The Elder Scrolls Online: Duelle, Housing, Lockboxes und One Tamriel

In the fantasy MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online, there were some surprises at the edge of Gamescom.

The main source of information for new features presented at Gamescom for ESO is a reddit thread that refers to recordings made with a mobile phone from the ESO Tavern, a casual presentation. So these are pieces of information that should be taken with caution for the moment, but which have already sparked some discussion – as they provide a glimpse into the next update of The Elder Scrolls Online, which is supposed to be released in 2016.

The “ESO Tavern” was an event that took place on August 19 and 20 at the Gir Keller in Cologne – speakers included the head Matt Firor and Creative Director Rich Lambert. The event was supposed to be streamed live on Twitch, according to the announcement from Zenimax. However, the only thing we could find were some shaky mobile videos.

The Elder Scrolls Online: One Tamriel is Coming

The information primarily revolves around the next update, Update 12:

• “One Tamriel” will come into the game as a free base patch. All dungeons that do not yet have a veteran mode will be revamped. They will then have a normal and an extended veteran version. Furthermore, 17 new monster sets have been found in the database.
• There is supposed to be a DLC pack in the Crown Store that costs 5500 crowns and includes all DLCs except the newest “Shadow of the Hist”.
• We already reported yesterday about the “lockboxes” that are coming to the Crown Store.
• Kargstein will be revamped as part of “One Tamriel”.

Housing is Coming Soon to The Elder Scrolls Online

• There is supposed to be no pay-to-win in the Crown Store – the developers have played Black Desert Online and did not like what happened there.
• Exploiters who have intentionally and not just for testing purposes exploited certain bugs have been banned.
• With Update 12, the scaling of low-level players in DLC dungeons will be revised.
• Update 13 will bring housing and also place training dummies in the front yards. This is planned for early 2017.

Dueling is Coming, Champion Points Increase

• It is known that the LFG system is not working and they are working diligently on it.
• With Update 12, new weapon ultimates with 2 morphs will come, and there will also be alternative ways to enhance the guild skill lines.
• 1v1 duels will be introduced in Cyrodiil.
• The Champion Points will increase with Update 12 to 561.
• There will be more events.
