I mean we already have what 6 companions? We can only have 1 active at a time. I feel no big loss skipping out on these 2. Does it set a bad precedent for future companions? Probably. But that also depends on how many people actually buy them as well. But either way, we still already have 6. We still can only use 1 at a time. And unless companions get a massive buff, they aren't worth buying or crying about not having anyway.
Correct me if I'm wrong but do you not need to get the previous companions ? Because if you needed the previous DLCs to have access to the companions, how is it different for them to put this behind ESO plus instead of a full DLC?

What do you expect? They added a non binary character so its not really surprising that they are catering to furry lovers, probably they are some themselves...
I suppose we hope, but looking at patterns from the past.. it isn't going to happen. I suppose there is always the gender neutral companion to look forward to. :0
We finally get our first Altmer companion (including merchant/banker/etc) and they are just another DK? They should have been a Psijic using the Psijic skill line that already exists in the game. A complete waste of an opportunity.
Look I know this is bait and I shouldn't take it but really, how is making a non binary character a marketing ploy? There have been non binary characters in TES lore since before ESO and non binary people irl for thousands of years. It's just the gender, it's not a big deal. They still have a personality. Hell, people said this sort of thing about putting female characters in video games decades ago and look how archaic and silly that is in hindsight.
@@Jack-pt6bo you misunderstand me. I miss when they advertised characters as characters, not by what gender race or whatever else they are. I don't care that this new companion is non binary but zos marketing it as such comes off as pandering
@@DoctorPotassium They aren't 'marketing' them as NB. They're just saying they're NB. Like how they say they're a high elf, or the other is a male khajiit. I think it's a good thing that the LGBT+ folks get to have their own rep. Think about how it feels cool to have someone like you in a game that you can relate to. Like a badass dude, or a badass girl. I'd guess it's just like that for NBs. I think everyone should get that cool feeling, don't you? Doesn't matter if there's not as many NBs as men and women. Nice to feel included wherever you go 👍 I don't think it's catering or pandering. Just adding a NB person, no reason not to. They exist.

@@gregrice8546 You do realize new players come into ESO every day, right? That, the existence of RNG, not being in the mood for pvp 24/7, there are many reasons people might not have the full set. But congrats to you for thinking only about your own collection i guess?
not to be critical, but i am not vibing with the transforming chaos ball shenanigans or power ups. they coulve done something much for subtle, since 8v8 is already a chaotic enough environment. not sure if this mode will be queued by casual pvpers only or queued by no one since it requires a lot of players, and all pvpers will be in 4v4.
Yeah fr I don't fw the power ups either, I really don't want to fight tarnished nightmare MagSorcs, NB gankers, and corrosive MagDKs with power ups that shit is going to be so busted, I'm very mixed when it comes to this PvP update, I do not like that they are splitting the BG playerbase, or the power ups as well, but I like the new maps and the fact that it's only 2 teams now, but sadly still not update to Cyrodil
RIP capture the relic. Idk about the 8v8 bg. We already know that these premade ball groups are going to ruin it. They’ll have 2 tanks and 2 healers along with 4 broken dps builds with 40k hp. The 3 teams kept things interesting and allowed more strategic play. While the extra maps sound great, everything else I’m skeptical about it.
Lmao, I was wondering why they didnt add the companions when West Weald came out. I am legitimately curious to see if anyone is going to buy these companions. Its been 2 years that they havent added a second dlc/dungeon pack and they are now selling something that should've been included with West Weald. They are wiping their ass with the 2 billion they made.
If you are eso+ you automaticlly have them. If i'm not mistaken this will be a way to ease eso players into buying them directly in crowns next chapter. This is dangerously close to pay to win for me.
@silaf1496 I would argue that unless the new companions are more powerful than the previous ones, then it isn't really p2w. Plus you also have to remember all previous companions required certain dlc to be unlocked. However, it does suck this one requires eso + membership instead of dlc. Idk why they went with that direction.
Speaking of new companions with different abilities, really holding out hope for companions that at least have part of their skills coming from werewolf, vampire, Psijic order, etc. or maybe one day they give us the ability to turn our companions vampire or werewolf 👀
Damn this game needs some testosterone, it’s about a massive war and a dude who fights a god because he got his soul stolen while trying to recreate the Reman Empire. Do we really have one dev who PvPs? And he thinks we want to turn into Greymoor assets?
Welp there goes the pvp update we all where waiting for oh wow 🤯. No cyrodill update is just stabbing the pvp players when everyone was hoping for at least a touch up.
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.
@@rickallen8767 Doubtful. We’ll see, but that’s not the way they made it sound. And that would mark the first time in ESO history we got more than a furnishing for free just for being a subscriber.
@@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.
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 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...
@@nickmylo8703 Dude Oakensoul was a pay to win item. It literally changed how the game was played and it self was massive power creep and you needed not one not two BUT THREE separate dlcs to access it.
@@Barlin-d2j come on dudes isn't that the case in any game that has expansions? If you want the new things in that expansion you gotta buy it. Besides oakensoul just gives you what you already have from your skills. Regarding riding skill it makes no difference if you buy it or grind it everyday. It's not like there is racing in the game. 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+.
@@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. A true fan

@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
They should be quitting because of zos shitty database code, they literally can't do anything to the game without destroying it because of their shitty database
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.
@@ThomasTDlrk They wouldn't add it if they didnt think it would make them more money. Everyone here blaming non-binary people when they're just the target of a ploy to nickel and dime players.

Same. I liked how it wasn't just a WOW BG ripoff, horde vs alliance...and you get rewarded from getting 1st or 2nd. I get on a lot of losing teams (still new to the game so maybe it's partly me), and every now and then I get on a kick ass team...but it's nice that if I know our team doesn't have a chance against the top team we can still have a chance at 2nd. Sad to see them dropping this even temporarily.
I want to return to this game but coming from xbox where I spent thousands of hours and 100s of dollars spent, moved to pc and not being able to bring all my stuff hurts.

Game died for me. $15 a month for repetitive content. Build your character, get an update, rebuild your character again, add a new feature or land, rebuild character. It’s just tiring at this point. If you’re new to a trial prepare to be shunned, environment went from fun to toxic. Now we got non-binary updates.geez
I have full gold and have played for ...years.. and I still wish they would add pet and mounts as drops or rewards for elongated quests such as in WoW. Re-downloading it now to see what has changed... if they changed my skills... It's dead to me. 😂😂😅
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.
The only insane thing about this update is how many years zos has gone ignoring the people who keep their lights on... Dont clickbait, dude. You can do better, ive seen you do better.
So uhh new battlegrounds maps that no one asked for and a crown store showcase. Still, the worst part of this stream was that zos couldn't find a better person to represent pvp players that a mainly pve player who only zergs when going into cyrodiil..
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.
What's hilarious is that the high elf literally looks like how people think non-binary folk look and that's not a compliment High elf literally looks like a stereotypical spoof
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.
It would be really awesome if they created a guild for tanks and healers to level up. And that pets could be useful like companions even if they are non combat. Even having a small buff is better than nothing
If you were in any way slightly i to housing, you wouldn't say that. Housing is one of the most neglected elements of this game - outside of new cash grap houses that releases semi regularly.
The housing can be fun, I like the idea that the game can be whatever you want it to be. But you're right, there's so much dei nonsense in it and it gets worse every year
I absolutely hate the fact that they are trying to push the woke narrative here as well. What a load of bs. If you’re into that its perfectly fine I just hate that they try to shove ideals down our throats through games. Also battlegrounds player distribution has always been absolute garbage. I’ve been teamed up with teams that just absolutely wreck the competition or the opposite more times than i can count. It’s ridiculously unbalanced and people just ditch mid match and your team never replenishes just leaving you out to dry. It’s one of the worse pvp games i’ve played and boy have i played plenty of them…
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
For your information. In TESO is not agenda. Is the cycle of life in Nirn. Maybe if you had take time to study the vast ESO lore you could post a logic phrase. For example argonians literally are genderless and sexless. It is the Hist who choose what an argonian will be in the next life, can be male o female. Sithis rules: All things need change, all comeback to void and get reshaped there to reborn. And the Hist are genderless, they are just the Hist. Another example are the Khajiit, literally are the moons who choose what a Khajiit will be not only male or female but what kind of Khajiit [there are a lot of them]. Elfs in general, specially those very comitted with magic arts can reshape their whole biology, sex is secondary stuff , Manimarco for example choose being a lich; the Great Telvanni Mages literally are asexual, they have sex just for "formal" business cuz they are commited to be the great mages; the Dwarvens/dwemmer were literally tranhumanist, for them the technology can replace the body, like Sotha Sil did it, sex for dwarvens/dwemmer was a "annoying" stuff to do; the Wood Elfs are more commited with animal forms that male/female forms. The Big Hunt is a probe of that. Sloads, my gosh another magic frikis, sex for them is the last thing, all they want is power. Finally the Daedra, the are literally not genderless but formless, they are divinity forces, they can choose any form, some prefer a male form, some prefer a female form, others like Periyte and Moras prefer other forms. This is OFICIAL LORE, from 30, 25, 20 years ago. Not a lefty woke bull$shit 2020 agenda. That's the way all work in Nirn from the beggining, if you don´t like on 2024 maybe you are new on ESO.
I hope they swap out the different teams because I think there's rewards tied to each of the teams like style pages, that city map is probably going to be Bravil, the cost of the companions couldn't be more than 1 months ESO access, otherwise people will buy 1 month, get the companions and cancel
So.. reworking battlegrounds from 3 teams to just 2 teams is.. "pvp content" nowadays? :D Lmao so dead game. Same old low effort from Devs, so many years nothing new for pvp and now.. not even anything new, they gonna use same maps/assets and just take 1 team away and make it 2 teams version. legit lol
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.

of course they'd advertise one of the companions as non binary what happened to character traits just being character traits and not marketing ploys
Look I know this is bait and I shouldn't take it but really, how is making a non binary character a marketing ploy? There have been non binary characters in TES lore since before ESO and non binary people irl for thousands of years. It's just the gender, it's not a big deal. They still have a personality.
Hell, people said this sort of thing about putting female characters in video games decades ago and look how archaic and silly that is in hindsight.
Oh one is nonbinary... that's pretty dumb
@@Jack-pt6bo you misunderstand me. I miss when they advertised characters as characters, not by what gender race or whatever else they are. I don't care that this new companion is non binary but zos marketing it as such comes off as pandering
@@DoctorPotassium They aren't 'marketing' them as NB. They're just saying they're NB. Like how they say they're a high elf, or the other is a male khajiit.
I think it's a good thing that the LGBT+ folks get to have their own rep. Think about how it feels cool to have someone like you in a game that you can relate to. Like a badass dude, or a badass girl. I'd guess it's just like that for NBs. I think everyone should get that cool feeling, don't you? Doesn't matter if there's not as many NBs as men and women. Nice to feel included wherever you go 👍 I don't think it's catering or pandering. Just adding a NB person, no reason not to. They exist.

So nothing huge? Click bait as usual, enjoy your down vote
not to be critical, but i am not vibing with the transforming chaos ball shenanigans or power ups. they coulve done something much for subtle, since 8v8 is already a chaotic enough environment. not sure if this mode will be queued by casual pvpers only or queued by no one since it requires a lot of players, and all pvpers will be in 4v4.
Yeah fr I don't fw the power ups either, I really don't want to fight tarnished nightmare MagSorcs, NB gankers, and corrosive MagDKs with power ups that shit is going to be so busted, I'm very mixed when it comes to this PvP update, I do not like that they are splitting the BG playerbase, or the power ups as well, but I like the new maps and the fact that it's only 2 teams now, but sadly still not update to Cyrodil
Dei hire companions now ??
Next they will tell us 'it' identifies as an orc.
Ugh I know!!! I want this crap OUT of my comfort game
RIP capture the relic. Idk about the 8v8 bg. We already know that these premade ball groups are going to ruin it. They’ll have 2 tanks and 2 healers along with 4 broken dps builds with 40k hp. The 3 teams kept things interesting and allowed more strategic play. While the extra maps sound great, everything else I’m skeptical about it.
Keen eye for heavy sacks is good
But Isobel's perk tells you there is heavy sacks next to you 😢
Lmao, I was wondering why they didnt add the companions when West Weald came out.
I am legitimately curious to see if anyone is going to buy these companions.
Its been 2 years that they havent added a second dlc/dungeon pack and they are now selling something that should've been included with West Weald.
They are wiping their ass with the 2 billion they made.
If you are eso+ you automaticlly have them. If i'm not mistaken this will be a way to ease eso players into buying them directly in crowns next chapter. This is dangerously close to pay to win for me.
@@silaf1496pay to win for a companion is the dumbest shit I have ever heard, companions are fucking useless
@silaf1496 I would argue that unless the new companions are more powerful than the previous ones, then it isn't really p2w. Plus you also have to remember all previous companions required certain dlc to be unlocked. However, it does suck this one requires eso + membership instead of dlc. Idk why they went with that direction.
I’m super excited for the new Khajiit companion!!!
Speaking of new companions with different abilities, really holding out hope for companions that at least have part of their skills coming from werewolf, vampire, Psijic order, etc. or maybe one day they give us the ability to turn our companions vampire or werewolf 👀
I haven’t played in years thinking about getting back in glad to see your still making content!
Damn this game needs some testosterone, it’s about a massive war and a dude who fights a god because he got his soul stolen while trying to recreate the Reman Empire. Do we really have one dev who PvPs? And he thinks we want to turn into Greymoor assets?
There is one. And this isn't joking - He mains nb, has aspergers and identifies as they/them. Also, he gets destroyed in pvp. Look up gilliamtherogue
Thanks Hack !
Welp there goes the pvp update we all where waiting for oh wow 🤯. No cyrodill update is just stabbing the pvp players when everyone was hoping for at least a touch up.
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.
I think It is like eso+ monthly free stuff like the statues , if you have eso+ you click it once and will always have it even after you drop eso+
@@rickallen8767 Doubtful. We’ll see, but that’s not the way they made it sound. And that would mark the first time in ESO history we got more than a furnishing for free just for being a subscriber.
My interpretation was that the companions will be unlocked like, say, a painting for free for ESO+ subscribers.
@@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.
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.
what p2w lol
@@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...
@@nickmylo8703 Dude Oakensoul was a pay to win item. It literally changed how the game was played and it self was massive power creep and you needed not one not two BUT THREE separate dlcs to access it.
@@Barlin-d2j come on dudes isn't that the case in any game that has expansions? If you want the new things in that expansion you gotta buy it. Besides oakensoul just gives you what you already have from your skills. Regarding riding skill it makes no difference if you buy it or grind it everyday. It's not like there is racing in the game. 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+.
@@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.

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

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.

4v4v4 was so unique, it's sad that's going away. loved sniping kills from the third team or taking both out when they're engaged in combat.
Same. I liked how it wasn't just a WOW BG ripoff, horde vs alliance...and you get rewarded from getting 1st or 2nd. I get on a lot of losing teams (still new to the game so maybe it's partly me), and every now and then I get on a kick ass team...but it's nice that if I know our team doesn't have a chance against the top team we can still have a chance at 2nd. Sad to see them dropping this even temporarily.
Eh debatable. Most of my BG's boiled down to which of the 2 teams can bully and farm the 3rd harder one to win.

I have full gold and have played for ...years.. and I still wish they would add pet and mounts as drops or rewards for elongated quests such as in WoW. Re-downloading it now to see what has changed... if they changed my skills... It's dead to me. 😂😂😅
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.
I’m just happy the game is not dead ❤️ love it still
The only insane thing about this update is how many years zos has gone ignoring the people who keep their lights on...
Dont clickbait, dude. You can do better, ive seen you do better.
It'd be nice if they added a way to earn companions ingame without crowns. :/
So uhh new battlegrounds maps that no one asked for and a crown store showcase. Still, the worst part of this stream was that zos couldn't find a better person to represent pvp players that a mainly pve player who only zergs when going into cyrodiil..
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.

cyrodill map ned to be 1/2 the size and maybe this can really reduce the lag
It won't it's more of the population and skills use at the same time.
2 or 3 new pvp servers and reduce the size would be a massive help
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.
It would be really awesome if they created a guild for tanks and healers to level up. And that pets could be useful like companions even if they are non combat. Even having a small buff is better than nothing
This was originally marketed as a PvP game, then became a PvE game, then DEI hires turned it into a housing game.
If you were in any way slightly i to housing, you wouldn't say that. Housing is one of the most neglected elements of this game - outside of new cash grap houses that releases semi regularly.
The housing can be fun, I like the idea that the game can be whatever you want it to be. But you're right, there's so much dei nonsense in it and it gets worse every year

For your information. In TESO is not agenda. Is the cycle of life in Nirn. Maybe if you had take time to study the vast ESO lore you could post a logic phrase. For example argonians literally are genderless and sexless. It is the Hist who choose what an argonian will be in the next life, can be male o female. Sithis rules: All things need change, all comeback to void and get reshaped there to reborn. And the Hist are genderless, they are just the Hist. Another example are the Khajiit, literally are the moons who choose what a Khajiit will be not only male or female but what kind of Khajiit [there are a lot of them]. Elfs in general, specially those very comitted with magic arts can reshape their whole biology, sex is secondary stuff , Manimarco for example choose being a lich; the Great Telvanni Mages literally are asexual, they have sex just for "formal" business cuz they are commited to be the great mages; the Dwarvens/dwemmer were literally tranhumanist, for them the technology can replace the body, like Sotha Sil did it, sex for dwarvens/dwemmer was a "annoying" stuff to do; the Wood Elfs are more commited with animal forms that male/female forms. The Big Hunt is a probe of that. Sloads, my gosh another magic frikis, sex for them is the last thing, all they want is power. Finally the Daedra, the are literally not genderless but formless, they are divinity forces, they can choose any form, some prefer a male form, some prefer a female form, others like Periyte and Moras prefer other forms. This is OFICIAL LORE, from 30, 25, 20 years ago. Not a lefty woke bull$shit 2020 agenda. That's the way all work in Nirn from the beggining, if you don´t like on 2024 maybe you are new on ESO.
I hope they swap out the different teams because I think there's rewards tied to each of the teams like style pages, that city map is probably going to be Bravil, the cost of the companions couldn't be more than 1 months ESO access, otherwise people will buy 1 month, get the companions and cancel
rewards are not tied to teams, but to the type of bg you're playing. For example, pit lords motifs are given for deathmatches
So.. reworking battlegrounds from 3 teams to just 2 teams is.. "pvp content" nowadays? :D Lmao so dead game. Same old low effort from Devs, so many years nothing new for pvp and now.. not even anything new, they gonna use same maps/assets and just take 1 team away and make it 2 teams version. legit lol
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.
I've been playing since the beta, and I got all of my friends into the game over the years. We are all officially done now. It was stupid of the devs to pull this crap, DEI has destroyed every game it touched and cost massive revenue to the respective companies.
@@dstro899 what the hell does DEI have to do with this? ZOS is just a horrible developer with terrible game sense. Every person on this dev stream was white 🤦♂️
@@Cropsford_Protectors The comments are fucking insane
You could try to become a better person, if you choose.
@@thesimonjadisnah we're good, stop forcing your wokey cokey pandering crap into places it doesn't belong
Gaming is about escaping reality, not being represented
Maybe if you weren't so insecure about your own existence you wouldn't feel the need to force it on everyone else
@INTJadeSpider a better person, would encourage people with psychological illnesses to seek help, not convince them that their illness is in any way good or beneficial.
I mean that in the best possible way, with sincere concern for these poor people.
I've spent unknown hours filming my character walking through various cities, towns, villages and country sides. Far more screen shots (day and night shots of certain spots, and all of my houses 😁) have been taken of sites that I want to remember so when they finally pull the plug on this game, I'll still have something to look at.
At this point in my gameplay I don't care what updates they do. It really doesnt affect my characters anymore.
But thank you for the update though. 🙂
Nonbinary 🙄🤣🤣
does that offend you?
Bigot spotted.
Calm down, snowflake. No need to get triggered.
@@zachcoyle2156we all know who is offended here
@@zachcoyle2156 Why would anyone be offended by fantasy? :) It's a dumb fantasy even within the fantasy of this game, but it's just ridiculous, not offensive.
