Why did you tell us you increased the drop rate of certain trophies when you clearly didn't?
Deadroths, Harvesters and Ogrims don't seem to drop any trophies at all...

Can you un nerf GDB and Reflect?

lonewolf26

Were all of the Cyrodiil pop caps increased significantly lately? Last night no one campaign on PC NA was over one bar. If not, where'd everyone go?

AshTal

What have you learn't from Imperial city, what would you have changed, done differently, how will what you have learnt influence the next DLC and are you concerned that imperial city will become a ghost town once the hard core player base has grounded out the Mats for the Vet 16 gear?

SleepyTroll

ZOS where the road ahead? where the seasonal gear? where the cp seasons? where's the no vet ranks? whereas the fixed loading screens? where's the 2nd half of the justice system? where The mixed rule set pvp campaigns(not score)? where is the transparency? where's the console text chat? where the PC controller support? What happened to spell crafting and why? Why do you just nerf classes and not work on the real problem? Do you think its ok to be able to solo the last boss in White Gold Tower? Why is there only 3 v16 jewelry sets? Are you trying to force us into builds? Will AP ever be viable again other then the tele stones? What are you guys doing? Do you guys even play the game?

Please answer at least one of the above questions:)

That is a UI error which seems to have been fixed


1. Can we get Alchemy hirelings so that the few reagents which can not be obtained by writ containers or surveys (Emetic Russula, Imp Stool, White Cap, and a few others) do not have to be solely harvested in the open world.

2. The enraging flesh atronachs in Veteran Prison is a gimmicky mechanic which favors gear/dps checks. Can they at least hit a max of 20k while enraged instead of almost 200k?

Spider Daedra don't have trophies either. It could be that they didn't want everything to have a chance at dropping a trophy. I think it would have been smarter to ensure everything in IC has a drop chance for a trophy, instead of fixing the actual rates.

The treasure chests in IC that spawn a portal event are usually bugged. When it does bug, iit usually disrupts mobs that are close by from spawning. Also, it only rewards one person, which is probably intended but still stupid.

When are the champion point catch up & seasons going to be implemented? The current imbalance discourages new players to join the game and make current non grinding players feel like they're just wasting time if they aren't grinding 24/7.

audrieltheelf

So you killed zombie grinding with your "desecrated ground" addition and overnight, when you put the glass motif on the crown store, you apparently also killed the spider grinding in the Imperial City. So the "play the game the way you want" isn't actually true unless you're playing the way YOU want us to.

Enodoc

@ZOS_JasonLeavey Is episode 25 (11 Sept) up on YouTube yet? I can't find it.

Bashev

@ZOS_RichLambert Will you review some of the Dragonknights skills? The class used to be tanky and had a nice self heal. This is not the case anymore.

JD2013

Rich, what are your plans for the future of Elder Scrolls Online? Given that you did a bunch of work on Oblivion, you know what makes an Elder Scrolls game. Will we see a proper story expansion, for example as the Planemeld story is now basically over rather than just zones with no interconnecting stories?

ZOS_JasonLeavey

@Enodoc, it will be up shortly! Apologies for the delay, but we're working on getting that up before today's show.

I thought you guys said you were going to start posting your times in BST/CET as well ? there's players in Europe that watch too

Can we possibly see an increase to vampire rotation on console? Minor request, but still desired by some. At the moment we're getting WW spawn most of the week and bloodfiends maybe once, with some rotations spawning nothing. This may be due to people killing them though. However I've seen werewolves spawn 4 cycles in a row, then nothing spawn then werewolves again o.o Craziness and a bit of a time sync. I've seen guilds camp The Rift for 3 straight real world days for bloodfiends and not find any due to werewolves spawning almost every cycle.

EDIT: I meant for PC, but I'm sure console wouldn't mind the increase as well lol

Divinius

The changes made in the recent update to the achievement-based "collectible" trophies seem to be causing universal displeasure for everyone that is still working on these already difficult achievements. There have been several threads on the forums regarding the topic. { thread1, thread2, thread3 }

No one likes the changes and limitations, and they make the achievements virtually impossible to get in some cases. Has there been any consideration given to reverting these unwanted changes, or at least allowing the items to be bankable once again?

Preyfar

Once you hit VR15/16 the loot system becomes dull and boring. There's really no variety to the endgame as the economy is focused on three sets: agility, endurance and willpower. Sets don't drop from monsters, bosses* or chests and grinding for loot just becomes tedious as it's solely for monster trophies and to deconstruct items.

Will ZOS add set drops back to bosses, treasure chests or other encounters? It doesn't have to Tel Var or IC armor, but there's an entire array of armor choices out there that completely vanish at the end game. Some are available in Rewards for the Worthy, but they're still few and far between.

* Minor exception for dungeons, but it only applies to jewelry.

Champion point system...I'm a new player, but I haven't seen this mentioned. Is it supposed to be impacting me as a new player? Or is this an end game thing?

Mojmir

Why are you against xp grinding but for telvar grinding?
What happened to play your way?
Are you going to add more classes in the next 6 months?
Any future plans to make eso+ membership stand out?

ZOS_JasonLeavey

@Enodoc, episode 25 is up on YouTube now!

@Pappa, if you switch the language view of the article at the top to "English (INT'L)" it will show the time in BST.

Also is there any plans for a new race - I've heard players toss around fox type race, or maybe dwemer/dwarves making an appearance from underground, the sky or a secret oblivion relm.

And possibly more character slots added? Although someone mentioned this part being a technological limitation? o.0

Djeriko

Was it intentional for the dye system to produce incorrect colors on Glass armor? Are we basically being told that even tho we earned those dyes, we can't have them on our awesome, expensive, shiny new armor? Yeah if you haven't already noticed, the colors on the dyes for Glass armor are all off.

Iluvrien

Why take questions from Twitch chat but ignore your AUA thread?
