Aw, no vet Arx Corinium?

Ever since the buy to play model was introduced it seems like the plan to add vet versions of all base game dungeons was scrapped

Will we get to see Mr. Wrobel this time or no ETA?

Lettigall

@ZOS_GinaBruno give us


In next update supposed to be a lot of class rebalancing, but man of the hour haven't been on ESO live for ages!

Takllin

Disappointed that @Wrobel will not be on and that we will be missing out again on class balance news. Was hoping that with the PTS notes coming next week, we could get some kind of discussion on ESO Live as a precursor to this.

Also, what about the new Cyrodil vendor? Will there be anything about this?

ZOS_GinaBruno

Wrobel will be on a future show (potentially the next one). For now, we want to show some of the new content in the DLC game pack. We want to give you guys a chance to read all the patch notes, play around with some of the balance changes, and formulate any questions you may have.

Sounds good. Thank you Gina

Pretty solid point.

I agree with this. There are icons for Undaunted sets from Arx Corinium, Blackheart Haven and every other dungeon in the game so why don't we have Veteran versions of these yet? The Monster Set system is great but really lacks variety as there are only a few good ones.

A nice rebalance and a token system to get the shoulders you want along with Veteran versions of the old dungeons would be most welcome.

So you're talking about the shiny stuff in the Thieve guild DLC.... So any chance at all you'll talk about the base game patch which mostly every one really wants and the supposed balancing that it is bringing or is their not EAT on it or is it on the back burner for now?

I really hope I can catch the stream! Thieves guild seems like yet another good new flavour to the game. after Wrothgar.

I'm waiting for new game play mechanics (thievy ones, I guess), info about the assistant, lurks to the area, even new emotes. And reason to go to old areas is superb.

Very solid point.

But still...inb4 impatient crybabies still cry.

We will, just not for today's show. We'll get into items from the base game patch starting in 2 weeks, and cover those in-depth until Thieves Guild launches.

Why not? I know that you are going to change a lot. That's why i even can't craft items for my first vr16 character, this is too expensive to change my stuff in one month because of rebalance.

Thanks. Paid content first, please.

What wait. We get natch potes early? Or you mean the PTS natch potes next week. I want natch potes.

PTS natch potes will be published next week.

A few trial related questions @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_GinaBruno :

1. Will the trial leaderboards remain character based in the TG DLC? Is there any plans to go to a team based ranking or an account based ranking?

Participation is expected to increase significantly and the current leaderboard system fills the first 50-75 spots quickly with only a few regular teams and their Alts.

2. Will v16 MOL gear have a chance to drop in the weekly rewards from AA, HRC and SO?

3. Are vDSA weekly rewards being scaled to v16 as well?

4. Will the weekly rewards from AA, HRC and SO include scaled v16 versions of older sets? for example Silks of the Sun or Warlock's.

5. What is the lowest level the new trial will scale to? v1 or lower?

6. What the 3 new craftable sets? how many traits? Where do we get style material?

7. What are the new "PVE group based" bonus sets?

I agree with you both... but reading between the lines here, the more recent dungeons that have been released haven't followed the traditional model where the vet dungeon was totally different... new mechanics, new bosses, story continuation etc.

The vet versions just became an identical copy with mobs & bosses that had higher dps/more hp.

I don't see much point in doing vet versions of Arx etc if they are just going to be the original version on steroids. They need to re-make them in the same vein as CoA etc.

I'm in Australia and may not get the chance to watch ESO live.

- Crafter question..
Just wondering whether the new Hammerfell? map will be as unforgiving when it comes to top tier material nodes as a max crafter is lucky to find 1 rubedo/rubedite etc out of 10 nodes on Wrothgar.

Is this the new standard for all dlcs from here on out or will we be able to farm only materials our crafting level and none below? I'd hope that requiring ten times the amount of mats per item was enough of a grind to accentuate the difficulty in acquiring top tier armour and weapons.

Lettigall

I think class rebalance is at least as much awaited as new DLC and Eric Wrobel should have been on ESO live to tell his vision how he want classes to work in this update. Actually, he should have been on previous show, Brian Wheeler didn't have anything super important to add since last show, seems he acted more like real stand up guy.

Are there any plans to help build/set diversity by adding more significant set bonuses and/or more achievable jewelry with 5 set piece bonuses?

Thanks

Didgerion

Why would they bring Wrobel now?

The community already proved it's maturity level with the last show. Now expect no details at all unless there is a real ETA for it.

Thanks @ZOS_KaiSchober for working to keep the spam under control this time.

Did anyone happen to notice the Wayshrine along the Gold Coast (Anvil, maybe?)

Nirvava4EM

I haven't been able to watch it yet. Any information on the assistances?
