i am very excited for more information on the High Seas of Tamriel event!

will Warden be discussed too or be in a separate livestream later?

Especially since this is now the only way to get the Senche of Scarlet Regret.

People in other time zones have already been denied more than twenty crate drops this year.

I wish you all could schedule these so so that us working American adults could watch this and be rewarded for it.

The US is pretty big with a fairly large time difference between east and west coast.
EU on the other hand is mostly on the same prime time.

Livestream is up now! We are talking about High Seas of Tamriel and Crimson Veldt (Trial).

Warden changes will be communicated in a later update.

thank you for the clarification

refresh necro this year

Once again drops broke and I suspect once again it'll end up being Twitch's fault.
Please, let's just stop this nonsense and move to code redemptions that are valid for 24h-48h.
That way everyone can watch the stream on their own time, VOD included, fixing the inconvenient timezone issue and we completely sidestep the issue of Twitch being Twitch and messing up the drops.
And not to mention it'll mean we are no longer tied to just Twitch and can stream on Youtube alongside it.

I don't see the downside here.

If we get to use multi-rider mounts in Crimson Veldt, will it support both the 2-rider and 4-rider variants? Will the passengers be able to attack with their own spears? Maybe this makes for a new kind of scorepushing meta.

What about Companions? When our Companions mount up when we mount up, or are passengers on our multi-rider mounts, will they also be programmed to attack with their spears?

I just realized that both March of Sacrifices and Crimson Veldt utilize mechanics that Werewolves do not have access to — namely crouching/sneaking and mounting. Why is it that the two pieces of PvE content that are literally within Hircine's realm cannot be done by werewolves?

As a primary solo player, I found the comments about the Night Market deeply concerning. Many of us solo players have not come around, as stated in the dev stream regarding the night market. We've given up talking about it, since you clearly are going to ignore and don't care about us and our feedback regarding the night market.

I have some concerns regarding the future of PVP in ESO.

For years the PVP Community got very little attention, the one thing they could look forward to was Whitestrake's Mayhem.
For the PVP people this was OUR Event where we could shine. We could PVP through and entire event and collect what we wanted without having to PVE and do things we didn't enjoy.

Then The news. PVP was getting a shot in the arm, Revamped Bgs, a new look Cyrodiil, and a new leveling system(Veterancy) the people rejoiced!!!!!

Bgs Release the people flocked to the new system........ Then the Hard truth hit. This system was more broken than the last. The people fell into Dysthymia, Dysphoria, and Despair. Leaving BGs PVP and even the game.

But LO there on the horizon is Vengeance and Veterancy, a new hope. Right?

I think not.
The PTS has already shown that this system while rife with great potential is starting out flat.

Then today We hear Via "Dev Updates Livestream" New trial has Mounted combat, New Event is a sea and Lore lovers dream with awesome ideas. (I mean this part whole heartedly it looks great)

PVP? well PVPs one remaining star is being abandoned as an "EVENT" No more tickets/Bars for PVP.
Sure we get it 4 times a year for one week at a time that's nice BUT we lose out on the, and I'm directly quoting here, "Big Shiny Draw that whitestrake's Used to have which is event tickets".

Here's the issue You are taking the one and ONLY event for PVP players and making it unimportant on the landscape. AND Your using Veterancy as a contributing factor. Problem It only applies to Cyrodiil (Vengeance). This seems more like a way to force people into vengeance in order to participate in Whitestrake's. Im hoping IC and BGs will still be a part of this as I and many others are not fans of Vengeance in its current state.

The general Vibe I'm getting from the changes over the last couple of years and looking towards season 1 is that PVP is being dismantled into a shell of what it was and its importance is being downplayed to allow for future PVE gains. If you take our PVP event Give Us a PVP Event.

We only have one EVENT and in season 1 we wont even have that.

Will mounted combat only be limited to the CV trial or will we be getting a new combat mechanic? Will there be a way to improve your mounted combat? Upgrades to mounted weapons? Upgrades to mounts? Will mounted combat come to PVP?

Veterancy applies to all AP-granting PvP modes (Battlegrounds, Imperial City, Grey Host, Vengeance). Yes, there will be the Vengeance perks as part of the rewards alongside various Outfit Styles, PvP currencies, Titles, etc., you don't even have to join the Vengeance campaign to progress it.

Thank you for that clarification.

I’m genuinely excited by the ideas shown here. High Seas of Tamriel sounds like exactly the kind of fresh, thematic experiment ESO should be trying, and Crimson Veldt looks like it has a strong identity with the mounted combat and Hircine setting.

That said, I think a lot of the friction around these updates is avoidable. Twitch drops are the clearest example. If drops keep breaking or excluding people because of time zones/work schedules, why not move to 24-48 hour redemption codes tied to the stream/VOD? That would let people engage on their own time and avoid making rewards depend on Twitch behaving perfectly.

I also hope the team is careful with mechanics that accidentally exclude certain playstyles. If Crimson Veldt is Hircine-themed, werewolves should not be at a disadvantage because required mechanics involve mounting or sneaking. That would feel especially odd in content tied so closely to Hircine.

More broadly, the content concepts look strong. The concern is less “this looks bad” and more “please don’t wrap exciting ideas in unnecessary friction.” Clear communication, accessible reward delivery, and consistency between theme and mechanics would go a long way.
