    On that note... here's the OP again, as a reminder of what "on-topic" means for this thread: :)
    Hi everyone!

    Starting now, during every ESO Live we’ll hold a Q&A where we’ll answer some of your questions about the game. All you have to do is post your questions in this thread and we’ll choose some to answer every two weeks on the show, though we do want to remind you to please be constructive with your questions. If you’re able to join us during the show, we’ll also take some questions from chat as well!

    Thanks for your support, and we hope you’ll enjoy this new segment!

    Question.

    If you guys wanted to stop perma blocking in Cyrodiil and it in general why not just simplely grey out skills when blocking to stop block casting instead of making so you regenerate little to no stamina when blocking???? Like that's the problem about perma blocking is that they block cast all there skills while only taking half damage not that they could do it forever.

    Like ZoS there has been alot of feedback about block casting and most of the community wants it out of the game. Sure you guys said you left it in on purpose but it is just one of those ideas that sounds good on paper but in action is a very abused and broken mechanic and it needs to go.

    Please add text support! The lack of communication options is driving me back to WoW, but I want to play ESO.

    As much as I would like Text Communication, I seriously doubt any one game is "driving" you back to the "MMO that shall not be named". If you really wanted to play ESO, you would simply play it. Done. Simple.

    The point was that the game is great to play, but the social aspects aren't very good. I'd like to see the Xbox communications brought up to speed with the PC. I want to sit on the couch, not in front of the computer.

    Technically, you should be able to do both (sit on the couch in front of the computer) if you have a TV made in the last 5-10 years or so. Text support across those platforms that have the necessary input devices would be nice, though.

    Having played mmos for 15 years I find the community is what keeps me playing any one game for years.

    Lack of text really limits community interaction. Having to communicate with friends and guildies through psn features is ridiculous

    Exactly the lack of Social features along with "Names" that don't even matter. ZoS quit making excuses and work on Text Chat.

    Geez.

    Imho, I think the majority of actual players are fine with guild chat and would prefer new stable content over redundant communication options that will require an additional purchase of a required peripheral.




    I am in several and if you play on the PS 4, na server, I promise I will personally introduce you to some larger more serious guilds.

    Eb of course.

    We have a lot of laughs and I think you seem like a well reasoned adult who just got a bit frustrated.
    Send me an invite and let's go play the game instead of this.

    The offer is sincere.

    Cheers.



    PS zos

    My friends have asked that I request this,

    A dwemer mount.

    Plzzzzzzzz.

    Anyone I mention this idea to loses their mind with a serious case of 'take my money zos'



    Not the point, I have also met great people. The fact of the matter is, I prefer typing over talking to people. And so do many people, it's also good for Roleplaying which an MMORPG is suppose to also cater toward and completely fails.

    Bro the offer still stands and have you ever table topped?


    I don't think we would have any of these games without d and d?

    Straight voice comms there.

    I was thinking that with all of the emotes and the area chat, roleplaying could REALLY be fun.

    In table top you would narrate to fill for the accent you can't do or actions with no corresponding emote.

    Similar to text roleplaying just faster and with the added level of empathy that vocal inflection brings.

    Sorry for the rant.

    Zos may we have a name tag that states we are 'in character' instead of. 'Tyro'?

    Do you think it would be acceptable to offer a pact similar to the Mara pact where two players could be like best friends instead of getting married? In my case that's just too weird for me to do but having friends bracelets would be awesome.

    Tips for how you can be an ESO Community Hero (Written and last edited by ZOS_GinaBruno at precisely 8:56PM, March 30th 2014.)
    Below are a few recommendations and tips to help you become one of the very best community members — a veritable hero — on The Elder Scrolls Online official community forums. These recommendations and tips also reflect the ESO core community philosophies.
    • Agree to Disagree: We have a very diverse community of individuals and groups who have a variety of interests, opinions, and backgrounds. Just like in every-day life, you will not agree with all the opinions you encounter here, and that’s okay. It’s perfectly acceptable to disagree, but please do not put other people down for their opinions, ideas, or suggestions. In most discussions, there is no right or wrong, just different angles, opinions, and interests.
    • Be Civil and Respectful: Being civil and respectful goes a long way, especially when involved in a heated debate. It is possible to be civil and respectful, even when you strongly disagree with someone. Please remember that everyone on these forums is a real person, like you, who is also here because they love The Elder Scrolls Online and want to talk about it.
    • Enjoy Yourself: Have fun, start interesting discussions, and participate in the community activities and discussions that excite you! You, our fans, set the tone and culture of this community. We’re here to listen, help, and foster that growing culture. We want you do enjoy being here as much as we enjoy having you!
    • Ignore Baiting: Sometimes, another community member will attempt to bait you into a response. Usually, this is to elicit some sort of negative or emotional reaction. Please try your best to recognize when this is happening, and ignore it. You may also report it to the ESO Team if the post or thread is violating our Code of Conduct.
    • Post in the Appropriate Area: Please do your best to post threads in the correct area of the forums. We will move any threads that are posted in the incorrect area, and leave an expiring redirect attached to them. We understand that everyone wants their thread to be seen and gets replies — posting them in the proper section is the best way to make sure that happens.
    • Report Violations: If you notice that another community member is violating our Code of Conduct, please report the post and leave it at that. Do not reply, try to correct their behavior yourself, or tell them that you reported them. We understand that our community members are generally just trying to be helpful when they do these things, but they only serve to exacerbate the issue more often than not.
    • Share Constructive Criticism: We want to hear your thoughts and feedback on The Elder Scrolls Online, negative and positive alike. Please consider how you are posting criticism. If you want to share suggestions or constructive criticism about The Elder Scrolls Online, please tell us about it. It is possible to be negative, respectful, and constructive at the same time. When submitting feedback, consider whether or not what you’re posting will be something the Dev Team can use to turn into real change — constructive negative feedback can be a powerful tool to help us improve the game. Remember, we really do want your feedback!
    • Use the Search Function: Please help us keep discussions as consolidated as possible by using the search function before you create a thread. This will help you to identify if there is already an ongoing discussion about the topic you’re interested in talking about.
    • Welcome New Community Members: Please remember that we were all new in the official The Elder Scrolls Online community at one time. Help us foster a welcoming and safe community by being helpful, kind, and considerate to those who are new to our community.
    • When in Doubt, Ask: If you’re unsure whether or not something is acceptable post or thread material for the official The Elder Scrolls Online community, please feel free to ask a moderator or member of the ESO Team. Simply send us a message — we’re here to help!

    Eso Forum Community Rules. (Adhere to it at all times.)
    Below is a brief explanation of the community rules and expectations for specific topics and situations. If you have any questions about the Community Code of Conduct, please email The Elder Scrolls Online Team at [email protected]
    Abusive Language and Disruptive Behavior: Zenimax do not tolerate abusive language or disruptive behavior on our forums. This goes for abusive and disruptive comments and behavior that are directed at a ZeniMax Online employee and ESO community members alike. Please remember to be respectful and constructive at all times on the forums, and help Zenimax maintain a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for all.
    • Advertising: We do not allow advertising on our forums. This includes, but is not limited to advertisements and promotions for the following:
      • Outside businesses and services.
      • Other games.
      • Any venture that results in monetary profit.
      We do not consider the promotion of guilds, fan sites, and fan groups, or the activities and content thereof, to be advertising. Please feel free to let The Elder Scrolls Online community know all about your guild, fan site, or fan group! Simply keep in mind that you may not promote your guild, fan site, or fan group if you are looking to turn a monetary profit by doing so.
      • Bashing and Slanderous Comments: We do not permit the bashing of individuals (including ZeniMax employees), groups, or other companies on our forums. We believe that doing so is neither constructive nor in spirit of our game and community.
      • Conspiracy Theories and Misinformation: We do not tolerate the deliberate and malicious spreading of false info or conspiracy theories about ZeniMax Online Studios, its game(s), or its employees. This does not include honest mistakes; rather, this rule pertains to those who go out of their way to spread harmful or malicious rumors about ZeniMax Online Studios and its employees, or The Elder Scrolls Online.
      • Copyright Infringement: Names and Material: We do not allow copyright-protected names on our forums. Copyright-protected names are typically from well-known original characters in books, games, and movies. We also do not permit discussion about the illegal distribution or use of copyrighted material, such as private game servers or pirated movies, music, and games.
      • Cursing and Profanity: Purposefully circumventing our forum profanity filter or otherwise cursing or using profanity is not permitted on our forums. Our forums have a profanity filter in place for the purpose of keeping profanity off our forums — please help us keep the ESO community constructive and profanity-free by respecting that filter.
      • Demands and Threats: We encourage you to share feedback, suggestion, and requests with us, but we expect all of our community members to refrain from resorting to demands or threats. We believe that demands and threats are not constructive. Threats of real-life violence, in particular, are something we take very seriously and do not tolerate in the ESO community.
      • Deliberately Disobeying a ZeniMax Online Employee: Deliberately disobeying a request or action by a member of the ZeniMax Online Studios/ESO Team is not permitted at any time. As an example, if we close a thread you created and leave an explanation stating why it was closed, you may not re-create the thread.
      • Discussing Disciplinary Actions: If you ever have questions or concerns about a disciplinary action or decision we have made on the ESO forums, or wish to appeal a forum warning or infraction you’ve received, we ask that you please contact https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/ to do so (please specify that you are contacting about a forum-related inquiry or appeal). We are happy to discuss and review specific moderation-related actions with you, but we do not allow discussion of any moderation actions or decisions on our forums. If you have questions or concerns about an in-game disciplinary action, please contact https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/ to ask about a suspension or ban, and any other support-related feedback. We cannot assist with in-game violations on the forums.
      • Flaming: It’s okay to disagree and debate on the official ESO forums, but we do ask that you keep all disagreements civil, constructive, and on-topic. If a discussion gets heated and turns into a debate, remember that you should stick to debating the post and/or thread topic. It is never appropriate to resort to personal comments or jabs about those participating in the thread discussion.
      • Goodbye/Quitting Threads: We understand that sometimes people will leave the ESO community, and want to post a “goodbye” or “quitting” thread. Generally, we have found that “goodbye” and “quitting” threads have a tendency to go downhill fast. It is our policy to read the feedback in “goodbye” and “quitting” threads and close them, regardless of whether they are constructive or not.
      • Hate Speech: We take the use of hate speech very seriously in the official ESO community, and have a zero tolerance policy. Our definition of hate speech is prejudice or hateful comments, slurs, or statements that promote violence or intolerance toward others because of the following:
        • Race.
        • Creed.
        • Color.
        • National Origin.
        • Gender.
        • Age.
        • Disability.
        • Sexual Orientation.
        • Lifestyle.
        • Any other personally identifying factors.
        Please help us ensure that everyone feels welcome and free to participate on the official ESO community forums.
      • Impersonation: We do not tolerate impersonation of any kind in the official ESO community, and take impersonation attempts very seriously when they do occur. Impersonation includes using a display name, photos, posts, or any other material with the intent to fool people into believing you are a ZeniMax Online Studios employee, another community member, a celebrity, or anyone else you are not.
      • Inappropriate Content and Language: Certain topics and subjects are deemed inappropriate and not permitted on the official ESO forums. Things that we consider inappropriate are usually illegal, extremely volatile or violent, obscene, vulgar, or simply inappropriate for an official game forum such as ours. Inappropriate content on the ESO forums includes, but is not limited to the following:
        • Extreme violence
        • Illegal substances and activities
        • Pirated copyright-protected material
        • Pornography and other sexually explicit topics
        • Real-world religion and politics
        • Tasteless, vulgar, or obscene material
        One specific term we’d like to call out, as well, is the term “gay.” It is never appropriate to use “gay” as a derogatory term.
      • Malicious Links: We do not tolerate the posting of malicious links on our forums, for any reason. This includes links to pornographic material, key-loggers, and browser hijackers, but also includes links to private game server sites, phishing scams, and sites that sell in-game currencies and power-leveling services.
        We greatly appreciate when our community members wish to report a harmful or misleading ESO-related site to us, but please do not do so on the official ESO forums. If you discover a site you want to report to us, please report them at https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/.
      • Names in Thread Titles: Please refrain from placing the names of ZeniMax Online Studios employees or ESO community members in your thread titles. Directing a thread at a specific individual, or otherwise using a thread to call someone out, is not considered constructive. If you need to get a hold of a specific community member, please send them a private message.
      • Naming-and-Shaming: We do not allow posts or threads that are created for the purpose of “naming-and-shaming” other community member(s). “Naming-and-shaming” is the act of creating a post to call out an individual or group by name, and making them the subject of public accusation, ridicule and/or shaming. Generally, naming-and-shaming involves an in-game situation and/or Terms of Service violation, which the ESO Community Team is unable to assist with. A certain amount of rivalry and competitive razzing is healthy for any game community, especially one with PVP elements, but naming-and-shaming goes well beyond that. It typically elevates to a point where the subject feels legitimately harassed. We believe that naming-and-shaming posts and threads can be abused and are very harmful to the community. We also don't feel that publicly calling out or accusing others by name on our forums is in spirit of the game or our community. If you genuinely believe someone has violated our Terms of Service, you should report them in-game via the support interface — do not bring the situation onto the official ESO community forums.
      • Personal Information: For the sake of your own identity protection and personal privacy, we ask that you please do not share any personal information in the official The Elder Scrolls Online community. This also goes for sharing another community member’s personal information — doing so is not only considered malicious behavior, but it is a violation of our Terms of Service and something we take very seriously.
      • Petitions and Protests: We do not allow petitions or protests on our forums. Due to the fact that both promote the use of demands and replies that consist of “/signed” or little else, we feel that neither encourage nor allow for meaningful and constructive discussion. Instead of using a petition or protest, we recommend presenting your thoughts as a request or suggestion so everyone in the community can discuss it.
      • Role-Play/Fan Fiction God Modding: We support the fan fiction and role-playing communities on the ESO forum, and ask that you please respect your fellow writers and role-players by not “god modding.” God modding is the act of forcing another community member’s character into a situation they have not agreed to. If you wish to involve another person's character in a story or role-play scenario, please respect that individual’s wishes and get their permission first. Failure to do so is considered “god modding,” and is not allowed on the ESO forums.
      • Rude and Insulting Comments/Commentary: We understand that sometimes tempers rise, but it is never acceptable to resort to rude comments and insults. This goes for rude comments and insults directed at other community members, and ZeniMax Online Studios employees alike.
      • Selling, Trading, and Sharing Game Accounts: The act of selling, trading, or sharing your ESO account is a violation of our Terms of Service. As such, we also do not allow discussion about selling, trading, or sharing game accounts on our forums.
      • Spamming: Please do not post spam on the official The Elder Scrolls Online forums. Below are a few examples of what we define as spamming:
        • Posting the same message more than once.
        • Posting messages that are nonsensical or have no real content.
        • Posting messages or images large enough to disrupt the normal flow of conversation.
        • Reposting material that has been removed by a member of the ESO Team.
        Also, please refrain from posting the same topic in multiple areas of the forum, or cross-posting in an attempt to gain further views or replies. This is considered spamming, and the duplicate threads will be removed.
      • Thread Bumping: Please refrain from replying to discussion threads for the sole purpose of “bumping” them. This is considered to be a form of spam because it does not add to the discussion in a constructive or meaningful way. We understand that everyone would like to keep their discussion active and visible, but we encourage you to strive for meaningful and constructive posts instead of posts that consist of nothing more than “Bump!”
      • Trolling or Baiting: The act of trolling is defined as something that is created for the intent to provoke conflict, shock others, or to elicit a strong negative or emotional reaction. It’s okay and very normal to disagree with others, and even to debate, but provoking conflict, baiting, inciting, mocking, etc. is never acceptable in the official The Elder Scrolls Online community. If you do not have something constructive or meaningful to add to a discussion, we strongly recommend you refrain from posting in that thread, and find another discussion to participate in instead. It is also not constructive or helpful to publicly call out others and accuse them of trolling, or call them a troll—please refrain from doing so. If you genuinely believe someone is trolling, please report the post or thread to the ESO Team, and leave it at that.

    While doing the daily pledges I have come across several people that I've added to my friends list so we could maybe group up again sometime. However this usually doesn't happen because I always forget who played what class (tank, dps or healer). So I was wondering, would it be possible to ad the roll someone is playing on the character they are logged on with to your friends list. You can already see their faction, location character name, class and level. Why not the roll they have selected in their grouping tool. This would make grouping with people in your friends list a lot easier.

    So, really, your issue isn't with someones opinion, but with ZOS and their choices. I get it, you don't agree with it. You're passionate about it. However horrible you may think it is and how much you think it's needed, in the end, it's still just your opinion. Even if thousands or hundreds of thousands agree with you, it's still just an opinion and not fact.

    Sorry it's a Objective Opinion that it's bad for many reasons people have mentioned. Objective is not the same as an Subjective opinion like you suggest.
    The fact is, the game is still playable without it and will continue to be playable without it.
    So is Big Rigs and Duke Nukem Forever.
    Until ZOS decideds to include it or not, indefinitely, figure out alternatives.
    Which shouldn't be the case and shows that the developers are incompetent in there job.
    There have only been two, afaik, true MMOs on console.
    Wrong. And FFXI was on the PS2 and also had text chat.
    One of those is still currently a PS/PC exclusive. The other, that was released more recently, has text chat, but is incredibly flooded with spam messages and marketing messages, it's impossible to use correctly.
    That's the MODERATORS job, this gets taken care of fast in any good MMO.
    If people in my guild need to communicate and aren't on a mic or not able to be in general guild chat, we use a group chat app. It's really not that difficult to find alternative methods until ZOS decides to implement text chat.

    Fact of the matter, YOU SHOULDN'T need to do that, and it shows ZoS is completely incompetent.

    First off, I like the polite wording of your request.
    More people should take notes from your etiquette.

    Second I totally agree and would like to politely repeat this question.

    If not a vampire form, then maybe a supernatural themed expansion?

    Cheers.

    If you formed a group dungeon themed guild, you could edit that into the player notes.

    Its what I do. Tank. Heavy armor blacksmith, etc.

    I'm sure if you explained the purpose of your guild, you would be mobbed with tons of interest and create a go to place for grouping.

    The point was that the game is great to play, but the social aspects aren't very good. I'd like to see the Xbox communications brought up to speed with the PC. I want to sit on the couch, not in front of the computer.

    Technically, you should be able to do both (sit on the couch in front of the computer) if you have a TV made in the last 5-10 years or so. Text support across those platforms that have the necessary input devices would be nice, though.

    Having played mmos for 15 years I find the community is what keeps me playing any one game for years.

    Lack of text really limits community interaction. Having to communicate with friends and guildies through psn features is ridiculous

    Exactly the lack of Social features along with "Names" that don't even matter. ZoS quit making excuses and work on Text Chat.

    Geez.

    Imho, I think the majority of actual players are fine with guild chat and would prefer new stable content over redundant communication options that will require an additional purchase of a required peripheral.




    I am in several and if you play on the PS 4, na server, I promise I will personally introduce you to some larger more serious guilds.

    Eb of course.

    We have a lot of laughs and I think you seem like a well reasoned adult who just got a bit frustrated.
    Send me an invite and let's go play the game instead of this.

    The offer is sincere.

    Cheers.



    PS zos

    My friends have asked that I request this,

    A dwemer mount.

    Plzzzzzzzz.

    Anyone I mention this idea to loses their mind with a serious case of 'take my money zos'



    Not the point, I have also met great people. The fact of the matter is, I prefer typing over talking to people. And so do many people, it's also good for Roleplaying which an MMORPG is suppose to also cater toward and completely fails.

    Bro the offer still stands and have you ever table topped?


    I don't think we would have any of these games without d and d?

    Straight voice comms there.

    I was thinking that with all of the emotes and the area chat, roleplaying could REALLY be fun.

    In table top you would narrate to fill for the accent you can't do or actions with no corresponding emote.

    Similar to text roleplaying just faster and with the added level of empathy that vocal inflection brings.

    Sorry for the rant.

    Zos may we have a name tag that states we are 'in character' instead of. 'Tyro'?

    offer? lol.

    Yeah let's just play more and argue less. PS 4 na server ep.

    It would be funny if they locked this thread

    I would just expect banned accounts if the campaigning and rudeness gets out of hand.

    A Polite Request of Posters in this thread:

    Could we all please try not to reply to, or argue with, other posters here.

    And, just let @GinaBruno decide which posts she wishes to pick & choose?

    If each of us feels the need to reply to evey post made it will make Gina Bruno's job ten times harder to go through this thread and find questions for ESO LIve.

    Again...just a polite request.

    The gameplay is exactly the same on both.
    How you play the game and what's on your screen are the differences.

    They both are more fun than typing on the forums;)

    But I actually really love the console community.

    Just wondering if ESO ever plans on fixing the feeding timer for being a vampire. Having to feed on a enemy human NPC while sneaking and staying hidden every 30 minutes to prevent the negative side effects of a vampire is quite redundant. Hard to find a enemy human in the game, let alone with them being alone to be able to sneak up on them a tad bit easier. Highly recommend the timer to be extended or feeding stacks the timer. Like if I could feed off humans in a area like 10 times and have the timer extend to 3 hours before going to stage 2 vampire. It would make more sense. The werewolves in the game have such a higher advantage and way less cons. Be best to just fix the feeding timer and reduce the fire damage a little for the vampires to make it decent.

    Question:

    When can consoles players expect a a simple "yes", "no", or "we are working on it" answer to the simple question; "Is text communications coming to consoles?"



    Thank You,



    You give me a chat box ZOS and I'll start giving you my money again.

    Maybe if you guys asked it like this! We know in beta there was text chat in consoles UI, is there any plans to unlock it so we can finally use it?

    Everybody I know has seen that video and laughed at the excuse ZoS made in that video when they tried explaining why they didn't add text chat. If that isn't saying something I don't know what is.

    .... I have to admit, the devs do listen to reason, if not to the forums. Thank you for "nameplates", a welcome addition to immersion, as well as the text chat box for PS4, which only comes on the screen when I need it too, and helps this gameplay SO MUCH MORE then without it. THANK YOU for the additions. Very much appreciated.

    I see you started a trend by quoting me. (lol)


    Keep it up until we do get that; "yes, no, or working on it" answer. ;)
