ESO Live - Ask Us Anything!

Elsonso · August 2015

Ok, I would like to know more about the day and night cycle in Tamriel. What was the reasoning behind having the day longer than the night? What factors contributed to deciding upon the length of time for each cycle?

Hi, for those of us who liked the visuals of the base game, would you consider giving us the option to switch off player disguises and costumes, so we can see the actual armour they wear instead?

Anyway: can we have an option to hide costumes/disguises of other players the way we can hide the helmets on our own characters?

Hi Randolph. Could you ask ZoS if they're going to put in an option that allows you to switch off player costumes? I could ask myself (again), I suppose, but it seems there's a much better chance of getting an answer if you do it!

Will you consider giving players a "hide costumes" option?

Muizer wrote: »

Costumes may be fun for people to wear, but not always fun for others to have to look at. Would you consider including the option to turn off displaying other players' costumes?

Is horse racing still on the future menu?

Muizer would like to know if ZOS going to put in an option that allows you to switch off player costumes?

In the Lore has there ever been Wolves large enough to ride as mounts?

UltimaJoe777 · August 2015

Coldharbour Siege Weapons (on PS4 at least) currently do not display a ring where they are going to hit. This has been mentioned and complained about due to over half the playerbase abusing it and yet it is not being addressed properly. Therefore I wish to know the answer to this directly from Zenimax themselves:

Was this intentionally designed to be this way or are they truly bugged out and being exploited as a result?

If it was intentional I want to know why.
If it was not intentional I wish to know when it will be addressed and fixed.

Please Zenimax the situation is critical! I am tired of seeing so many of my allies rely on something so dishonorable because frankly I am sick of facepalming and shaking my head in disapproval. What the enemy does is not my concern as it only proves they are weak for using these.

My question stands as you're not ZO$ and I'd like an official answer unless you can point to one

GarnetXVII · August 2015

my voice chat has been unavailable for almost 2 months!!!!!!! how do i fix it anyone????

dudenamedchris · August 2015

If voice chat isn't working for you it's probably your headset. it could also be he controller if your headset is plugged into the controller that way. Check to see if you have voice hat volume turned up. If not then you should do that. Overall voice chat is generally not an issue except in pvp.

He may not be "ZOS", but it is true.

faumadar · August 2015

I was just wondering if we could ever see a playable Necromancer class.

Skill lines could be like
Domination
Death magic
Soul Drain.

Could include abilities like
Dominate undead
eg: Turn undead
Master undead
Various Damage over time spells
eg: Cold of the grave
Touch of the reaper
Necromantic Healing line
eg: Sacrifice: sacrcfe an amount of life/magika to heal ally
Drain: draw life/magika from target to restore caster

Just some Ideas I was tossing around. Personally I enjoy playing the Necromancer class and would really enjoy seeing it implemented....

Can we pretty please with a cherry on top get the cinematic trailer costumes for the launch of Imperial City? It seems like that would be the best timing anyways, since the 3 faction heroes are fighting for the Imperial City in the trailers....

He's not officially ZOS, but note the community ambassador title. It's his stated purpose to give help to players on things that have been stated. That's why they made the position- because they can't field every question. It's fair to ask for a reference, but not fair IMO to say that he's not ZOS.

Eromecno · August 2015

Please invest in fishing. Ocarina of time on the N64 had a better fishing minigame than ESO.

I enjoy having something on the side to do in ESO to make it feel like somewhere to hang out even when im not specifically trying to win or finish the game. Its also lead to some great conversations with other players that wouldnt happen if we were trying to level at that time.

So please improve fishing. Maybe you could make fish active animals like the rabbits, fox, deer, etc already in the game. Then setup simple mechanics for players to cast and reel their lines.Add a basic fight element to the event also where you have to reel in while trying not to break the line. This would lead to players going running around trying to catch rare prize fish if they catch a glimpse of it in the water! You could even go so far as to add a fishing writ. Thats probably going a bit far but seriously you could have an NPC in each area like Auridon that occasionally has a quest for you to catch and bring him a select fish. That would lead players to work on thier fishing a little bit along the way instead of going back to it only after they hit max rank and have crap else to do.

Thank you for listening and I appreciate the great game your providing.

Question #1 would it be possible to create and lead more than one guild?

Question #2 will we be able to get more character slots because 8 isn't enough for me and the European server is to laggy.

Question #3 would it be possible to add an in game pet store that we can spend gold for certain pets?

Question #4 would it be possible to to add a Character editor? The Character editor would allow us players to re-customize our characters appearance which would include skin, height, eye color, body markings, face type, and hair style.

How would more characters address your lag issue?

Unless you mean you want to switch servers....in which case you can already do so - and create another eight characters.

BluSpixMacaw · August 2015

What I meant was The European server is too laggy for to create and play characters on because I'm from North America therefore when I play on the European server it's too laggy.

Ah....so you go to the EU server to create more characters.

Those are pts patch notes that I'm aware of but I'm asking about live and assuming the same will happen on live is a bad idea.

It's a valid assumption, as it has happened that way during every previous update as well. But I understand that you may want to wait and see if they answer it on Friday.

When are you going to get rid of the cooldown time for changing campaigns?

What are some of the Card and Board Games do the residents of Tamriel enjoy playing after a long day of avoiding oblivion?

@Shilling They've never said they would remove it, but they are reducing the time period for Home reassignment in 2.1 to go along with the increased AP cost, as well as increasing the cooldown for Guest reassignment, in an attempt to reduce campaign hopping.

ZOS_BrianWheeler wrote: »

Guest Campaign Reassignment: The cooldown on Guest Campaign reassignment will be increased to 4 days from 3.

Home Campaign Reassignment: The cooldown on Home Campaign reassignment has been changed to 12 hours from 3 days, but the cost to switch will be 150,000 AP instead of 15,000. Also, switching home campaigns at the end of a campaign period will now cost 100 AP instead of 5,000 AP.
