Is it a good time to get back into ESO?

[Burba]

A year or so ago my old 980 ti gave up the ghost so I quit ESO and all other video games. So it is not like I quit because I was not having fun. I got a new card now and was thinking about getting back into ESO. Is it a good time or should I wait for the next expansion?

I mostly just tank dungeons in the group finder and for what ever casual guild I end up joining. Is there any content I should buy if that is all I am doing? I think the last expansion I bought was Blackwood. I mostly don't sub since I don't need the craft bag as I almost never craft and I just sell anything I don't have room for.

If you have the game why not try it first if you still like it and then buy more?
If you like doing dungeons probably + is more worth it, otherwise you are stuck with the basegame dungeons and whatever you own as dungeons are not included in a chapter purchase.
You could get High Isle or Necrom first, depending on your taste, and they are probably cheaper to get then the newest chapter. Also Necrom comes with a new class.

Dungeons don't come with expansions anymore? I thought they came with as least a few but maybe I am miss remembering. Can I buy the dungeons in packs or something then or do you have to sub to play them?

Who cares if a game is "dead" if you're having fun? That's still a lot of players.

OP, I suggest getting back into it and seeing how you enjoy it again and then consider buying the expansions. Personally, my friends and I have been having a lot of fun exploring and seeing everything.

Dungeons are DLC packs. You can buy them for crowns, if you have gold you can trade them in with another player, but the price is pretty high atm. That is only for the DLC ones though, basegame are included in the basegame.
Also, yes, chat is dead, you don't talk to strangers on the street either. And dungeons queues take long if you are not a Tank.
If i'd get a buck for every post that says the game is dead or too easy i can buy plus for the next years.

Chat is dead? Well I suppose I will watch some ESO live streams to see how bad it is. I would just try it my self but it is a 100+gig install. I do not want to install it just to uninstall the same day.

Wish I had your internet speeds... what I wouldn't give to be able to uninstall a game on the same day I started downloading it... How about taking some of that money you must surely have and giving it to those of us who truly need and DESERVE it. Or at least bribing att to better service rural kentucky...

If I had money like that I would have just bought a new computer when my card died. I just live in a small city and we have good internet here for not too much money.

I only got 350mbps down and 30mbps up. Is that crazy speed where you are at? They sell stuff that is three times that fast here. Did I just stumble into drama on an mmorpg forum? I have not even installed the game yet let alone joined a guild.

Actually, yes, that is WAY faster than what I'm getting. Of course, I'm in rural kentucky, and you're in a city, so...

Also, welcome to steam, home of 24/7/365.25 video-game drama...

Not sure what you think the difference is between servers in this context. e.g., I'm on EU server and do not own the Steam variant of the game, and always join from ESO native launcher.

To the OP, there's more stuff than ever going on and the game always seems busy, with plenty of guilds to join (I'm in 4, and all are busy guilds).
