The Elder Scrolls Online: Details about the Thieves Guild – What does the 64-bit client do?

In The Elder Scrolls Online (PC, PS4, XBox One) a new DLC, the Thieves Guild, is coming. Now there are more details.

Rich Lambert is the Creative Director at The Elder Scrolls Online. He has now answered questions about the DLC “The Thieves Guild” for a US site. It should be coming to the test server soon and go live in March . The basics of the winter DLC had already been outlined by the head of TESO, now his lieutenant is going into the details, so to speak.

The most important new information:

• The new 12-person trial scales. This means: Even players who do not have the max level can take part in the raids. The group leader sets the level. If he opts for VR16, it also counts towards leaderboards. Lambert proudly states: This is the first trial we offer in both normal and veteran mode.
• New activities for the crime system are coming – such as trespassing (you must not get caught), misdemeanors (for example, vandalism), or “Bounty pardons” – which should enhance the justice system a bit. Misdemeanor and trespassing likely refer to the new areas.
• The Thieves Guild brings a new skill line that supports criminal activities. Crafty thieves can talk their way out of an arrest.
• They expect quite significant improvements in stability and overall performance from the new 64-bit client, leading to fewer crashes and stuttering.

• 

  In Cyrodiil, a new “No Champion Points” campaign will be launched, along with a traveling merchant who sells monster masks. They are also working on improving performance.
• Upon reaching VR1, players will now unlock access to both other alliances. Additionally, the quests for Cadwell’s Silver and Gold have been made more lucrative. When players meet Cadwell, he should retroactively acknowledge the progress already made.
