The Fantasy MMO The Elder Scrolls Online is drumming up for the fourth update. This does not introduce major new features, but gives groups plenty to do.
In the past few weeks, there has been so much talk, seen, and read about the upcoming changes to The Elder Scrolls Online that it is almost a bit sobering to read that none of these big features will come in the next update: No Imperial City, no Justice System, no Spellcrafting.
However, what is actually coming would be a reason to celebrate for fans of most MMOs: New content. Update 4 will be all about group PvE, there will be new dungeons in the game, raids will be expanded – in short, there is plenty to do.
The trailer showcases the most important aspects presented by Zenimax:
Grouping is set to improve in The Elder Scrolls Online
In line with the group content coming with update 4, fans in the official forum are asking whether the options for finding groups will also be improved and whether group play will be made more pleasant. Especially the grouping and phasing issues will resurface when players gather again for monster hunting.
In the official forum, a Zenimax employee raised hopes in response to a question that they would address the issues. In addition to the content shown in the video, they will also bring in further fixes and minor adjustments to the game. With update 4, they will also begin the improvements to group play that they have announced. Players will find out more from the patch notes for 1.4. This is set to come to the test server after Gamescom to shed more light on the patch. The next Road Ahead post from Matt Firor is also still pending; he has provided valuable insights into the development of the game in the past.
