Appreciate the opportunity, alongside the round table discussion, to start to get to know Nick. As he finds his feet in his new role, looking forward to seeing the direction he takes the game and the developments he and the Team put in place.

tbf if swimming mounts did take 9 months we will probably never see crossplay

I still find this funny as hell considering mine and many others accounts were banned last year because our PTS profiles overrode out Live profiles. Our PTS NA profiles.....overrode our Live EU profiles.
Just....how exactly isn't it possible?
My twitch drops are shared between both servers. An external website can ping Zos to distribute a reward to my account.
But you cannot book a store purchase for both profiles? Aka accountwide?

More than once in 8v8 deathmatch, I’ve noticed situations where at the start of the match, the teams can be roughly even, around 100-100. Then, one team manages to break through the other, and after that, one team just traps the other at their spawn, ending the match with a score like 100-500. This is yet another example of how poorly the maps and spawn points are designed.
Even though 4v4v4 maps don’t fully solve the spawn camping problem, in 4v4v4 it’s not as oppressive. Sooner or later, the third team rushes in, and the team being farmed at the spawn has to respond, which gives the first team a chance to regroup safely.
So yes, ZOS, bring back our 4v4v4 deathmatch!
What can we expect when they make spawns designed to disadvantage the already losing team
- The losing team is always up on the wall, so they know they didnt win the first engagement
- Then there is a good chance they are down a player because one of their guys escaped and is running around so they are maybe 6-7 vs 8.
- Then they have to make the commitment to jump down and nobody wants to be the first penguin off the iceberg
- Then as they are falling one by one they have to endure 2-3s of enemy attacks before they can even land and cast
- Then they all have to spend 10s or more going defensive to recover and regroup.....maybe setting them back minutes at a time because they are forced to use their ults defensively
- Then they can finally try fighting the 6 or 7v8 against enemies that already beat them in an 8v8
Spawns on the maps should be at level with the ground which would entice hesitant group members to stay balled up with their team as they leave. Then zos just needs to make a one way wall so enemies cant go hard into the spawn. Zos could go a step further and have a two tiered system where there is the one way wall hard safe spawn that forces players out after a 10s timer(enough time to buff up while safe) Then you get pushed out into a soft spawn area where enemies would take a dot damage like slaughterfish if they entered.
Honestly I think having more of a timed spawn regroup mechanic would help the newer players too, to atleast force them to respawn together and have a better chance of staying grouped up
In my opinion, there’s a much simpler solution. As already mentioned in the discussion, it’s enough to just make players on spawn invulnerable, especially since a similar mechanic is already used in IC. You could go further and make the invulnerability last for 5 more seconds after a player leaves the spawn, but it should instantly disable if the player engages in combat. I think 5 seconds is more than enough to get down from the spawn and take a good position.
Re: Public formal confirmation that griefing and bullying isn't against Code of Conduct
Nah, I got an automated response immediately, then 10 minutes later another letter saying they found no violations in the 2 players' behaviour. After that I opened a ticket via the website, attaching screenshots and videos, which they closed after 3 minutes, stating they found no violations. All I want is for them to publicly say we can grief dungeon groups with no repercussions if that's the case.
from what i have been told, they reject everything first and you have to -appeal- it. so after the initial automated response and then that second (totally not automated right? >.>) response saying they didn't find anything, you are supposed to reply to that and keep it going. it sounds like you opened a completely new second ticket?
it's a HORRIBLE and underhanded system.
Re: Public formal confirmation that griefing and bullying isn't against Code of Conduct
I filed an in-game report, which was declined 10min later after a "thorough" investigation. Then I filed another report via the website, which was closed after 3 minutes, another "thorough" investigation I presume.
You've misunderstood how the support ticket function works.
Whenever you raise a ticket you'll receive an automated response very quickly. This hasn't 'closed' the ticket but if you don't reply to it the ticket will be considered closed (they might investigate but it's very unlikely).
If you want your ticket to actually be looked at you need to go to the website and reply - you can attach any videos or screenshots at that point too.
Its still unlikely they do anything but still maybe more helpful than the auto response

Maybe the reason they're extending the projected life of the game to 30+ years is so as to accommodate the work they need to do in order to implement crossplay

Will ZoS ever fix Trifocus exploit in PvP?
I don't really know what to say, getting hit for upwards of 26k from a fairly tanky build, on a proper pvp setup with 40k hp 29k armor, I guess i can't prove that it infact is a bug by looking at this, but it sure feels that way. I wish I could hear from ZoS what they think of this, but im sure i will receive a generic response from a bot that says they see nothing wrong.
Re: TODAY: See ESO’s Leadership Team Talk Tamriel at Gamescom 2025
I don't get it. I skimmed the ESO part of the Twitch stream every 5 minutes. There was no news?
It's just them doing small talk and saying nothing?
I love ESO, but that's rough. Every game there had something to announce. Why go to Gamescon if you have nothing to advertise? Why livestream small talk that says nothing?
