Now that there 'Superb Triune Alteration potion' in the crown store, when can we expect to be able to craft such potion(s) that not only gives you health, stamina and magica but also health, stamina and magica regeneration?

Since Beta, this is a simple tripot. Columbine, Mountainflower and i dont remember the last on.
Craftable is 40% better

Columbine, Mountain Flower and Bugloss... ok found and checked. You are right @BuggeX my mistake should have read description better.

Since update 6 racial passives have changed and been buffed etc a lot of ppl has made the wrong race choice and didn’t realise till they hit vet 14.
Is there going to be a race change option for those who have played b4 update 6 and have had to grind it out to vet 14 to find there toons are lacking at top end.
Maybe a crown store scroll, or eso plus deal?
We’re not asking to change alliances just races even if you can only do it if you buy the explores pack

Hello!

When can we expect your next major patch on PTS?

As a PvE player guessing that we will get an Imperial City this patch I wonder if we have some new Trial with Hard Mode to dive in it? If the answer is “yes”and if it would be inside the IC, will we get the opportunity to get to the Trial not participating in PvP? If there won't be that way, how can PvE players maintain a schedule of our raids since the entrance to the Trial can be unstable because of PvP action? You should know that PvE players usualy try not to get in Cyrodiil if it's possible.

And I just wonder: some of you still used to call this update 1.7. It’s a little bit confusing. Back to the Future after 2.0.x?

Why does it Seemingly take the support staff twice as long to perform maintenance on the P S 4 NA megaserver than it does for every single other server and/ or system ?

I find it ridiculous that everyone else in the world is back to playing so much faster than us.

Kingof green

My question is when will we see the release of the Imperial City and Wrothgar?

Are you aware that the group finder on consoles do not work?

Are you aware it has been broken for over a year on PC/MAC. Hopefully they fix it soon!

In the recent reddit AMA a bit of information was released on the upcoming class ability changes for stamina Sorcerers. One of the changes mentioned was a stamina morph of lightning form and that has many sorcerers wondering which morph of lightning form is getting replaced. Could we get some clarification on this matter?

I have a PvP based question for todays show.

After reading the upcoming pvp changes posted to the forum I have found my self in full agreement of the path chosen while still a bit disappointed about having to go down that path. I'm talking of course of the upcoming removal of the passive bonuses outside of pvp. I know many in the pvp community have long wanted the removal of these buffs and I too cheer for the end of "buff servers", as a DAoC Veteran I know how much of a draw those buffs can be for people to earn for their alliance, it just adds another sense of accomplishment to the game.

My long winded question is "What other options were considered to keep the buffs affecting both pvp and pve? Did you guys play around with the idea of making the buff effect the alliance with the most resources over all campaigns? To be clear is it/would it be possible for the buffs to be given to the alliance with the most scrolls/emperors/keeps/outposts/highest total score across all campaigns rather then a by campaign basis?"

So if Ebonheart had more emperors across all campaigns then the Pact would get the emperor bonus as a whole rather then just those players who were part of the campaign that had an EP emperor. I think it would allow you guys to keep the buffs in-game for both pve and pvp while also adding another objective to the over all pvp game as non buffed alliances would push harder across all campaigns to weaken the top alliance. I think that would be the closest to the RvR standard set by DAoC that we could get.

As a guild leader it has become dreadfully clear that we could use some more and better guild management tools. Are there any changes coming up to help us guild leaders/officers to manage the guild better?

Also guild achievements and unlocks would be nice. This would work great by allowing for players to actively represent one of their guilds to get the reward.

Attorneyatlawl

When will we be seeing optional overhead nameplates and guildtags? This was mentioned to be in the works possibly last year but we have heard nothing since ?

Also two others from the sister thread to this one :

In the recent Reddit AMA, it was said that EXP gains will be brought in line with eachother better (aka to parity) for PVE activities, but PVP was not mentioned in this adjustment. Will PVP gains for EXP be raised at the same time to be more in line with PVE mob grinding, bearing in mind of course that PVP action can be spikey by nature so your earnings might be higher or lower depending on the night? Currently you earn around one-fifth of the EXP in a good night's worth of PVP action in a strong group, compared to simply going to always-available, easy-to-kill NPC enemies and killing them all night instead. This creates a very large gap in champion earnings for players who either mostly PVP, or who enjoy both PVE and PVP splitting time between them. Can we expect to see PVP EXP earnings brought in line with PVE methods?

Also, "deathspam" chat channel from beta, as seen in Warhammer Online and Dark Age of Camelot: when are we getting it back?

I caught an 'Ice Fish' in Eastmarch, does that count as ice fishing?

I want to know this too. Buffs from cyro should not just mean you have that home campaign and never fight in the war. But it would be good with some kind of system where you do get the fruits of your alliance wins.

Is chat down right now on xb1?

Adryssa_Joneley

Any chance of adding the PLATINUM KEY to Pledges?

Adryssa_Joneley

Considering there is too much Ta for enchanting, and we end up vendoring most of it. Ever considered making it upgradable? Eg. x10 Ta to make x1 Jetota and so fourth? It would put value into Ta and this way, we can use it to upgrade it. Then x10 Jetota could make x1 Denata etc. This would be awesome.

When will finally get a text-chat option on PS4?

Thanks!

Will there be any easier way of collecting skyshards/lorebooks in the console versions of ESO instead of having to switch back and forth between websites? This way we'll have everything in one place. I've read about a user suggesting something like being able to complete quests to gain maps for the various skyshard/lorebook locations.

When will we be seeing Text Chat on consoles?

The current system is completely useless for anything but party play, but being that it's so loud and useless in area chat, most people just leave it immediately resulting in no one using it there either and this basically being a single player game with arbitrary limitations when the servers are down/full/laggy for most of us.

I want to know this as well. Every other console MMO has text chat, why doesn't ESO? In your latest ESO Live broadcast you responded to a question about AI difficulty between platforms stating that it would be the same because you want the game to play the same regardless of platform.

Well, if you really want the game to play the same regardless of platform, then why are console players being treated as though we are too dumb to plug a USB keyboard into our PS4 and type, just like we currently do in game like DCUO? Please let us have the same ability as the PC players have to communicate in text chat.

I don't get this skyshards are so easy to find and see from far off! But you do have to explorer a little to get them all, which is what the game is all about! Lorebooks is another matter but still easy to find when you have 3 or 4 in an area spread out and if you are exploring you will find them all easy!

So I was just wondering if we will ever see another update to player animations and mount animations. Currently, sprinting with the character looks weird, especially from the back. I loved the new combat animations in Update 6, but the others (especially sprinting) need work as well. Also, and tiger animations look quite rigid and not like the real thing. Any chance this could happen?

Also, will there be a Quakecon presentation this year????

Xbox one question:
1) You can only be in two chat channels at a time and one of those is always area. Is it possible to change that? I would like to be in a group but still be in my guild channel. It would make it easier to recruit guild members into group during PVP if they could just ask for an invite while I am talking in group instead of me having to change channel to recruit.

2) is there any chance of getting text chat. This would make it much easier to recruit to group and would solve all my problems.

crytantrevors

When are you guys going to realize the text to chat feature needs to be implemented. The voice ip is buggy and never works at best and more people can communicate easier with a keyboard than trying to talk over 100 people at once. If it never gets implemented it will be the biggest mistake this game can make

crytantrevors

Lets not forget you dont even need a keyboard to type but not everyone has a mic....

Really enjoying the game so far, best mmo experience i've played on console yet!

Few questions/observations:

• Any future plans for more ui/layout options? (ps4)
• Any future plans for keyboard/mouse support? (ps4)
• Would love to see more lootable gear scattered throughout the world? I love grabbing something randomly off a weapon rack and it actually being a decent low level gear.
• Love finding lorebooks! any plans to attach some type of gear/loot when finding them?
• Any plans to add any "instant action" spawn features in campaigns? Maybe only when an area you control is being attacked?
• A long shot but, will I ever be able to play ESO with my friends who have a different platform then I do?


Thanks for listening to the community!

You mean (all), not (ps4) . PC and Xbox One also need these.

I have a question...

For found items, why does a merchant charge SO MUCH MORE than they're willing to pay for an item? For instance, I only get 18 gold for an item the house charges 900 for? It's an unfair rate, even for a low level character, and it makes progression too slow. I don't want to have to save for a month in meat time for something. I get 3-4 hours a week to play... I'd like my weekends (my only recreation time) to not seem like work as well. I work enough all week.

Can we PLEASE get an update on Spellcrafting? Will it be in the next update?
