I am sorry if this has already been answered, but as you already announced a 64 bit client, then I am curious:

Will the game start to take advantage of DirectX 12 functionality/optimizations?

They've already stated that it's on their table of "things they'd like to do sometime in the future but don't hold your breath" - they want to iron out the DirectX11 issues and get that going smooth before looking into full DX12 support.

Hi ZOS, here are My questions for this ESO live (Jan 15th) :

• Any new itemization for exclusive PVPers ? What about VR16 PVP gear (ravager, cyrodiil light, etc...) ?
• Raw craft materials pushed to max rank (V16) in Cyrodiil ?
• Could we have a 25% boost to traveling speed while on roads in Cyrodiil ? Players feel too much time is spent riding.
• What about reviving other players for free (no soul shards) while in Cyrodiil ?
• Plan for soloers ? Ex : When not in group can employ a guardian NPC for 10 min.
• Improved PVP UI ? Ex : Showing location and heading of all friendly party leaders if group>4.
• What about the gap between those who have macro keyboard/mouse and those who don't (animation cancelling through hardware seems so unfair) ? Plans to allow macro addons to compensate ?
• Plans for built-in universal same name castle (they currently differ from one language to another, and it is a difficulty for foreigners (ex: French...) to understand and indicate waypoints)
• Plans to get best "in-session" players like mini-emperorship every hour in each faction for those who cannot farm Emperor (to me emperorship should reward skill, not farm only)
• Plans to also reward solo roaming playstyle in Cyrodiil ? What about giving incentives away from zerging to address that important playerbase expectation ?
• Could healer NPCs also heal players please ? I wish they could. I can't think why they should not. Helping once again solo PVPers in defending resources for example, especially if they have a tanking setup.
• Potions and Cyrodiil buff modification : they currently (de)multiply the player's regeneration after a resource capture for example (ex : "continuous attack"), rewarding more those who enchant their rings and gear with regen and penalizing those who go cost reduction. Would love to see potions and buffs that also do that (or that the buffs split evenly in both resource mechanisms)
• Heavy armor in PVP is still (very) sub-par, especially since 40%+ penetration abilities and CP are so common. Any balance plans ? Any buff to the "Constitution" passive ? Any return of the former +7% damage to melee attacks ? Other Heavy Armor plans (so many threads on this subject...)

And also

• Anti-zerging buff that would also alleviate the lag issue : what about a change in Cyrodiil Battle Buff that fluctuate if you are in a group a raid or solo ? For example :
• Solo +10% Health Stamina and Magicka, Spell and Weapon Damage and 10% cost reduction and magicka, stamina and ultimate abilities, call it "survival instinct"
• 2/3/4 players group 5/4/3% Health Stamina and Magicka, Spell and Weapon Damage and 10% cost reduction and magicka, stamina and ultimate abilities, call it "call of the pact"
• 4+ players : no additional buff
• This would also make night play more interesting, since it would be more feasible to capture and defend points when fewer players are available.

Thanks !

I was wondering are there any plans to add any costumes, rewards for having an alliance rank over 24 ?
because at the moment getting to rank 40-50 in alliance war doesn't offer any rewards besides titles and colors

Right after spellcrafting

What are the plans in regards to adding more functionality to the menus and HUD on consoles? Are you going to add on screen buffs so we know when to recast? Are we ever getting a mini map?

I was excited to see scrolling combat text is coming. I don't know if this means a combat log with the coming text window or numbers actually popping up by my character.

Our characters sheets leave a LOT to the imagination. I don't know my crit modifier, or spell/armor penetration. When I select my buffs on my character sheet they just say "increased max health" or "rally" with no more info.

Please elaborate on the character sheet stats and active buff descriptions and display buff information on HUD.

Gidorick

So... any update on first person mount riding?

Randactyl

Is there currently a stance, for or against, on implementing two-factor authentication?

Daz_dingoeb17_ESO

It would be really interesting to have some info about the barber shop, we don't really know what's your vision about it and I know many of us are stuck with a haircut they don't like.

Heavy amor : are there improvements on the way ? The passives are still weak regarding to medium or light ones.

We need some more offensive stat on it, like giving it back the +7% damage increase (1% per piece).

Thanks.

Totally. Constitution could use a buff, and if they added weapon and spell damage to that it'd be perfect. I'd be Black Rose all the way!

Alucardo

Are we going to hear anything about the removal or continuance of AOE caps and class balance from Wrobel any time in the future? This would be nice, so I know whether to roll a Nightblade or not.

Snowstrider

With text chat coming to consoles i have some questions

Will it be like pc and have all the features such as whisper group guild etc? Will we be able to customize the chat box like on PC?

And will it be default on? I feel like its really important go have it default on.
And will we have chat bubbles option?

And thanks for finally adding it. Been begging since console beta.

When Will it be added?

Someone asked in forums latery... What happened with the veteran version dungeons of the current group dungeons in game? ARX Corinium, Direfrost Keep, Blessed Crucible, Volenfell, Blackheart Haven, Tempest Isle, Selene's Web, Vaults of Madness?
What happened with the updated longer versions of the solo delves we already have ingame? Few of them were updated and that was quite a long time ago. Will they come once you will remove veteran ranks? Or the idea was put on the fire already? ...Making room for new content rather than updating and expanding old content?

swiftmoney09

Are we getting buff timers along with the scrolling combat text?

When VR levels are removed will all gear scale?

NewBlacksmurf

In this thread there is an idea, maybe that can fix Cyrodil lag once and for all.

Would you consider, changing our appearances to focus on PvP and remove a lot of cosmetics that may contribute to loading in hopes as a way to reduce Cyrodil lag. This seems to be a non-labor intensive task, and only involves decision making. Heck, it can even utilize certain models based on each campaign.

Just throwing things on the wall, but seriously. Why not? @ZOS_GinaBruno

Is there any plans on towns being owned by alliances within cyrodiil that give bonuses? I feel like that would be a fun/great incentive and side option for alliances than just owning keeps.

Will there be race changes in the future? if so how soon?

MaxwellC

@ZOS_GinaBruno
This will be long but..

When will DKs get more stamina morphs for their class skills?

When will dragons blood be buffed/fixed (especially in PvP half of 33% is a no go) Green dragon needs to stack with potions or make it a stand alone buff

When will all classes receive combat balances (for the better which means no nerf) all classes aside from NB need changes whether it be more stamina morphs or increase damage/ more skill reworks.

When will bugs be fixed for classes like DK (Ultimates sometimes get canceled out while being hit) Templars close to gap not working correctly 100% of the time and their jabs not working (Note I do not play templar).

Will Flames of Oblivion ever get un-nerf'd instead of being a useless mage light (I miss my old flames of oblivion!)

The culling of figures won't actually do anything server wise because those players still exist and are casting abilities that hit the server. It would help with your client sure, but so does turning down your graphics options, which in either of those cases, don't help at all with server performance. Running your client at 60 FPS is great, but when the server is hitching, it doesn't really matter what your client is doing.

The bubble/phasing approach would also be an issue with the server because it still tracks everyone in the same world/zone definition. You sort of see this already with a fight happening on Alessia Bridge affecting a fight in Fort Warden in the prior example.

When will flames of oblivion be un-nerf and brought back to it's original standing?

LostRedden

Will there be a buff/debuffs bar for UI in the QoL UI update? It would be very beneficial for consoles who cannot get addons.

Why does a thread titled "what do you look like in real life" get more attention than relevant posts about issues in the game?

iPeriphery

Would you consider adding the ability to give certain party/raid member specific marks (Like the Crown for Party Leader) like a Star, Heart, Numbers or a Tank/DPS/Healer symbol to help people keep track of who is where in PVP. Also The ability to track specific party members on your Compass would be amazing (With the specific symbol they have (Crown, #1, Star, T-1 (Tank 1) ,H-1 (Healer 1) , Etc.) So many other games have this feature, and without it, it's very hard to keep track of your party members if you are trying to play coordinated PVP with a group of friends. A Mini-map feature for Console would be amazing as well, seeing as PC Get's many more benefit's with add-on's, it would be awesome to have some of those same options like skyshards and lorebooks as well as the Mini-map.

If there isn't one already, could we get a compilation of the questions and their answers for all of the lore related Ask Us Anything questions?

When can we expect an auction house? Or anything other than the current trade system?

Likely never, they really like their trading system and say that it's working well.

They are working on a "Looking for Guild" system.

Are we ever going to be able to display our character's name instead of an account name? On consoles, players' PSN ID is used for everything they do, not just ESO.

Character name instead of PSN ID/XBL GT is in the works.

Are there any plans to fix the "inspiration" gain during crafting? New characters' levels are far outpacing their crafting skill. The only way to receive "inspiration" is to deconstruct and research items, and the latter only gives a minuscule amount of xp, especially considering the time it takes to complete. You can't even craft yourself a basic set of steel armor before you're well past the levels you'd use it.

Get yourself certified and do the daily writs. They provide a good amount of inspiration.

Thank you very much for the information. That's disappointing about the trade system. I respect their opinion, but I also respectfully disagree with it. I'll make sure to check the writs again, because I did a few, and they didn't seem to give me any inspiration, but I'll do some more, as I believe your information to be correct.

I'm happy to hear about the character names, and the guild finder function. Thanks again.

What was the point of doing an Eso Live yersterday ?

We've learnt nearly nothing.

Artjuh90

when will there be more love for the tank role in the game, in specific the health investment part of leveling.
as it is now there is no extra gain to invest in health other then some hitpoints. This isn't fair if you compair this to Magicka and stamina because if you invest in those you not only gain resources but also gain higher damage numbers. on top on this the only softcap in game is also on armor/speel resist. when will these be removed and a player might gain some armor/spellresist when they invest in health when level up? (message me if you don't understand what i mean. English isn't my native language)
