Welcome @ZOS_Kevin.
I sincerely hope you are active and don't mysteriously disappear like the last forum ZOS reps.

^^This^^

We've seen community managers. They come & go, with the notable exception of Gina and Jessica. Kai's gone (at least in the english-speaking aspects of the job). Sarah seems to be holding on a bit...
We've seen Rich try to Talk&Lurk... didn't last long.
We've seen the three magi Edward, Chris and Holden. Didn't even last a month.
We've had community ambassadors. Worked for a while, but it's gone now.
We've had class representatives... has it ever worked ? Not sure, but it's gone now too anyway.

So welcome to you, @Zos_Kevin , and let's hope you can build something here.

Well we may not be Community Ambassadors any more but a few of us are still about

Thing is, we can't see you unless you want us to (like everything with paws and claws) ;-)

This one has always thought that it would be nice to have a 'follow poster' option so you could see when someone you find interesting has posted, much like notifications for bookmarked threads.

It is something this one has wished for herself on occasions. The poster could and should though have the choice of opting out of being followed if they so choose.

More work, but you can just bookmark the profile then stalk them see if they posted anything that way...

Sadly, I do think that has been used to harass people on the forum, though.

You can bookmark profiles? TIL!

Just remember... with this great power comes suspensions, bans, and the inevitable restraining order.

Heh, yes, use responsibly. I might have to use it to follow the Dev accounts since we still don't have the Dev Tracker button on the Mobile version of the forums.

@ZOS_Kevin Suggestion... get yourself a fancy forum title. Jessica and Gina get to be a "Community Manager". You are a mere "Admin". (Edit... "admin"... not even capitalized....)

I suggest "Grand Forum Overlord". I dare you to think of something better.

ZOS_Kevin

@Ashtaris, I feel like I win either way with an immortal soul. That's how that works, right?

ZOS_Kevin

@Elsonso I'm submitting this for an official title change.

Welcome @ZOS_Kevin nice to have you with us and glad to see some more forum engagement headed our way.

I think for my feedback I'd say ideally some more communication on bug status (even just a 'seen and under investigation' as a first step). Also PvP is in dire need of some interaction since the positive work Gina started prior to the performance tests.

This would be an ideal issue to start with

Well, considering that just having a soul puts you head and shoulders above thousands of Vestiges, I'd say so!

Welcome! Now please fix the emperor glitch in midyear mayhem evergloam campaign before the event ends?

Hey Kevin,

Can I make a suggestion? Can you create a console subforum.

I feel like often console specific feedback gets completely lost.

Some primary concerns off the top of my head is that it feels like trials and dungeon hard achievements are designed with addons on in mind, resulting in it console players often being months and weeks behind PC clear times. They can swap gear during trash pulls and have a lot of communication about when to block or when an add is coming etc that console simply doesn't have. It leads to some resentment between the platforms.

Console UI is often inadequate compared to PC because they have addons to improve it, like map pins for content they have previously discovered.

And I have been trying to alert ZOS to a broken housing feature for a while now, but haven't been able to keep it bumped. Most people here are PC so can't comment on such things.

Gina is looking forward to the day she logs into less than 1000 forum notifications. The pressure’s on @ZOS_Kevin

Welcome aboard!

1,000 salutations and Welcome Sera to the family!!
Happy you are here!

You poor soul... Welcome to Hell

To add more to my post: Everyone please remember poor Kevin likely doesn't fiddle with the actual coding and balance of the game! It's not his fault, be kind! Don't scare him off.

Hi Kevin!

Anyone with a pet cat they care deeply about is A-ok in my book

Your enthusiasm is welcome and I hope you can keep that up!

Zypheran

@ZOS_Kevin welcome.
Delighted to see a new team member to support the communication channels.
It's interesting that the games we play as first games or in our teens gives away our age😄
My own first game that I owned was Centepede on the Atari 2600 😧
Wishing you the best of luck in the new role. Hope to see you drop by the housing channel.
Quick question, does your role mean we no longer ping Gina for everything? If so, can we still ping her on natch potes day?😄

ZOS_Kevin

Hey @Zypheran! Thanks for the warm welcome! Very much looking forward to spending some time in the housing channel soon. I've heard nothing but great things!

I think the best way to look at it is you can include me in those general forum pings. We will be communicating as a team, so the more eyes, the better. And no change for pings for patch notes.

Lady_Galadhiel

Welcome @ZOS_Kevin \o/ Glad to have you with us.
Will see you in the housing section

Are you taking @ZOS_Adrikoth's place as admin?

What is the most difficult thing that you've done in ESO @ZOS_Kevin?

I hope this means bright things around the corner and a team hustle to get back on track after our collective two year 'break'!

Welcome here.

Welcome!

I see them welcome Kevin and I see the server break in the same day... coincidence? I think not.

Stop it Kevin.

Welcome, @ZOS_Kevin, and kudos to you, you're a very brave man. I know I speak for several of us when I say that one of your top priorities in the next few days should be to post several pictures of your Ellie, because you mentioned her so now we know and that means there's a cat tax to be paid in pics.

Ps NA is down again

StabbityDoom

@ZOS_Kevin does this mean you will also be handling facilitating dev communication on the forums? IE does it go through you? So that we will see more of that since this is your primary focus?

I know Gina is SLAMMED pretty much all the time so I was hoping....

LOL. I get your joke. But 3 days, oh no!
@ZOS_Kevin Will you be checking forums from home on your days off or should we occasionally expect a 2-3 day pause between your forum interactions?
