When playing around with alchemy I couldn't help but notice that it would be very convinient with an in-game notebook where you could write down recepies, things to remember, maybe the possibility to write down lore from your adventures and let other players read them in some way. Maybe in a book shop where you can sell and buy books. Think this would be very fun if you could look into this

Has anyone noticed that when you wear a Redguard heavy girdle with the higher level (such as quicksilver or etc) that the buckle is lowered in height on the character than any of the other girdles? This causes the buckle to not be even in contact with the belt any more as well as cause a clipping issue with the rest of the armor when the character moves or even stand with a weapon ready?

^posted this in in game bug notices too... just making sure it's heard.

While on the new redguard heavy style, The design is ok but the dyed system on it is kinda unpolished. For one the feather plume on the redguard heavy helm now always has a black color. Was this intentional? Also the first redguard verson did not have a third color on the boots. This has been fixed but now the greaves do not have a third color. Once the greaves reach a high enough level they do aquire the blades on the side of the thighs but they stay the same color as the rest of the armor, seems like a perfect dyeable area wasted... And the heavy helm which previously had lots of almost evenly spaced dyed area's is almost all one color now which is another dyeable area wasted. I mean the top of the helm could be one color, the chainmail or cloth on the back can be another. Now it's forced to be all one dyed color. I miss the older versions dyed areas (sigh).

Oh and thankfully we can now dye the jewels in the redguard armor! (kind of...) Basically the old verson had those turquoise colored jewels all over the place but now they jewels can change color but often they change into some other color depending on your secondary color choice which often results in a color that doesn't look right. Wouldn't it be logical to have something small like the jewel controlled by the tertiary color?

With the changes in 1.6 to stat caps much of the endgame gear and crafted has become useless. Are you planning to rebalance gear in order to address this?

Why no children in the game? Feels unreal only adults and chickens everywhere...

LogicalPhule

Would you please start adding an "Estimated Time of Return" for servers when you do maintenance?

Hogzknuckle

Is it possible to get some different skins for werewolves, please. Also, why not have two or three possible quest rewards for players to choose from? If you're going to answer only one, please make it the first.

I like how 50% of the time /stuck will get you stuck in loading.

Anazasi

Is there a reason why the Dev's have continued to ignore the Soul Shine set? Can we please see a VR14 version of this set.

Zyle

Are you guys considering adding the option for a character name change in the Crown Store?

prepstar

Lots of fantastic questions already . I will probably be a repeat of some of them but here goes.

1)Will there ever be any chance of owning land/guild house/home?

2)Where are all of the children and orphans? I knew Tamriel was a cruel realm, but did they all get killed

3)I love the classes in the game, but is there any chance of additions to the classes coming? It would be truly nice to play a class that dealt in nature damage. There is a lot of lore, and just even throughout the gameplay that could suggest players who would like to be like the Silvenar/Angolf/Wyrd Sisters. It would also be nice to see something like a "Sword Saint" class.

4)Could there be an in game clothing store addition? I truly love the addition of costume like clothing added with these last patches. Everyone is starting to definitely show their diversity in how they wear their armor and clothing, much like the feeling in past eso games.

5)Is there any chance along with the addition of their being a thieve guild and dark brotherhood (possible companions and dawnguard), that their can be some type of naval guild/pirating mechanism for the new potential of Sea Warfare/exploration? I'm not sure lore wise how well that would work, but it would be an interesting avenue to explore I'm sure.

Thank you for your time.

1. Will we ever get optional temporary level scaling to lower levels? So that we could scale our level down to any given level (or at the very least, let us scale down to the group leader) and go to low level dungeons, do quests, kill world bosses, destroy anchors etc. together with lower level friends or guild mates without taking away the challenge for them?
2. Will we ever get cross-faction zones and/or options to quest and do dungeons together with people from other factions (outside Cyrodiil, obviously.) . Since the leaders already worked together and not everyone is that keen on the fight for the Ruby Throne, I don't think it would ruin the immersion. (Maybe it could be a toggle at LFG to allow cross-faction dungeons that we could set.)
3. Any chance we will ever be able to sit down to benches and chairs already in game?
4. Any plans on adding random events to the zones? Like, a group of bandits appears somewhere on the map and is closing in on a town. Anyone can see these on the map and join, kill enough and then perhaps a boss spawns, kill it and we get a treasure chest or a currency that we can spend on certain items. Or escort a caravan from one town to another while enemies spawn, or clear out a hagraven hideout etc. (level scaling would also be useful here to avoid events to be nuked by high level people).
5. Do you plan to, at some point, add NPC companions or mercenaries that we could summon/hire and help us quest? They could be scattered around Tamriel, like in Skyrim, and join us if we do a quest for them or hire them. It would help many people and also make Craglorn a better place in my opinion.

I know, a lot of questions and not quite short but an answer to any of these would be appreciated!

I would also like to know these answers as well.

Thank you for the post.

I just DLed the newest patch.For the first time I read all the rules before hitting "I agree". I was rather taken aback.It says that we can no longer use any type of historical characters names,or people who were accused of committing Crimes against humanity,no serial killers,etc.While I dont have any serial killer Chars,I do happen to have two chars who were named after people in WWII. So,..because they were on the German side does that mean I have to dump them? Or is the new rules for any chars we create after the patch. I surely hope I dont get in there and find them gone.

Why...why...why??? Why did you create such caos with update6?....there are thieves and killers everywhere.!! What prompted you to create a game where innocent people are victims and are viciously attacked, stolen from, and unarmed only to be killed for rewards to a player? The rewards of provisioning was hard work and time consuming, so you turned that into a player having to steal? It makes absolutely no sense...I could uderstand having a thief guild where players could work toward a criminal game play or criminal quests, but to unleash total havoc and insanity has made the gameplay ridiculous, there is no reward for those with integrity, just massive amounts of goons crouched, pickpocketing, and killing townspeople, then running so they don't get caught...guards running after running thieves??? What were you thinking? or maybe not realizing there were alot more important issues within the game that should have been addressed instead...such as grouping issues for dungeons, Cyrodil wayshrine travel issues, ranking combat issues in Cyrodil..... you've seriously unleashed a whole lower level of human behaviour lacking the integrity and honor that first made the game the best ever.... it's very disturbing~

I agree. They put all that stuff in barrels,crates,and baskets for us to use in creating food and drink,only for us to now have to attempt to steal it.

breyaflim

is the north American server off line till the 17th? just wondering, lol.

BBSooner

Now that my overweight male Vampire Nord can prance around Tamriel in his wedding dress while sitting upon my glorious Senche keeping my faithful panther companion at my side can we have weapon/shield dyes please? A pink dagger won't make this any more ridiculous.

I log into my account and see the monthly sub has increased as well as the price of the game .

Was :
180 Days of ESO $77.94CAD

Current : $15.99CAD/mo - 180 Day Membership - Charge me $95.94CAD every 180 days

Why are we being charged more ?

RenhardtESO

Is there going to be a fix for the Restoration Staff animation for the heavy attack? Either the animation or the targeting seems off and won't send the beam out when I am doing a heavy attack a lot of times but is actually doing damage. It's confusing. That and the beam seems off angle from the way you are standing. It looked so good the way it was before but now seems way off I have posted about this and chatted with people online about it and they have been noticing the same thing.

Thank you!!

Djeriko

So we finally got the ability to have costumes on which came after the dye system was implemented (or at least partially implemented). Yes it's me again talking about SHIELD DYES! Come on ZOS finish the job. Give us control of the color of our shields. Is it to hard for the system to grasp or are you dragging us along like a poorly fed seche chasing rats in a moon sugar cane field. Will this ever be addressed?

Templar question:

The skill Radiant Aura grants the minor buff to magicka, stamina, and health recovery for having it slotted. However, using the skill only grants the major buff to health and stamina recovery. Should it be granting major magicka recovery on use as well?

Aldul

This isn't meant to be as offensive as it may sound. But, since there's a lot of frustration going on about this topic, letme ask straight away: Zenimax, do you actually care about your shrinking and desperatly-cyring-for-help pvp playerbase? If you do, which is what I'll expect you to answer: why is it that a lot of us got the impression you in fact neglect Cyrodiil, not only when it comes to adding new content, but also in terms of bugfixing and balancing issues?

Iago

maybe there are huge sweeping changes coming with the imperial city.

Grigs

How much work is going into non-shop related skins and armors? Will the shop be the sole method to obtaining high quality looking armor now?


Thank you.

SantieClaws

When can this one expect the return of real, quality moon sugar - not this mysterious 'seasoning' which could be anything from guar toenails to ground carrots.

Since update 6 launched this one has spent a lot of time shivering and is having to look in loosley guarded pockets a lot in the hope of finding a sweet nugget of sugar.

This one is dissapointed that so far she has found only false teeth, old maps, and many pocket sized chamber pots - none of which she wishes to consume. This one is not so dissapointed with the saucy books she has borrowed though ...

1) What did we do to deserve being blinded on the forums like this?
2) why is it most people that have played since beta got 4700-5000 crowns and I got 3200?
3) Can we please please please have the old redguard and orc armors back?

They likely had 3-month recurring subs, meaning they have 48 days remaining on ESO Plus and got 3000 Crowns for that, while you and I had 1-month subs which have 18 days of ESO Plus, giving 1500 Crowns. This is in addition to the 1700 Crowns that everyone has got for being subbed since beta (1000 for 10 months' sub time, 500 for owning the game, and 200 for IDK what).

StrangerFull

Upon cancellation of a vampire or a werewolf make returning of spent skill points that more not needed. Reset skill points at altar for using spent skill point for other abilities not good idea. Werewolf requires maximum 17 skill points for all abilities and reseting all skill points for freeing only 17 not good. Or make option to reset only vampire/werewolf abilities like morphs reseting.

Kulaan_Doskad_Hadroz

Are there any plans to add in information revolving around the pretender king in Solitude? After reading about the split in Skyrim I became very excited to learn more about it.

Thank you!

Why did the monthly sub fee go up $3!?
