Hey guys!

Don’t forget we’ll be at PAX East this Saturday, and we have a full day of activities and panels planned in the Cyrodiil Room! If you’re not able to make it in person, don’t worry. We’ll be recording all our panels, and will publish them on our YouTube channel shortly after we return from the show.

If you have any questions you’d like to ask our panelists, you can post them in this thread. Please note that our focus will be on answering questions about topics up to and including the Dark Brotherhood DLC. When posting your questions, be sure to specify which panel your question is for: Storytelling in ESO, Creating an ESO Trial, or the Open Q&A.

Thanks!

is the cyrodil room for slideshows?

EsoRecon

Will this game ever be great again?

PvP arenas have been mentioned in the past. Can you already relate them one the Q3 or the Q4 DLC, maybe?

Any plans on friendly duels between players of the same faction? This could be HUGE for people who want to refine their playstyles efficiently and/or like to confirm theories about mechanics (mitigation/damage with this or that equip).

Any chance we might see No-IC access campaigns with lower maximum numbers of players per faction (for people desperate to escape the lag in primetime pvp)?

If a VR16 has hit the 501 champion point cap will their gear scale to be more powerful than a VR16 who only has 350 with the removal of veteran ranks, or will all VR16 gear scale equally?

NewBlacksmurf

1. Does the removal of VR mean CP will be the new requirement for old VR items/gear or something else?
-If yes for CP, how doe that impact scaled content as CP doesn't relate to stats in the ways VR does?

2. Will there be changes for Nirn trait to drop from any kills in Craglorn (or other areas too like all 8 traits)?

3. Will Craglorn delves and DSA be moved into the dungeon tool?

Q1 - are the developers looking more into what makes a class more attractive to play, for example if u choose a stam dk all your skills on your main bar are 2hander yet if you choose a magic dk all your skills are dk skills. This makes choosing a class redundant ans a stam sorc with a 2h uses the same skills... This is also the same for non temp healers, my nb healer has 1 nb skill on the bar, it just dosnt feel right.

Q2 - dungeons are too easy and most can be done with full dps , is there plans to re look at this as they make the other roles less attractive.

phreatophile

You teased some changes for vampires, please flesh that out a bit. Are there plans to finish the skill line, to do anything about stage timers, to change the cosmetics or feed animation?

How are the current silver and gold Cadwell's zones affected by VR removal, will the be scaled after the fashion of Wrothgar and Hew's Bane, or will they still contain a sense of progression from one to the other?

steff127b16_ESO

Storytelling:
I have a question for the loremaster himself: We know about a lot of the vampire tribes in the various lands.. but what about the summerset isles? Are there any distinctive clans?
I know that has nothing to do with the brotherhood, maybs partly though

WalkingLegacy

General question.

How big is the developer team?

Do you outsource work? For instance, do you outsource artist work? Does an outside company program your engine? Etc.

OnThaLoose

When making a trial:
Any plans to adjust maelstrom drop rates? Other developers have implemented "smart loot drop" systems, where the more you run a dungeon and don't get a weapon, the higher your chances on the next run. Can you consider this?

Open q&a:
1. Will you be scaling Vdsa and when VR is removed will the master weapons in vdsa be equivalent to maelstrom weapons in terms of damage, stats. Etc.

2. Rough estimate of when we can expect another 4 man, multi-round 10 stage arena like vdsa? Or are you even considering one down the pipeline?

Side note: as you can see vdsa to me is the funnest content in the game, and more vdsa/new arenas will keep me happy (and many others) for a long time!

Storytelling: Interracial Reproduction in Tamriel, just how does it work?
I know some of the races are more closely related than others, but some are clearly very distinct. Are there some unions that will 'bear no fruit'? Are there some unions that might bear 'sterile' fruit (i'm thinking like a mule which is the sterile offspring of a male donkey and a female horse)?
Love is blind, but this one is curious.

Jesh

Open Q/A:
There are no children in ESOTU. I once heard it was because players can kill NPCs and the publicity related to players slaughtering hoards of virtual children would be predictably alarmist.
Do you have any intention of releasing all the children you kidnapped back into Tamriel? Would you maybe make them non-killable NPCs to avoid some of the, ahem, difficulties, you were worried about?

... Where is race change, appearance change, and alliance change? Where is our promised barber shop? Hats? Are you kidding me? Forget the hats. Give us our barber shop we've been BEGGING for since BETA.

... How are you going to compensate all the players who got themselves to V16? That's a lot of gear, money, and time that's going to be yanked away from people who LIKE veteran ranks.
...

How many places are you going to put these questions that already have answers?

code65536

When will we ever see more 4-person content?

Carlomagno_XI

Q: Don't you think it is a TAD BIT ironic that you name your situation room the 'CYRODIIL ROOM' yet that is the last place in-game that you all access, fix, or even care about?

Neoauspex

Do you have any plans to make any Android/iPhone apps with which players can interact with the ESO universe?

WhiteCoatSyndrome

Storytelling:

Will we see Shadowmere in the new DLC?

Rex-Umbra

Q&A:

When can we expect dueling and player housing?

Gidorick

Open QA

At one point ZOS discussed the possibility of adding first person mount riding. Is this still something that might be added in the future?

Karamis_Vimardon

Can @Wrobel build a Templar house in the Cyrodiil room or will the rooms performance suffer too much due to the hundreds of people in view of the panelists?

Mocking aside, i'd like to know if all the unfixed and/or unaddressed issues in the below thread will be fixed. Total was at 89, unsure how many are actually fixed yet.

OPEN Q&A

1. Will there be any improvements to gear sets? If so, can you discuss them?
2. How many ways are there to assassinate a target?
3. Will there be any guild specific content added in the future like a guild progression system?

Cinbri

Open q&a

1. Does old gear bonuses will be improved/ old sets will get mising armor/weapon/jewel parts?
2. On early screens of monster sets we saw that it has both shoulders. Will we get option to hide/show left shoulder of monster sets like(similar to helm option)?
3. Can we get more info about revamped Guard skill in Upate 10 and heavy armor changes?
Storytelling:
1. Will we ever travel to Vvardenfell?
2. Will we see Sotha Sil himself in Clockwork City?

mariskaas

Open Q&A

What about removal of CP use in the 1-50 leveling zones. It would be good for balance since some new players running around have zero CP and some players running alts have 501. It's not really fun for new players when people with max CP come running and one shot everything before your nose.

Also will CP become character based since with removal of vet ranks since any single character progression is then non-existent, or will there be something new?

Benefactor

My questions are for the storytelling in ESO panel.

What kind of inspiration do you take from the community when developing the story for ESO?

Will we get more hints on Darien and the plotline that is supposed to happen after the gates of sotha sil open? and does this have anything to do with "a crisis will come to tamriel when the bladed path opens"?

Mush55

Open QA,

Why no new dungeons or vet versions of Vaults of Madness or Direfrost Keep

Braddec

Open QA

Skill point gained VR1-VR16, with the removal of VR, will the existing VR characters lose those skill points or are they going to be parsed out with the # of CP? (ie 1 point every 10 CP)

If they are granted every x number of CP, does that mean that new characters on the account will start out x number of skill points at level 1?

rootimus

There's a whole bunch of questions for the panelists here.

Uriel_Nocturne

Storytelling Q&A

After the release of the Dark Brotherhood, the overarching Story of ESO appears to be pretty malleable. With the Imperial City, Orsinium, Thieves Guild, and now Dark Brotherhood, we have a good idea of what is and has been going on during the course of the Main Story arc.

Now that these are completed though, are we going to see any more advancement of the Main Story?

We've stopped the Plane Meld. Molag Bal is diminished for a time and unable as of yet to enact the revenge he is certainly planning for the Player Character. Where does the story arc go from here? Or are we stuck to just wander Tamriel's wilds while we wait for another player to threaten Tamriel?

Sorry if this is long, I hope I made my query clear enough.

Open q & a

When this year do you plan to tell us what the 2 new classes will be.
