The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited game director Matt Firor has shared some information regarding what we can expect from the massively multiplayer online title in 2016. Alongside some new downloadable content packs, the developer will be making alterations to how the game's played.
For starters, veteran ranks are being removed, which will obviously change how you continue to grow your character after you hit level 50. When the alteration is implemented, champion points and the champion system will become your main means of strengthening your hero, which is something that many players have been asking for. This rather significant change is expected to be introduced in the second quarter of 2016.
Also coming around that time is what Firor calls "the Dark Brotherhood update", while in the first quarter of this year, the Thieves Guild is making an appearance in a separate update. We imagine that we'll have more information on the latter within the next few weeks.
We're merely glazing over some of the finer points here, so if you want all the details, be sure to check out the post over on the official blog. Do you think that you'll be exploring Tamriel well into 2016? Make your own guild in the comments section below.

I think these are generally positive changes. The thing which I was unclear about was the champion points replacing veteran ranks. That is fine but at the moment I am assuming when you go up each vetearn rank you get a skill point upto whatever the limit ii which i think is 16. So you can get 16 extra skill points which is great. But it does not say you will get those skill points in the Champion system. So really now if thats the case I should be trying to get my character upto the highest level asap to get these extra points before they are stopped.
I like the idea of public justice I think that could work really well. Seeing someone steal or pick pocket someone and you could punish them for it maybe also get the bounty for enforcing justice would be a positive move. It would make stealing a lot more interesting and people would do it a lot more carefully.
There was a mention of housing which I like the idea of and also text chat. So few people seem to use the voice chat function so a text chat would be really useful. The new DLC should also be good the more they have the better and more chance they have of getting more peope carrying on playing the game.
Displaying character name you have created will be better than your user ID.
The Imperial Edition is only £24.99 in the PS store at the moment and I've been considering it. The reviews are so mixed though I'm just not sure. Can anyone sell me on it at all?
I held off buying this game for a long time as i was unsure if it was for me or not. What it is not is Skyrim. But the game is massive and you have so much to do. There are a good variety of different character classes and skill sets so you can really play the way you want to play. For the price I think it offers good value for the money. If you like social interaction then you can do that within the game of if you like solo play you can play it that way. You can have massive battles as well in certain areas. I would suggest watching some of it on Twitch. There is also a ESO section on the forum under the online games where people i am sure would answer any questions you have. There are not many MMO's out there for PS4 and this is the first one I have played.
Really need to make an effort with this game, bah.
@dryrain I'm looking forward to that public justice, I think it makes sense. The amount of times I've accidentally hit the other computer characters in the games and then got out of town and been fine, it will definitely add some extra fun/ immersion if you are being attacked by other players for something you've done wrong.
I can play this for days at a time and then leave it a while and come back and have lots of fun. I know it isn't Skyrim but you can play it like it and I also think it helps that this is an mmo because you can have way more attacks and abilitys on your bar, aswell as the amount of different armour customisations you can have. For people that like ES games I'd still recommend this, you get a great amount of content and if you don't mind an MMO you'll enjoy it, especially the group dungeons.
They also said there's gong to be an ingame chat for consoles I cant wait for that
@SKC_Diamond In game chat will help 1000 times more especially for PVP! Might actually be able to get a nice group together and do something rather than all running were the fights are at.
Can't wait for the Dark Brotherhood update!!! The whole Dark Brotherhood quests in Skyrim were simply amazing. The only thing I'd have an issue with is the fact that you may need to kill somebody stealthily in their bed and you're there skulking about being all quiet and some armour clad player comes in jumping about or stand there dancing. It would kill the atmosphere somewhat
@stupidget I haven't read about the update yet, but I assume Dark Brotherhood would be solo like fighters guild and Mages guild?
@Patinator I haven't tried pvp yet ive only just got to lvl 10 is it good?
@SKC_Diamond I haven't played it for a while but It's good if you end up in a decent group at the right time... You can't really affect really much by your self, I recommend playing pvp with a friend that way your odds of winning a fight if you get caught out in the middle of nowhere are greater unless you come up against a over powered player (there are lots of these)you won't even get a hit in. But doing Pve bits in pvp is great. It's much better when you get a group together in pvp because with around 10 decent players you can get a group together and take an isolated fort rather than running with the Zurg and not getting a hit in or doing much. It is good, just much better with a group (Hopefully the text chat will make it easier to communicate and group up).
