ESO Live - Ask Us Anything!

mateoz

Are there any plans to fix the game server stability that plague the game since launch. I really like your game but crashing every night for every players I know is hurting your player base a lot. Is there any real fix looked at? your IT guys should have already been fired by then if I were the manager.

I'm wondering about how many dlc do you guys plan to put out a year if not plan to than hope to I guess I'm curious about exactly how often dlc will be released and how long it takes You to create a Zone on average? Please do not sidestep this question even if you cant give an accurate answer give the closest thing please.

Hi ZOS !

Will we ever get things like live events and world events to make the world of Tamriel even more dynamic + interesting + fun and more alive ? Just to mention some examples of random possible live/world events:

- Large forces of Daedra ( can be any race ) invading random cities attacking it . . . the players in that area will get a call to arms to help protect the city . . . with in the end a big difficult world boss.
-
- A mysterious disease in a certain area/zone affects the strength of the players. Certain stats will be lowered with a certain %.
-
- Someone is missing ( insert name ). We need to find him/her or it will have big bad consequences for Tamriel . . .. a worldwide search for this person will start ( without or with timer to make things more tight and tense ). Failing the timer should have consequences.

- The craftsmen of the cities ( insert name ) need a huge amount of harvested materials ( wood/metals/fabric) to make all kind of gear/weaponry to make up for the loss of recent battle or to prepare for coming battle. Let the harvest party begin ( without or with timer to make things even more tense ). Failing the timer should have consequences.

etc etc. Stuff like this will be fun and give people some extra actual and active stuff to do. The time span of these live/world events should not be ( too )short . . .

Just some thoughts !

Question
1) Why are the Argonian racials so rubbish. In Open beta we were told you knew they sucked and would get a boost before live. 18 months on and Argonians health improve is going from 3 to 6 while the Nords is going from 3 to 9. How is this logical at all why aren't Argonians going upto 9%? Will Argonians get a boost soon and when will they get something which doesn't require a potion to be drunk to activate?

2) Are there any plans to improve Cadwell Gold and Silver. Even the first play through felt forced with stupid dialog, dead NPC's suddenly being alive, constantly being referred to as not having a soul and working against your own faction. On my 4th play through I am skipping dialog watching TV with one eye and just doing it to get to Vet 12.

3) Will we be seeing any Solo content to get from Vet 12 to Vet 16?

NewBlacksmurf

With or after the release of IC would it be possible to allow merchants at the crafting stations *also sale the racial pieces like stones required for the purple racial motifs but instead of gold sale them for Tel Var stones.

Just an idea to create value for Tel Var stones for those PvE players who don't care to enter IC
Not motifs but the items required after a motif is obtained.

Apokh

WHY is the Option "kick from guild" one of the first options in the context menue on the roster?
Are there plans to put it in the last position? Perhaps you can contact yout "chief menue designer" to fix this

dudenamedchris

I for one would like more random situations while wondering around outside cities. Maybe a random daedra pops up to make a deal or a random massive daedra boss comes from the sky sending an army at a city nearby and we have to stop it...something fun...

And dark brotherhood and thieves guild...they should already have been out at launch -.-

For PvP, would you consider allowing people to sign up with another faction for a session at a time? With the proper precautions/limitations to prevent abuse, the possibility of signing up as a mercenary with another faction could help players regulate population imbalances.

I can really only see the abuse possibilities there. The reason we can't choose certain campaigns with our alts is to prevent spys or double agents.

Some sad factions have resorted to having a guild mate sign up for a PvP campaign with an alternative character from the enemy team just to grab scrolls.

The double agent then runs with the scroll towards his actual team and allows them to harvest it.

This already happens with current restrictions, more leeway will allow more cheating to occur.

Muizer

Of course, but I did say "with proper precautions". While I have ideas how I would do that, I'd rather not get sidetracked into technicalities. The only ones who can say anything sensibile about that are the devs.

Common mistake amongst forum dwellers. When developers say they listen to the players, what they mean is they listen for what experience people want, not our uninformed babbling about how game features should be implemented

silky_soft

CP - When is cap/catch up being implemented? What form is the catch up going to take, from the store or from a mechanic?
Shields - Are you going to make them critable? Will DoTs work on them? Will there be a stacking cost increase like we seen with dodgeroll?
PvP campaigns - When we will get a list of what servers have which rule sets and which ones will be CP locked?
Store - Are you going to sell as a costume other factions IC armors?

Nighn_9

Any plans for more new emotes?

Nighn_9

I understand that ZOS is working towards letting us dye our shields, but are there any plans at all to let us dye weapon color?

Nighn_9

Why doesn't the 5 piece effect of the drop set "Necropotence" work when activating the Nightblade skill "Summon Shade" and/or its morphs?

Mashille

Is there any plans on adding the old classes back to ESO such as the Warden and why were they removed?

[Edited to add post number].

So, what would rather? They didn't answer the questions that don't have the answers you want?

I think we'd rather them pick questions they can actually give good answers to, rather than these non answers. They seem to pick a lot of questions where they can just say "no plans but that's a great idea!" instead of picking questions where they can actually answer them.

And then you'd say they were avoiding the questions that they can't give your positive answers for. I don't think there's a way that they can win in this conversation.

by "good answers" I don't mean "positive" I mean if they pick a question that the answer is definitively no to that's fine, that's still a solid answer to a question rather than "that's a great idea but we don't have plans for that right now" which is a non answer.

Or really, they could just say "here's a list of questions for which the answer is "no plans right now, maybe in the future" and just run off the questions rather than devoting a few minutes to answering each of those questions individually.

You view it as a non answer. I view it as a no. For the foreseeable future, a no. That doesn't mean it won't happen. But if they hadn't thought about it, and there are no plans for it- as far as it means to us? A no. That's not a non-answer... it's leaving possibilities for the far future.

A non answer is a political type answer in my opinion, like when they say something like "I'm glad you asked me that question." Then they go on a rambling discussion of the point and don't say anything. I guess it's a difference in view. I've found them clear and to the point... though it is obvious that they are dodging certain questions and not giving answers on those. But they just don't ask those.

You can actually map your ps4 to buttons in the settings, for example x could be o.. it's upto you.

Zaldan

Any possibility of a free skill point respec for WW/Vamps who want to get cured considering the major change to their skill lines?
