It was the first content that I didn't preorder. But I did eventually buy it, and I regret paying full price for it. This was the first release I didn't complete the side quests. Forced myself through the main story. I didn't even get the full stickerbook for the zone yet. There's just no point. If this release is what the Content Pass content is like, I'm not going to be buying them.

I can just tell I'm pretty much done with the game for now. My yearly sub is cancelled, and will expire in December I think. I'm not planning on renewing it until next year's content launches AND I feel it's appealing. I feel like the full year's content isn't ready until the end of the year anyways.

no,and I still don't know what reward I miss when I not buy pass

I waited until it went on sale to buy it and got the standard edition.

I bought the standard and it's looking like a puss poor investment at the moment. I say it on every comment, this is about shareholders profit vs customer experience from now on. ZOS doesn't understand the latter would strengthen the former.

Yes I bought it and i did like solstice as a zone and I liked the quests and seeing familiar npc characters come back. I do like the fellowship of the stirk storyline. The furnishings are great and I enjoyed the dailies.

Im not excited about this ww event thus far but things could surprise me moving forwards on the next 2 phases. Im looking forward to the wall coming down and moving to the next bit of solstice

I bought the standard edition.

I buy the "chapter" full price every year for launch, I usually sub 3-12 months a year depending on if the content they're releasing is valuable or interesting to me.

This is by far the worst year they've ever produced. If this is the future of content passes and base game update changes (sets, classes, skills) the game is on a downward spiral I can't be a part of.

I hope they prove me wrong with 2026, but so far I feel ripped off.

Pre-ordered for main account, always do every year.

Actually just about to buy for one of my other accounts, I know it will likely be cheaper still at Xmas but now I've worked out where to farm for the event I find myself also wanting access to the Seige Camp quests on this account!

Yes, I did. I knew it would be light on content because it's a transition year. Next year is kinda make or break for me. I want to see what they transition too but if this Writhing Wall event is the type of "big" changes then unfortunately I'll have to bounce. Which would be a shame because I've been a huge Elder Scrolls fan for like 20 years.

I pre-ordered the Standard Content Pass because I owned everything else, and wanted to support ZOS in their new direction.

As much as I love new regions of the map to be explored, ESO has been severely lacking in updates to it’s existing “systems” and 2025 was supposed to be the year where everything got proper support, but since the end of 2024, we haven’t seen any meaningful changes to our activities.

All of the in-game guilds have languished, and are in desperate need of something… and I’m not talking rewards. As great as it is to have awesome rewards for activities, the real reward has to BE the activity itself. If Heists, Sacraments, or Fighter’s/Mage’s guild dailies are dreadfully boring, we’re just going to hate ZOS while we’re farming them.

I just want to have fun playing the game, but nothing has changed in years.

U47 and U48 PTS left me wondering what I actually bought besides U46.

It was pretty cool to have a set idea I proposed added in the eastern half of Solstice, so I don't regret buying the expansion. I'm just a little burnt out of ESO right now, so I'll return to experience the rest of the content later.

I agree with you but minor correction they did tell us 2025 was a transition year ahead of time. It's 2026 that is supposed to be the big shift, iirc. I'm not optimistic about it after seeing the event, personally. So I share your feelings on the current way things are going. But I also think it's worth mentioning in all fairness that this warned ahead of time as a year of transition.

I still worried that will turn out to mean "we were already making a new zone and story so we released that instead of scrapping it, in future it will be a standard 'season pass' model with only tempoary additions to existing content".

Bought it at a discount and paused ESO+ for a while, which resulted in a somewhat acceptable price. Solstice is still not a lot of stuff, and often not very memorable.

Still, if they scale down content, they need to make sure the price reflects that.

For the last expansion I waited for it to go on sale. The season's pass I haven't bought at all and I'm not going to. I've never liked and participated in time limited events anyway, so the whole Writhing wall thing was a deal breaker for me. Frankly I feel more and more disconnected from the game. Subclassing didn't help: another unfun mountain to climb. There's so much of that in this game already. On top of the ever swelling tide of fetch quests and other boring repetitive stuff that only seem worth engaging in if one is obsessed with collecting digital trinkets. Hard to imagine that when I bought this game over a decade ago, it had none of that at all. I remember getting the senche mount as a 'loyalty reward' and thinking 'what the .... is this doing in the game?' Nowadays it's one of the more sane and grounded things one can find.
