    Yes, announcement confirmed! We are aiming (keyword: aiming!) to release Update 5 to the Live megaservers next week. :)

    Not a good title for post. No date was given.
    I mean really, why the hell will you put a date when there is NO DATE given?
    Why make *** UP?

    The champion system will come in over a span of multiple updates not just 1...you should've researched that one a bit better.....

    They already implemented 2 of the 3 changes.

    That is just plain false.

    As Paul Sage outlined in Quake con

    Stage 1: lowering the Difficulty of vet ranks - Already happened
    Stage 2: turning Vet Points to Experience points- coming in update 1.5 (Which is like what 3 days away?) Also Bonus rested XP
    Stage 3: Champion system which will co-exist with Vet system for a while before vet system goes away.
    Stage 4: Seasons of gear (Technically part of champ system but not what most people think of when they think of champ system since they are looking more at stage 3 as the actual champ system with the constellations )

    Starts at 37:50

    In the Road ahead from August Imperial city and the champion system was listed together, and phase 2 of the champion system is coming in 1.5.

    However, you are right, that is no guarantee that phase 3 is coming in 1.6, but it is very likely it will.

    Gina confirmed that ZOS will be releasing Patch 1.5.2 with the maintenance next week! 7 Weeks since Update 4 went live.
    After that we will see Update 6 which will include:
    • New abilities, balance tweaks and ability changes.
    • Provisioning Overhaul
    • The Champion System (Unconfirmed, but very likely.)
    • Imperial City (Very Likely)
    • Other things, maybe even horse racing but we'll have to wait until the next ESO Live before Update 6 details surface :)
    • Update 6 will probably release in the week beginning December 8.

    1.6 will most likely be first week of January. Each major patch has been roughly on an 8 week cycle, not 4 weeks.

    I have some hot info for update 6!
    • It will be the next major update after update 5!
    • It will have fixes and improvements
    • It will probably have new, redesigned delves that are part of this really cool undergoing effort to make delves more interesting.
    • It might add a thing or two. Maybe more.
    • It will be the last major update before update 7!

    So you are confirming that Justice System, Champion System, Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, And Halflife 3 are all confirmed for update 3 coming on December 1st at 12:00 am PST. Wooo lets make 30 threads about the hardcore confirmation of this information!

    Edit: This is sarcasm. DO NOT TAKE SERIOSUSLY

    Well no, it's been on a 6 week average cycle. It's been 30 weeks since launch.
    If 1.5 comes out next week it will be 1 week behind the 6 week average.
    If 1.6 comes out the second week of December it will be back on schedule for the 6 week average.

    Well since 1.5 was supposed to be a PvP update which was posted sometime between 1.2 and 1.3 and it obviously was changed. Would be nice to know for certain if 1.6 is a major PvP update. People wonder why cyrodiil and the population has died off, well nothing has changed in 6 months. Same basic warfare. Need something new and different in Cyrodiil.

    Its listed in the PTS, not live server and things change from the PTS to the live server all the time, and they are aiming, its not confirmed. And update 5 hasn't dropped yet which was even what you said to as one of the 3. So like I said. What you put was false.

    Well that answers my question at least lol. Hopefully 1.6 will contain both the Imperial City PvP/PvE and the final stage of the champion system.

    Champion System rollout phase #3 would be the earliest, as mentioned above, because they lumped a ton of balancing with phase #3 in the guild summit.

    hopefully future updates will be closer to the 4 weeks than the 6 weeks of the 4-6 release window. Once in a while going over the 6 weeks is understandable, but this being only update 5... that is a little worrisome.

    You forgot stealth attack nerfs, snipe dmg reduced, but apparently letting people know you're attacking them is a buff so they can spam absorption/reflection (Followed by invasion/streak, lash/shards is a buff).

    Don't worry though, I'll be heavy attacking and regaining that precious stam throughout the attacks, just hope my opponent doesn't cast block huh?

    No Provisioning or Champion changes on the PST that I could find. I really wanted food and drink to stack. It bothers me that drink is useless.
