The Mad God's Bargain
Could you add a permanent reward for choosing to save Valaste? that is different, but comparable to Folium Discognitum (2 skill points).

Since it is a role playing choice maybe reward players with access to Valaste secret library of books that teach you to do more fun things (e.g. unique motif, train a unique pet, unique skill line, unique personality, etc)

Also maybe have a veteran level solo quest* for players to [rescue Valaste or steal the book] so players have the option of gaining both rewards in the end, depending on the choice they made initally.
* Quest the requires players to have good amount of champion points to be successful

I agree with this as well, a better reward would be better. Perhaps since consoles don't have UI add ons, there could be a secret ruin that is unlocked that when completing it unlocks the locations of all Sky-shards within the game that the player has access to. So in essence a little mini quest to add a little immersion to unlock things that PC players have had for a while. Also they could do like what you suggested and unlock different skill lines and such, but what about adding a mini quest that you can get from her library that adds a new magical based weapon system that perhaps may not be common with the elder scrolls series, but it is with many fantasy based series. Blade staffs this would be a weapon that takes all 4 weapon slots, one would be melee the other the typical magical ranged attack, they would do the same damage statistics as their regular counterparts for fairness, but would have fancier sound effects and fancier looks than their regular counterparts. For example a mini quest where you go to the heart of aetherius or even another realm and find the schematics or (motif) to a long lost weapon(blade staff) that was never finished. You could also add an interesting twist to this for example if you are not a Sorcerer, but are a Nightblade you could unlock a crossbow motif, in a Templar's case an actual physical spear that has a permanent enchantment of sunlight motif. So yeah it would need to be planned, but in theory it could work and at the same time add a few new ways to play without doing too many dramatic changes.

I know you guys keep stats of some items that drop in game, so......
How many Aetheric Cyphers have dropped since they were introduced?

Consensus at the moment is that the item was just added to the game to placate those that commented that the new crown store XP scrolls were much more potent than anything found in game.
Simply adding an item to the loot list that has PRACTICALLY no chance to drop in any reasonable time frame (say a week of every single ESO player currently playing) is a low act.
Sure you can now say that an equatable item to the new crown store XP scroll drops in the game, but seriously how stupid do you think we are...

I don't know who had this bright idea, but it has done more harm than good to the general community perception of ZOS and will create a benchmark of what to expect in the future.

Can't recall if this has been answered before.. but...

Has it even been considered to expand the amount of quests we can have our journal? We have a ton of dailies now and it's nice to grab them all and go out exploring and go back to town when we are done, rather than coming back after every daily.

First of all I second this!!!

And secondly....when the Heck do we get another ESO Live?????

Thirdly, since I know it's Thanksgiving here in the US...I'm thankful for all of the fun I've had for going on 3 years playing ESO...so THANK YOU ZOS!


Now, BACK to the first 2 questions if you please

Krainor1974

Looks like they not doing ESO lives soon, it's been a while.

Dharnagon

Why no Black Friday discounts on eso plus?

AshTal

Have an additional question because it seems to happen to me so often

"Do you ever play ESO ..... and PvP and watch 1 guy slaughter 5 to 8 other players all max level all geared out and think, hmm either his cheating or we may need to balance PvP better?"

BossXV

What will the DLC release schedule be like this year

rosendoichinoveb17_ESO

will we receive jewelry crafting soon?

altemriel

will we receive jewelry crafting soon?

NewbieOKS

I have some suggestions and questions, sorry if repost or in the wrong subforum...

1) In the ESO login windows screen (when we click play) or in the in-game login screen before the character selection (when we input our login name and password) why dont post a notes and link to the support website or to this official forum if anyone encounter login problems? (e.g : new players just finish installed the game and they didnt know they need to link the game base with their ESO id account first or maybe they havent create an ESO id account first on ESO website yet)

Reason:
Most people if they are new and encounter problems like for example crash problems, login problems etc mostly will go googling first before they can think of the official forum or support website at first time and then after no good luck, they will get dissapointed and lost interest.

Check out the steam discussions for the ESO game at Steam....there is always people posting new discussion posts over and over when they have login issues or crash issues

2) the official support website at elder scrolls online need to be redesigned to be more user friendly, easy to find and not confusing. Need to be user friendly for any platform the players used (PC and consoles) so anyone can easy and fast access to any problems they encounter.

3) place a dedicated 24 hours official ZOS representatives at Steam like ones (@ZOS) in this official forum. Not all people will go to the official forum if they encounter a technical issue. Usually they will ask from other fellow players at Steam.

4) better, fast and more responsive customer service either from Steam or ZOS for the all the ESO players.

I think most people if they play on PC will choose to play from Steam instead of installing the game base directly from ESO website because Steam is a very popular game client. Just look at the login stats and rating for ESO game right now in Steam. I understand since the free weekend commences, many people rush out to install and play the game, some gave positive comments, but for negative comments mostly they post their dissapointment and anger due to technical issues they encounter...

Hope my suggestions can be received and considered

Thanks in advance

I have a question that I've mentioned before, but felt it wouldn't hurt to post here.

Why are some of the races limited with their customization options while others have options that aren't supported in the lore of the Elder Scrolls? What I mean is some of the races, like the Imperials and High Elves lack options for those made by players that NPCs have in the game, and have shown in previous games. Imperial NPCs can be pale like a Breton or as dark as player-made ones can, yet those fairer complexions are missing for players. High Elf NPCs have dark hair like black and dark-brown, yet player-made ones lack it. Orcs in general lack any true green skin-tone, the closest being green-ish grays for players and NPCs alike. Is there a way you could adjust the character creation options for each race, include options NPCs have that players lack access to in some way?

Previous games created by Bethesda show these mentioned options on NPCs in each game, and many NPCs have shown the options exist but aren't allowed for player-use. It seems odd to exclude certain color choices for hair, skin, and eyes for players entirely.

CovertDistress4

With cookie cutter builds and proc sets all the rage, the entertainment value has dropped off. I spent 3 hours in haderus on my newly respec blazing shield, got nearly 500 kills... all for spamming one button... real skill there...just every 4 seconds hit my b button and every now and again use my lightning staff to get magicka back... really hard build to play... sure I died a few times, but not 500 times... I log back in with stam blade running 5 piece hundings 3 piece agility and 2 piece king slayer... get one hit by another stam running syphers viper build... again not even a chance to do anything... mix that with lag and the ever constant dc making this game a less then enjoyable experience it once was... my question is: are you going to lower these proc damages so it's more enjoyable then running from the keep you just respawed at just to get one hit again to log out and stop playing your game? like me... is there hope or is this it?

Elebeth

Hmm,
I was thinking about ESO Live earlier today, about how long there was none. Decided to come here and see if some official info is posted regarding the next airing date, only to find lots of other people asking the same question.

When was the last ESO Live anyway; August?!

DRXHarbinger

When are you going to fix Cyro? Or least even attempt it? Random disconnects and then a straight 10mins loading time ( seriously *** off with the "this may be an unusually long load time " we know it...we are the ones sitting here.

This really drains any enjoyments out of put 5fps battles we get to have.

2nd...please fix the 5fps in Cyro.

Shouldn't have to ask for normal performance really. Nothing has changed in Cyro ever. Stop devoting resources to making crap to try and sell your angry player base and get on with it.

Darius771

When will ESO stop being TSO - Tanker Scrolls Online?
Could be block mitigation and bonuses allowed only against attacks received from same direction?

I can only imagine them replying to it as: [That will be released when it needs to be released] or [Soon(TM)].

Vanthras79

What was the main reason that developers from ESO okayed crown crates?

Tanis-Stormbinder

Are Infallible Aether jewelry part of the Cyrodiil Gold vendor loot table?
Is jewelry crafting still something we can expect in future expansions?

SoberAlias

Currently Guild Store Items for sale are categorized according to the listed price (lowest to highest or vice-versa). This can become cumbersome when having to scroll past multiples of the same item. Will there ever be an upcoming update to include the ability to also sort items "Alphabetically"?

SoberAlias

The advantage of playing ESO on PC is the ability to add mods in order to improve your gaming experience. With that said "Will there ever be an upcoming update for PS4 or XB1 to include the ability to add mods?
This mod is currently available to PC players and it would also be very beneficial to console players as well.

HairyFairy

How can i put a video in my post?

SneaK

Could you please elaborate on some methods you are using or looking into to improve the performance (lag) on console? Moreover, the frame rate drops in Cyrodiil and the immediate kick-to-homescreens.

Try something, anything. Seriously cannot make it worse. Shut it down for a week or more if need be.

Someone brought up the idea of an appearance tab and it has some merit. They wouldn't need to alter current items, it would allow people to run whatever they want and give crafters a reason to collect all these motifs. It might even mitigate the desire for weapon dying as folks could choose say the voidsteel look of the weapon to replace the red weapons we're currently strapped with.

In several other MMOs it is implemented as a tab on the item sheet that mirrors the equipable slots. Items placed in the appearance slot would not have any of its stats applied but would overide the style visible on the slot.

Adding a slot in the dying stations for Appearance items would be a must as well.

Possibly making it so the disguise slot on the equipment tab override the appearance slots

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom, @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_KaiSchober Is there a possiblity of getting something like this implemented? Adding this to the ask us anything thread as well..

Nelphy

Why is there nothing to buy in the in game Crown store, do ZeniMax Online not want money?

All I want to see is a new item every week or so in the crown store and for it to stay in the store, yes so I can buy it and have some choice over what I buy. Limited availability time content is a joke as it leaves your in game store looking like a ghost town.

Believe it or not modern consumers like variety and are happy to pay for it. The game “Warframe” regularly introduces a wide range of cosmetic content which it does not remove from its store, Warframe even implements quality community made content in their game which players are willing to pay for.

Considering the amount of money it takes to design, sculpt and animate a new pet or mount would pale in comparison to what you would make from selling it why are you not making a new one every week?

Lastly “Crown Crates” are a toxic idea. I and many other players find the idea of throwing our money at random chance offensive, especially when the majority of the Crown Store content you would be packing into the crates would offer only miserably short temporary boosts, the majority of which are available for free in game anyway.

Could we get jester themed target test dummies for housing or in the future? This would pay homage to the Wrobel themed testing dummies rumored to litter the Dev servers.

I've been playing since beta (yet my 2nd time ever logged in to forums) and I love the progress the game has made since then, but there is still a lot of room for improvement.

The above quote is a great idea. I don't mind farming for good gear, in fact it's one of the main reasons I enjoy MMO's. What I don't enjoy though is having a good gear set which looks terrible (kinda like starting gear). This annoys me. Some sort of appearance change or transmog would be great and is certainly doable. I want my dropped sets to have the appearance of the oh so many motifs I've been buying/farming for since launch.

P.s jewellery crafting I've been waiting on since it was mentioned, well over a year ago I think? Might add a little extra benefit to crafted sets, which at the moment are pretty useless unless you're crafting starting-off cp160 dungeon gear for alts.

Questions!

1. Will houses be available through crowns? And yes, I mean the actual houses and not furniture.
2. Will we see Guild Halls? Houses linked to a guild and managed by the Guild Master but not owned by that person.
3. Will we see mount tabards in the Alliance War Horses fashion but with Guild Tabards anytime?

Cheers!

No guild housing but there's some huge houses that can be used as guild housing. Housing for start is gold purchased but at some point I believe there will be CS housing because it will be great profits for them.
