No more new Monthly Reward cards for TESL
Yokudan Nightblade, the December Monthly Reward card is the last piece of gameplay-changing content for The Elder Scrolls Legends. The end of an era and a very sad moment. When something that you love is coming to an end, it’s a very sad moment. I remember playing TESL during nights and nights, and days, in various countries and cities, in front of fireplaces and in cafes, at hotels, but also at home, in bed and in even stranger places. I wish it all would not have ended, and we would still be getting original new content every day. I still love the game and visit it daily, but without playing too much. The memories of all the precious moments this game has generated and the friends I have made along the way, will be what I hold dearly in my heart. This blog is witness to how much I enjoyed it – every day- even though the last months of the TESL relationship haven’t been great. With Invade and the lack of commitment from Bethesda to make real changes it wasn’t easy to believe in a bright future. What keeps you excited about a card game is the new things, the future of what is to come with the next release and how you are making plans. But this just isn’t possible anymore, is it?
A big thank you to all readers and the entire content team. I think, later this year, when the blog subscription renews I will have to cancel the fees and take the pages down. So until then, if you want, please feel free to leave a comment and reach out if you like. And if you like Legends of Runeterra, you will find me as Holoir over there.
Myself and others owe you a great deal for the information you have posted online. I have learned much from you.
Please know, though, that a great many players enjoy TES Legends for more than just its “gameplay-changing content.” Many players can’t commit to the amount of play that dedicated, top players like yourself do. They may not have played the game from its inception, learning all the new cards gradually along the way or accumulating effective decks over long periods of time. Such players are the ‘cannon fodder’ for more advanced players, and might actually enjoy playing a game where the sands do not contiually shift under their feet. It is not “the end of an era” for such players. Though their path is difficult, the pleasures that thrilled you still await them.
New players need the help of expert players like yourself to make the game more enjoyable and playable. Those who have had thier hides shredded by you helped make the game enjoyable for you. Such players will continue to exist and play. You are a wonderful mentor. I hope you do not abandon them.
You have this one’s gratitude.
