You realize that you now have to go through with the yarn thing. No one is allowed to disappoint @SantieClaws , the most worthy participant of these forums, barring none. And I mean that to the letter of what I have written.

Oh I know... @SantieClaws always finds a way to brighten my day when reading the forums.

This sounds like the perfect time to add a new stolen lootable item of "a bundle of yarn". Do it, Rich. You have the power!

- Which is your favourite Dungeon?

Vaults of Madness... it was the first dungeon I ever worked on. (I was the dungeon team lead waaaaayyyy back when)

Mine, too!

I remember the first time I ever ran Vaults of Madness. I fell in love with ESO Dungeons and my character on that run, and it will always be my favorite, no matter how many awesome new dungeons get added.

Will there ever be a veteran version of that dungeon? You probably can't answer that here, but I had to ask! The storyline for the dungeon leaves it open for a sequel, so I remain hopeful. C'mon, you know you want to!


As for questions you will be allowed to answer, Which of your characters is your favorite, and why?
Mine will always be my dragonknight healer, because she was my first, she is frequently underestimated (leading to fun reactions), and I have learned so much while playing her.

Vaults of Madness is the least visited dungeon for me but by far my favorite! The boss encounters are fun, dungeon layout promoting of exploration and the platforming is a great change of pace.

Not to mention some of those boss entrances are just stunning...

You said you like playing healer types... Have you got 5p Spell Power Cure in perfect traits and how long did it take you to farm?

There's hope for my Templar kitty yet then hehe

That was the sound of Khajiit hitting the floor outside The Rosy Lion.

This time less than the usual amount of booze was involved. Khajiit will make up for it later. When she has scrubbed the Breton footprints from the face.

Arena 7 - those mushrooms make me want to break things....

How many things did you break?

A mouse... and there's a rather large hunk taken out of my desk. Also, I generally run VMA after the kids go to bed as there can sometimes be much cursing.

And now we know why magplar is melting so much face. The Man rolls it.

What's the questions that he edited out of the OP? Were they the tough questions that need asking or more light hearted nonsense?

I love the dye you get from killing Molag Bal. It's like a golden purple. It goes great with the dye for beating the main quest.

I'm confused, isn't killing Molag Bal beating the main quest?

Also what dye is that, coldharbor ash? That's the blackest of blacks on the couple things I've used it on, haven't seen a "golden purple".

Hey @ZOS_RichLambert!


Thanks for your work on Vaults of Madness! The Mad Architect's attack with the glass bubble is stunning. My friends and I will melt everything else through the dungeon, but deliberately back off until he does that attack simply because of how beautiful it is. It's one of our favorite dungeons to run and we're looking forward to a vet version. Hint hint. (:

Q: If you could design a dungeon for any Daedric Prince that we haven't explored much before (so not Molag Bal, Mehrunes Dagon, frikkin "I'm actually responsible for everything" Mephala...) who would you design it for and what feel would you go for with the place? I'm really looking forward to exploring the Daedric realms for less prolific Princes and hope you've got ideas a-brewin' in that direction.

(Please don't say Mephala.)

Killing the Simalcrum (sp?) of Molag Bal in the Imperial Sewers center grants the Transliminal Violet dye. It shows up as gold on some (most?) pieces. But sometimes it will look purple in the light. In any case, the swatch on the dye screen is definitely purple.

I too, has question for you, mister @ZOS_RichLambert *wave*

- Which is your favourite race (from a Lore/look perspective)

My first character ever made on live was Argonian... so I guess you could say I have a soft spot for them.

Please translate that soft spot to us in the racials! Pretty please! For the good of the Hist!

So new bugs and issues to go with the outstanding bugs and issues? That doesn't tickle my outrageously excited spot.

As others have said, this is a great thread. It's so good to see some proper casual interaction with the player base. Much appreciated - thank you.

UltimaJoe777

This thread went exactly how I hoped and intended it would. Mission complete *walks back into the shadows and vanishes victoriously*

DPShiro wrote: »

I just wanted to chime in and say it's awesome to hear something, anything, from devs and staff.
Community interaction is crucial and I hope this trend will continue!

To be honest they usually respond to positive threads not related to development. You just have to ask the right questions is all

Enemy-of-Coldharbour wrote: »

Why not real questions like:

Why won't you update your servers?
Why are cheaters not really punished?
Why do you refuse to fix bugs that are continually reported?
The list goes on...

Because those are not real questions and some of those have been answered already. This thread is for communication purposes, not complaints. The rest of the forums is the place for that.

That anger comes with the territory though. I can't count how many times I flipped off my TV or cursed at it inside of PvP.

Anger aside, I don't T-Bag when I kill people though, gotta keep it classy like Dudley.



WTB a personality taunt where I throw roses.

Let's not forget how we angrily scream at our game stating it cheats

I'm only 9... I tend to get really angry in PVP when I get owned as badly as I do. We do have a bunch of Rank 20+ devs though.

@ZOS_RichLambert Honest question, would you be open with running Maw of Lorkhaj with us, it would be cool to have developers run dungeons/trials with guilds.

As awesome as that would be it may blow his cover lol

rank 20?!?! do you have anyone who is really into pvp?

He did say 20+ so for all we know that could include a Rank 34 on a side note he's on par with my main Anger aside that is lol

Actually he edited nothing. His responses were numbered incorrectly toward them for some reason, perhaps to make people wonder?

Right on . My first job was at Godfathers Pizza . The Godfather was a tough but fair boss . He made me an offer I couldn't refuse ... Personal pan pizza lunches .

OneKhajiitCrimeWave

Khajiit would like to ask a number of questions, but this one thinks that the most important two will suffice for now:

Please can you confirm if the dungeon's already in the game will get Veteran Dungeons?

Places like Vaults of Madness and Volenfell were left with such an open end and this one would love to see the story continue inside them. Also, more Monster helms (or even monster weapons from these dungeons?)

Khajiit would really also like to know when this one will be able to go home? Please give this one a DLC in the beautiful setting of Elsweyr. A land of bright moons, warm sands and moon sugar rum. A small hint maybe? Will using kitten eyes sway you to tell this one.

tinythinker wrote: »

Glad to see Rich back on the forums! Still waiting for those vMA tips, though...

There are soo many well written / recorded player guides out there that have really great hints and tips. I'll offer a couple quick ones:

• Don 't let your HP hit 0.
• Use and abuse the power ups early and often while you are learning. You don't really need to worry about score for the first few clears.
• Don't be afraid to slow down a fight a bit to regen resources. A huge part of Maelstrom is managing resources and realizing when it is safe to do so.
