    Does this contain the complete removal of veteran ranks or is that in a future patch? I guess it’s not in this one as veteran ranks weren’t mentioned :(

    The ESO theme song is so Epic. You could show smurfs running through the grass and I'd get hype if you played that. IC looks pretty awesome. I might even pve a little.

    Yeah, VR is still in. In fact, it's up to 16 now. I expect it'll be a while before they figure a way to remove them if ever.

    Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.

    It's easy for them to increase the VR, but removing it is a entirely different beast at this point. They'll continue to say it'll be removed in some sort of time frame, but the truth is they don't have any plans for it.

    Every time I go into Walmart there are plenty of copies of ESO available.....Is this game doing all that well as a b2p?
  • LordZeikLordZeik Member UncommonPosts: 276
    Nice to see the content they promised us over a year ago is now a dlc package.  Glad I got out of that trap.

    Well.. to be fair, this content was "promised" while the game was P2P..

    You can still pay for a sub. and get it for free, so it's exactly as they promised back then!  ;P

    I think they should offer this DLC to PC users whose account was created before the b2p switch and had paid a subscription. Other than that it looks pretty darn amazing.

    I also really like the fact that anyone above level 10 can do all of the content.

    Millions of copies sold. #1 Xbox and PSN last month ahead of games like The Witcher.

    That is usually the best time to rewrite major systems. Hopefully they can do yearly expansions.

    Wow... that's way sooner than I'd expected.  I was thinking late Fall.  Looks like the drought might be officially over.

    yep!  B2P or not, who gets it and who doesn't get it are exactly the same.  In either case, if you're paying for a sub, you get it.  If you're not, you don't.

    PC players are worried that console version would be the priority for content, and now that they announce the content is coming first on PC it is beta testing?

     

    Damned if you do, Damned if you dont.

    Does anyone know what the cost of the DLC will be to purchase?

    Also, if you decide to sub for the month of it's release and then your sub lapses, will you still be able to keep the DLC?

    From ESO : "The full Imperial City DLC game pack is included with an active ESO Plus membership. If you are not an ESO Plus member, or your membership lapses, the Imperial City DLC game pack costs 2,500 crowns in the ESOTU Crown Store."

    What does 2500 crowns translate to in American currency?
