From Oblivion? Even more awesome!
Nothing against Sage, but this is an excellent bit of news.

So instead of someone with a history of MMO work as Creative Director, we have someone with a history of Elder Scrolls work.
This could mean ESO will finally move in a better direction.

✭✭✭✭✭Please avoid disparaging the people that leave this game's development team. Its impossible to know if the people that are poisoning this game are the ones that left or the last good influences finally jumped off a sinking ship.
Maybe one day a ex-developer will do an AMA and tell us what really went on behind the scenes. And why this game has had so much mission creep and so many broken promises.- Who was the major factor behind IGNORING PvP content for a whole year? That's the person that needs to leave.
- Who is so adamantly against small scale PvP that they wont even let us test the already made quakecon battleground on the PTS? That person is worse that Molag Bal's accountant.
- Who decided that inflating everyones stats x10 (so that people wouldn't realize their earned attributes were STOLEN from them and locked behind the crapion system) was a good thing? That person needs to leave.
- Who decided that combat mechanics and skill bugs were so low on the list of priorities that they let 5 bread and butter templar abilities languish in a buggy state of un-usability and even LIED and said they were working as intended? That person needs to jump off the Velothi mountains into a volcano.
Good luck to Nick and Paul in their future endeavors.
Rick Lambert, welcome to your new role! We are watching.

I don't think so either. They are very, very good at concepts, but when it comes to actually implementing them they either have no idea how, or realize how overwhelming it would be.
All of that talk about spellcrafting, Justice PvP, removing VR ranks.... I don't plan on seeing any of that.
^ This. One of the main reasons I decided to stick with this MMO was for the promise of the PVP Justice system, Now I am really concerned this will never happen.
There are a lot of things we were told at E3 last year that have yet to make an appearance. In fact "phase 1" of the Justice System is the only thing they have managed to add to the game. Really disappointed that literally everything else has been put on the back burner just so they can grab as much cash as possible from the console players.
I meant to reference QuakeCom. Here is the video:

✭I guess the quote "letting the game breathe" from the ESOTU announcement stream meant resignation from all the developers. I'm not too concerned here for the game as he was only a creative director and I disagreed with multiple facets of his vision for the game but good luck to him at his new place.3 -

Maybe Paul Sage will "unquit" if we bump the thread enough.
Not sure why ZOS would want to sink a thread after giving meaningful information about a topic that was picked up by news organizations throughout the day though.
