Reddit AMA - 6/11/15 @ 1:00-3:00PM EDT

Hi everyone!

Please join us tomorrow for a special console-focused Reddit AMA with members of the ESOTU Team! You can find us on the Xbox One subreddit from 1:00-3:00PM EDT. Look forward to seeing everyone there!

Edit: Here's a link to the thread http://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/39gv5r/the_elder_scroll_online_tamriel_unlimited_team

Here's hoping people will ask and get answered about these popular topics:
1 - The often heated debate of Text Chat addition possibility.
2 - The Gamertag/PSN ID being displayed instead of Character Names. Almost everyone hates it.
3 - When the Console UI/Controls will come to PC. Even just saying "this year" would be nice.

Regardless though, thanks for doing this.

I have a few questions about the PC version of ESO...

Parrotbrain · June 2015

Rogue's gallery photo as my mum would say

Really excited for new content announcements if and when they happen... can't wait to get back in the game. Been taking a break for a month or so, although the forums are always a fun read...

RunAway · June 2015

Will we actually be getting content now?

richard0104 · June 2015

XBOX ONE MEGASERVER LAG. MEGASERVER NOT ENOUGH.

GIGASERVER SEQUEL CONFIRMED...

...THREE WORD SENTENCE... ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED... ILLUMINATI SYMBOL IS A TRIANGLE... TRIANGLE HAS 3 SIDES... HALF-LIFE 3 CONFIRMED. Half-life made by Valve... Valve is the illuminati. Illuminati exposed.

Well, I'd like all of my questions answered now, but I suppose I can wait for another day to read all the rage and hate... that ZOS is clearly oblivious to. First question... will we get free Crowns and Plus Membership for breaking the server?

Acerenegade17 · June 2015

Been queued for literally 2.5 hours tonight on xbox1. Any fix for the overwhelming amount of players trying to get on?

Baracuta · June 2015

On top of the shelf... is that a Borg cube?
My god... it IS a Borg cube!
CROSSOVER CONFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEDDDDD!!!!!!!

Cogo · June 2015

For PC

Any release dates for DLCs? Imperial City? Orsinium? Justice system phase 2? Champion system phase 4? Content like Spellcrafting? Added zones/encounters/quests/events? Guild admin functions? Added Lore? Barber shop? (My Orc needs a haircut!)

A lot of people do. Thankfully, some of the issues are shared between both the console and PC versions and I know I for one will be asking about them in this AMA

Why no gamer grrls in that picture hmmm? Inquiring minds would like to know. Respectfully.

tonitiger99 · June 2015

i dont want txt chat unless i can turn txt off because its ganna be full of trolls, scammers, and spammers. i want no part of it.

Attorneyatlawl · June 2015

Question...

When will we see functional and usability options and improvements to the user interface? Addons are great for customization, but they are not allowed to show us basics and typical community features, such as incoming or outgoing damage/healing effects and buffs/debuffs, just the amounts with no way to tell what it was. Additionally, things like optional overhead nametags on the already stock options for alliance indicators and health bars would be much appreciated, and a very large fun, quality of life, and community addition as we could choose what title and guild to display and find people we want to trade with more easily. Addons are not able to do this, either, and bugs ranging from the trivial to major ones like crashing or performance issues are commonplace, leaving most RPG gameplay in ESO a hassle to enjoy as the default UI has no options for health bar and resource labels, a mini map, or a combat log. For console users, even unstable and hassle-filled addon maintenance isn't an option as ESO doesn't allow them on the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One.

Here is a fan example of how great optional nameplates and guild tags could look, and be turned off clientside for those who don't want them:

Right now, everyone looks like a random guy in a crowd. Being able to represent your guild, and recognize/notice friends (and enemies, in Cyrodiil, with the tags hidden in sneak as alliance indicators are now) would go a long way towards building the game's community.

Let's make sure they actually answer real questions , not dance around issues that are controversial like the text chat decision and gamertag instead of character names.

Many AMA's seem to give the attention to the softball questions and give quick lip service and move on past the more important but difficult ones.

Gidorick · June 2015

Good luck gentlemen.

spoqster · June 2015

I have posted two impressions of my console experience. Comments on the issues listed there would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot!

MartyVendetta27 · June 2015

Can we expect new features to roll out on console and PC at the same time, or are we going to have to wait?

Ojustaboo · June 2015

An option to auto pause area chat while talking to NPC's.

Hearing someone shouting at their spouse instead of hearing the quest voice overy is not fun.

While I do want text chat, I agree it needs to be optional.

Area chat hasn't been a very great experience for me, far more intrusive than a text window, but at least I can turn it off.

Text chat is a real issue for many.

It's a growing trend in the creative-wannabes industry. Instead of dressing to impress, you just look like *** all the time to the point where nobody takes you seriously outside your office. I've had to clean up my fair share of creative teams over the years.

If they were all required to come to work in a presentable dress shirt and tie (no jeans. obviously.) the product you play would be higher quality. Because professionalism. They want to seem fun-loving and friendly, but I just see a financial train wreck waiting to happen in a few years. Because I've seen it happen over and over again.

And there were never girls on those teams, either. Because girls don't send applications to frats.

I agree to a certain degree, but I think your view on this is a bit extreme. Wearing a tie does not make you perform better if you feel uncomfortable wearing it, and there is really nothing wrong with a pair of jeans if they are clean and in good condition. Showing up at work in short pants, a saggy T-shirt and a baseball cap does come across as sloppy and unprofessional, but a dress code does not have to mean formal "business" attire.
I have seen both extremes, and neither seem to be good for inspiring professionalism and excellence in difficult, creative work. There is a lot of middle ground.

Let's start with this longstanding question set, then

We will have to wait, because ZOS doesn't want to wait with PC updates until the approval of Sony and Microsoft is there. Jessica said so on the PS-Blog ... Okay, she didn't say, they don't want to wait. She just more or less said Sony is responsible for the delay ...

And a Reddit AMA is a great idea, since there are always so much complaines about them, not being held on the forums ...

Faulgor · June 2015

Is @ZOS_PaulSage still with the company? Usually he showed up for things like this ...

Seems like this is like any other as it is on the xboxone subreddit instead of the way more appropriate Elder Scrolls Online subreddit to bring attention to the game more than focus on some ongoing issues. Either way, I *am* curious about the name tag issue and do hope they address that at least

GooglyEyedDog · June 2015

Are you going to answer questions like why Console users were not advised at the time of purchase of the Imperial Edition that the perks were account tied and not available to all accounts on the same console and what you are going to do about it.?

Probably not but you should all be hanging your heads in shame at the fiasco of a console launch rather than smiling. Ohhh wait you have already got our money so for you there is something to smile about.

Umm have just logged in to my alternate account and find that I have 4000 crowns which enables me to buy the Imperial edition and adventures pack. Looks as though you did do something. At least you have one happy customer now

nothing2591 · June 2015

re open the console transfer please

Djeriko · June 2015

I'm curious to know if the console version has bugged redguard heavy armor just like the pc version or did they spend time on the console version enough to fix it? If it's fixed then you should fix the pc version too. Also does the console version also not have shield dyes? Why doesn't anyone who made the dye system see a flaw there?
