What part of Update 49 are you the most excited about?

Update 49 is less than two weeks away at this point! What part of the upcoming update are you the most excited about?

I'm personally really excited for the Night Market event zone, though I don't have a use for the Skill Scrolls sourced from there. I'm ready to have more inventory space with the heightened Transmute Crystal cap, and I hope more players will discover that they can play as a werewolf or a vampire in this game via the NPCs who make it easy to obtain and swap curses. The refresh to Two-Handed looks exciting, too!

I'm really excited to get my main set up with his new kit. Both my overland for-fun setup, and my pureDK dungeon running setup.

But I'm really looking forward to the end of the month - I'm assuming we'll get the U50 PTS going up around then, and I have a few things to check out there. I can't wait to play with my werewolfbear and see how the updates there look, and I'm desperately hoping for a way to make him less of a meme (and praying that I'll actually be able to give him a proper bear form at some point). I also need to test a few things since I've finally decided that I need to swap two of my characters around because my Necro's character has developed into something that just doesn't fit (and I have a new Necro character), so I need to just test one thing before they get the full swap. And the upcoming Class Mastery sounds so cool and I can't wait to play with that.

Lol I was literally just thinking about posting this exact question.

I'm honestly pretty excited for this year's content. There's a lot to look forward to.

I'm most excited for the outfit slots. I am so jazzed to get my alts all decked out with some cool outfits. I have been planning a few since they announced it. I'm excited to lean more into my characters' themes and do some light RP like specific outfits per climate or per role.

I'm also looking forward to the improved horse training. I have 3 toons sitting at 39 stamina on their horse training, just waiting for that to release so I can wrap that up in a week rather than 3. I wish they had just made it like bag upgrades, but it's still an improvement.

The free skill and attributes changes will be great for some experimentation. My sorcerers especially - looking forward to not having slots taken up for pet vs. non-pet builds.

Lastly, the DK rework seems promising. I'm not sure how much I'll play with them just given that I've already completed the game on 3 of them. But still, looking forward to that. I'm sure I'll have a night or two with them.

SilverBride · 3:22AM

I'm not excited about any of it.

Emeratis · 3:28AM

I'm very excited for the Night Market. I've always loved planar things in fantasy realms and exploring them and I am excited we're getting further expansions on Fargrave's lore. I've fallen in love with the factions and their various quirks and styles. I just wish Night Market was permanent with periodic updates and didn't have downtime. Either way, I'm counting the days til Night Market is live and ready to have a blast with friends in the zone.

BretonMage · 4:44AM

I'm more curious than excited. I guess I'm looking forward to some of the QoL improvements like the transmute crystal limit increases.

Edit: Oh, the 30-day item listing period for guild trading, definitely looking forward to that!

Frayton · 5:09AM

The QoL updates bc they'll make the game less tedious to play. I don't really care about new group content or harder overland.

Soarora · 5:30AM

Honestly? Two-bar leveling and free respecs anywhere. My hobby of leveling random skills is about to get a big level up!

Buffy121 · 8:16AM

I am looking forward to map stacking. That's about it really.

LunaFlora · 8:44AM

Housing and Fashion.

ESO_player123 · 9:05AM

QoL updates and increased number of slots for houses.

lillybit · 9:15AM

I wouldn't say I'm excited about any of it but there's a lot of things that will benefit me.

The housing slot increase/reshuffle will be nice and means I'll have many more notable houses than I started with

The faster research will cut months off. I think I had about 5 months left to go but that'll be reduced to less than 2. I'll probably even get around to starting on my alt account

Obviously the free respecs will be good and mean I can look at levelling all the morphs, especially with the backbar XP

Treasure maps will be so much easier to manage and it'll be nice to be able to donate them to guildbanks now the unique tag is finally being taken off

I'm even looking forward to daily rewards going away. It'll take away the push to log in every day and means I'll only need to log on to my alt account when there's something I actually want to do. It's been really nice building up a stock of xp and research scrolls but I think getting the time back will be nicer

I have mixed feelings about the night market. I think it's great they're trying something new and getting a new house with a built in banker (with guild access!!) will be lovely. I'm a little nervous about the reported difficulty level and need to group tho. I'm worried my anxiety will stop me from finishing it

I'm not so happy about the 100 telvar cap to queue out of IC. I never farm it and outside of events only go there for the crafting and vendor areas. I'd be happy to just not collect any tbh, but it's automatic with kills, so if you need to fight your way in you then can't easily leave

I'm sure there's more but that's all I can think of off the top of my head!

Lugaldu · 10:28AM

I am looking forward to the new structural furnishings. Regarding everything else, I am curious, but not hyped.

Enemoriana · 11:48AM

Furniture limits.
I have huge plans for free rooms with new limits, including all-sets crafting hub with banker and trader. Already checked on PTS, everything important can be placed even without ESO+.
Trying to collect enough attunable stations before update, to make it finished from first day! Have 74/83 sets now...

For bigger houses it's nice too, but there I mostly have ESO+ cap, so will have to wait until free ESO+.

Outfit slots are nice too. Have more than I need on one character and another character is in desperate need of more...

Very mixed feelings about Night Market. House is nice, vault is great, but without ESO+ you can't even place all items you get with unlocking rooms, and vault was changed for banked gold and I never bank gold... And mobs difficulty is insane. I love to do events outside from primetime, to actually see something, not just flashes and effects. And it feels like there is no way to enjoy this one.

Tel var cap is also absurd. You can get 100 Tel Var just by sneezing too loudly.

SkaiFaith · 12:06PM

I am excited about all of it.

Yudo · 12:18PM

Just the QOL.

Maybe night market group zone upon release and see how that is.
DK rework will be nice to observe I guess but personally just waiting for the class mastery and sorc changes.

Paramedicus · 12:33PM

Happy with all the QoL changes but I hope ESO doesn't go into maintenance mode

A little frustrated that the difficulty of the Night Market has been lowered

Lysorris · 12:35PM

QoL updates seem great, Class refresh for DK, Night Market although I am sad it already got nerfed and I am actually excited got Tomes.

I know it's unpopular to be excited for new monetization method, but I like getting stuff and I am not against premium price tag. Also Tomes seem much more fair than typical Battle Passes.
For those who don't know once you buy premium version of the Tome you can unlock its content even when the season ends. And I am type of player that either plays all day every day for a month or nothing at all.

Other than that I am waiting for overland difficulty, but the way they explained it so far seems it will not be that good.

Generally I wasn't that exiced for update since Necrom dropped.

Elvenheart · 2:09PM

I’m excited for almost everything that has been already said PLUS all the new hide outfit piece slots! (If anyone else already said that too and I missed it my apologies) 🥰🎈🎊🎉

MincMincMinc · 2:11PM

Can't wait for half the two hander animations to be ruined, and the other half to be better.

Jestir · 2:12PM

The QoL changes are #1 but I am looking forward to replacing the unfun daily log in + endeavor system and the night market in a month 🤓

Thumbless_Bot · 2:22PM

Housing limit increase and change of housing classification.

AzuraFan · 3:17PM

Excited? Nothing. I'll enjoy the QOL updates. I don't care about the Night Market. I have a dragonknight alt I created ages ago and never play. I might play her a bit to see the changes, but I don't plan on playing her beyond that. I'll check out the tome, of course.

Season 1 will be more interesting for me. New story content, and hopefully a warden class I'll still enjoy playing.

CalamityCat · 3:17PM

QoL stuff will be great, but I'm expecting day one will be spent visiting stables to get all the mounts I can buy with gold

Then my DK will get a new build/gear and drag some guildies into the Night Market. Then maybe try some PvP with my DK.

Once I'm tired of roasting my enemies, I'll probably add some more deco to my homes, because that's the real end game in ESO....
