"ZOS Jessica Folsom replied: That's the plan, Neizir!"

Also with Update 6 comes the Provisioning Revamp, the ability revamp, stamina improvements, maybe some new pets and mounts, and maybe the Imperial City, among many other things.
Update 6 is allegedly the size of two "normal" updates , and we'll hear more about it in the Road Ahead next week.

In case you aren't watching, it'd be good to watch some ESO Live now Expect some more Update 6 news there among other stuff.

Is this really Jess?

I see the chat as well and she isn't a mod, her profile doesn't come up, it looks unusual for our Community Manager to not be a mod. I see Michelle and can interact with her but Jess is like a ghost

Sorry if that is a weird observation but I don't want that we fall for a troll in the chat.

They've said the champion system is being rolled out in stages, what changes are coming in update 6? Will VR14 exist, or is the new progression system being introduced? Is the Imperial city getting rolled out?

Based on previous statements, VR levels will stay when the Champion System is first introduced, so we shouldn't expect those to be gone by the next update. 1.6 should be the rollout of phase 3.

And this thread is about the Champion System, so you might want to ask about the Imperial City in a separate topic.

This is the progression system stage, and VR14 will still exist in 6. Don't know if Imp City is releasing with it, but Update 6 is purportedly the size of 2 normal updates according to Jessica aswell. If the Champ System is releasing I don't see why Imp City wouldn't release.

Oh I didn't know

Thanks for explaining!

I love the interview with Armin, always great to have other musicians in the show and I can so agree with everything he said about creating music.

Gina needs to learn German btw. she looks a bit lost at times

But that's why Kai is there. As nice as it would be, you can't expect Gina to learn all of our languages.

Haha that is indeed true

"That's the plan" ≠ "Confirmed"

I love it how they said they fixed quests giving less xp than they should... while in fact nothing was changed with quest xp in 1.5.5 -_- Now Im wondering - are they clueless, in denial or lying?

ers101284b14_ESO

Ha they just showed the Vanity pet inventory management so now all those people who deleted the pets are gonna be P.O'ed

All they said was that some particularly difficult quests were giving less XP than intended. For some reason many people took that as "all quests are giving less XP than intended".

Audigy

So to summarize we get in 1.6.

Champion System
Provisioning Update
Pet UI

1.5.6 is due on Monday

They fix the weapon switch lag,
improve sound effects & group communication to reduce the lags in large groups,
and some other stuff in regards of responsiveness of the UI


Jess also said something about a global AH which I feel is worth mentioning. She said that due the Megaserver a global AH is not possible but that they want to improve the guild trade system and kiosks to make them more user friendly.

Nice spin. And technically youre not completely wrong as their announcements are about as clear as their tooltips in game. But Im not talking about all quests. I see no improvement in the range of xp you get from the important quest lines in 1.5.5 compared to 1.5.4. The the XP for key quests in each zone did not change.

Nice spin. And technically youre not completely wrong as their announcements are about as clear as their tooltips in game. Still I saw no improvement in the range of xp you get from quests in general. The the XP for key quests in each zone did not change.

Can't say I've noticed a change really either. But I'm not sure exactly which quests the change applied to. Wasn't trying to say you were wrong or anything either, just pointing out that the change wasn't applied to all quests.

Thanks!

No mention of the Justice System? I thought that was already being tested on the PTS at some point. I guess we'll have to wait for an official Road Ahead announcement or something.

bosmern_ESO

you also forgot when they were showing the seperate tab for pets and mounts (that don't take up space) they said

"I wonder whats that second additional tab?"

Jessica: "I don't know, does it rhyme with ampion histem?"

Yep Road Ahead should be soon. They said after thanksgiving, so max 2 weeks?

Can't wait for it!

He's actually spot on correct. There's no spin to it. Just simply quests that have a high degree of difficulty to complete (comparatively speaking). At best, that's probably 1 quest in each zone, and likely the final quest in the faction's storyline in each zone.

Better PvP gear please.

I did not hear anything about the Justice System or Imperial City, the announcement (by Jess in the Twitch Chat) about the CS was before my arrival so maybe they announced other stuff too.

"I wonder whats that second additional tab?"

Jessica: "I don't know, does it rhyme with ampion histem?"

You are right this is the second clue about the Champion System, so we will be able to access it from our UI then which is account wide and maybe leaves room for future account wide features / additional tabs.

lol! Best post of the year.

DenverRalphy

Huh... I must have missed it when I watched...

I only recall the "That's the plan" quote when asked if the provisioning revamp would be making it into 1.6. And the "rhymes with ampion histem" was just contemplation as to what something represented in the screenshot (an extra xp bar) while showing the UI for pets/collectibles/etc.. but made no mention that it will appear in update 6 as well.

Nope, the "That's the plan quote" was when I asked Jessica about whether the champ system would be making Update 6.

That's good to hear then. =D I guess I actually did just miss it.
