I would rather they go light on combat changes right now, personally. I don't think it has anything to do with them not knowing how to fix subclassing either. They usually give us a break after introducing a bunch of sweeping changes.

I'm not asking for like free increased space for housing or anything. I get double furniture cap. But could we perhaps be able to restore items we accidentally pick up without plus? Just a little click undo and place that item without needed the increased cap?

I'd be happy with an option to right-click it and select Hide Collectible. Then a separate menu tab with the hidden collectibles where you can choose Show Collectible.

You have no idea how much I regretted buying the All Hairs / All Adornments pack just so I could use two or three of them

Same! Turns out I never use any of them, and it's hard to find the ones I really want now.

I've been asking for a way to gem out unwanted Crown Crate mounts, pets, costumes, face/body markings, hairstyles, emotes, mementos, skins, major/minor adornments, etc. for years.

Like, we can gem out the motif books, furnishings, potions, poisons, and such so why not the other stuff? I have so much Crate junk just collecting dust, some of which has even been sitting there since the original Storm Atronach release (2016) which will have been 9 years ago in December. Just lemme gem it out ZOS.

More information would be needed to pinpoint a cause

What platform, add-ons in use, network conditions, and possibly hardware would help determine an issue.

During the most recent test, I saw extreme performance issues at peak population, effortlessly unkillable players, and completely inadequate toolkits for solo/small scale pvp.

Knowing zenimax's track record for balancing and listening to player feedback, as well as Brian wheeler's game knowledge + playstyle preferences, I'd say it is extremely optimistic to think they're capable of delivering a well balanced and enjoyable permanent environment with vengeance.

Hope they prove me wrong, though!

Pretty sure they will add Vengeance as an OPTION in the future and leave the current Cyro PvP model intact until the end of ESO.

This is great because people who enjoy Vengeance can play that and others who enjoy the current system can keep playing that.

But for some reason a lot of current Cyro players want Vengeance killed as soon as possible because they see this optional choice as a threat because they fear a lot of people would switch to Vengeance.

Which also clearly signifies they actually understand why Vengeance is so popular compared to live Cyro, if they are so afraid of it.

Vengeance is basically what Hearthstone (the card game) did. At some point they had so many cards and abilities that it became impossible to balance so they created a wild 'anything goes' mode (like current Cyro) and the standard mode that has a curated number of cards and abilities (like Vengeance). Lots of games with so many years of content do this for accessibility and balance reasons.

Nobody fears the implementation of vengeance. We fear it will be the only option and since we won't play any form of vengeance, ESO will become a game we don't spend money on or log into any longer.

We want to acknowledge that we understand the frustration here. We tried to be clear about that earlier this year when noting that this year was one of transition. It's setting things up so we can come through on the "bigger things are coming" part. Development and changing things up takes time to set up. But we are getting close to the point of sharing everything we have been working on. So we appreciate everyone's feedback and passion around this. Leadership really wants the team to take our time on this to make sure we are hitting your expectations and addressing your feedback.

There's a bit of wariness around the "bigger things are coming" message. It's been heard so much before. It's understandable that things take time, and probably even more so now given the transitions you're managing. But be careful with that kind of messaging. I would hate for us to be here again next year, with the same or similar message. This is why the roadmaps and progress reporting are so important. It gives us assurance things are truly progressing and helps manage blowback to your teams.

At this point in the game's life, it's more about showing vs. telling what you're going to do. It feels like we've been telling you guys for years how to communicate with us and it just keeps getting pushed out. The efforts are recognized, but that frustration is real and impacts how much time and money people spend on this game.

Right now, I'm not spending either. With such light content and no real roadmap, there's no real reason for me to do so. And it seems like the focus is more on the Crown store product rotation than keeping people actually playing the game. You guys just streamed new houses that could've been earnable. The new crates content could've been earnable with the relevant content. The current monetization and content volume is going to keep people playing ESO only in the short term.

We have specific questions that we will be asking in the surveys. And we also want to get the most recent feedback from folks. There is definitely feedback to look for here on the forums and other mediums. And the team has looked at those as well. But it’s always good to do a current gut check with folks. We don’t think anyone wants us to spend time on only making changes based on feedback given 2+ years ago. We want to give another opportunity with specific questions to get the most up to date info as the team continues to work.

Two points:

1. There is relevant feedback that's 2+ years old. If it's something like being stuck in combat, yes, I FOR SURE want you guys to spend time on that. Not all gripes are about a recent combat change. There are longstanding issues that are really important to folks. Just bear that in mind, that's all I ask. Completely understandable that you want to make sure feedback is still relevant though.
2. Any time you guys solicit feedback, it'd be great to get a "let me read that back to you" recap post from you. I'm concerned the way you guys interpret and action our feedback sometimes results in something that doesn't match up to the actual feedback. Knowing how our feedback is aggregated and interpreted is going to make this process so much smoother.
