The global reveal stream recap video is up! Check it out if you'd like a brief summary of what went down on stream: ua-cam.com/video/iUIp64ZvYVc/v-deo.html
I love autumn leaves, castles, Ayleid arches, and wooden cabins/cottages. The entire aesthetic of this expansion is 10/10. Everyone is looking for information about Scribbing, but I'm dying to know what the housing update is. I feel so teased. 😅 I'll be wondering what the housing update is every day until they tell us.
Such a shame. This is the worst reveal i ever seen. 10 years and they do backflip which u can cha ge cokor comon it suck a lot. Pvp they didnt show cuz they have no idea what they will do but mark my word , when they do its gonna suck as well
We 10000% need story mode dungeons, cause everytime I try to focus on what NPCs say and whatnot, people wanna kick me and/or other players are rushing ahead.
Dang, sorry to hear it. I would definitely recommend running dungeons with likeminded peeps that you can find in guilds! It’s what I do, and I always have great dungeon experiences 🙏
Yeah honestly I just started recently. And this game has one of the absolute worst new player experiences, and the community is 9/10 of that. I've been told "STFU noob" asking for time for dungeon quests. All sorts of stupid stuff, I've had to make more reports in a couple weeks, then I have in any other MMORPG in years. This game has a super super toxic community, this game is gonna have some ban waves coming out
Shane is a liar or he is doing something wrong cause I don't talk to anyone in the game and still listen to the story with 0 issues. So what have you been doing wrong Shane?
Ive also never had an issue. "Im a noob. Reading stuff hold up" in local and I get "np" followed by people dancing and emoting around me 😂😂 If the community is toxic to you, youre either playing with the wrong people or being toxic first.
@Ruhrich92 No, some people are just bad people and do rush the dungeons. Just because you had a good run doesn't mean people can't have a bad one. Your whole comment reeks on toxicity so gj proving the problem 😂
I came back to ESO for a bit because of the Hermaeus theme of Nrcrom and the Arcanist. Stopped for a bit but scribing is definitely going to bring me back, I feel like the devs are getting better at continuously giving us more interesting and in-depth content that we actually want : D
I didn’t watch the reveal video because I knew Arttea would give us a golden joke and a better breakdown …and it was worth going down that road for that opening joke. Thank you for that
For those who say the pvp is the only thing to do end game..There are more end game type of content, if you have a more open mind with things. Such as, get into housing. Become more interactive within a guild or 5 and handle all different types of guild events. Mentor others in pve and/or pvp. Create and role-play max amount of characters. Theory build a 4 man team so buffs/de-buffs don't get over-stacked or miss anything necessary without unnecessary tactics. Just to list a few general ideas that you could delve into. My personal favorite is the housing with seemingly infinite creativity and helping out literally anyone needing reasonable help within the community.
The way they mapped out the zone when looking at Tamriel makes the zone look huge! I know ESO's mapping logic doesn't always work like that but I do hope it's really big but still fleshed out of course
I love the game honestly it’s one of the best RPG MMO out there and I really feel like the game is not dead it’s just going through rehabilitation, I have a strong feeling the future for eso is gonna be amazing. The PVP aspect of the game is good but I really think they’ll revamp it because ESO is a steady growing community and it definitely need some balance. Now if they added more races also cross play and more styles that are obtained through actually playing the game that would be epic but I’m here to stay 🎉
Wow, I was expecting something big, 10 years it been. And we got a whole lot of the same. Yay we can zip around blinding people with colorful spells like in Warframe soon. Like what about modernizing the game?
lol people are allowed to dislike things while hoping those same things get better. I like the tes world and lore but this game has some serious issues that keep me from putting any time into it. Would be nice if the combat got improved and if there were more options for pvp, but even that isnt enough imo. The desisions they make even with this expack are extremely greedy and money hungery.@@Michael64425
Great vid! Scribing sounds super amazing! Maybe eventually Fatecarver but in a purple poison beam... Has anyone ever asked about making motifs account-wide instead of per character?
Ehhhhh, honestly I was really hoping scribing would be something massive. A skill line you could completely fill multiple bars with and not even touch the surface of it. A way to add a lot of the missing spells or skill lines from TES. In reality it's just an extra skill for your weapon that has more than two morphs
I do wonder what kind of primary/secondary/tertiary effects we will be able to scribe these skills with. Maybe we will get some effects that resemble the kind of things that we had in the other Elder Scrolls games that are missing from ESO 🤔
This uodate perfectly sums up the ESO experience as a whole, “lots of potential but completely underwhelming.” Ever since launch, when I bought this game, it has forever been underwhelming. I sincerely want to love this game and have invested so much money waiting for the day the game reaches its potential, alas 10 years later, it still has not.
I liked the new feature where we can change the look of skills. I just hope it also include sound. Its a lot of good skills I never use because the sound is annoying. Wall of elements is one of them with the «ahhh» sound the character makes when casting it. It would be cool if we could customize things like that.
1. Hyped 2. This looks pretty positive for the future. 3. That sudden appearance of Jungle they mentioned on the borders with Valenwood is going to have Tiber Septim turning in his grave. He put a lot of effort into retconning that jungle. 4. Good job on the video. You managed to get all of the relevant bits from the whole twitch announcement into about 5 minutes. Very well done. 👍
@@DA-xz6wm Tiber Septim used the power of CHIM to change history, so Cyrodil and central Tamriel was never a jungle, even though it was a jungle in the past. Getting a headache now. But you are right, even though he had already changed the jungles from the future, he hadn't died yet, so couldn't turn in his grave. 😖
@@nelson_rebel3907 Its one on those wibbly wobbly timey wimey things. He changed history so that the jungle never existed in the first place. Which is why at the time of ESO the central empire area (Cyrodil et al) isn't covered in Jungle. He made the change somewhere around the start of the third era, but the effect was that jungles were redacted right back into the Merethic Era so they never existed. ESO is full of time slips, loops, paradoxes and the occasional Dragon Break.
Woah hey...look at that cool sword skin in the screenshot at 5:03! Looks quite different than anything we've gotten so far. I honestly hope that after all they've learned from High Isle and even Necrom where they shook up the formula for ESO a bit, that they realize they can do SO MUCH more with TES and Tamriel than doing the expected for ESO. A variety of things, including even those sword skins, point in the direction of embracing a bit more creativity it seems...
Looking forward to the Gold Coast... but also broke my pea-picking heart. I was hoping that the combat pets would already be considered a 'skill' and that we could change the look of them now, is what it is, and I will look forward to seeing if they actually do it down the road. I am totally hyped to see that Mizzik is coming back! Not to mention our favorite vampire friend! The visuals! It looks like it's going to have a completely different feel to it, which is awesome! Seeing Bravil as a PvE town kinda makes up for my other favorite town being in a PvP zone. Overall, it looks like a great new zone and Chapter.
You want to know what keeps me playing ESO after all these years? The lore. I like the game play, but I absolutely love the lore of the Elder Scrolls. I'm so excited.
I stopped playing a few years ago, but with all the new exciting stuff coming out now I might get back into it. Just not excited about doing a sub again, and I recall that a sub is needed in order to have enough bank space. Still, ESO has a whole lot going for it.
Nice, thanks for feeding us well 🥺 Sad to see not companions this chapter, until Q4, makes me wonder if they'll be free in Q4 instead Also yeah I love this, it's fun, it's lovely, I'm really hyped Also I'm theorizing the new feature to be weather control
I was a little disappointed with the answer too, but I appreciated that the dev's at least have a vision for how they want the overland content to be like and they are sticking to it, I can respect that decision.
It seems like the state of the game is pretty healthy. In the new PTS they're trying to address issues with magic and martial damage effects, and I'm really excited to see if lightning staff is finally going to see the damage boost it needed to stay in the top dps. I've wanted to play a lightning sorc since my early days but i felt obligated to abandon that path after i saw that flame staff simply offered superior damage for group content.
I've been away from ESO for a while, and even as I played it before uninstalling I basically engaged with nothing I actually enjoyed when I first started, just caught in the daily grinding loop to no real end. However this Scribing feature is along the lines of something I've thought the game's needed for a very long time, and may actually be enough to get me to reinstall the game, at least to check it out. However, if it's tied to purchase of the chapter as opposed to being built into the base-game update I'll be sorely disappointed in ZOS (although it wouldn't surprise me)
Let me start by saying I love your videos and I’ve been playing ESO since 2015 that being said, yes it’s awesome! Did anyone speak about champion points? Like finally being able to utilize all of your champion points? Anything after 1600 points is useless.
I want to know what's coming for housing!! I hope were getting some more Ayleid furnishings. One thing that caught my attention during the reveal was the Ayleid ruins not being completely ransacked like they are in the rest of Tamriel.
Maaaaaaaybe an increase in housing furnishings or more items that are pre-made instead of use doing things brick by brick? I was over the moon with all the walls, doors, stairs, flower pots with plants already apart of it, etc that have come out last year. I would love more of that. Tbh...there is ONE thing stupid , silly thing that would make me ridiculously happy. A music box with an upbeat sea chanty type tune. Something that makes my hard war torn too want to stamp their boots to the beat, clap their hands, grab a partner, and sing along. All their "rowdy" pub song would put most of my toons to sleep.
Great video! A bit disappointed by the answers to story mode/overland difficulty as I love the world and questlines but find the gameplay boring. Happy that the question was asked, and it's understandable. I hope one day they may be able to look at more options for different types of players
Yeah I was a bit disappointed with the answer as well, but I understand where their creative vision lies. One of my favourite games is Valheim, and the devs of that game have been asked for *easier* content from some of their players, and they always double down and assert that they have a specific vision for the game and they are going to stick with it. Some players may not like that, but most players can respect the fact that they have a specific vision for the game and are sticking to it. I think the same can be said for ESO.
@@ArtteaGood points and well said! I'm personally a soulsborne player, so I love the challenge, and similarly, they have a vision like valhiem. ESO has everything I want in an MMO besides the questing difficulty/combat, but as you said, it's understandable considering their specific vision welcoming for all style
I feel so torn with this, as I would love to come back but as there will never be cross save I'm stuck on PS4 and hence my close to 1500 hours are basicly gone as the game is unplayable on old systems 😭 had I been wiser back then I would have started on PC in the first place.
I started back in 2015 on ps4, leveled 2 characters rank veteran 12, then 14, then 16. Had 1200cps when the cap was 480 or so. I started playing again in 2018 on pc and now I have 2000cp ( I stopped playing bunch of times ) 12 characters full geared. I'd say you could try it on pc and play it chill at the beginning, is a huge difference!😊
I dunno guys, all the achievements, mounts etc. I probably poured 1k in euros to the game as well so to get all those housing items, motifs etc. 💀 Geez makes me sweat from fear already
@@forest_hobo I'm in same shoes, but different. I deleted my PC account in 2018 (personal reasons, had to be done), but life changed and now I'm back. Playing already month and it's fun. It's sad to not have old things, character, house, but if you like the game, why not. It's not like we will have great MMO's soon. Also it's a fast to get back, because you already have knowledge about the game and now you will have addons to support you.
I've said this over the years The main problem with this game campaign open world content is it's not rememberable and the main reason for that is it's too easy it doesn't leave an impression on you you don't remember it because it doesn't kick your ass not even a little bit I'm not saying for it to be hard but man
crossplay in the open world would kinda tank the economies, so I get that, but having it for dungeons, trials, bg's and arenas should be implemented in some way. Half of pc players use a controller anyway.
I spent a grip of time learning Vet. Right when I started to really understand what was needed from me and for end game...boom! no more vet system😅😅. That is one of the hardest parts of playing beta until present in a game that has evolved so much. I would finally start figuring out mechanics , sets, etc and then...naw, we arnt doing that any more 🫥 There would be HUGE game mechanics overhauls. Not little things like balancing or adding new content. But legit overhauls. After vet, I have been very leary of bothering to understand all the nuances of skills, champion, gear, mechanics, or even runs because there is a good chance it is just going to have a major shift. I am no way saying that many of these evolutionary shifts were bad. Vet was a bad system. One Tamrial is everything. Gold silver tower did need overhauls. The first trees were stale and character stifling, and the change to the champion system is much better. It's just frustrating for me to have to relearn everything. The growing pains are real and this game will probably never stop developmentally growing, which is great. Just not for my ADHD, dyslexic, dyscalculia, and other learning disability ass 😂😂 regardless, I still will keep playing. As of now, I limp along and bother to venture into new game mechanics when I am feeling brave, but atm...I am OK being in a top tier trade guild, obsessing over my house, and farm for my decompress time after uni. Maybe this summer, when I have more time, patience, and emotional energy, I can drag out my combat matrics, try some of the newer classes, story lines, and maybe start doing harder runs. Lol I haven't even attempted maelstrom arena since it's drop or any of the newer runs since 2017 yet have them all lol Might as well do SOMETHING with the literal 1000's hours of chapter and DLCs content I haven't even experienced 😅
I cant wait for Gold Road! I dont know if its my age or what but I have all of the ESO DLC's but I dont understand why when looking online it shows I am still needing Murkmier for example I can travel and played all of the content in that area can someone please help explain to this older person 😅
I hope for crossplay thet make it so that pc and console servers just get sorta access to everyone instead of completely merging because maybe then it wouldn't be that big of a hassle
Will scribing be exclusive paid content for people who own the Gold Road chapter like Jewlery Crafting/Summerset? I am thinking about re-buying ESO & haven't played since greymoor. I was thinking about getting the Necrom Collection on it's next discount, but will everyone have access to scribing on release? Or should I wait for the Gold Road collection?
Scribing will only be available to those that purchase the Gold Road chapter, as it comes with that specific piece of content (it won't be a base game feature unfortunately). So if you're looking to purchase Necrom *and* have access to scribing, it may be best to just purchase the version of Gold Road that comes with all of the previous chapters.
Came back to ESO after 8 years and the combat immediately bucked me right off. Its the exact same thing even today. Its floaty with no impact with the enemy even on melee characters.Then we have only 6 skills we can cast. And 99% of the time its 4 buff skills, 1 ultimate and 1 spammable skill making most of the builds feel the same. Not to mention weaving will be a thing if I stick around. They really need to fix the combat feel of the game.
I am cautiously optimistic. I need to see more about the scribing before being able to make My mind up on it Honestly i had hoped for a New magic weapon, coming up on 10 years with only 1 magic based weapon (being staff for both resto and damage) it is getting rough lol
Yeah I wonder if making a new weapon will even be possible at this point - I've always wondered how they would be able to integrate the existing motif styles into a new weapon. The devs did mention that there will be a future stream that further delves into what scribing is, so I look forward to catching that stream!
@@Arttea that is My main concern as well, it would be a lot to implement but i feel like a lot of us would be okay with them maybe not doing All the motifs for a New weapon? Idk would be cool to have more choice than just a staff though! And Will for sure catch more info on the scribing!
I would love cross play or at least the ability to change between the platform's so people and myself can play with each other that have other platforms. Hopefully my explanation makes sentences.
I'll say this.. when they started talking about styles for the abilities I said "that's a crown store thing" and immediately was rebuked by the lady on the live stream. So they exceeded my expectations there. Mostly I really want to see more examples of Scribing and stoked that PVP is FINALLY getting some attention... ANY attention. lol.
I just want a rework on skill visual, some class and weapons have a band animation and visual in some skills,, we cant even see if you have casted the skill because it is small or strange
You'd expect for their 10 year anniversary to do more than the safe usual... No combat overhaul, no graphical updates, no animation updates, just more of the same that's been added up until now; definition of insanity and all that.
I'm a bit afraid of Skill crafting. I hope it's only a style thing. Or atleast I hope it's blocked in PvP. Because if they give me to many good options, I will completly break the living mess outta that.
I knew *someone* was going to have something to say about that specific remark Just remember that Rich said it, not me. I do hope that the PVP update that we're getting in Q4 is juicy
Great video, I always enjoy your humor. Personally, I thought the reveal was meh. I guess I need to see it implemented then maybe I can get excited about it. At this stage I just find some goal to achieve for myself like collecting all the craftable sets for the master crafting tables, but I just play on autopilot often while watching UA-cam or listening to music. I would love something to get me excited about ESO again. So it looks like Bosmer get thrown a bone in this chapter. Hopefully, some new armor and furnishings. 🤞🏼
I'm a bit disappointed that there will be only two new dungeons for the whole year, like last year. Also, when the story lead guy introduced himself on stream as the one responsible for Greymoor and High Isle, my expectations for Gold Road's story plummeted significantly. :D Those were rather weak chapters, imho. Other than that, I'm cautiously optimistic about the new stuff. And at least Gold Road will be pretty to look at. :)
I havent played for about 7 months, and this is unlikely to bring me back unless i get some confirmation from other raiders that the game has become more interesting. Having also experienced the balance work ZOS has done, i currently dont have faith that the scribing system will be anything genuinely enjoyable and in depth, since to do that they would need to do a lot of balancing work. Probably my main issue overall though is that there was no mention of improvement of the reward structure for endgame content, where before there were skins, sick mounts and other stuff, now we just have titles, and the shitty reskin of a much cooler mount from the cash shop. There is nothing really, sans the title (which people wont see at a glance), to display your achievements adequately, and so it takes away hugely from the immersion/hero fantasy. Also, not addressing the infinite amount of sets, how the vast majority are useless, or at the very least hugely underperforming compared to other sets which are basically just "flat increase of damage when X condition is met", combined with the hybridisation, means that every class plays basically the same, optimal builds for everyone are the same, and gameplay just feels stale. The real disappointment for me is that there are so many cool sets which have the potential to make more variety in gameplay, but are left to sit in obscurity. Forgive the massive spiel, but it boils down to this: The RPG aspects of build making and feeling accomplished for your achievements in game are hugely lacklustre for me, and from experience i dont have faith that the devs will improve on it anytime soon. Would love to be proven wrong, but until i am i will just play other stuff.
Out of curiosity, what type of achievements rewards would you like? Tbh, although i love the game regardless of how badly I play, I was kinda bummed when they stopped incorporating the dyes for achievements. It sounds super silly and lame, like, who cares about dyes? I don't know why that bummed me out so much. I agree with you tho. Getting a title isn't doing it for me. I would be happier with maybe more exclusive furniture for the harder achievements or idle animations . Maybe even another 5 item pet or an extra 30/60 item chest that is featured as an armoire or something. Maybe some pet interaction animations. I don't know, but something that will really get me excited about maybe playing a different way just to get the reward. Like, i hate fishing, but i want that damned boat, so i fish. And bring back the stupid dyes 😡👀
Did i hear something about a celebration for 10 years in game as well? 👀 someone say party? P.S - Partner showed me your content when we started playing ESO together, Amazing work
I hope them having two expansions linked together doesn't become a normal thing they keep doing. It was bad enough buying the expansion then still having to buy more dlc to get the full story but two full expansions is just bordering Bungie level greed with storytelling.
I remember a while back the devs shared that they were going to be straying away from the "year long format" of content, and I think a lot of us thought that meant that all of the content that would be released in a single year would no longer be related to one another. INSTEAD, it seems to have meant that the year-long story format has been replaced by one that spans multiple years, and yeah, I can see how that may not be appreciated by some players. I never finished the Necrom questline for example! So finding out about the major plot point for Gold Road spoiled the ending of Necrom for me
@@Arttea I haven't played Necrom either as it just looks too much like a mashup of the Morrowind expansion and the Dragonborn dlc from Skyrim and I've already played both. Was waiting for arcanist to hit the crown store to buy that separately. Now I feel like I have to buy the full expansion instead just to be able to access all the content in the next one. I love ESO but if this keeps up I'll probably end up looking at other mmos instead.
scribing being locked unless you buy the expack is lame imo. I only buy regions im interested in, while oblivion was my favorite TeS game and the expack seems cool it just sucks for people who play base game or dont keep up with the latest releases. IDK the money hungery, greedy decisions are why i keep my distance when it comes to this game.
So partial bosmer love, I like that. A purple wall of elements, I really like that. A possible pvp update in Q4, this could really make me want to play again. ~ Necrow
I am very bummed that they won’t look into balancing, where in PvP every is very tank and burst damage melt few people and still stand to do it again. 😢 I really don’t think the devs are listening and they’re trying to make it look very flashy to lure into more purchases at this point I’m so disappointed
Face roll overland difficulty is what keeps me getting away from ESO. How difficult is it to make a "Heroic" or more challenging instance by giving us the option to choose a difficulty by entering te zone or an option to witch it on or off ? I remember when Everquest 2 brought the Heroic overland difficulty choice option in. That was so fantastic and made the game feel like a complete new game because of the more difficult/challenging npc trash mobs. Suddenly food, poisons, all te skills, blocking/dodging etc really meant something while adventuring. ESO overland stuff is like 1 or 2 fast attack face rol almost all content there .l Can't even use the skills to full potential here. If ESO wants to bring in more players or bring back old players, they should really give us this option. Dungeons and that kind of stuff is not going to cut it. Many people, like me, love to do overland stuff too. I really hope they will give it a real good thought again and realise it can and will be great for ESO.
This Scribing sounds really cool, and potentially really funny. The more customization you give players, the more… *unique* their battle tactics will get.
We better get xplay eventually! "ItS A 10 YeAr oLd GaMe" so is warframe and they added xplay "MaRkEtS WiLl CrAsH" no they wont, in warframe it evened out after about a month
I really dislike how the arguments around harder overland content are laid out. The devs framing it as if it can only be easy or hard is a false dilemma. LOTRO solved this problem with landscape difficulty options that one can opt into if they want more of a challenge. It in no way splits the community or makes content harder for more casual players. Some people just can't stay engaged if they find something too easy, and they shouldn't be dismissed any more than casual players shouldn't be. For them, the vast majority of the game's content is not enjoyable and that's an issue that's not going away.
I dislike seeing the "we'll see" attitude when it comes to cross play relating to platform-specific markets, only because there's already been a game that did it, and recently too: Warframe. Cross play is easy, DE kept the actual trade markets separate at first to sort of sidestep the economy issue but came back with a pretty decent solution in my opinion. You have access to your platforms market obviously, but if you want to go from, say, xbox to PC you need to have a PC account, and merge the two together. I'm 90% of the time playing on Xbox, but now I'm not limited to just the Xbox market.

Battlemage or bust!

If the community is toxic to you, youre either playing with the wrong people or being toxic first.
@Ruhrich92 No, some people are just bad people and do rush the dungeons. Just because you had a good run doesn't mean people can't have a bad one. Your whole comment reeks on toxicity so gj proving the problem 😂

God the artwork looks amazing for this zone I'm excited
The way they mapped out the zone when looking at Tamriel makes the zone look huge! I know ESO's mapping logic doesn't always work like that but I do hope it's really big but still fleshed out of course

@@wingedhussar1453graphics overhaul and combat revamp. Also new PvP content and more non chapter locked PvE content.
The game is fine,still so much negativity.Play if you like,don’t if you thinks it’s no good.Simple.
@LegitGuy45 game graphics are fine and so is gameplay? What do u want an action mmo.go play those
lol people are allowed to dislike things while hoping those same things get better. I like the tes world and lore but this game has some serious issues that keep me from putting any time into it. Would be nice if the combat got improved and if there were more options for pvp, but even that isnt enough imo. The desisions they make even with this expack are extremely greedy and money hungery.@@Michael64425
Cant wait for them to lock so many skills appearances behind the crown store
Great informative video with some laughs! I am so hyped, I love how the game has evolved and continues to grow
Great vid! Scribing sounds super amazing! Maybe eventually Fatecarver but in a purple poison beam...
Has anyone ever asked about making motifs account-wide instead of per character?
Ehhhhh, honestly I was really hoping scribing would be something massive. A skill line you could completely fill multiple bars with and not even touch the surface of it. A way to add a lot of the missing spells or skill lines from TES.
In reality it's just an extra skill for your weapon that has more than two morphs
I do wonder what kind of primary/secondary/tertiary effects we will be able to scribe these skills with. Maybe we will get some effects that resemble the kind of things that we had in the other Elder Scrolls games that are missing from ESO 🤔
@@Arttea Maybe with a casting weapon skill line they could go all in for it, but im not super confident
So excited! Been waiting for this for sooooooooooooo long
TLDR:
Every questioned asked was basically answered the same way " idk maybe "
Thank you Rich for the clarity.
This uodate perfectly sums up the ESO experience as a whole, “lots of potential but completely underwhelming.”
Ever since launch, when I bought this game, it has forever been underwhelming. I sincerely want to love this game and have invested so much money waiting for the day the game reaches its potential, alas 10 years later, it still has not.
I liked the new feature where we can change the look of skills. I just hope it also include sound. Its a lot of good skills I never use because the sound is annoying. Wall of elements is one of them with the «ahhh» sound the character makes when casting it. It would be cool if we could customize things like that.
1. Hyped
2. This looks pretty positive for the future.
3. That sudden appearance of Jungle they mentioned on the borders with Valenwood is going to have Tiber Septim turning in his grave. He put a lot of effort into retconning that jungle.
4. Good job on the video. You managed to get all of the relevant bits from the whole twitch announcement into about 5 minutes. Very well done. 👍
Tiber Septim isn’t born yet though, he still hasn’t got rid of the forest yet
@@DA-xz6wm Tiber Septim used the power of CHIM to change history, so Cyrodil and central Tamriel was never a jungle, even though it was a jungle in the past. Getting a headache now.
But you are right, even though he had already changed the jungles from the future, he hadn't died yet, so couldn't turn in his grave. 😖
@@mt4798 He hasnt been born yet so that action hasnt happened because its far before his birth.
@@nelson_rebel3907 Its one on those wibbly wobbly timey wimey things. He changed history so that the jungle never existed in the first place. Which is why at the time of ESO the central empire area (Cyrodil et al) isn't covered in Jungle. He made the change somewhere around the start of the third era, but the effect was that jungles were redacted right back into the Merethic Era so they never existed.
ESO is full of time slips, loops, paradoxes and the occasional Dragon Break.
Woah hey...look at that cool sword skin in the screenshot at 5:03! Looks quite different than anything we've gotten so far. I honestly hope that after all they've learned from High Isle and even Necrom where they shook up the formula for ESO a bit, that they realize they can do SO MUCH more with TES and Tamriel than doing the expected for ESO. A variety of things, including even those sword skins, point in the direction of embracing a bit more creativity it seems...
Looking forward to the Gold Coast... but also broke my pea-picking heart. I was hoping that the combat pets would already be considered a 'skill' and that we could change the look of them now, is what it is, and I will look forward to seeing if they actually do it down the road.
I am totally hyped to see that Mizzik is coming back! Not to mention our favorite vampire friend!
The visuals! It looks like it's going to have a completely different feel to it, which is awesome! Seeing Bravil as a PvE town kinda makes up for my other favorite town being in a PvP zone.
Overall, it looks like a great new zone and Chapter.
You want to know what keeps me playing ESO after all these years? The lore. I like the game play, but I absolutely love the lore of the Elder Scrolls. I'm so excited.
I stopped playing a few years ago, but with all the new exciting stuff coming out now I might get back into it. Just not excited about doing a sub again, and I recall that a sub is needed in order to have enough bank space. Still, ESO has a whole lot going for it.
Fantastic video. I'm hyped for gold road
Thank you! And same here!!
Nice, thanks for feeding us well 🥺
Sad to see not companions this chapter, until Q4, makes me wonder if they'll be free in Q4 instead
Also yeah I love this, it's fun, it's lovely, I'm really hyped
Also I'm theorizing the new feature to be weather control
Infinite Archive was free and we got that in Q4 of 2023 so that would be pretty sweet if we got some free companions for Q4 in 2024 as well!
When she read the part make the open world easy broke my heart😢😢
I was a little disappointed with the answer too, but I appreciated that the dev's at least have a vision for how they want the overland content to be like and they are sticking to it, I can respect that decision.
Yeah main reason why I never came back to ESO sadly. I really liked overland content but it is just too easy
It seems like the state of the game is pretty healthy. In the new PTS they're trying to address issues with magic and martial damage effects, and I'm really excited to see if lightning staff is finally going to see the damage boost it needed to stay in the top dps. I've wanted to play a lightning sorc since my early days but i felt obligated to abandon that path after i saw that flame staff simply offered superior damage for group content.
Thanks for your good explantation about the new dlc and sometimes your work is better as from some content creator ....
I've been away from ESO for a while, and even as I played it before uninstalling I basically engaged with nothing I actually enjoyed when I first started, just caught in the daily grinding loop to no real end. However this Scribing feature is along the lines of something I've thought the game's needed for a very long time, and may actually be enough to get me to reinstall the game, at least to check it out. However, if it's tied to purchase of the chapter as opposed to being built into the base-game update I'll be sorely disappointed in ZOS (although it wouldn't surprise me)
Let me start by saying I love your videos and I’ve been playing ESO since 2015 that being said, yes it’s awesome! Did anyone speak about champion points? Like finally being able to utilize all of your champion points? Anything after 1600 points is useless.
I want to know what's coming for housing!! I hope were getting some more Ayleid furnishings. One thing that caught my attention during the reveal was the Ayleid ruins not being completely ransacked like they are in the rest of Tamriel.
Maaaaaaaybe an increase in housing furnishings or more items that are pre-made instead of use doing things brick by brick? I was over the moon with all the walls, doors, stairs, flower pots with plants already apart of it, etc that have come out last year. I would love more of that. Tbh...there is ONE thing stupid , silly thing that would make me ridiculously happy. A music box with an upbeat sea chanty type tune. Something that makes my hard war torn too want to stamp their boots to the beat, clap their hands, grab a partner, and sing along. All their "rowdy" pub song would put most of my toons to sleep.
Great video! A bit disappointed by the answers to story mode/overland difficulty as I love the world and questlines but find the gameplay boring. Happy that the question was asked, and it's understandable. I hope one day they may be able to look at more options for different types of players
Yeah I was a bit disappointed with the answer as well, but I understand where their creative vision lies. One of my favourite games is Valheim, and the devs of that game have been asked for *easier* content from some of their players, and they always double down and assert that they have a specific vision for the game and they are going to stick with it. Some players may not like that, but most players can respect the fact that they have a specific vision for the game and are sticking to it. I think the same can be said for ESO.
@@ArtteaGood points and well said! I'm personally a soulsborne player, so I love the challenge, and similarly, they have a vision like valhiem. ESO has everything I want in an MMO besides the questing difficulty/combat, but as you said, it's understandable considering their specific vision welcoming for all style
I feel so torn with this, as I would love to come back but as there will never be cross save I'm stuck on PS4 and hence my close to 1500 hours are basicly gone as the game is unplayable on old systems 😭 had I been wiser back then I would have started on PC in the first place.
I started back in 2015 on ps4, leveled 2 characters rank veteran 12, then 14, then 16. Had 1200cps when the cap was 480 or so.
I started playing again in 2018 on pc and now I have 2000cp ( I stopped playing bunch of times ) 12 characters full geared.
I'd say you could try it on pc and play it chill at the beginning, is a huge difference!😊
I jumped from PS4 to PC about 2 yrs ago. It goes fast and isn't the horrible grind I thought. Cheers
I dunno guys, all the achievements, mounts etc. I probably poured 1k in euros to the game as well so to get all those housing items, motifs etc. 💀 Geez makes me sweat from fear already
I feel you brother I lost a lot of money because of that. Also the archievements :(((( @@forest_hobo
@@forest_hobo I'm in same shoes, but different. I deleted my PC account in 2018 (personal reasons, had to be done), but life changed and now I'm back. Playing already month and it's fun. It's sad to not have old things, character, house, but if you like the game, why not. It's not like we will have great MMO's soon. Also it's a fast to get back, because you already have knowledge about the game and now you will have addons to support you.
Arttea, please, please, mention to the devs that guilds need a pvp element added to them. Guild AP, maybe guild rankings, etc.
I knew there was going to by pvp in there. Totally obvious from the obscure symbols in the thing they sent away...Never a doubt.
Great vid!! Will the doors work? ;)
I've said this over the years The main problem with this game campaign open world content is it's not rememberable and the main reason for that is it's too easy it doesn't leave an impression on you you don't remember it because it doesn't kick your ass not even a little bit I'm not saying for it to be hard but man
crossplay in the open world would kinda tank the economies, so I get that, but having it for dungeons, trials, bg's and arenas should be implemented in some way. Half of pc players use a controller anyway.
I spent a grip of time learning Vet. Right when I started to really understand what was needed from me and for end game...boom! no more vet system😅😅. That is one of the hardest parts of playing beta until present in a game that has evolved so much. I would finally start figuring out mechanics , sets, etc and then...naw, we arnt doing that any more 🫥 There would be HUGE game mechanics overhauls. Not little things like balancing or adding new content. But legit overhauls. After vet, I have been very leary of bothering to understand all the nuances of skills, champion, gear, mechanics, or even runs because there is a good chance it is just going to have a major shift. I am no way saying that many of these evolutionary shifts were bad. Vet was a bad system. One Tamrial is everything. Gold silver tower did need overhauls. The first trees were stale and character stifling, and the change to the champion system is much better. It's just frustrating for me to have to relearn everything. The growing pains are real and this game will probably never stop developmentally growing, which is great. Just not for my ADHD, dyslexic, dyscalculia, and other learning disability ass 😂😂 regardless, I still will keep playing. As of now, I limp along and bother to venture into new game mechanics when I am feeling brave, but atm...I am OK being in a top tier trade guild, obsessing over my house, and farm for my decompress time after uni. Maybe this summer, when I have more time, patience, and emotional energy, I can drag out my combat matrics, try some of the newer classes, story lines, and maybe start doing harder runs. Lol I haven't even attempted maelstrom arena since it's drop or any of the newer runs since 2017 yet have them all lol Might as well do SOMETHING with the literal 1000's hours of chapter and DLCs content I haven't even experienced 😅
I cant wait for Gold Road! I dont know if its my age or what but I have all of the ESO DLC's but I dont understand why when looking online it shows I am still needing Murkmier for example I can travel and played all of the content in that area can someone please help explain to this older person 😅
Just started playing last week and like it…
The game has now become paid to win got to love it🤣🤣🤣
I hope for crossplay thet make it so that pc and console servers just get sorta access to everyone instead of completely merging because maybe then it wouldn't be that big of a hassle
Are we gonna do a heal off you get your best heal clips vs my best heals clips and then let the people decide who is the best healer
I wonder how scribing will effect pvp
Tbh I’m just looking forward to a necro skill that will provide major sorc and brut, the rest is cool but that’ll be the first thing I make.
I just wish it wasn’t so expensive- I’ll wait for it on sale 🤷🏻♀️
Will scribing be exclusive paid content for people who own the Gold Road chapter like Jewlery Crafting/Summerset? I am thinking about re-buying ESO & haven't played since greymoor. I was thinking about getting the Necrom Collection on it's next discount, but will everyone have access to scribing on release? Or should I wait for the Gold Road collection?
Scribing will only be available to those that purchase the Gold Road chapter, as it comes with that specific piece of content (it won't be a base game feature unfortunately). So if you're looking to purchase Necrom *and* have access to scribing, it may be best to just purchase the version of Gold Road that comes with all of the previous chapters.
@@Arttea Thanks for the reply, looks like that's my plan then! Wait for the Gold Road collection to come around :)
Came back to ESO after 8 years and the combat immediately bucked me right off. Its the exact same thing even today. Its floaty with no impact with the enemy even on melee characters.Then we have only 6 skills we can cast. And 99% of the time its 4 buff skills, 1 ultimate and 1 spammable skill making most of the builds feel the same. Not to mention weaving will be a thing if I stick around. They really need to fix the combat feel of the game.
killing it vs the official marketing materials in terms of getting me hype for new ESO content as always
I've always been on the fence with getting back into ESO, and this video definitely sold me to it. And with such great humour too
Just like the last year, no dlc zone this year as well ?
oh shit time to jump back in again
I can see twin slashed getting even more silly
PS your voice is as dreamy as always 🎶🎶 👂
Haven’t played since before Necrom, I’m redownloading it lol
My bf has 448 days played on xbox im happy its improved
I am cautiously optimistic. I need to see more about the scribing before being able to make My mind up on it
Honestly i had hoped for a New magic weapon, coming up on 10 years with only 1 magic based weapon (being staff for both resto and damage) it is getting rough lol
Yeah I wonder if making a new weapon will even be possible at this point - I've always wondered how they would be able to integrate the existing motif styles into a new weapon. The devs did mention that there will be a future stream that further delves into what scribing is, so I look forward to catching that stream!
@@Arttea that is My main concern as well, it would be a lot to implement but i feel like a lot of us would be okay with them maybe not doing All the motifs for a New weapon? Idk would be cool to have more choice than just a staff though!
And Will for sure catch more info on the scribing!
would be nice for them to update their servers so that the console editions dont experience lag spikes in populated area
Hmmm assault and support scribing? Resist cold fire and/or flaming oil please :)
OH MY GOD that would be a blessing
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the live stream today made it sound like PVP may get a companion?
We are getting a pvp update AND companions in Q4. I don’t think they’ll necessarily be related.
@@Arttea you're right, I rewatched the 39 min mark of the live stream and it's definitely two different things. Thank you for the clarification 😃
I would love cross play or at least the ability to change between the platform's so people and myself can play with each other that have other platforms. Hopefully my explanation makes sentences.
I love the concept behind Scribing. I'm not very good at combat. Who knows, maybe these changes will help. ☺
I'll say this.. when they started talking about styles for the abilities I said "that's a crown store thing" and immediately was rebuked by the lady on the live stream. So they exceeded my expectations there. Mostly I really want to see more examples of Scribing and stoked that PVP is FINALLY getting some attention... ANY attention. lol.
Is scribing available for all players or only those with Gold Road expansion?
Scribing will only be available for players who purchase the Gold Road expansion.
@@Arttea damn... I guess I'll have to wait until I buy the new dlc then haha. Thank you for replying 😁♥️
I mostly solo play, so more exploreable stuff would be great.
where was cyrodill when the westweald fell!
I just want a rework on skill visual, some class and weapons have a band animation and visual in some skills,, we cant even see if you have casted the skill because it is small or strange
Nice.
You'd expect for their 10 year anniversary to do more than the safe usual... No combat overhaul, no graphical updates, no animation updates, just more of the same that's been added up until now; definition of insanity and all that.
I'm a bit afraid of Skill crafting. I hope it's only a style thing. Or atleast I hope it's blocked in PvP. Because if they give me to many good options, I will completly break the living mess outta that.
All this and you can get a LOON bird as a Pet🦆, blue beak and everything! 🎉Am loving this game so far.
They’ve been listening to the community? I guess that’s probably true, they’ve neglected pvp for so long there’s not many pvpers left.
I knew *someone* was going to have something to say about that specific remark Just remember that Rich said it, not me. I do hope that the PVP update that we're getting in Q4 is juicy
Most mornings is an hour long wait to get into Grey Host....
@@Arttea same. Might bring me back to the game. Either way great video as always, I haven’t played since lost depths but still enjoy your content.
Awesome news, cant wait. Great video thx
Tbh I only wish there are more players in eso
Skill bars and bank storage can only contain so much....
I can’t wait to turn all my archanist skills yellow and pretend like I’m a Templar again, but one that doesn’t suck.
New to your channel! Very nice job!! A lot of work goes into these and it shows
A bow healing bosmer might be viable now
Seems auction house and class change token are not even in their lists…
Great video, I always enjoy your humor.
Personally, I thought the reveal was meh. I guess I need to see it implemented then maybe I can get excited about it. At this stage I just find some goal to achieve for myself like collecting all the craftable sets for the master crafting tables, but I just play on autopilot often while watching UA-cam or listening to music. I would love something to get me excited about ESO again.
So it looks like Bosmer get thrown a bone in this chapter. Hopefully, some new armor and furnishings. 🤞🏼
I'm a bit disappointed that there will be only two new dungeons for the whole year, like last year.
Also, when the story lead guy introduced himself on stream as the one responsible for Greymoor and High Isle, my expectations for Gold Road's story plummeted significantly. :D Those were rather weak chapters, imho.
Other than that, I'm cautiously optimistic about the new stuff. And at least Gold Road will be pretty to look at. :)
I havent played for about 7 months, and this is unlikely to bring me back unless i get some confirmation from other raiders that the game has become more interesting. Having also experienced the balance work ZOS has done, i currently dont have faith that the scribing system will be anything genuinely enjoyable and in depth, since to do that they would need to do a lot of balancing work.
Probably my main issue overall though is that there was no mention of improvement of the reward structure for endgame content, where before there were skins, sick mounts and other stuff, now we just have titles, and the shitty reskin of a much cooler mount from the cash shop. There is nothing really, sans the title (which people wont see at a glance), to display your achievements adequately, and so it takes away hugely from the immersion/hero fantasy.
Also, not addressing the infinite amount of sets, how the vast majority are useless, or at the very least hugely underperforming compared to other sets which are basically just "flat increase of damage when X condition is met", combined with the hybridisation, means that every class plays basically the same, optimal builds for everyone are the same, and gameplay just feels stale. The real disappointment for me is that there are so many cool sets which have the potential to make more variety in gameplay, but are left to sit in obscurity.
Forgive the massive spiel, but it boils down to this: The RPG aspects of build making and feeling accomplished for your achievements in game are hugely lacklustre for me, and from experience i dont have faith that the devs will improve on it anytime soon. Would love to be proven wrong, but until i am i will just play other stuff.
Out of curiosity, what type of achievements rewards would you like? Tbh, although i love the game regardless of how badly I play, I was kinda bummed when they stopped incorporating the dyes for achievements. It sounds super silly and lame, like, who cares about dyes? I don't know why that bummed me out so much. I agree with you tho. Getting a title isn't doing it for me. I would be happier with maybe more exclusive furniture for the harder achievements or idle animations . Maybe even another 5 item pet or an extra 30/60 item chest that is featured as an armoire or something. Maybe some pet interaction animations. I don't know, but something that will really get me excited about maybe playing a different way just to get the reward. Like, i hate fishing, but i want that damned boat, so i fish. And bring back the stupid dyes 😡👀
Did i hear something about a celebration for 10 years in game as well? 👀 someone say party?
P.S - Partner showed me your content when we started playing ESO together, Amazing work
They need to stop trying to balance so much I hope they make it where you can stay in scion form 😭 i love vampires this update sounds awesome though
5:01 caught me off guard lmao 🤣 👌
I hope them having two expansions linked together doesn't become a normal thing they keep doing. It was bad enough buying the expansion then still having to buy more dlc to get the full story but two full expansions is just bordering Bungie level greed with storytelling.
I remember a while back the devs shared that they were going to be straying away from the "year long format" of content, and I think a lot of us thought that meant that all of the content that would be released in a single year would no longer be related to one another. INSTEAD, it seems to have meant that the year-long story format has been replaced by one that spans multiple years, and yeah, I can see how that may not be appreciated by some players. I never finished the Necrom questline for example! So finding out about the major plot point for Gold Road spoiled the ending of Necrom for me
@@Arttea I haven't played Necrom either as it just looks too much like a mashup of the Morrowind expansion and the Dragonborn dlc from Skyrim and I've already played both. Was waiting for arcanist to hit the crown store to buy that separately. Now I feel like I have to buy the full expansion instead just to be able to access all the content in the next one. I love ESO but if this keeps up I'll probably end up looking at other mmos instead.
So keen! now to get through and enjoy all the other DLC quests before this releases :)
scribing being locked unless you buy the expack is lame imo. I only buy regions im interested in, while oblivion was my favorite TeS game and the expack seems cool it just sucks for people who play base game or dont keep up with the latest releases. IDK the money hungery, greedy decisions are why i keep my distance when it comes to this game.
So partial bosmer love, I like that.
A purple wall of elements, I really like that.
A possible pvp update in Q4, this could really make me want to play again.
~ Necrow
I am very bummed that they won’t look into balancing, where in PvP every is very tank and burst damage melt few people and still stand to do it again. 😢 I really don’t think the devs are listening and they’re trying to make it look very flashy to lure into more purchases at this point I’m so disappointed
I just want them to add new weapons man, I just want a spear, please just give us some new weapon classes.
Face roll overland difficulty is what keeps me getting away from ESO. How difficult is it to make a "Heroic" or more challenging instance by giving us the option to choose a difficulty by entering te zone or an option to witch it on or off ? I remember when Everquest 2 brought the Heroic overland difficulty choice option in. That was so fantastic and made the game feel like a complete new game because of the more difficult/challenging npc trash mobs. Suddenly food, poisons, all te skills, blocking/dodging etc really meant something while adventuring. ESO overland stuff is like 1 or 2 fast attack face rol almost all content there .l Can't even use the skills to full potential here. If ESO wants to bring in more players or bring back old players, they should really give us this option. Dungeons and that kind of stuff is not going to cut it. Many people, like me, love to do overland stuff too. I really hope they will give it a real good thought again and realise it can and will be great for ESO.
Custom skills appearances gonna be laggy
ESO Battle Royale confirmed?
Can't wait for scribing to be nerfed or be useless.
This Scribing sounds really cool, and potentially really funny. The more customization you give players, the more… *unique* their battle tactics will get.
Yeah I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of wacky but viable builds the community comes up with!
We better get xplay eventually!
"ItS A 10 YeAr oLd GaMe" so is warframe and they added xplay
"MaRkEtS WiLl CrAsH" no they wont, in warframe it evened out after about a month
I really dislike how the arguments around harder overland content are laid out. The devs framing it as if it can only be easy or hard is a false dilemma. LOTRO solved this problem with landscape difficulty options that one can opt into if they want more of a challenge. It in no way splits the community or makes content harder for more casual players. Some people just can't stay engaged if they find something too easy, and they shouldn't be dismissed any more than casual players shouldn't be. For them, the vast majority of the game's content is not enjoyable and that's an issue that's not going away.
Interested to see if they will address the countless balance issues pvp has.
Just want to be able to sell stuff without a guild or paying dumb guild dues where I do not earn more than the cost of dues.
I dislike seeing the "we'll see" attitude when it comes to cross play relating to platform-specific markets, only because there's already been a game that did it, and recently too: Warframe. Cross play is easy, DE kept the actual trade markets separate at first to sort of sidestep the economy issue but came back with a pretty decent solution in my opinion. You have access to your platforms market obviously, but if you want to go from, say, xbox to PC you need to have a PC account, and merge the two together. I'm 90% of the time playing on Xbox, but now I'm not limited to just the Xbox market.
