Jasonofagun: Free the craft bag, dagnammit!

chrismanzano-mallison2812: this is great and all, just kinda disappointed there's no new zone in skyrim; was really hoping we might get winterhold or whiterun due to skyrim's 15th anniversary

Motawa88: Nothing specific about overland. If it's just more health and damage for enemies it's gonna be annoying instead of challenging

ReiLyfe: I’m just happy it ain’t going the way of New World.

eyn85: Too bad the overland difficulty is only in spring and we dont know much about it but at least its coming....on an positive note the SOLO dungeons was also what this game needed...so many dungeons going to waste with not having enough people to run them...solo dungeons and overland difficulty were MUCH needed

danhensley: Solo dungeons are super exciting and i really hope the new overland difficulties are implemented well (high damage enemies, not bullet sponges). Time will tell.

generalsdragons6952: ESO has the potential to be a good solo world quest game if they put some effort into it, making the overland content is a step in that direction. I don't have faith they will deliver on their promise to , but I can take a hit the hopeium pipe.

avand628: Excited about solo dungeons

ALOT of these changes seem awesome, I hope they can deliver

GoatSays: Will definitely check the game out again when the overland difficulty drops. Animation update is also a big win. If they do a vampire update I'm really hoping we can become a vampire lord like in Skyrim.

jaandjay: For the love of God cross play would be lovely

luigifraga843: hoping for unarmed skill line so I can roleplay monk for any class

scott5375: Year 1 player here that has been on a hiatus for the past 18 months. I’ve been patiently waiting for tangible changes and am looking forward to returning soon hopefully.

NaspalmHymnautic: Did dig the new info and update. Always felt that Fire Staff needed a rework, it being similar to Lightning / Healing Staff were Heavy Attack was a pseudo channel, but instead of sticking to a target like L & H Staves do, it did an actual channeled flame cone attack instead.

Jomanson666: finally Overland Difficulty !

AussieBB1: the 8 crates and the updates was worth watching thanks Hack for breaking it down

fishmongersvillage: They copied fo76 system and stuck it in eso

davefulton4488: I think it's the most optimistic year preview we've ever had, lots to look forward to. I'm sure there will be some mistakes and pain along the way as ZOS learn their new systems. But overall it is a positive looking future.

aybara_n8828: That’s quick, thx for the summary, Hack!

FreeFragUK: I'll have to look at diving into ESO at some point this year based on the changes mentioned. Hopefully the more streamlined content model addresses a lot of the issues that arose previously, particularly when trying to join in with people who had content you didn't or vice versa. I'm also eager to see the werewolf changes as quite fancied pursuing that path.

GrouxOo: Rare W, will come back to the game for sure!

Xariann: The overland changes might bring me back. ESO has a fantastic open world and is what draws me in

MightyPants95: As a DK main that usually would rock 2h weapons, I will happily come back to the game after a break and check this all out. Hopefully the leadership doesn't underestimate the value of communication and taking the players seriously... but we'll have to see on that one.

Cautiously optimistic! Thank you for the info Hack, much appreciated.

TheCheese720: I always love watching your channel your so informative sometimes I watch build guides knowing I probably won’t make them just to hear and see which is honestly great you are one of my favourite creators and the top eso creator anywho this year looks great for eso and honestly will bring me back to the game its almost everything I’ve wanted

australienski6687: So they're adding a second subscription to the game? And you're happy?

Laughlikeagoblin: So what about the base game additions such as the dark brotherhood? Will past owners be refunded the in game currency?
