Oh, this information really helps; I do feel a little better about facing him after hearing this. She is CP level 51 now; and I haven't seen any new wayshrines showing on her map; but I'll try going to the Davon's Watch wayshrine and checking out the Vulkhel Guard or Daggerfall wayshrines specifically.

Misa reached level 50 a long time ago, but I was really nervous about facing MB and so started new characters; took her to Cyrodiil; etc. - even did a bunch of quests after I'd gotten all the achievements for all of the Ebonheart Pact areas; anything to keep from facing him, lol.

Little bit of new info on the next DLC.

Looks like the new dungeons are both going to be for groups, as I expected. That should make a lot of people happy.

There's not really much for them to say about the barber shop, other than that it is coming. You'll be able to change your character's race, appearance, and name. There will be "dozens of new hair styles, adornments, and body markings that can be purchased from the in-game Crown Store." More information on features including new motifs, new item sets, improved facial effects, and the ability to dye costumes will be revealed in the future.

They're also making some towns in Cyrodiil capture-able in the alliance war, which should make things more interesting. Now if only they could fix the lag so people could actually play PvP.


I'm hoping this will be a free DLC, since it adds nothing worth paying money for (since you have to buy new hair styles etc in the store anyway). We'll have to wait and see if they announce any pricing or anything. As with all DLC, it comes as the DLC itself (which in this case is the dungeon pack) and the base patch (which in this case includes the barber shop).

Not really news, but here's an interview with Matt Firor about general ESO things.

I'm trying to seriously take this in, but the interviewer has Matt listed as "MF" - making it hard for me not to react like this:

I hope we can change their voices in that barber shop!

I discovered today that Nirnhoned is the ninth trait, not the tenth trait as I’d thought. *palms face* Yeah, it’s going to be a long time before any of mine can craft Pelinal’s Aptitude!

Thank you for the interview link! Lol, I was also giggling at ‘MF.’ You can let me play an M-rated game, but you can’t make me mature.

I know, right? I couldn't concentrate on the content because the reader automatically read it as "M" "F" and instantly I was cracking up no matter how hard I tried not to,

It is their fault; they should have just written out "Matt."

Some new info from an ESO live twitch stream. There was stuff about the dungeon pack, but they're group dungeons so it wasn't that interesting.

The Style Parlor (Barber Shop) is looking really good. The character editing is pretty simple - you edit your character in a window that looks identical to the one at the start of the game. You need to buy appearance change tokens in the crown store.

New hair styles, adornments, etc. are also bought from the crown store, and work as in-game collectibles that can be equipped and changed at any time, without having to go back to character creator.

The costume dyeing works in a similar way with regards to tokens. You buy sets of colours from the crown store, each set with 3 specific colours which will be applied to your costume. ESO plus members can edit their costumes freely and completely by just going to a dye station.

They're releasing some patch notes next week too so there'll be some more smaller changes coming to the entire game. They'll also release the pricing and whatnot too.

Excellent update, hazmick, thanks!

I like that the appearance stuff that you buy for Crowns will be equipable rather than part of a permanent appearance change.

Skill respec is practically free right now on the PS4 due to the DB changes, but I expect that the next patch will send the price back up to normal. I need to remember to get Jerric’s Alchemy points back before that happens. He ran his skill up to 50 because he is Jerric, but he’s perfectly happy to get the points back and let Lil make all of his potions for him.

I'm happy with the way the Style Parlour is being done. Nice and simple. Also having a little extra for ESO Plus members is really cool.



Heh heh, Haa-Rei and Jerric have that in common. Got Alchemy quite high but then decided that we didn't really like it and did a skill respec. Provisioning is proving to be quite useful and interesting (and delicious) so we're going to focus on that now, and we finally got Blacksmithing maxed out.

It's amazing how many skill points you can waste on useless skills. After the respec Haa-Rei has 21 points lying around and no skills to throw them into.

Here is an article about the upcoming Shadows of the Hist dungeon pack, and the new additions coming with the base game patch.

It will be coming to PC/Mac on August 1st, and both Xbox One and PlayStation4 on August 16th.

Non-ESO Plus subscribers can get the dungeon pack for 1500 crowns, and there'll be a collectors bundle for 2500 crowns which includes the two new dungeons, the Hist Guar mount, the Haj Mota Hatchling pet, and five Crown Experience Scrolls.

NOTE: The Style Parlor, costume dyeing etc does NOT require you to buy the DLC, as it will be added in the base patch.



That Hist Guar mount looks awesome. Haa-Rei is a very happy lizard.

A couple of videos for your perusal.

The first is a look at a new personality - Drunk.

The second is a look at the Hist Guar mount.

Both will be coming in the next update.

BWAAHAA !!!! It looks like that guy with the beard puked into his tankard! URP!


I'm excited about these animation ones!

These updates are Awesome! I really hope one of these lets us change our character's voice; and I'd really like to be able to just peek at what voice set I have used on one character (Formerly known as "Pantsless Calia;" who has the absolute most adorable voice EVAH) so I'll know which one I want to use on the other two Imperial girls; (who sound like grunting pig farmers or something)

July's crown store showcase is up.

Costumes
Priest of the Green - July 7th
Breton Hero Armor - July 21st to July 25th
Rumare Waterfront Casual Wear - July 28th
City Isle Tunic Dress - July 28th

Mounts
Doom Wolf - July 21st to July 25th
Doesn't have the Hist Guar listed, so perhaps it's only available in the collector's bundle.

Pets
Colovian Badger - July 7th
Turquoise Nixad - July 7th




They're also removing a load of stuff from the store on August 1st:

Costumes
Desert Garden Gala Overdress

Blue Oasis Frog
Bravil Retriever

Those baby goats are adorable, have you seen them?

The drunk personality is hilarious. When the guy barfed into his mug, Jerric said “Nice catch.� I guess I know what I’ll be shopping for in August!

Looks like there will be some outrageous beards and hair walking around.

The Hist Guar looks awesome. Can’t wait to see Haa-Rei on a glowing guar!

Lots of changes in the base game. Looks good.



mALX, voice change is part of the appearance or race plus appearance change coins you can buy. I forget which one, maybe both.

Oh, that will be great! Now I just have to find a way to peek at "Pantsless" Calia's voice to know what to set the grunting girls on that one!

WOO HOO!

Today Zenimax announced ESO Gold Edition, which will be coming later this year.

Gold Edition features the base game + all 4 DLCs + a Palomino Horse mount + 500 crowns.

Oh, man! It would be nice if they sold it in a package for people who already own the game!

Alliance style crafting motifs have been added to the Crown Store, costing 5000 crowns each.
