I think you misinterpreted what they said for the crown store companion cost. They did say it would be free to ESO+ subscribers. But I don’t believe they meant it will make the cost zero crowns. I’m pretty sure they meant it will be handled like DLC currently is for ESO+ subscribers. As in they will not need to purchase them from the crown store to access them if you have ESO+. But, if your ESO+ runs out, you lose the access unless you purchased it ON TOP of your subscription, for however many crowns they charge. You wouldn’t lose progress, but would lose access to summoning them. Kind of like how you keep DLC zone progress if you lose your subscription, but can no longer visit that zone. Unless you purchased it. DLC content is not free to purchase to ESO+ members outside of small gifts like paintings and statuettes. It’s just free ACCESS.

[@2ANYS]

@@thesimonjadis And my comment mentioned that. I believe that’s the incorrect interpretation. ESO plus subscribers have never been given something at no cost since the game was released besides those small furnishings. I doubt they’re going to start now. Not only would it piss too many people off, they’re just not that generous. And anyone who’s been around since launch like myself knows how DLC and ESO plus works. And it’s not to give out free DLC. That is why they give you crowns to spend in the store with your subscription, so you can buy extras. DLC otherwise has ALWAYS been free ACCESS, not free PURCHASE for subscribers.

[@Barlin-d2j]

This patch does not fix any of the PvP-proplems, instead some stuff gets replaced, without asking the players first (and new problems will be added, that is 100% guaranteed judging by ZOSs former patches and DLCs). New maps won´t fix the underlying balancing/p2w problems, nor will it fix the glitches and laggy servers. The new scribing skill and eso+ rewards are just more benefits for people paying more real money. Taking away the choices what bg-mode to play only resulted in people not playing flag/relic or ball-games but instead going after kills. The old bgs going away (for some time) also makes this patch a change but not an addition content-wise. New PvP rewards/sets are good but they will probably suck since all good sets in eso hide behind paywalls. Cyro needs changes/fixes urgently - but it didn´t happen. All in all it is what I expected from ZOS = disappointing work. The game is just getting worse and worse with each year.

[@nickmylo8703]

[@Barlin-d2j]

@@nickmylo8703 The last few chapters/DLCs contained op-stuff that only got "fixed"/nerfed right before a new chapter/DLC with op stuff gets released (examples: Oakensoul, Arcanist, tarnished, Scribing). Then there are also the skills that you can buy for real money: Either level the riding skills for a 180 real days daily, for each character, or buy the skill in seconds with a swipe of ur credit card. Same with crafting research and all the other skills and skyshards for secondary characters. Real money will also make it possible to play races your alliance normally does not have access to. The publisher also sells crowns for real money which will be traded in game for items, ingame gold etc. Summary: You can buy, directly or indirectly, pretty much everything in ESO for real money. Best gear hides behind paywalls. Access to jewelry: paywall, access to mythics: paywall, access to scribing: paywall. You want to be emperor ? You can hire people with ingame-gold/crowns to (help you) get it ;) So... I am curious, how is that not p2w ? Get the base game for 5 dollars and see how the experience will be...

And finally regarding skillpoints/skyshards you need to first unlock them normally and then you can buy them. I mean who wants to spend another for example 3 months to grind them again for alts. Not that i will ever pay for skyshards but just saying. Edit: and also regarding eso+ i play since beta only the last 2 years i paid for eso+ and only for a month. Up until then i just used the free trials they give each year. And i got gold and mats just fine. Sure for the mats you need to manage your space better but that's why you have alts and storage besides the bank. My point is you can make due without eso+.

[@Barlin-d2j]

@@nickmylo8703 Not to this extend. ZOS is releasing knowingly op/broken stuff and then nerfes it to sh*t right before new op stuff is released. Access to additional skills that can be used in PvP is pretty much a big a No-Go for any MMO. Skills are usually based on the base game so that the differences in PvP are not that big. Zos knew that, thats why former DLCs only introduced new PVE skills but never PvP.... Nope, Oakensoul gives you more buffs than most classes have access to, without any work or timer. No skill needed to get those all those buffs in PvP - and the current version is already nerfed. I recommend to you to go into bgs right after new chapters get released.... Because for the last few years whoever bought the latest chapter had massive advantages there for months. I made an arcanist when it was released and went into a bg: zero deaths and 40 kills with blue/purple gear with no problem. It is a joke. Tarnished and scribing is everywhere atm - with tarnished and co you can do pretty much "one-shots" in pvp- with just one attack/button. The scribing skills give more benefits than the normal skills and the dots are spammed in PvP. As if that isn´t enough the upcoming patch adds another scribing skill: which has no cost and will increase your damage ;) ------------------------------------------------------------ Yes it makes a difference. The difference is: Fair play. Without it games can not survive. Imagine playing chess and your enemy just buys half of your pawns- hey, they would be gone anyway sooner or later. What difference does it make ? "I mean who wants to spend another for example 3 months to grind them again for alts." Noone wants to grind riding, crafting research, skyshards or mages guild etc. (all over)- and yet this publisher makes everyone do it, with the exception of people paying real money of course. And grinding those on new chars is often a must-have for builds. ;) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Sure, u can do without eso+ by buying more accounts for item-storage. Will it be easier than eso+ ? nope. Will eso+ give you more gold, APs etc for the same amount of work ? yes. I don´t get your point about eso+ here... --------------------------------------------------------------------- I mentioned several more points regarding p2w, which conveniently got skipped. I find it funny how you seem to defend this companies behaviour, but at the same time you clearly think that ESO is not worth a monthly subscription. You bought additional accounts (and probably made lots of storage guilds ?) and waste time in the game mailing/sorting items by hand - just so you do not have to pay this company a few dollars more for their great game and service.

​@QziQza that's pretty much the gist of it, players are fed up of the same repetitive content drop formula and it's becoming increasingly clear that ZOS doesn't know or care for what players actually want Players have been asking for more furnishing slots for years and all we got in 43 was more IA maps and housing tours, neither of which were asked for Now in 44 we're getting changes to BG that nobody asked for, a non-binary companion that the majority didn't ask for and some new overpriced houses, one of which is meant to be used to show off trophies but can't because there aren't enough furnishing slots I'm one of the many players who will not be renewing ESO+ because I'm fed up of ZOS blatantly ignoring us in favour of things they want and think we want

[@albundy7991]

Lag is because of the calculation per second in a specific area in the map, By reducing the map there will be more area with lag then with out. Right now lag is only heavy near zergs and large ball groups and leaves more map with out lag.

[@Ookami20]

Man Battlegrounds is just fun for ESO they should make that the main focus for PvP it’s honestly the best MMO PvP I’ve ever played and it makes me think I might want to come back solely for that lol

[@JLawL]

The 4v4v4 format is what made battlegrounds fun and unique without needing to be heavily balanced upon. Making a team v team format now means they will need to do sweeping nerfs across just about every class and set bonus in the game. 3 teams in a free for all lends itself to a more care free form when it comes to balance. And since ZoS tends to hit the PvE side of things when they balance for PvP and visa versa, this is also going to effect PvE players. Now, if they can pull this off without having to completely destroy the majority of what makes ESO classes feel special, I'm all for it. What I do know on the other hand, is that rated battlegrounds in WoW, and even more so, World vs World in GW2, fundamentally changed the way the entire game is balanced in a negative way, so I'm not holding my breath. Rated PvP historically has brought negative impacts to all forms of PvE in literally every MMO and/or sandbox style game that has ever existed. The 3200 post which blew up overnight on Reddit supports this.

[@navaac_9421]

It boosts sales in 2 ways, lgbtq spend more money per household and shop more. The second way is a gamble - they garner attention from backlash and get more coverage through attention algorithms, but this could go either way. They may suffer a loss, but will attempt to rectify it with discounted store items. Most of these decisions are made by rich fat guys in meetings who don't know what eso is about.

The big PvP update is here and it is literally removing a team from BG's and new BG maps..... But hey woke DEI companion in the cash shop, isn't that exciting? Honestly the woke non-sense is the minor of the problems and is a discussion for another day. The bigger more obvious one I wanna talk about is the fact ZoS is selling companions in the cash shop now. Seriously this greed and predatory marketing ZoS has been doing has gotta stop cause I honestly believe at this point ZoS is gonna start selling item sets in the crown store. Mean they already paywall the meta sets behind DLC so isn't to much of a leap in logic to assume they'll just start outright selling them in the cash shop.

[@emrek99205]

11:11 4000-5000 Crowns is more than what it would cost to buy the DLC in which the companions are found. Remember, if you aren't ESO+ then you don't have access to companions even during the free ESO+ trials. Only way you can get a companion is to either be ESO+ or have purchased the DLC. Most of these DLC are about 2000-3500 Crowns so paying twice that for *_just_* the companion seems dumb. A better price would be (free!) about 600-1200 each as paying ~2000 gives you two companions and the entire zone plus quests.
