The Wait Is Almost Over

Ascending Tide Starts In Summerset

The hardworking team at ESO has promised us a year of intrigue and political mystery.  It will all begin with Ascending Tide.

Along Summerset’s northern coast, you will find the colorful caverns of Coral Aerie, a new DLC dungeon.  According to Mike Finnigan, ESO’s Encounters Lead, “the local Ascendant Order…uses these ruins as a base to launch attacks against their enemies.”  The Coral Aerie location allows access to the sky thus allowing gryphons free movement.  And who doesn’t love gryphons?

If you have completed ESO’s Daggerfall Covenant storyline, you will recognize some familiar faces.  Captain Kaleen is back and needs help.  She was hired to find Jakarn who went missing while on an important mission.  

Coral Aerie provided the ESO Dungeon Team an opportunity to create something unique since they’ve never used Summerset, the Elven ruins, or gryphons in a four-player dungeon until now.

What Perils Await?

In addition to gryphons, we’ll also find the deadly forces of the Ascendant Order, giant yaghra monsters, and other deadly and dangerous foes.  There will also be some new mechanics.

Explore And Be Rewarded

While exploring Coral Aerie’s secrets and history, you will find new challenges and rewards.  “There are nooks and crannies and areas to explore that can reward those brave enough to venture off the beaten path”, says Finnigan.

Coral Aerie will offer unique rewards including achievement titles and collectibles.  The Guardian’s Frozen Shard memento will be earned by unlocking the Coral Aerie Conqueror achievement.

Account-Wide Achievements

Speaking of achievements, with this release base game Update 33 will grant account-wide achievements.  With a few exceptions, an achievement earned on any one of your characters will be considered completed across all your characters.  Please remember that you must log in to each character to allow their specific achievements to be logged.  

While this is definitely a welcome update, ESO is saying this will improve the way the game handles this type of data overall and make the footprint reduced which in turn increases the performance of the game.
