Could we get a momento from Naryu Virian? Something to remember her by? I think Vardenfell DLC would be the perfect opportunity I wouldn't mind one from Razum-Dar either

Rayzar71

How about some more Sheogorath content? maybe a skill line and/or even an entire dlc of challenges and quest.

I have a question, we can change the type of enchantment on an equipment (re-enchant), why is there no option to change a trait of an existing armor piece, weapon or jewelry?
I mean, it is just some magical stone embedded inside of it, so why can we just change it, just like we can change the kind of enchant that some gear piece has on it?

This would solve the issue with RNG that most of the people have, that they get gear with useless traits dropped.

altemriel

ZOS, why the heck did you change Rapid Maneuver and Vigor so that it now cancells cloak!????!!!


What was the reason for it? Could you please revert this change!!! It has no point!!

I love that the dye system now covers costumes as well as armor. I'd also love to see this extended to :

- Quest costumes/disguises we pick up in various quests (the ones that take up inventory slots) [Or maybe transfer these to the costume collection as we pick them up]

- Mount Gear (stuff that adds to your mount as you feed it)

- Weapons and Shields.

Can we make the game respawn the NPCs killed by players AFTER their own dead bodies are removed? I really don't want to see Eagle's Talons guarding the doorway standing on their own dead bodies and a female Khajiit cleaning the Vulkhel Guard wayshrine with her own corpse lying beside her. In addition, would One Tamriel bring about many more NPCs? Or we will soon see the embarrassing scene of 3 or 4 players trying to pickpocket or kill the same NPC this fall.

Why are Orsimer towers square on the outside but circular on the inside?

Odditorium

The empty health bars for players and NPCs are visible on some of my toons (usually my older ones) and are not for others. Other times I am able to see them depending on which PvP campaign I am in. Is there a setting to make these visible or is this a random UI effect?

I got scammed for 400k for 40 alloys he had me trust trade him and pulled alloys out of vault and left group. I need my 400k gold back! His GT is [Snip]. He is a know scammer! Please ban him to stop the scamming!

Do you guys plan on implementing some sort way to know what buffs/debuffs or abilities are activated on you like the third party add-ons for pc to the console or adding something to the crown store in which you could purchase and show all skyshards/lorebooks on the map as well like the add-ons for pc?

We were given a very ominous warning from a certain someone at the end of the Orsinium questline. Any news as to when this storyline is fully going to kick in within the game's story?

After lv 50 we get to travel to enemy zones and do enemy faction quests, great, but why would we like to fight for enemy factions against our own side from time to time? Why would a Daggerfall Covenant player help Admeri Dominion defend Covenant Invasion of Auridon? It does not make sense even a little bit. Just don't let us do these kinds of quest please. It is very paradoxical and immersion breaking.

It's a what-if parallel universe type of thing so a single character can play all 3 factions. You are welcome to ignore Cadwell's Silver and Gold if you like.

It makes sense when Cadwell's Silver and Gold were prerequisites, but use this as an excuse now is really the laziest way to approach the issue and ignore the reality. The reality is: 1. now players automatically get access to enemy territories to do enemy faction quests without any process of explanation; 2. One Tamriel is coming and Cadwell story will completely lose touch with the fact by then since players wiil be able to travel to enemy territories and help different factions in quests from DAY ONE

Why not expand the Hew's Bane and the Gold Coast in future DLCs instead of adding similarly small-sized zones beside them? They are too small compared to other zones (except for islands). Great exploring experience is one of the most essential merits of TES games, but unfortunately Hew's Bane and Gold Coast let us down on this feature. By expanding I mean combining these two zones with parts of the world beside them that are going to be included in future DLCs, not changing the scale of the lands in these two zones. For example, combine Colovian Highlands or West Weald or both of them and the current Gold Coast zone to form a large zone.

Incorrectly programmed dyes for every heavy armor from Glass style to present. Would love to actually get a red and black dye for my glass armor instead of grey and pink. Pictures have been posted showing how black dye produces grey and red dye produces pink. This includes Mercenary, Assassins, Thieves Guild, etc. Response to incorrectly programmed dyes? Let me know if you need me to post pictures again...

Pieces of armor that have only two selections of dye instead of three. Why?

Weapons dyes? When? Why so hard to say yes? If red weapons are logical in this game, why can't I decide that I want my blades to be silver? Worrying about illogical colors on weapons when the game creates illogical colors weapons is just crazy... Allow people to dye weapons already. Most will choose to dye them logical colors anyways.

Entropy and shield charge trigger a bug that causes the character to sheath their weapons when these two abilities are the first used to trigger combat state. Posted videos to show this still goes on. Acknowledgment?

Character running animation while sprinting on horseback triggering character to sprint on the horse's back... (Makes me flashback to the spaghetti leg glitch)

Outlaw shield has a large portion they cannot be dyed at all. Oversight from whoever is in charge of dyes (seems to happen a lot with dye system). Can we have the largest portion of the shield be the primary color?

Can someone check the levels of outlaw shield at the crafting tables. One of them has a picture of a staff instead of a shield.

Several styles of shields are incorrectly positioned on the character models. Some shields float too high. If weapons floated outside the characters hands, would people notice and complain so you would correct it? Of course...

I always liked exploring especially the small camps and villages you come across that don't even have vendors or a inn but just some Npc's and a few houses, farms or even tents.

One Tamriel dropping does indeed nullify the whole parallel perspective, and the new one that is most logical is basically you're a traitor lol

Also you could just consider yourself truly neutral and be the one that tries to prevent ALL invasions in an effort to throw a wrench into the war's efforts

It basically boils down to personal immersion.

Now that Maw hard mode has been cleared I'd like to ask what you guys were thinking when designing this? XD

localretardb14_ESO

It's no secret that it seems the rigorous quarterly DLC schedule has come with some major bugs for PC and Console players alike. With 2017 on the horizon do you plan on keeping to the quarterly schedule or do you plan to slow down the DLC dev cycle and focus on bug fixes and/or Quality of life patches?

They decided to give us smaller DLCs that come sooner than quarterly. Shadow of the Hist was the first.

masachan51

probably asked many times already. But are you gonna do something about the constant loadscreens?

SantieClaws

Khajiit would like to ask about fleas ... for a friend of course.

Will the Crown Store be stocking up on the soothing, soothing remedies soon yes?

Alternatively khajiit believes that proper housing and not having to sleep on the floor outside of The Rosy Lion will probably help ... the friend.

Are you able to tell this one anything more about the sort of budget yet comfortable accommodation a friend of a khajiit may be offered?

Regarding @ZOS_Finn 's comment on dungeons in the thread Why haven't you done a dungeon yet?" (quote in the spoiler below), what are your thoughts on the matter right now? What are your plans concerning the old dungeons?

ZOS_Finn wrote:

[snip] Regarding the difficulty - the normal versions of Dungeons we are pretty happy with difficulty wise, but if the general perception is that they are too difficult we will definitely take a look. For Veteran Difficulty, it may be an issue where a couple of Dungeons skew perception about them as a whole. This is something we are very much looking at for future content and as we adjust older content. Part of the concern players have also stems from the pledge system and how players are rewarded. We hope to have that issue addressed in the future as well

While i empathize with you i differ on this request you make
Just don't let us do these kinds of quest please

Why would a character i run take a quest stopping my own original faction military actions?
NMaybe the character learned from the finale of the main quest line (Bronze) that the war between factions is trival and pointless and the real "enemies" are the threats like Molag bal that the factions should rally together to stop LIKE WE JUST DID (at end of bronze.)
or maybe just mercenary now in it for gold.
or maybe the person asking is really cute.
or maybe my character is really ticked off at the person leading the raid.

But the key is, if instead your character came away with "loyal to alliance kill" then you can CHOOSE to not take those quests.

But asking them to NOT LET us choose those quests excludes these other possible character motivations I listed and many others.

its choice.

Are there any planned improvements for sorcerer pets? if so, any hints?

When is Stygian armor going to be returning and how will it be updated?

MornaBaine

Are we ever going to get a way to hide the vampirism appearance entirely?

I first asked this question over 2 years ago and got a "sort of" answer from Paul Sage saying, "Maybe with costumes." Ummm... can we get on that please?
