The Elder Scrolls Online

The new subclass feature sounds awesome. I've been thinking about coming back for a fresh playthrough, last time I played was right after One Tamriel.

It looks like buying the game is even more complex now. They added some yearly pass content. And you STILL can't buy an edition that includes the original DLCs?
Honestly if they did away with the level scaling I would play again. It's stupid that rat is the easiest to kill at lvl 1
 
Supposed to be something they're looking at eventually.

  • Increasing the difficulty of standard overworld combat
They're going to add optional methods of increasing overworld difficulty at some point they've said. It's far too easy both while leveling and at the cap, big bad quest boss they'd been building up for the last five hours of quests dies to a stray breeze from you! Yay! :p. It's currently in "prototype", but it is finally coming.

No, you'd either need to be subscribing to ESO or buy them with Crown Gems. I believe the new yearly pass style is supposed to alleviate some of it since its future DLC is included in the purchase. On one side if you plan to do any sort of crafting in the game ESO+ is nearly mandatory due to the sheer number of crafting materials. On another side, a lot of the DLC is extra dungeons. Nice to have but not necessarily mandatory just to play through stories.

They have well monetized getting money out of the content, unfortunately for players.

Your Labors Are Blessed During the Zeal of Zenithar In-Game Event

Honor the Trader God and he shall honor you with bonus rewards during this returning in-game event!


Honest Rewards for Honest Work​

The Zeal of Zenithar in-game event returns on June 26 at 10AM EDT, and it runs until July 8 at 10AM EDT. To get started, pick up the introductory quest "The Unrefusable Offer" from Amminus Varo at the Belkarth festival grounds or acquire the free quest starter from the Crown Store.
Having trouble locating Belkarth? Don’t worry; just head over to the nearest Impresario tent and take the nearby portal. Upon finishing the intro quest for the first time, you unlock the daily quest, "Honest Toil." This daily quest is available immediately if you have completed “The Unrefusable Offer” in a previous year.

During the event, the first time you complete the daily quest each day, you receive a Zenithar’s Sublime Parcel box as a bonus reward. Each subsequent completion of the “Honest Toil” quest during that same day rewards you with a Zenithar’s Delightful Parcel box.

In addition, you can earn Zenithar’s Delightful Parcel boxes by participating in the following activities:

  • Completing the introductory quest “The Unrefusable Offer”
  • Completing any Master Writ, per discipline, per account, each day
    • Subsequent Master Writs of the same discipline won’t provide further boxes until the daily reset
  • First daily Crafting Writ, per account, completed each day
  • Each time you defeat a world boss while grouped with a player who is in at least one of your player guilds
  • Each time you complete a world event while grouped with a player who is in at least one of your player guilds

You also have a chance to earn a Zenithar’s Delightful Parcel box when conquering each round of a group-based arena challenge or completing a Cycle in the Infinite Archive while teamed up with a player who is a member of at least one of your guilds. Additionally, the final round’s reward chest contains a guaranteed parcel, as will Tho’at Replicanum’s reward chest.

Toil and trade are the purview of Zenithar

If honest labor isn’t to your liking (scandalous!), you may discover parcels scattered across Tamriel by pickpocketing citizens and looting strongboxes or Thieves Troves. They say crime doesn’t pay, but the determined can prove them wrong!

Within either parcel box (Sublime or Delightful), there is a chance to receive the following rewards:

  • A tradeable outfit style page for the new Zenithar Battlesmith outfit style armor
    • If you’ve already earned a Zenithar Battlesmith style page for the day, you have a chance to instead get a style page for a past Zeal of Zenithar event set such as the Gold Road Dragoon outfit style armor, High Rock Spellsword outfit style armor, Kwama Miner’s Kit armor outfit style, or Ashen Militia weapon outfit style.
  • Durable crafting materials, provisioning ingredients, alchemy reagents, runestones, or a motif style item
  • Crafting boosters
    • Chance to drop a gold-tier booster or a research time scroll
  • Furnishing or provisioning recipes
  • Repair kits, siege repair kits, or a small chance for an Impresario Group Repair Kit
  • Treasure Maps, Survey Reports, Imperial City vault keys, Companion gear, or a random currency pouch
    • The random currency pouch can contain either gold or Tel Var stones; there is an extremely small chance that you discover a jackpot that allots 100,000 of the associated currency!
      • The earnings from this pouch, jackpot or otherwise, are unaffected by any form of currency boosts

Forge yourself in combat with the Zenithar Battlesmith outfit style

Both boxes can contain any of the above, but the Sublime Parcel boxes provide a higher chance to contain the more valuable rewards.


Your Work Makes Nirn Go Round​

These boxes won’t be the only bonus rewards you can enjoy during the Zeal of Zenithar event. Throughout the duration, you’ll benefit from the following modified global in-game effects:

  • Wayshrine travel costs are reduced by 75%
  • Repair costs on vendors are reduced by 50%
  • Crafting inspiration gain from all sources is increased by 100%
  • Vendor prices across Tamriel are reduced by 10%
    • These include:
      • Vendors that sell items for gold, AP, or Tel Var stones, including the Golden Vendor
      • Houses purchasable for gold


Event Tickets & Vendors​

If you participate in the Zeal of Zenithar event, you also receive three Event Tickets the first time you complete the “Honest Toil” quest each day. By the end of the event, you could collect a whopping 39 tickets!

Thankfully, the Impresario is well-stocked to help you make good use of your earnings. You’ll even have your first opportunity to complete the Robes of Truth and Law costume with the release of its third fragment.

I think about coming back a lot but I just keep remembering how generic the entire game feels after a while. It all just kinda blends together, every quest feels the same, the combat always the same, your character never gets stronger or weaker. It's just a pretty flat game across the board.
But it is massive, and very lore heavy. Probably a lot of fun for new players.

Also they made it even harder to buy the game now with seasonal content, DLCs, and expansions. I own the Zenimax Store version of the game and all the keys online are for the Steam version which means I will have to over-pay.
