    YES YES YES

    My Orc is ready.
    I'll take advantage of this post to let everyone know that the Morkul clan is the best clan.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    Does that mean you can get 2 Maelstrom Weapons per run?

    That first day, wrothgar is going to be PACKED on pc.

    WALL TO WALL.

    The witch festival's double xp will overlap the orsinium double rewards / double chests.

    Does this mean, for that one day on PC, there will be double plunder skulls?

    I sure hope this does not mean that Wrothgar survey reports have doubled yields? That's a bit too RNG for my taste.

    Hmmmm, maybe I should just start not buying dlc, keep my sub active, then 1 year later get everything that was on offer the first time through for$7 bucks....

    Hope it entices folks to buy the dlc though, gl ZoS.

    Oh yeah, I'm still not clear on the cancel membership and get offered a free month... Should I do that?

    So happy about this, love these type of events and the Interest they draw to zones that have gone quiet.

    Orsinium saved the game for me, I was disheartened after a dabble in PvP and doing this zone 100% thru got my attention back, so happy to go back there.

    Plus my first job back after Witches was to crack round 9 VMA, now double the chance of a decent reward couldnt be happier. Will also give my mates a reason to clear the zone like I did. :)

    Thanks ZOS, keep em coming :)

    Basically giving away content a year later without having new content of the same quality and quantity to immediately replace it is a pretty huge failure in my eyes. Hey guys, here's four game packs for 5500 crowns, but you can also buy the only one that really has any repeat play value for just 750.

    The game's really starting to suck for people who jumped in at TU's launch and were excited by the quarterly game pack schedule that's now been destroyed. I can't imagine how much more it must suck for people here since the beginning, outside of a few 'lucky' Shylock-level trade guild owners.

    There's no celebration here. You're now actively discouraging people from ever paying full price for anything, and that is a dangerous tactic. Perceived value is huge in digital sales, and now the game pack I paid 3000 crowns for is in the clearance bin. So I'll just wait for the clearance bin for any future game pack if you ever manage to release any.

    But I guess I should thank you for so boldly stating, don't waste money on us. We're making this all up as we go along.

    Orsinium is still my favorite out of all the DLC released so far. (Although the upcoming Vvardenfell and anything Resdayn Morrowind may change that...)

    Shoutout to Bill Slavicsek, who wrote a great deal of Wrothgar, Deshaan, and Rivenspire (all three zones are favorites), to my knowledge, Brad Derrick and Rik Schaffer for their work on the beautiful music, and all of the rest of the Devs who put their hard work into the best DLC to date! :)

    While I've been avoiding Veteran Maelstrom Arena for some time, I suppose I should take a serious crack at it this time. It'll at least help in my endeavor to collect more pieces of the Winterborn set while I'm attempting to obtain those ever-elusive Maelstrom Inferno Staves and Bows (Sharpened).

    Still not better loot chances than before DB. By far not. And don't get me started on the fact that pre-DB a leaderboard spot pretty much guaranteed you a usable weapon as well, while right now it's just the same crap as from the chest.

    Sorry, but any sane person will see that the chances to get a Sharpened Inferno or Dagger or Bow or whatever it is you need are still abysmal.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno You want a real event? Make the last chest only drop Sharpened trait for 2 weeks. That would be an actual, "Wow, we actually have a realistic chance to get what we need in less than 1000 runs."
