    Hey Jason/ Gina/ Jess/ Gary/ Kai (or whomever monitors this),

    I have two questions;

    1. Seeing as Bethesda is an official partner this year, will ZOS and ESO be at EGX London? This would be great for all of your English fans who don't get much love when it comes to conventions.

    2. How will you handle the transition over to Windows 10? Will ESO have DirectX 12 specific effects implemented, or will we just see performance improvements from the new API?

    Thanks and keep up the awesome work!

    If the console launch goes smoothly do you have an approximate date for when the next significant content update might be? One month, three months, six months?

    I appreciate you cannot be specific but right now we all just feel like we are starring into a content void with no information and no timescale. We don't know what you plan to introduce next and we have no idea when it might be.

    I know you are very excited and busy with the console launch but it will make no difference to the game experience of most of the PC players who are already here - we need something to make us feel excited about the game again.

    @ZOS Staff,

    Can you officially answer the following:
    -Has TESO passed certification with Xbox One yet?
    -Has TESO been delayed with Xbox One based on the June 9th 2015 release date?
    -Will we see the game in the Xbox One digital store to pre-order prior to May 25, 2015?

    I ask all of these questions because the game has been removed from Xbox One coming soon and the ability to pre-order the game on the Xbox One site is no longer available.

    Now that I finally finished all research and max all crafting skills on my main character (vs spread across many chars), I love to see (and know) how many others completed this feat. Would ZOS consider adding a player stats page to the website showing players that completed or max crafting skills?

    Are mounts saddle/bags colored to those use in dyes? If mount accessories not going to have option to be dyed, how about adding matching colors as unlocked dyes with crown purchase of mount. Would ZOS have plans for this in the future?

    LORE QUESTION: Dragons in TES aren't the typical fire breathing beast we see in other fictional universes, they actually use the Thu'um, a type of magic that enables them to cast spells of immense power. The Thu'um can be used for a wide variety of purposes, anything from sharpening blades to quickly traveling across the land, even controlling animals or killing enemies. Since they haven't been seen for centuries, most of the powers the Dragons use are thought to be just myths. But, there's at least two abilities the Dragons have that is acknowledged by almost everyone: Their ability to use Fire & Frost.
    So my question is, if DragonKnights claim their abilities come from the Dragons themselves, some even saying they use Real Dragon Magic, how come they only use Fire? It is widely known that Dragons use Frost as well, so how come there aren't any Frost Dragonknights?

    I was against the changes to the Redguard armor at first since it was my favorite style but I got really attached to it afterwards. Unfortunately I'm sure you are aware that the Redguard heavy armor came with a lot of bugs and flaws. Such as the floating (causing a clipping issue) heavy girdle glitch, the (only two dye?) mislabeled greaves, and the random changing color of the jewels in the armor (the jewel color should be the same as the tertiary color in my opinion and not a random color based on the secondary color). Has the department that created the new armor seen the issues I'm talking about and has any progress been made to fix these issues?

    And on the dye note once again... SHIELD DYES?!

    With Character Transfers happening on June 1st, can you finally tell us what resolution and frame rate for each console will be? We know you Knowledge Base states the target is 1080p/30fps, but many in your forums want to know if you achieved those targets. With the game 19 days away, I am sure that this is something that has been nailed down already.

    I would greatly appreciate any information or answers that could be provided for any of the following. Thank you!

    1. Will there be a wolf pet added at some point?

    2. There was mention that we could toggle features such as saddlebags on our mounts. Is this still going to be added into the game, and is there an estimated timeframe?

    3. Could a feature be added to preview armor pieces on our character before crafting them?

    4. Any word on when a race change and/or character editor will be added?

    5. Is there any cross faction content planned? (Outside of Cyrodil) Would love to be able to team up with other alliance members for instanced dungeons, possibly fighting a common enemy like Daedra.

    6. Would you consider adding the armors from the cinematic trailer as costumes (Nord, Breton, Altmer characters).

    7. Would you ever hold an event for fans and ZOS to get together like an ESOCON?

    1. There seems to be some confusion about the removal of the Veteran Ranks in the next major content update, could you explain if its still the plan to remove Veteran Ranks and introduce seasonal gear? If so, what will happen to the current gear and the requirements to wear it?

    2. You mentioned that there will be a crafting location in Imperial City where Imperial Daedric armor can be crafted, will this gear also have a unique set bonus or will it be mainly cosmetic?

    3. Are there plans to add any gear crafting locations with new set bonuses? If so, could you gives us some specifics?

    4. Are there plans to make craftable jewelry or ways to improve the quality of the current jewelry?

    Are target dummies (Wrobel Dummies :) ) planned for an upcoming release and if so please let us know if they are at least planned, even better if you have a rough estimate on timing.

    Just one example: Configurable dummies that we can spawn with a specific configuration and setup (resists, resource pools, recovery rates etc...) that allows us to perform sustained DPS testing ( > 120 seconds) with various builds, skill rotations etc... Many forms of testing can be completed either on Live or PTS, but this specific scenario is one of the most difficult to adequately test. Running these in the live environment is not viable for a long list of reasons.

    The problem with training dummies is the entire game's system changes depending on what the level of the target is. So having a standard training dummy wouldn't work because how do you differentiate between Lv1 and VR14? Different armor defenses, stats, etc. You'd almost need multiple dummies with independent levels to test with, so you'd need a dummy or two in different zones with unique stats to cater to those characters.

    Not impossible, just adds a bit more of a challenge -vs- just adding a training dummy.

    With the fact that most of the illegal gold sellers got their upgrade and can basically double their revenue now with character transfers...why are we blocking others who are willing to pay the extra 70 bucks to buy another copy? Most MMO who go cross platform allow this because the understand that it takes a long time to make master crafter and suck it is a lot of devotion and to have to start over is harsh. Plus I'm sure you all remember the economy at launch where they locked down the werewolf and vamp spawns and made the prices outrageous plus farming nodes and leaving worms for others to pick up as they sold their resources highly overpriced just to turn around and illegally sell the gold. If you allow everyone to bring their characters over we can help counter act that since you will have more people who have resource to provide thus making it harder for the gold sellers to lock down the market like they did with the PC release. I personally have already paid the extra 80 for the deluxe ps4 edition and have played ESO sine July 2nd of last year. Their are alto of people who went PC waiting who are now considering not getting the console version just because they don't want to have to start over. I hope we can find a way to keep these players in the game as quite a few of my guild mates are not making the crossover with me.

    The game already has level scaling. If they ever implement this it would be after vet ranks are removed. At that point you would simply have both the player and target dummy set to level 50 (via phasing or instancing). I would like to see some sort of apparatus where you're pulling levers to make modifications (armor, spell resist, health, etc) to a dwemer centurion dummy. They could make it part of a new skill line called Dwemer Engineering and have achievements for managing to kill the dummy within a certain time limit or when a certain amount of regen and restistances are applied to the dummy.

    Really we do it without like, the musical instruments. This is the only musical: the mouth. And hopefully the brain attached to the mouth. Right? The brain, more important than the mouth, is the brain. The brain is much more important.
