On the Subject of Communication

How much communication is enough? Have we improved? Taken a step backwards? What does the community thing?

Are you referring to the players / forum users or to ZOS?

I'm completely satisfied with the amount and quality of communication we have.

I'm not sure. Maybe it would be better to see a little bit more ZOS posts on forum. You need to remember, that devs don't must to communicate with us. But they do a great job: posts on forum, ESO Live, Guild Summit. And CS are great. So, my opinion is that there are enogh communication with players. And I don't looking for green post in every topic on forum.

I think we have good quality communication, but the amount we receive should be increased.

The twitch broadcasts are awesome, and given that new information is likely to be in that I'm fine with the Road Aheads turning in to a synopsis of the various broadcasts.

I realize that the community doesn't get and probably wouldn't responsibly wield "work in progress" updates beyond a high level viewing (it would likely backfire and become platforms for complaint - or worse be taken as fact instead of work in progress/subject to change).

As for bug updates, I dunno, a more detailed system of acknowledging bugs in a status thread would be nice.

I don't know and/or care, I just play the game.

Sometimes it's great, sometimes not.
Often simple questions or requests for clarification get completely ignored, (eg: champion system, Vr levels/points) or the same question asked on the German forum will get an answer imediately while the English remains unanswered.
Feels like the quality of communication/feedback depends on who is 'on duty' at the time.
ESO live is good, but again, they sometimes come across very cagey when answering questions eg: console release.

Edit: I understand that they want to avoid making premature announcement and fueling forum speculation but sometimes the lack of information creates crazy theories and leads to circulation of mis-information.
