    "A war against the Dragons that unfolds and builds over four quarterly releases to an unexpected climax."

    If this is so I am sure they will want to highlight Skyrim and leverage the huge commercial success that the game had to grow ESO.

    Needless to say some folks are upset about lore and timeline issues but have to see how it is implemented I suggest. In past games time has been used in a flexible manner - re-fight a past battle to save the present etc. Then again this could be a full on summoning of dragons by necromancers from some other dimension.

    Make sure to get the number of the donkey cart though!

    ESO's classes are trash and spamming the same 5 boring skills over and over is something a monkey could do. So thank idiots who let devs get away with mediocrity.

    Enjoy mages that cant even summon a simple fireball without holding a staff, plebs.

    is it just me..... or have dragons been gone since the dragon war, and only reappeared in the time of skyrim?

    dragon war was year 0, era 1. and quite frankly, ESO plays in 4th era, 201
    "They were virtually extinct until 4E 201, when they resurfaced in Skyrim with the return of Alduin."

    elder scrolls online was, afaik, 582, 2nd era.

    soooo.... they tell us now that ESO ain't canon?

    Looking forward to the Necromancer class that sounds awesome.  My biggest complaint is the skills bar is so limiting.    Took a respite from ESO for the winter, wonder when this is coming out?

    No but he watched twitch!

    Lots of things I do not really like about the class system but those are not them.

    For instance I hate the smart healing as it feels off but as a healing templar it is what it is.
    No I don't think he/she even watched Twitch. I would be surprised if a streamer wasn't using weapon swap.

    The comment also ignores skill lines that are not dependent on a weapon e.g. the Mage's Guild skill line.

    That looks interesting. Game has come a long way from the beta I played and gave up on. I must go back and play again.

    Who cares about lore anymore! Players wanted dragons and necromancer class, so here you go. Money talks!

    This is a game I think could have done so much better with traditional tab-targeting and a few action bars of skills.

    Compare this too another MMO where "Something big has happened that means you can't go to a city somewhere and some major NPC's have had a half baked story created to explain why they are acting totally out of character." It is rather refreshing to see ESO doing expansions like this. :)

    ok i found this game to be boring and such, but allways wanted to try a necromancer in a mmorpg.

    I would never ask for them to change this, but, I wish they would. It's holding me back from playing more than I do. I think the rest of the game is great.

    Yeah, that's what I thought about the Warden before and the crushing disappointment pretty much drove me away permanently.

    Not going to get all "OMG this gonna be so awesome!!!" over Necromancer as well just to be severely disappointed again.

    Money is indeed crucial and the Elder Scrolls IP is valuable; its why Z supported ESO after its less than stellar launch and why they have continued to add to it. And of all the ES games Skyrim has been the biggest so it makes sense that - at some stage - more of Skyrim would be added. (It had a small part when it launched.)
     
    As to how they handle dragons as far as lore goes as I said above I think we should wait. In previous es games dragons have been encountered in various ways and in - say - Terry Pratchett's Guards! Guards! a noble dragon was summoned by magic from a dimension to which they had travelled. Events that formed part of the PC game Discworld many years ago with its "infamous" donkey cart reference.

    Elsewyr isn't much of a spoiler really since Murkmire had a huge hint for it just like Clockwork City pointed to Summerset.

    The Necro is a big nod to the fan base who have for years been asking for it. Quite the retro move by ZOS when all other studios have been pissing off their fans by giving them the opposite of what they want. Personally I'd prefer no new classes and more skill lines but whatever.

    But a big WTF about the dragons lol... something they said over and over did not fit with the lore of the time period. But hey, maybe we'll get to see Razum-Dar jump over one on water skis? :)

    I wouldn't be surprised if Necro was a copy/paste of Warden.  With a Lich instead of a bear, various undead used like spells, debuffs, and drains for healing, and a tanking skill line added.  I enjoy playing the Warden, so this variation wouldn't bother me.
