You pick that up, I just mopped there.

Anyways, turns out there's even more news a-comin. I really hope it's the datamined Warden class they may or may not have teased. (Well, they specifically said Frost magic was getting some love in the future, so I'm assuming it's the Warden class they're referring to)

Oh, now there is a player after my own taste !!!!


Well, yesterday I was so excited about this that I got on the game just to break into houses and get decorating examples to think about. I was on TS with my friends from one of my trading guilds - one of whom was actually a Beta tester for ESO the year before its original release.

He got a bunch of stuff for beta testing the game, one of them is those little monkeys you see behind some players - only the beta testers got those. So if we beta test the houses, we might get some nice pet or costume that won't be available to others too!

He said that they will probably make us pay like one Crown or some nominal amount of gold for the houses on the PTS; but it will not carry over to the regular server. Everything we do on the PTS gets wiped out when it is pulled away when testing is complete; so you will def have to re-buy your house at the end, re-set it up, etc.

I can't wait !!!!!!!!!!!






GAAAAAH !!! Need link ... *crawls toward the light ...*

A new class?!!

I tried searching for the post on reddit, but couldn't find it.

Keep in mind this is all speculation based on both a reddit post from one of the developers (an answer he gave to someone who asked whether Frost magic was getting some love in the future, along the lines of "we have something planned") and datamining that found some of the skill lines from the alpha's cut Warden class (which includes a Frost skill line to match the Sorcerer and Dragonknight's Shock and Fire lines) re-introduced in a recent update.

The general consensus is that the Warden class may be implemented soon.Here's hoping.

Frost Warden sounds great. Something with frost magic and nature summoning would be my fondest wish for a class. Jerric is not prone to jealousy, but when he sees NPCs with their frost walls and sabre cat spells, he has to kill them harder.

A nature summoning class would be my ideal class. Something like the enemy Hunters that are already in the game. They always remind me of the Ranger class from Guild Wars 2.

Frost magic is pretty cool too though. Pun intended.

Man that would be sweet if we could go to Vvardenfell

They Here

2 things that jumped out at me from the summary (I haven't read these yet as of this posting)

-You can sit in chairs/stools/benches everywhere, not just your home starting with update 13

-THE DATAMINED MASTER CRAFTING WRITS ARE COMING WITH THE UPDATE TOO

KAAAAA ... BOOOOOOOM !!!!!!


*mALX's head explodes*

4 new motifs?!! Oh boy!! Khajiit wonders what they will be.

Those housing prices are a bit scary though!

Derp, they told us what the motifs would be in the change log, lol
Khajiit's bad!

I am super excited for this update. Can't wait to read the patch notes again, lol. House hunting is going to be fun!

Thank you for posting this, monkey!

Have they set a release date? Or did it release today?

Febuary 2-3.
They usually release on PTS a month before making the update live.

Anyways, I'm glad they went and revealed the price of the houses right away. Looks like the Medium houses will be right in my price bracket, but with a bit more saving I can get the Large houses instead.

Buying the manors may be a goal in the future but honestly I don't know what the characters would do with that much space. The titles would be nice, though I can't imagine living near an active volcano would be appealing. But then a bunch of those homes' original inhabitants died of the Knahaten Flu so...

Also I love that Mistveil Keep can become a player home.

I thought they were a lot lower than what I thought they would be for the medium & small houses. If we craft our own furniture, we could afford a few of them. I wonder how much the furniture will be to buy (because a recipe is 250; one carrot is 150; and a horse is 42,000 - so how much is a couch? Kind of glad the houses are as low as they are. I thought they would be higher.







Yes, really glad they released the prices so people can plan out the expense!

Lol, this is like that episode/season of The Guild where they were trying to raise funds for their custom guildhall! Awesome!
