Think the ESO was fine. its ment to all people also the ones that have not seen all the new things or don't come by the forum much.

An i donøt get way people think they can demand to know stuff. if they aint ready to talk about it they don't and way do people like to know things that are not done and may change anyway? It don't help anyone.

Zenimax are re-releasing this game in a couple of months. If they are not prepared to answer what will be done of the veteran system now, then when? When it is released in console with as much success as on the PC?

Try to understand, guys like me and @Joejudas come to this forum and create polemic posts because we care about the game and we want to see it succeed. Zenimax's lack of transparency borders paranoia. The fact they won't release patch notes until half an hour before the patch is live is just one example of that.

But what if VR stays, and still is there when it come out on console? So what? what do it change? nothing.... they change it when they have the system, blanace and work done for it. don't get way all the haste..

They seem very down to earth. And think its a good thing and something i like rather then a business man giving us alot of numbers,

Gods, @ZOS_GinaBruno, aren't you tired of answering about player housing? Seriously! Every episode... No player housing for a very long time guys! It is still on the developer's dreams!

I know what you're saying but so long as there is no player housing I'll keep asking. If Zeni want us to be silent on the topic all they have to do is invest some development time to it and keep us in the loop.

SO right there with you. It is NOT a dead horse as long as players continue to want it. They KNOW it is a greatly desired feature and will become even more so now that we'll be locked out of most houses and entering them will become a crime. I, and many others, have offered a plethora of suggestions for a stop gap "until you can FINALLY get around to housing" system. Things like making it so that when you go to enter a house in a city or even a castle you are offered a choice of "Enter Regular Instance" or "Enter Private Instance." Choosing the "private entrance" would give you a house empty of NPCs and anyone grouped with you, when they chose "private entrance," would also end up in your instance. Honestly, this is all most roleplayers need, a cool space to play in where they won't be trolled. Think of the headaches the Devs would save themselves instead of constantly having to deal with reports because some mental thirteen year old insists on leaping about, spamming spells, and talking about their p3ni$ while calling everyone "f@gg0t$." And THAT is just going to get a LOT worse with the B2P model.

But they're NEVER going to do this. Why? Because they WILL eventually offer player housing as a cash shop item because they know they stand to make a killing off it. But, unfortunately, even THAT is likely 2 to 3 years away...when they've run out of ideas for the cash store and need a big jolt of money to keep their investors happy and actually need all the roleplayers who have bailed in frustration to come back now that FINALLY they are giving us what we want. Just look at SWTOR, that bastion of everything slimy thing you can possibly do to (insert sure to be censored word here) over your customers. That's EXACTLY what they did. And I ALMOST went for it. And I am predicting now that it's EXACTLY what ZOS intends to do.

And if I'm right, that is totally unacceptable. It's bad enough that they're going to make us pay for player housing in the cash shop when it should have been an integral part of the game at launch. It needs to be IN the cash shop absolutely no later than 3 months after the switch over to B2P. Christmas of this year AT THE VERY LATEST.

Ya I mean we dont want real data we want a couple people sitting around in t-shirts and blue jeans telling us stuff we already know.

Noo nither one of them... Only the more hardcore player like to hear and care about the damage on one skill rather then what is overall comming out.
It has to be infomative and letting also new people know what happens and will come.

What? So wanting to know things like what is the plan for the imperial city now or whats happening with the new solo friendly PVE area they talked about is only for hardcore players?

Noo.. read again what i said..

I guess you are going to have to translate because I dont understand what you are saying. You say knowing what each skill does is only for hardcore players? Or knowing anything in the future is only for hardcore players? Even casual people like to know about changes to skills etc right?

Ok two arguements here;

1. One is that the majority of the stuff on ESO Live was not addressing what the players were asking.
2. The second is that they are probably fed up of the same question week in week out, even though they actually answered it months ago, and nothing's changed.

In regards to the first arguement, they had an ESO Live last week, which stole most of the revelations they had, the one in a fortnight or so will be better. Also they don't want to say "We don't know yet" or "It depends" which is the answer to most of the questions asked.

In regards to the second, the reason most of us keep asking the same questions week in week out, is that there is a dearth of information for us. So of the questions have been answered and should be ingored, but many others have never been answered, and we really, really, really want those answers. We also want updates as soon as possible, we want to know when shields will be dyable, etc.

Exactly! Here are more of my opinions on the subject: We don't care for ESO live where its the same rehash content from the LIVE show before. We don't care to hear the same questions being answered. ZOS acts like they don't have any content to talk about, fine, but you do have a PTS to talk about. Take a page from Carbine Studios and make your next LIVE all about your new PTS. Talk to us about what you, ZOS, wanted to see and thoughts about the PTS for things like bugs and player feedback. Tell us about the feedback you're getting from us, the players, and how our feedback is helping you fix this and that and giving you all new ideas ect... There's really so much stuff that ZOS could talk about that we need to know, not just want to know, but really need to know if they even see our feedback. Telling us that you all watch player streams and listen to feedback means nothing to us if you can't really talk to us about it! ZOS, go check out some of Carbine's old videos for when WildStar was in beta and coming out into release. Those guys had it hands down the way it should be. You're a Gaming Studio, not a corp office where we the players are trying to talk to your owners so stop hiding from us.

I didn't like the first couple of episodes. It was awkward and embarrassing as they were still learning to host a show and there were no real questions and answers. But when I try to watch it as some kind of activity where the community gets together and have some fun with each other and the devs, it is actually pretty fun, especially the episode Jason Leavy doing Mickey Mouse and Gina laughing like crazy. That was hilarious.

They are getting better at hosting. And honestly, I do enjoy watching the "life at ZOS" part as I love this game and so forth I want to know more about the devs as my friends and what is it like to work at ZOS. I like Zach sharing his passion about his work and those funny questions with the loremaster today. Simply Gina and Jessica giggling alone can make me laugh. LOL.

I have been pretty negative about the recent changes to the game and made many complaints and criticism but I must say I love ESO Live and I hope they can keep up the good work. @ZOS_GinaBruno‌ @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

With that being said, while I appreciate devs explaining what is going on now or showing some playthrough videos (the one earlier today was fun), I do agree with the OP on the "they chose easy questions" part. For example, questions about housing have been asked a thousand times and we know it is probably on the top of the list, so if you can't share anything new, why bother answering it again?

Yes, I would like that, so would most of us.

Thanks for the feedback on the show, everyone. We are, indeed, reading it.

ESO Live is a community show; a variety show, if you will. We understand that you may not like every segment, but there's something for everyone. We want to spotlight members of our community and their efforts in addition to news about the game and development.

There are some questions we either don't have an answer to, or simply aren't ready to discuss yet. Some features are in development, and aren't ready to be delved into quite yet. Chris spent almost an hour on the show discussing features on the PTS in addition to some issues that we're addressing (the keyword there is some ). Eric wasn't able to join us on the show yesterday as he's busy making necessary changes - any time spent on the show is time that he isn't working on the game.

We'll continue to adjust the show based on your feedback. At the end of the day, the show is for you all! That said, please be constructive and keep all the above points in mind. Thanks!

There's nothing wrong with your show if it wasn't the only show. However, far as I know, your show on the 19th of every month is the only show. How about this; whenever you have patches out on the PTS, you have a show or a detailed forum post, ever week or two that the PTS is active that is dedicated to the patch and what's happening. I don't want to see you guys change your ESO LIve show too much because the show serves a more casual and fun show. Thanks for your stopping by today.

" Why cant we build fires with wood we cut? " That was answered during ESO live. You know what wasnt answered " Why was the raid gear nerfed so badly " Will you make cp easier to gain ?

No offense to RP people....but the " i want to build a campfire" stuff can wait. there is a serious s storm brewing over this awful 1.6 system and we have to listen to them answer questions about campfires.

Please just make the world Open PvP THEN give the RP'rs Campfires to gather around and sing songs and shake their bosoms at each other....pretty please...with sugar on top.

Someone's been watching the Hunger Games too much!

This a little off topic but does share some bonds.

How about you guys cut some things out of 1.6. You can go ahead and put in everything but the Champion System and also don't put in any of the class changes. Spend the next One Solid Year rethinking and building the new Champion System and the changes to the classes. I do not want my char to be half the hero it once was. I do not want to lose the current play style that has been a joy for me to play. I do not want to wait for months on end for everything to be balance out before I can find a play style that I'll enjoy. I do not want this Champion System that is really a nerf to my class so that I can bring him back up to par through 3 years of spending points in the Champion System. It's my opinion with the time I've spent with my chars that I now HATE MY CLASS which will only lead to me Hating The Game And Not Playing, which will lead to, Less Players. Thanks for reading our feedback ZOS.

I like the show, maybe tackle a few more of the hot topics, maybe put out some fires in the rumor mill before people believe them to be the truth.

Other than that I find it fun and entertaining and I do learn a thing or two every now and then.

I am always amazed at the fan submissions, some of the art work is really cool, and the armor some folks have made, deserves the showcase on the show, there is kind of a sub culture around Elder Scrolls.

Maybe you should get up to speed and read around and watch eso live.

Update 6 is a 3 stage update for pc.

part 1 get it to a point where it's getting used on pts. And do minor changes to it on pts.

part 2 release a more filled out version of update 6 with most of the completed systems and any further changes.

part 3 update 6 comes out with all the systems good to go.

I think the swap to free 2 play on March 17 is part of stage 2 but it could be completely separate.


VR ranks are 100% gone when stage 3 is out on pc and consoles won't have any VR ranks ever.

You should really stop fussing over VR ranks as ZoS are telling you they will be gone by mid year.

Most people who watched eso live got that information.

I didnt watch the whole thing but did they say that VR ranks will be gone before the console release?
