Whose great idea was the Blazing Spear nerf? Do you really think it was necessary?

@CirithValaria Q3) Where is Jessica Folsom

From my experience watching the show @ZOS_JessicaFolsom, @ZOS_GinaBruno, @ZOS_JasonLeavey and @ZOS_KaiSchober take turns hosting the show. Two of each host and two watch from behind the scenes moderating Twitch chatter.

I think Jessica had a baby but maybe I'm wrong

Yes I'm aware of that...but it's been quite awhile since she hosted ESO-Live.
Also check her forum page:
No new comments since October 8 and no new discussions since November 2.

@NewBlacksmurf
I hope you are right.

Why are Mounts afraid of water? It hard to believe a river being only a foot deep causing your mount to toss you off and run! All of the mounts should be able cross water that they able to keep their head above. Will you adjust mounts at some point to at least cross water of a few feet of water?

Hi Zos,

do you think it would be possible to add a dungeon option "Random Dungeon" to the group finder? Sometimes I just want to run a random dungeon because I'm bored, and the huge list of dungeons gives me a headache because I hate to make decisions (I was happy to hear on last ESO Live that I'm not the only one!).

Free will is overrated, please make the group finder decide for me !

Will the Dremora armor polymorphs (heavy, medium, light) - which are currently only a random drop from the IC bag - be available in the Crown store before Thief Guild DLC or with it?

Mxadarkknight

Is there or will there be anyway to transfer my account from xbox to the pc version at some point? would like to pick up the pc version but don't want to start from scratch.

CirithValaria

Any plans for adding "hide shoulders" option similar to "hide helmets". Most shoulder models fit extremely poorly and the smaller your character is the worse it gets. Hiding shoulders would be nice and easy way to handle this problem. Letting us "re-position" and/or even re-size them would be the best option, but I imagine much harder to implement.

Also letting us craft lower tier models would widen the model variety and help us picking up the better fitting ones

Do you guys think we need to re-ask questions if they aren't answered on ESO Live? Or does ZOS pull from the backlog? I get the feeling that unanswered questions get forgotten.

I think they review every single post that hasn't been answered yet and pick from those. Newer questions do indeed push others back but eventually all will be gotten to lol

P.S. Updated my list with a new question! http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/2294108/#Comment_2294108

Is there anything to back this up @UltimaJoe777? Has this ever been explicitly stated? I don't see HOW they could get to all the questions eventually. They answer, what? a dozen questions every two weeks? That's about one per-day answered. I think there are probably more than one new question per day added to this thread.

How about adding the Srcher class to the lineup of classes.Not just the "bow"

A lot of people ask repeat questions so that helps lol and some are answered by the community too just as legitly.

I consider a legitimacy of an answer to be dependant on quotes from ZOS, press releases, articles, etc. Not just what the community has concluded. Sometimes that works just fine (as in the case of my doubling up on Rings of Mara question - community verified) and there are many questions that ZOS answers on ESO Live that have already been answered in one way or another

There are, however, some questions that really do need specific knowledge that only ZOS would have, like:

Why did you feel the need to nerf blazing spear it did very little damage before the "damage reduction"? Now it is useless except as a way to give Stam users resources.

Of course, and for those questions the community usually leaves it to Zenimax to answer. The ones we do answer usually have a reliable reference, have been answered before, or come from personal legit knowledge on the subject.

Are there any plans to allow players to have multiple pets out at once?

Thrids is dueling system being worked on its helps with making build its always good to have friendly competition

Chidy1776

Hey team great job with the show! Being a lore nut I love reading the area specific loading screen lore when going into a dungeon or delve. Is there any chance we'll see the duration increased before it switches to the game tip screen? A lot of times it only shows for about 10seconds then switches to a game tip that I've seen a few hundred times.

Chidy1776

Will we ever see more a more detailed character sheet? Things like penetration and critical damage bonus? Currently it can be difficult for me to decide what bonuses and stats to aim for because I don't have the info I need to make a really informed decision.

Chidy1776

Will we ever be able to group with opposing faction players for dungeons? The new group finder allows it, but when I meet people I enjoy playing with in dungeons I can't always continue to play with them because of their faction.

For your first question if I recall correctly it was stated during the Reddit AMA that Spellcrafting is on the dev board for consideration, at the very least.
For your third question Player Housing has been teased to include Training Dummies for testing DPS.

Hi, two questions from me:

1. Are there any plans to introduce the same player scaling to the original zones? (As in scale a lvl 40 player down to lvl 10 when venturing into a level 10 zone.)
2. Are there any plans to make crafting account bound, instead of character bound, as has been done with the Champion System?

Thanks for answering!

magictucktuck

Are there any plans to scale one or both pets to stamina for sorc via morphs so I can try out to super enticing hunt leader set?

And now @UltimaJoe777, we circle around back to my original question:

I guess we can add the caveat "and if they aren't answered here by the community". Should I repost or what? I can't help but thinking the honest answer here is something along the lines of: "If it'll make you feel better but it won't increase the chances of the question being answered."

Crimsonwolf666

This question is more to sate my lore curiosity, but in the wiki or other online sources describing Queen Ayrenn, it states "she suffered personally at the hands of Abnur Tharn" when she left the Summers Isles and was adventuring around. However, I haven't seen this even suggested in any in game lore book or talked/slightly mentioned by anyone (or I have missed the said Npc ). Is this mentioned in game at all? Just curious more about the background to this, or maybe I missed something while playing through AD questline? Thank you for your time.

I have a question about Redguard surnames. What does the al- at- and af- signify? I thought it might be the mother and/or father's name, but there's a woodworker whose surname is al-Satakalaam...
