ESO Live - Ask Us Anything!

Greagor · September 2015

People were asking for a long time about the housing system. I know cause ive been one of them. It will give an immersive touch in the game apart from the fact that its an "elder scrolls" concept of all the series. Crown store now could give more options for decorating the house.. and since most of us are collecting sets of beautiful armors we could display them in our houses etc etc. I see lots of potential and could turn out to be a great future dlc. Any thoughts about making something like that happen anytime soon?

According to what I've heard it is coming but no set date yet.

Pretty sure they use Havok, what with it flashing up on the screen when you load the game.

I think @Gidorick I'd talking about the abandoned engine before ZOS went with the Hero engine (same one SWTOR uses)

Greath · September 2015

Not sure if other ESO fans want this but I would like to be able to dye my costumes. Is this something you would consider doing in the near future?

Vonovosi · September 2015

when is the leaderboard notifications settings going to be fixed so that it actually works. every time I reload UI it resets to default setting. Very annoying.

ooh. @HeroOfNone, You think ZOS tried to make their own but just ended up using Hero?

Havok is just the physics plug-in @rootimus... not that ESO takes advantage of Havok... at all.

Zaldan · September 2015

another week with no patch, How can you go 2-3 weeks with no fixes when there's so many known problems?

Thanks for posting that... It was quite entertaining. In particular, this made me chuckle:

"We’re not talking about some of our advanced features yet, which will definitely distance ESO from the competition, especially some of the social features we’re building into our server."

angelyn · September 2015

Question 1:
Now that ZOS have added crafting materials to the crown store (10 pack of malachite), are there plans to sell more crafting materials in the crown store?

Question 2:
Is it intended that stamina have access to 4 weapon skill trees, whereas magicka only have access to 2 weapon skill trees? Or were there originally intentions to have separate weapon skill lines for fire,frost and destruction staff, which would mean both stamina and magicka have access to 4 weapon skill lines each? If there are no plans to provide more magical weapon skill lines, would you consider improving the destruction staff , since it is the only offensive weapon skill line, that magical users have access to?

Suggestions/Thoughts about this in the following thread:

Please please please fix the lag and crash in pvp.

Any chance fishing poles will be added? That stick is too simple,maybe motif fishing poles or something would be aewsome!!

Forestd16b14_ESO · October 2015

@ZOS you guys gonna finally get rid of block casting ? It's really starting to become a blight in the game and is just a poor game design that supports abusing broken mechanics.

Block casting may have sounded like a good idea but it is not a good idea and it just has to go.

And the whole 0 stamina regen while blocking was not the solution to perma blocking ZOS pleanty of players are still able to perma block and will continue because you still have block casting in the game. It's like why drop your block and take full damage from a attack when you can keep it up while casting your spell/skill and take half damage forever ?

Danny231 · October 2015

Are you going to be adding some more main story.

Dober · October 2015

Hey Guys , this is Dober from the Syndicate. I got a question. Well I'm quiet a hero you know. Protector of the week, savior of kings, Damon Slayer and so on but!!!!! I'm freaking Homeless and I hang around with a bunch of Hobos.

So when do we get a Home??? HOUSING PLEASE!!!!!

Mr-jo-handsome · October 2015

When we get housing or a home base of our own is this even an idea thought of yet?

Bowdowntogreatness · October 2015

Will a baber shop be implemented in game to change to look

UltimaJoe777 · October 2015

Yes Barber Shop and Player Housing have been considered and will likely be added. If the word on the street is true it will be.

Akrasjel · October 2015

Are you planning to implement new systems/mechanics in-game that will increase the demand for the most common materials that may not be used to much ?

awilliams8040 · October 2015

When I go to login on eso and it won't let me in why do u always insist it's my connection. And also why is there never anything on this site about the server status obviously it's offline else I wouldn't be here.

SantieClaws · October 2015

This one wonders about the quality of fishing in Orsinium? Any additional fish or benefits of fishing?

Khajiit knows her priorities when travelling to a new place and building cosy homes for big toothy orcs comes second to a good free meal and possible shiny loot.

First person mounting... will it ever become a thing?

Frantastick · October 2015

With each new update, my disconnection problems increase. This has hit a climax with Imperial City. Is there any word on what you guys will do about this? I mean, my internet connection isn't too bad. I doubt it's my internet.

keonimeyer · October 2015

Can we have a wamasu as a mount?

It's an automated message response, they aren't "insisting" anything.

By the way Zenimax just a reminder I am still updating my list of questions! http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/2294108/#Comment_2294108
