ESO Live - Ask Us Anything!

MissBizz

I'm assuming there will be a few ESO Lives concering Update 12 (and the various aspects) as well as some deep dive articles. Would love to see some of the questions answered in either.

One Tamriel
Will crafting nodes work as we currently experience in DLC zones? Or can we expect to see some (or all) of the crafting professions changed? Such as we saw with Enchanting not too long ago?

Has anything changed about the quests throughout the alliance zones, so they are a bit more "self contained"? Or does one story still lead you to the next and carry the story on?

Craglorn

You mention the quest can be done completely solo. Great news! The group content is mentioned to be done with as few 2 players. If a larger group goes to the group content, will any of the content (such as delves in Craglorn) scale to accommodate the number of players?

Also on Craglorn. Is the group content still gated behind special switches and such, or is it just geared at 2 players due to difficulty?

Dueling

Is this in place of arenas/battlegrounds that were mentioned previously? Or is this an extra? (AKA - Are arenas/battlegrounds or whatever the ESO version of those are... still coming?)

Crown Crates
Will the "seasonal new, extremely rare" items be included in future crown crates, or only their specific season? Will these items be found anywheres outside of the crown crates and connected systems (crown gem store)?

LokomotivBreath

If we can have up to 1000 ultimate, why does an ultimate skill that costs 250, use all 1000? Shouldn't we be able to use ultimate like we use magicka or stamina? Use it as long as it's available? We don't use all our magicka or stamina with one skill.

Thanks,
Loko

Do they still do this? If so...

Any chance of a PvP free version of Cyrodiil?

I'm sick of going there to try and do the quests/find shards and not being able to because some ***hat from another alliance is sitting on the area stopping people from doing it.

A question about One Tamriel and Writs.

Will OneT change how writs are given out and turned in so that it will more suitably fit the "any zone scales" approach?


With OneT getting rid of zone-assigned levels for mats and content and opening up any time anywhere play and gains, the current writ model (locking certain levels of materials writ-skill into certain single zones) seems woefully out-of-sorts anc counter-productive - its just at odds with the whole oneT approach.

One example would be to have writs requirements/reward always scale to you skill, regardless of where they come from, get picked up at any zone's mage or fighter guild and turns into any mage or fighter guild.

Thanks

Greetings.
I'm so excited about one Tamriel. The game is getting bigger and better. I have question:
In one Tamriel every item scaled to the character level. It's meens no longer get revarded with useless 150 level items for wrothgar daily quest. My character is on champion rank 555, but I still get rewarded with 140 or 150 items. I hope this is changing with one Tamriel.
Thanks.

In relation to Update 12.
Q; With all the new monster sets will there be any change to how Undaunted chests work?
if we get another 17 to the 10 we have with 3 armor types and 6? traits we are looking at a lot of combinations if your looking for that one item.

(Granted I have not seen the new sets yet there might be more than just one you want)

I wonder if a small change might be possible that could help with inventory management when learning traits. Could gear in an inventory with a trait that is researched / un-researched / being researched be marked. Maybe a little asterisk or make the trait name bold or italic or underlined or something.

This would make it easier to decide what to hang on to and what can be sold / deconstructed. At present it is tedious and time consuming to navigate back and fourth between the inventory / deconstruction menu to the right place on the research page of a crafting station. It may also mean moving between multiple crafting stations too to repeat the procedure. It is possible to copy all the currently known traits to a spreadsheet for quick lookup but it would be a lot more convenient if the game itself showed you which items in your inventory could be used for research.

That right there is the exact reason I started using addons in the first place. As I continued researching pieces it become so tedious that even the simplest addon that adds researchable/researched to the items tooltip is more than enough. I really hope this gets added to the base game some day.

I am playing on the console so I don't even have the option of using an add-on. It has to be in the base game. As a programmer I am curious about add-ons and wonder how hard it would be to write my own...but I digress.

Are there any plans to add more guild store kiosks?Maybe add 1 or 2 more at each of the off the road spots and 1 or 2 at the starting gates in cyrodiil for each alliance.

Negative, the physical guild store presence is yet another resource hog, adding more further taxes the overtaxed servers.

All the more reason to go with a global auction house.

Can we get a system to level up equipment? Having disposable equipment and dealing with the suspect RNG in the first place is demoralizing. I wouldn't expect the process to be cheap. Most mother MMOs have a system for this.

Can a system for climbing be considered? We watched Quen go over the gate in TG, and it would seem to go well with sneak. Maybe grapnels, or ladders for storming PVP walls (4 guys at the front gate with a ram, creating a distraction , and 20 with ladders on the back side "infiltrating". Obviously ladders would be akin to siege equipment, and destructible.

Hobbit homes, with round doors, windows.

Will our housing have a dungeon for captureable NPCs???? (Insert evil laugh). Chains guillotine

Can we have saved searches. Spare us entering the same search criteria over and over and over at different guild stores looking for items. Also after finding what we seek but needing to withdraw funds to make a purchase from the bank?

Bizzquik

How 'bout letting us dye the outfits worn by our Assistants...?

I would love it if I could have the banker and merchant match the colors worn by my character. Plus, it would help differentiate them in a crowd of other assistants.

What happened to Guild Spotlights?

Can we get system where we can refine lower improvement materials into higher ones? Like 10 greens make 1 blue, 10 blue make 1 purple and etc.

Dear ZOS,

first of all I want to say that I love this game (screw the bugs ),


but I want to ask, when I want to respec CP points, I do not need to reset all of them, but I can just change (decrease and increase) the ones that I need (for example I mistakenly put too many CPs into "Blessed", I pay 3000 gold and just decrease the C points put to "Blessed" and I can then increase the C poins in some other - like "Mighty" for example).


But why does it not work like this also for respecification of skill points and/or morphs? Why do I have to reset them all and then specify them all again?
Whey is there no option to go one-by-one and respec only those that I need? The price can calculated at the end - based on the changes. Or it can be some default price, like those 3000 gold for CP respec.

I am asking because I mistakenly put some skill poins into passive skills that I do not need, so I would like to respec them and put the points elsewhere. But I really do not want to reset it all and then spend 30 minutes with clicking them all again up.

Dear ZOS,

I know that it is not possible to refund unused Crown Store items back to real money, but is it not possible to introduce an option to refund them into crown store crowns?
This would ensure that the real money would stay with you ZOS and the players would be happier. I bet I am not the only one who would want this.



I have one (of two) mount that I do not use, if I could refund it back to crown store crowns, I would instead of it buy something else.

Please add a warning message to Trials, to clearly tell people what they really are. I have several guildmates who actually wandered into Maw of Lorkahj thinking they could solo it like all the delves. It wasn't until i explained it that they understood. This makes me concerned for people playing solo and guild-less. Some of these people may make the same mistake because it's not actually clear from the outset.

How about adding another role to dungeon group finder/organiser beyond healer, tank and DPS for "Bard". The Bard's role is to stand safely outside the fighting and to enthusiastically sing bards over the voice chat to inspire the rest of the group. *Explosions and fighting* "From dread daedra save us! From daedra keep us safe! Forsake the ones who made us!"

Is there any chance you'll change your mind about the gambling RNG boxes now that you have seen how adamantly opposed to them most players are?

At the very least will you consider NOT putting exclusive mounts and costumes in them you can get no other way?

Doierz

Will there be more textures to the armors in eso instead of the ugly wallpapered armor? im pretty sure everyone would like more textures.

Inhuman003

Will there be a DLC of Dawnguard or Order of the Virtuous Blood. For the new blood Vampire Hunters.

They are in game , you have to turn them on in settings.

I have a question that I'm sure many have or want to ask:
Why is the crown store limited to a particular quantity of items that can be sold? Does it have to do with the server?
