    Starting with season 0, almost all new features and content are going to be free! There will still be some paid content but most stuff that used to be charged for like chapter stuff will now be free. Also the rest of the year one dlc will now be free?!?!??

    Waiting with baited breathe for how they'll actually finance the game then. I'd be worried we'll get more MTX, but I can appreciate their rationale.

    I'm surprised it's not just fully f2p at that point

    Rerolls on the battle pass. One small quest line this year and a raid. We're fallout 76 now. No word on dungeons, at least I didn't hear it.

    Daily rewards eliminated. The things they gave us for daily logins will now have to be earned and worked for in a battle pass.

    No more event tickets! Trade bars in the Gold Coast Bazaar with old items from stuff like crates that will almost be entirely earnable!

    A lot of its great, needed qol stuff and might market sound cool. But the actual content is thin. No mention of dungeons though I could've missed it. The kicker is battle pass. We're losing quite a bit. I love the game but a lot of this worries me.

    Wow, so many good features. I'm skeptical about the battlepass Tamriel Tomes. I do appreciate how they're really looking to reduce the "PLAY EEVERYDAY OR LOSE!" feeling.
