Most interesting thing for me would be Cyrodiil and AvA. I think this should be Zeni's top priority for this game once they get all the fixes in that they need to make.
Good stuff for the most part, they really need to churn out fixes and QoL changes at a much faster pace though. Basically one smallish patch ( plus several hotfixes fixing what that patch broke ) a month is not anywhere enough for a sub based game.
If necessary, content patches should be put on a separate schedule.
Looks good and all BUT why was the game released in a state where it can be a pain in the butt to quest with others and such. I mean ESO is a MMO and someone correct me IF i am wrong but that means players WANT to be able to group and not get a headache from stuff that is just common sense. I mean grouping in general can be a pain in terms of finding people who know what they are doing and do not act like complete fools. Having something so basic as being able to group and quest even when someone else in group is a little behind or ahead in a quest is just stupid.
Now this does not mean i hate the game or anything but i do think the game is another 3 to 6 months of patches and such before it's where it should have been with a proper launch.
Looks nice, still months and months away before I even reach most of what is being added.
Still have hopes one of the dev's might be working on housing, maybe the next RA?
I think you have hit on the secret of having fun in a MMO: don't give yourself a hernia getting to top level. I don't think we will see housing until next year, must admit its not top of my list.
"We're looking at gear that will make others envious when you’re wearing or wielding it—both in appearance and in stat boosts."
Oh goooood, this is just what we need, more power differences between hardcore and casual.
"Veteran Ranks - we're looking at giving you more "points" to spend when you hit a Veteran Rank. This is at a very, very early stage, but essentially, we want to keep the great customization you have for your character from 1-50 and allow you to continue augmenting it in meaningful ways."
Not sure if serious. Again, see above. You had better give us better faster ways of getting to V12 ffs....
So basically a VR12 dungeon ....plus bug fixes and tweaks of course.
No mention at all of the Dark Brotherhood or the Thieves Guild - despite MF talking about these pre-launch; not even that they are coming on nicely..
I could see one or both being the topics of expansion packs (paid DLC) in the future. Released round about the time of the console version would give reviewers the excuse to take a fresh look at the core game as well ...

They already stated they are working on it and hope on a 2014 release, year aint over yet is it?, Yeah Yeah I know it should have been in on release news flash it was not so it's something we can look forward to.

They said it's something a bit more out there in the future, that they want to do it properly
Good to know about 1.2 out round the 23rd and all the customization stuff
Hodor!

Where is AvA heading?
It takes one to know one.
