With Update 11 (Shadows of the Hist DLC) comes the first major balancing of racial passive skills in Elder Scrolls Online.

Update 11, which includes the Shadows of the Hist DLC pack, is now available on the Public Test Server.

ESO Live (24 June) provided some more details about the upcoming DLC Shadows of the Hist as well as other features planned for Update 11.

Update 11 is the next content patch for ESO after the Dark Brotherhood and is scheduled to arrive some time in Q3 2016. We expect it to arrive in late August or early September.

At E3, Matt Frior (Game Director) announced the concept of One Tamriel. It lets players from all Alliances and all Levels complete the same content through the Battle Level scaling system.

One Tamriel is a system which is going to allow players from all Alliances and Levels play together in all of Tamriel. It will also make all characters scale to all zones – basically making every zone work in the same way as Orsinium, Hew’s Bane and the Gold Coast. One Tamriel was announced at E3 in 2016, and is expected to arrive late in 2016.

With Update 10 comes a major overhaul to the progression system in ESO – the long awaited removal of Veteran Ranks and the take-over of Champion Ranks. What happens to my gear? This is a question which has been asked a lot, so here it is explained.

Update 10, which is the Dark Brotherhood patch, removes Veteran Ranks from ESO and replaces them with Champion Ranks. This is part of a long term plan ZOS has had which is designed to reduce the “grindy” nature of ESO post Level 50.

The Dark Brotherhood DLC game pack is now live on PC/Mac! Prepare for your next killer adventure and the Dark Brotherhood’s latest initiate!

There is quite a lot coming with this patch including the Dark Brotherhood DLC, the addition of poison making to the Alchemy system, changes to item Traits, improvements to the Group Tool, item locking, new crafting bags for ESO Plus members and importantly the removal of Veteran Ranks.

The Dark Brotherhood DLC is now available on the Public Test Server.

The DLC will launch on the live servers for PC/Mac on May 31.

XBox One and PS4 will get the DLC on June 14.

The Dark Brotherhood will cost 2,000 Crowns or an active ESO Plus subscription.
