Would ZOS consider adding a new chat command to quickly list crafting levels to show friends or looking for crafting work?

----

example:

/craft

CRAFT ALC 45 BLK 05 CTH 23 ENC 12 PRV 50 WOD 50

Without reading through all of the other posts my questions are:

Would it be possible to have areas that allow friendly dueling between players of the same factions?
What's the likelihood of player housing coming into the game within say the next 12 months?
Is there room in the game for an expanded trading city with a greater number of guild merchants more readily accessible to lower level players (as opposed to say Rawl for example which has I think 5 merchants and is only accessible later on in the 1-50 journey)?

That's it - cheers!

When the Dark Brotherhood is released, will there be a dark brotherhood motif that we can acquire or were those just costumes we saw at Quakecon?

Gyudan · June 2015

Who had the amazing idea to make this?

Was it meant as a joke?

WhiteCoatSyndrome · June 2015

In The Unforeseen Queen it states that Naemon is Ayrenn's eldest brother. This implies she has at least one more. How many siblings does she have?

BigM · June 2015

Just would like an answer about launcher and if there is any talk of finally updating it and make a 20015 version of it? There are so many awesome things you could have on it as in current and future along with date for next patch and so on. Including links to twitch that has been doing an amazing job of advertising the game.

Thank You,

From the old man!

So me and my girlfriend started taking turns on this game, we both made separate characters on my one ESO account, now she wants to get her own xbox so we can play with each other. Can we link two xbox gamertags to one ESO account and play at the same time?

@Magical_Acorns No, each Gamertag must have its own ESOTU account.

willstyles444 · June 2015

why were there 7 days refresh on the v and ww bites?
and why no chatbox in game ?

willstyles444 · June 2015

The lack of a text chat has left us all with no choice but to blow up the forums with stuff that should be handled in game

Jammer480 · June 2015

With so much time to get this game right, why is it still so screwed up? Please explain why there wasn't more thorough alpha and beta testing?

randolphbenoit · June 2015

Now that there 'Superb Triune Alteration potion' in the crown store, when can we expect to be able to craft such potion(s) that not only gives you health, stamina and magica but also health, stamina and magica regeneration?

Kaynehusky · June 2015

This has probably been already asked, but is there any plans to implement in-game voice chat in the PC version, like what's been implemented into the console versions?

sratengel · June 2015

I just bought ESOTU last night, created a character. When I entered the tutorial, none of the sound effects for my character or other characters are working. I CANNOT hear any sound effects or the NPC voices. I can only read the dialogue. Their mouths aren't even moving. I've restarted my xbox several times, unplugged it and waited, I've done power cycling, I've done everything put take the game back. Nothing works. It does it in both servers and on any character I create. HELP!!! i've sent in two customer service tickets

TTSCENTURY · June 2015

I can't find the proper place to post my thoughts so I will try this. If this is the wrong place for it I apologize as I am new to forums in general. Please direct me if I am in the wrong. I wanted to make a suggestion for improvement to the console version of the game. It would be awesome if we could have a more customizable controller layout. I love this game so please don't take offense to this, but I hate having jump and search on the same button so I changed to the only option there is to change it to and I hate that one even worse, as jump becomes clicking my right analog stick, sneak becomes switched to pressing down on the d-pad (forcing me to stop moving) and eliminates quick change between a preset 1st and 3rd view. Yes I can still use the zoom feature to do this I know. The other change I would love to see would be, when I shoot my bow from a far position in sneak, it takes me out of sneak and u must press sneak again to take another shot from sneak. Considering I get a bonus to damage while in stealth mode, of course I would like to remain as sneaky as possible. And I do fully understand if I sneak up on someone and stab them in the back, chances are they will be aware of my position, however if I shoot them from up on a roof a block away hidden in the shadows of the night, I would like to think they may not have become aware of my exact location. This really takes away from me feeling like any kind of master assassin, and leaves me feeling more like a clumsy archer cloaked in neon, yelling "hey!, I'm right here dummy!", after every shot I fire. Lol. Anyway, just wanted to voice my opinions. Sorry for drawing that out, just going for a humorous approach as I don't want to come off as an non-appreciative jerk. I love this game and Zenimax and Bethesda have my life long gratitude, respect, and business.

When are Shields going to be dyable?

Also can we have metallic style dyes for our weapons, some of the colours we get are off-putting, and we would like to dye them colours we can live with?

When can we craft jewellery?

Will we ever get a barbershop, so we can change hairstyles and maybe tatoos and scars.

you don't see jewelry on your character, so why would you want to have jewelry dying??? lol

Is English your first Language?

He asks about dying Shields and Weapons, then asks about crafting Jewelry.

@kijima @Skullemainia I personally don't see why, or how, weapons/shields/jewelry can be dying.

I would like to dye shields with guild emblems. Maybe implement a more intricate dyeing system to the game, with more emblem choices. But dyeing jewelry? No. Crafting jewelry? Sure. Make them out of copper, silver, gold, white gold, or platinum with choices of gems.

Also, for my question:
When will console players get a chance to see the loyalty rewards? I understand that it's been for PC characters, but I feel like them having it exclusively is unfair to us who waited to play it on console because we don't have the money for a decent gaming computer.
I feel that them being the only ones to have it up until now would be a good way to placate them, because they've had their time of entitlement. But for some of us who can't afford to not just pay the monthly ESO subscriber fee, but to also have to buy a good enough computer to run Elder Scrolls Online? Just seems unbalanced and unfair.

Baracuta · June 2015

Armours from Quakecon
E.G. Undaunted armour sets, Morag Tong armour sets, Thieve Guild armour sets. Will these be added as Crown-Store motifs? I'd pay money for that.

Since Beta, this is a simple tripot. Columbine, Mountainflower and i dont remember the last on.
Craftable is 40% better

Columbine, Mountain Flower and Bugloss... ok found and checked. You are right @BuggeX my mistake should have read description better.

Evolv3d · June 2015

Since update 6 racial passives have changed and been buffed etc a lot of ppl has made the wrong race choice and didn’t realise till they hit vet 14.
Is there going to be a race change option for those who have played b4 update 6 and have had to grind it out to vet 14 to find there toons are lacking at top end.
Maybe a crown store scroll, or eso plus deal?
We’re not asking to change alliances just races even if you can only do it if you buy the explores pack

Fecius · June 2015

Hello!

When can we expect your next major patch on PTS?

As a PvE player guessing that we will get an Imperial City this patch I wonder if we have some new Trial with Hard Mode to dive in it? If the answer is “yes”and if it would be inside the IC, will we get the opportunity to get to the Trial not participating in PvP? If there won't be that way, how can PvE players maintain a schedule of our raids since the entrance to the Trial can be unstable because of PvP action? You should know that PvE players usualy try not to get in Cyrodiil if it's possible.

And I just wonder: some of you still used to call this update 1.7. It’s a little bit confusing. Back to the Future after 2.0.x?

buddahburda · June 2015

Why does it Seemingly take the support staff twice as long to perform maintenance on the P S 4 NA megaserver than it does for every single other server and/ or system ?

I find it ridiculous that everyone else in the world is back to playing so much faster than us.

Kingof green · June 2015

My question is when will we see the release of the Imperial City and Wrothgar?

Are you aware it has been broken for over a year on PC/MAC. Hopefully they fix it soon!

SturgeHammer · June 2015

In the recent reddit AMA a bit of information was released on the upcoming class ability changes for stamina Sorcerers. One of the changes mentioned was a stamina morph of lightning form and that has many sorcerers wondering which morph of lightning form is getting replaced. Could we get some clarification on this matter?

kaorunandrak · June 2015

I have a PvP based question for todays show.

After reading the upcoming pvp changes posted to the forum I have found my self in full agreement of the path chosen while still a bit disappointed about having to go down that path. I'm talking of course of the upcoming removal of the passive bonuses outside of pvp. I know many in the pvp community have long wanted the removal of these buffs and I too cheer for the end of "buff servers", as a DAoC Veteran I know how much of a draw those buffs can be for people to earn for their alliance, it just adds another sense of accomplishment to the game.

My long winded question is "What other options were considered to keep the buffs affecting both pvp and pve? Did you guys play around with the idea of making the buff effect the alliance with the most resources over all campaigns? To be clear is it/would it be possible for the buffs to be given to the alliance with the most scrolls/emperors/keeps/outposts/highest total score across all campaigns rather then a by campaign basis?"

So if Ebonheart had more emperors across all campaigns then the Pact would get the emperor bonus as a whole rather then just those players who were part of the campaign that had an EP emperor. I think it would allow you guys to keep the buffs in-game for both pve and pvp while also adding another objective to the over all pvp game as non buffed alliances would push harder across all campaigns to weaken the top alliance. I think that would be the closest to the RvR standard set by DAoC that we could get.

NobleNerd · June 2015

As a guild leader it has become dreadfully clear that we could use some more and better guild management tools. Are there any changes coming up to help us guild leaders/officers to manage the guild better?

Also guild achievements and unlocks would be nice. This would work great by allowing for players to actively represent one of their guilds to get the reward.

Attorneyatlawl · June 2015

When will we be seeing optional overhead nameplates and guildtags? This was mentioned to be in the works possibly last year but we have heard nothing since ?

Also two others from the sister thread to this one

:

In the recent Reddit AMA, it was said that EXP gains will be brought in line with eachother better (aka to parity) for PVE activities, but PVP was not mentioned in this adjustment. Will PVP gains for EXP be raised at the same time to be more in line with PVE mob grinding, bearing in mind of course that PVP action can be spikey by nature so your earnings might be higher or lower depending on the night? Currently you earn around one-fifth of the EXP in a good night's worth of PVP action in a strong group, compared to simply going to always-available, easy-to-kill NPC enemies and killing them all night instead. This creates a very large gap in champion earnings for players who either mostly PVP, or who enjoy both PVE and PVP splitting time between them. Can we expect to see PVP EXP earnings brought in line with PVE methods?

Also, "deathspam" chat channel from beta, as seen in Warhammer Online and Dark Age of Camelot: when are we getting it back?

randolphbenoit · June 2015

I caught an 'Ice Fish' in Eastmarch, does that count as ice fishing?
