're getting all the DLC, so they're very confused when they discover there's several zones and dungeons they don't have access to.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

What confuses me is it says it includes all major Chapter zones and quests. Does this include DLCs?
The Elder Scrolls Online Collection: Gold Road is ideal for adventurers, who wish to access all major Chapter zones and quests found across Tamriel. The Collection: Gold Road includes the Gold Road Chapter in addition to the base game AND all previous Chapters.PCNA0 -

Yes. What they mean by major is that it will have been the chapter. So, they can get High Isle but not Firesong. I think it's just double emphasis that they won't get every zone in the game, just the major ones.1 -

Would many buy it? I got Elsweyr with the previous chapters and then have been ESO+ and getting the chapter upgrades ever since. In addition, various DLCs have been given away during events and login rewards so I already have several permanently unlocked in addition to having ESO+. Given all this, and that many who have been playing for a while will have similar, I can’t imagine that a mega bundle would be an attractive way to complete one’s collection unless it was prorated (which I wouldn’t expect).1 -

✭✭✭✭i think the bundles with the dlc from specific years like the Dark Heart of Skyrim bundle are better than one bundle with everything.
especially because a bundle with all dlc would be way harder to afford for most people than buying separate bundles one bundle at a time.miaow! i'm Luna ( she/her ).

Don't they already pro-rate the other bundles? Like Year one bundle or whatever? Why wouldn't a bundled item represent a small discount? It's generally the point.Edited by spartaxoxo on June 7, 2024 6:29PM0 -

I don't think it would be a way for people who already have some chapters and DLC to get the ones they're missing. It would be a way for new players who want to buy the entire game as 1 single purchase to do that instead of feeling like they're constantly paying out for additional bits of a game they've 'already bought'. It might not make a big difference to the total price, but for some people there's a psychological difference in making 1 payment to get everything up to that point and then only having to pay seperately for new releases that didn't exist at the time they started playing.
Of course for other people the ability to spread the cost out by only buying new areas as the get to them will be preferable, and that option should remain, which also allows players who already have some bits to fill in the gaps without paying for stuff they've already got.
IMO another important function is that having a version which genuinely includes everything makes it clear the current Collection doesn't, so players who choose to buy that aren't caught by surprise, thinking they've got all the DLC and then finding out it's only selected DLC which was previously branded as chapters.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

They do not pro-rate bundles, it's all or nothing.

Yes, that is why one should never buy DLCs individually. Wait for a bundle, and wait for a sale.0 -

No. It's my mistake. I must have misremembered a sale as prorating.0
