Big release in MMORPG ESO annoyed with offline server but enchanted with the graphics

The new chapter High Isle for the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online has been on the live servers for PC (EU and NA) since day before yesterday, June 06, 22. The first feedback from the community is divided again. You can find out exactly what that looks like here at MeinMMO.

What is this extension? The High Isle chapter continues the “Legacy of the Bretons” story, which started with the dungeon DLC Ascending Tide. ESO brings a new big chapter with a new area and new story line once a year, which will be continued towards the end of the year.

The High Isle expansion offers ESO players:

The new expansion once again causes very different opinions. There is hardly a critical voice in the graphic implementation and development of the environment, while ESO makes a mistake with server problems for the release.

Praise for lovingly designed cities and graphic implementation

The community agrees on one thing about the new chapter! High Isle has beautiful scenery. The developers really succeeded in the graphic implementation and the cities were lovingly and authentically designed.

The high island this time is not an exotic area with unusual plants. Rather, it has something of the classic image of the Middle Ages, with knights and castles. And that has its very own charm.

Ykieps on Twitter took some particularly notable shots of the new area.

Criticism for bumpy start with repeated server problems

Shortly after the servers went online, one of the servers had to be taken offline again. ESO doesn’t solve this very elegantly either, because the announced maintenance time will be extended again.

This causes some mocking comments on social media and on reddit. Unfortunately, this is no exception. Even with chapters from previous years, the MMORPG made exactly these mistakes.

Looks like they replaced the server hamster with new server hobbit. The servers will need 2nd breakfast today.

Looks like they replaced the server hamster with a new server hobbit. The servers probably need a second breakfast today.

The user probably wants to allude to known server problems in ESO that have accompanied the MMORPG for several years.

But it has to be said that only the North American mega server had this problem, while the server for EU started the new chapter without any problems.

However, there were also some small technical errors in the game itself. For example, one of the new world bosses took a long time to spawn.

Is the new High Isle expansion worth getting started with?

Interested parties often wonder if they can catch up at all if they are only now entering ESO. Getting started is easier than ever. In the meantime, the experience gain has been increased maaively and the champion points revised, so that the first points are particularly important when it comes to a player’s strength.

By the way, you get the champion points as soon as you reach level 50 with one of your characters. This has also been greatly simplified in the meantime to accommodate new players. There are also valuable rewards for every level up.

If you value good and comprehensive story lines that are great for switching off, then this is the place for you. But ESO also has a lot to offer in terms of group challenges. For example, the latest ESO Dungeons are a great new challenge for veterans.
