ZOS_GinaBruno

This is the official discussion thread for the blog article The Future of ESO Panel. We hope to see you either in the livestream or in person at QuakeCon! What topic has you most excited?

Quintal

Well...this QuakeCon is gonna be very interesting!

Neizir

I'm eagerly anticipating the Justice System and the Champion System

_subjectnamehere_

Someone please ask him if they are going to encourage people NOT to grind in Craglorn and play the content instead! I don't care how they do it, but they MUST do it! They totally screwed up that zone!

mr.scottkenyonub17_ESO

I'm a long ways to Craglorn, unlike the players who beat the game within the first three days. Just... no appreciation for the game... no wonder people got bored of it, because they beat it so fast!

Brandoid

Really want to know what they will do with the Imperial City.

Ghenra

What is the champion system?

Laura

I'm going just for you guys

I'd like to read it if I could actually click on something on your guys website without it asking for my birth date over and over.. I can't access the article because it won't stop asking me.

I am more interested in the spell crafting and the champion and justice system. I hope going to be in a update soon.

Imperator_Clydus

Finally some news on the Imperial City!

I'm aware of the Justice system, but what is the Champion system? Is this a new feature? I wonder if this is another clue suggesting some sort of Arena system. Perhaps it's just a morality system that ties into the Justice system.

This should be interesting to watch at the very least.

I'm excited to hear for the changes to Cyrodiil/Imperial City and Champion Content. Let's hope they're meaningful, and numerous!

I had this problem using firefox, tried chrome and it worked fine.

I believe - though not entirely certain yet - it will replace Veteran Ranks.

This is not the reason they got bored and left so fast..... VR zones were a drag and sucked.... they are making improvements because everyone quit at VR 1-3.... or a large majority of people.

If you listen closely the Champion system is an AA system similar to RIFT/DAOC system where they could increase passives like base stats, crit chance etc. Make the character advance and become stronger through gaining passives and not just equipment.

By bad, not listen closely lol..... listening to paul sage on http://elderscrollsotr.mymiddleearth.com/2014/07/11/episode-118-update-3-w-paul-sage/ tons of new information right here in this.

Ghenra

Oh! Champion System = more vertical progression.

Pffffffff.........

ZOS_GinaBruno

Hey guys! Now that you've seen the list of topics we'll be discussing, if you have a question that you'd like us to answer during the Q&A please post it here. Thanks!

Erock25

Question: A lot of us are playing characters that we created on the very first day of Early Access. Certain build ideas we had at the time did not work out how we thought, resulting in racial passives that are all but useless for how we play our class. Is there any hope for these non-min/max'd characters that we may someday be able to purchase a race change? If not race change, perhaps a racial passive change?

Worked for me, but here you go

Find out who will be on next week’s QuakeCon panel, the topics they’ll cover, and where to watch.

QuakeCon is just a week away. We’re ready, are you? Even if you can’t join us in person, you can watch the full Future of ESO panel and Q&A session on the Bethesda twitch channel.

The panel begins at 5:00PM CDT on Friday, July 18th. Game Director Matt Firor will introduce the panel and be present for the Q&A. Here are our speakers, the topics you can expect them to cover, and the order in which they will present:

Lead Content Designer Rich Lambert – Veteran City of Ash dungeon, region three of Craglorn, dungeon replayability, and grouping improvements
Lead PvP Designer Brian Wheeler – the Imperial City
Lead Client Programmer Jesse McIntyre – facial animations
Creative Director Paul Sage – the Champion System and the Justice System
Lead Gameplay Designer Nick Konkle – Spellcrafting
Art Director Jared Carr – combat responsiveness and new PvE content
The Q&A session will follow immediately after the presentation, and all of our panelists will answer questions until we’re out of time. The panel is only part of the fun we have planned for the show, so check out our detailed QuakeCon article to make sure you don’t miss anything. See you at the show!

Discuss this on the official ESO forums.

As a Templar, I hope I can put Champion Points into big gains in Magicka Recovery. Maybe I won't run out of resources in the middle of each fight or have to stand around waiting for my entire magicka bar to regen between trash pulls...

For Lead PvP Designer Brian Wheeler – the Imperial City

Will The Imperial City be the only PVP area planned for the far future? Any chances for PVP areas out in the sea (Reference: Sea Battle Quest in Aldmeri Dominon)?

DeadByNow

Keeping dungeons Fun. Is there any plans to make rare parts or material that will be required to drop from bosses. It would be awesome if rare items dropped that were crafting materials. Then you would have to take the item to your trusted smith to have the item made or added to a weapon/armor.

Inzababa

PvP content, what are the plans, what can we expect soon?

Will ZOS focus a bit more on PvP since the first 3 content patches have almost exclusively been on PvE? (apart from fixes and a few balance tweeks).

Minigames / Arena?

Guild vs Guild content?

What's this PvP dungeon we heard about some weeks ago?

Aortick

O I wish I could go to QuakeCon, but will definitely will be watching the Twitch Stream. Thanks for Streaming it.

ShadowHvo

Oh oh I have a question!

Is either player housing or guild housing a thing you're working on?

Leijona

Q: When will we see some time sinks that are not related to fighting? Such as mini games, housing, music system (Lotro), horse races or stuff like that.

mr.scottkenyonub17_ESO

Question: When will we expect to see updated models for the race designs? I know, when it comes to the biology of the races, that both Argonians and Kahjiit have digitgrade feet rather than plantigrade, the latter being present in the current designs, the result of Bethesda being under time restraints (or just being lazy).
