Serious question, not meant to be offensive in any way shape or form. (Though it may sound as such.) Do the main combat/itemization designers, including the lead(s), play/completed ESO's end-game content? PvP, Trials, vet Maelstrom Arena? I would like to end the speculation around this, as many feel it influences the balance decisions. (Outside observation vs personal experience, both I think are valuable and necessary.)

I would say they are either sorcs or very very good sorcs.

Hi I would really like to know if ever that, will all purchase upgrades (with crowns, riding skill, stamina, and carry capacity) could be account wide and not character wide because I purchased those damn crowns and am not buying more for another toon because your updates messed it up and NERFED everything.

What I am asking it say I have bought 20 on my main toon of each upgrade why cant I use it on all? See where I am going with this.

A question for when Eric comes on.

I was surprised to see no changes made to the sorcerer Bound Armaments ability. It is a toggle that passively increase the strength of every skill we cast and our damage. This strikes me as boring and too passive. Are there any plans to free sorcerers DPS from this toggle and instead give exciting and interesting abilities we can actually cast to get that same DPS?

Will you do anything about Blazing Shield and Radiant Ward???????? They are too weak in pvp.

Foxesz · February 2016

Hi,

Are you ever planning to get someone from the writer's team on Twitter? I'm mostly asking this as there are so many questions yet unanswered in the lore and having someone to dedicate their time to it every now and then would be such an immense help to myself and other roleplayers!

Thanks for reading.

ehm i got a new question i want to ask, a VERY! important one i might add, well to me and at least some other people i would imagine

So the costume "song of the night" ensemble is ehm... very bugged "sighs"
first of the biggest bug is that while hiding your head piece the ears magically gets messed up AND! with Khajiit (probably both beast races) the set is unusable, well... unless you like the whole ear thing and such... but! there is a workaround for that bug! which is to use hair that well covers your ears for any non-beast races, anyway! secondly and a minor bug is that on your CHARACTER's left wrist there is a slight steam line and for people such as myself clipping like that is just hurting my heart, even more so when i love the intended look of the costume.

so to my question!
are you going to fix it ? mainly the ear bug, if so i do hope you'd fix the wrist deal as well.

illiadai · February 2016

uh oh! new question!
how come we need to wait 24hrs before deleting a character ?

@illiadai That is an exploitation prevention measure, designed to prevent fast creation and deletion of bot characters.

Tess_Phyreforge · February 2016

Is there any plans in the near future to give us an Off/On Toggle for shoulder like you offer for helms?

I have been on the PTS and I love the look of some of the new armor and would hate to cover it up with a costume because my Helm & Shoulder set don't dye or blend well with my armor set.

Also on a small fame female toon, like the Dark Elf or Wood Elf the shoulders graphics can be a little much.

Will we be Seeing new summons or companions, to follow us on our journey though Tamriel?

ohh okay well that makes sense, annoying for people such as myself that often make a character only to find something "wrong" with it when logging into the game, though at least i do get why now

also thanks for the answer

Expand motif search filters in guild stores...

With so many motifs, simply searching for purple in a guild store can generate thousands of items. Can we get style filters, or piece filters?

Voxicity · February 2016

Will there ever be DLC bundles (ie. Imperial City, Orsinium, Thieves Guild or more) for a slightly discounted price? If so, when could we expect to see this happen? Thanks.

I'm sorry but isn't this the ask us anything thread ? and in case you missed it "well to me and at least some other people i would imagine" so while a costume might not be one of the most important things in the whole game to you, it is one of the most important things to me and a costume that cost real money shouldn't be broken for an entire race or more and should also be on the list of fixes to come, hence my question was asked.

Royalty27 · February 2016

Would it be possible to get some kind of "mob repellent" after we have beaten the story in an area, for example Deleyn's Mill in Glenumba. The Imps and Spriggins should be gone or at least non aggressive after we finish the quest, yet they still attack. I know its possible to do because at Westtry, if you finish the quest the ghost and skeletons become non aggressive.

We don't even get XP for killing them any more so it just seems like a waste of time and effort having to fight them.

Questions for Brad Derrick

1. What's the style of you music that inspire you most to compose?
2. What's your favourite piece of music you have composed for ESO?
3. The very beautiful music of Orsinium had been added to many places in the game. Which is something I personaly do not like so much, as I enjoyed very much Orsinium to have it's own and unique musique. What do you think about that?
4. One of my favourite music in ESO is one used for some delves (used in this video) What's the name of that music? What inspired you to compose it? Will you make more music of that very style (slow, meditative, mysterious....)

Since there is no pts for console's is there any way to make it so us who own the console version could download and play the pts on pc without having to re-buy the game? I also feel console should have a PTS as we have different play styles Ui's and suggestion then a pc player would have?

Will we see regular cycling sales on Crown Store items like other cash shops?

Heatley2142 · February 2016

Hey im speaking for Templars, Dragonknights and Nightblades. The three other classes in the game you might not know about.

With the recent pet changes sorcerers now have the ability to heal as good if not better than Templars.

They can Tank every bit as good as DK's and be immune to critically DmG whilst doing so.

Hit every bit as hard as Nightblades (from a distance).

Best mobility in the game.

And you can have all of these assets on one bar if you wish (Btw ZOS im talking about Magicka Sorcerers just encase you make stamina sorcerers anymore useless than they already are, wouldn't want to be that guy)

So my question for your podcast if you even address this issue is:

Are you aware of the current imbalances regarding Magicka based Sorcerers? If so what do you plan to do about it?

But you guys will be too busy talking about how you can now dye your shield in more colours.

Why does my swords on the 2nd bar affect the weapon stats on the 1st bar?
I don't know if this is a bug or intended. My setup is 5 Julianos and Helm & shoulders of Torug's.
I have 2 Vet 15 swords purple, on my 2nd bar Torug's Pact stats are:
126 Spell damage
1039 Max Health
1890 Spell Resistance
Now on the primary bar I have a staff of Torug's pact Vet 16 Gold, stats are:
126 Spell damage
1039 Max Health
1890 Spell Resistance(this is grayed out since I don't have 4)
Now if I unequip the staff, in my inventory the stats are:
129 Spell damage
1064 Max Health
1935 Spell Resistance.

there is currently a visual bug with torugs pact 2 set bonus not showing up in the charcter sheet but still increasing actual damage done, I use 1h/shield torugs and character sheet doesnt show the 2 piece spell damage bonus, you may be seeing the same thing

When will the provisioning writs delivery point be aligned with all the other crafting writs?

The top tier writ goes to Orsinium (As it should) but the next one down goes to Coldharbour... this should be Belkarth/Craglorn like every other writ.

They need to add another tier to Recipe Improvement like they did for all other crafts when the VR went up. So an extension/alteration to that question:
Will you add a 7th tier to "Recipe Improvement" for VR15 recipes, so that Tier 6 can become VR10 recipes to turn in at Belkarth, and Tier 7 can be VR15 recipes to turn in at Orsinium? This would match up better with the other crafting professions.

Alternatively, would you consider adjusting the tiers of "Recipe Improvement" so that there are enough for eight tiers of writs, thus matching the number of turn-in locations? (Provisioning doesn't have a Tier 5 turn in at all.) Instead of the current 19/29/39/49/V5/V15, this could be 15/25/35/45/V1/V5/V15.

Can you make an easy place to farm worms in any of your next DLC's? Like flesh pile or Grub Basket?

Momomani · February 2016

is the daily writs wort doing at all ?

Momomani · February 2016

any tips on witch are the best drop set and where to get them?

VelociousLegend · February 2016

@ZOS_GinaBruno
I have two questions for today's ESO Live:

1) I know ZOS is tight lipped and doesn't want to over promise, but any discussion or updates about dueling/arenas/battlegrounds would really help keep the community from feeling that this will never be completed (or at least years later).
2) When will we get new skill lines? Or is this another "No ETA"?

How about a currency system for acquiring high end dungeon/arena/boss drops?

Instead of RNG, where you may have to run the same dungeon 40 times or more to get the drop you want with the trait you need, have the dungeon bosses and quest turn in's give a currency. Like..tokens or whatever. And a vendor that has those items high end items. (Yes, I'm aware of the boss vendor in Cyrodiil coming and that's great, and a nice start.)

Running vMA, or any high end dungeon and looting a purple rubedite staff at the end sucks big time and really doesn't give much initiative run them over and over, especially for players that have a hard time at it to begin with or only have time to run one dungeon a day.

If players were accumulating a currency that could be used for various high end equipment, that would be a good reason to run any dungeon...not just the pledges. They'd know they were making progress towards a goal every time they ran the dungeon/arena/etc. And those players who only have time to run the pledges would have a better chance to get boss helms/MA weapons/etc. (And not randoms chests loots like the vaults on IC.) Even if the costs were high at the vendor, at least casual players would know that they would eventually be able to attain decent endgame loot.
