It is a fact universally acknowledged that if you walk without rhythm, you will not attract the worm. That does not mean that you should walk without rhythm when you try out the latest update for The Elder Scrolls Online; quite the opposite, you want to test out the Seasons of the Worm, that means you want to attract the worm. Or is it the season that attracts the worms? There’s some ambiguity in worm-attracting elements, but the important part is that the next update in the game’s new content cadence is available on the test server.
As teased last week, this first season sends players to a new area called Solstice – or at least first part of it, as the island – and its large-scale dynamic event – unlocks over the course of the season. The new subclassing system and raid are up for testing too:
“In Seasons of the Worm Cult, Part 1, you can look forward to a variety of new things to collect including new adornments, item sets, Mythic items, mounts, outfits, pets, etc. In addition, the new 12-player trial, Ossein Cage, will be available for those brave enough to take on the challenge. For Base Game, we have the newly announced Subclassing system available for all to try. We can’t wait to see what custom builds you all come up with. In addition to subclassing, we have a good chunk of combat and item changes, along with bug fixes. These changes are meant to complement the addition of subclassing. We have many quality-of-life features coming to base game as well. From Hero’s Return, PC UI updates, Stackable Master Writs, prepping for console addons and more, base game has quite a bit to improve the overall experience as we are entering ESO’s 11th year!”
The process of testing will be very familiar to fans of the game, with the test client available on both PC and Mac clients with a simple click or two of the launcher. (Plus a test server installation, of course.) The test server will also have both the next update and the DLC content at the same time, so there’s plenty to test out it you’re ready to log on with or without rhythm.
