ESO Live Ideas

2 Devs vs Thelon

That gives me an idea...

I wanna see an in-game event on each platform in each server (at different times of course) where actual devs spent time taking on the town guard of each faction capitol. I'd SO love to see that because neither side can die

Sure they could just record it and broadcast it on the stream but I'd rather see it in person

Nah spectators would fight too lol

Another idea I'd love to see is having the artists and world designers on the show discussing (even in brief) about how new zones come together. What focal points from lore and design ideas come together to great the theme and concepts, what work goes towards envisioning each landmass to make it stand out and have that unique feel that greatly separates one zone from another.

As mentioned in ask us anything, I feel a look into your SDLC process, and how that differs from PC to Console, would be helpful. This can be tacted onto @Preyfar 's idea

You could do a highlight clip from folks that submit videos in, limited to 15 to 30 seconds clips.

A greased up mud wrestling match between devs and PVP streamers (I'm looking at you @FENGRUSH & @ZOS_BrianWheeler ). Or maybe it can be a guitar battle, what ever works for contestants.

A cooking segment trying to make several of the recipes found in game.

Mectrics reporting, giving numbers for the number of bugs being worked on, how many were fixed since last stream, how many bans were given in PVP, how many warnings, and other relevant information. Folks want more transparency things are being worked on, but we don't necessarily need specifics.

A block of time dedicated to pvp. That's a large part of the audience and there should be a 15 to 30 minute block dedicated to just that. Whether it be discussing up coming things, interviews with top players, going over pvp builds, doing questions specific on PVP.

That's it for me

1/ I'd like to have short roleplaying sessions with Jessica (Folsom) and Lawrence (Schick). These two are just so good at it. They used to do it someplace (not ESO Live, but can't remember where). Why not on ESO Live ? Of course that will annoy the "PvP arena" crowd but they're not alone in there.

2/ I'd love to have some "feedback" from the devs about the differences between a dungeon or instance as they had planned it and as it turned out within the community of players. Take outdated content (Hel Ra now, AA now, DSA now, whatever), look at the main strats used by the players. Is there anything that we do that surprise you ? that wasn't planned at all ? Inversely, is there any strategy or solution that we never found out ? or that you thought we'd use but never commonly used ? Do we usually play "as you intended us to", or completely differently ? So in general, looking back, how is Tamriel the way we play it different from what you imagined and created ?

I'd love these two topics included in some way in ESO live :-) .

Do you do "behind the scenes"? Like a brief video diary of the team and what they get up to?

We could, sure! It would take a bit of planning on our part, but it's certainly possible. We had actually toyed with the idea at one point to livestream some Behind the Scenes stuff via Periscope or FB Live, but it sort of fell off the radar.

Just, FYI, that was not a "radar" problem... that was a wad of chewing gum that one of the devs put over the camera lens.

Glaiceana

I love the shows!

I'd love to see more concept art and especially texture and model related work since I'm in game development myself so I'm interested in seeing other game artists work in this game!

The guild spotlight would be nice to see again!

Also, featuring fan art, I loved those segments!

leandro.800ub17_ESO

Ive notice that recently player feedback as been taken more into account. The trade bop items with group and racial passive ajustments are a example.
One thing i would like to see is ZOS piking up a forum post of a certain feedback or sugestion and debating it on live

Lettigall

Make some contests, example best screenshot(thematic, funny, etc., ), character backstory for RPers, fan art for artistic ones and etc. And make contests regular thing!

Talk more about lore, lore is one of the reasons why ES series are so popular.

Invite active community members to ESO live via stream. Let the people talk!

More giveaways, everybody loves them!

Armitas

I would like to see some of our player community on eso live. What they are excited about, what they enjoy, how they like to play, something cool they found, and what builds they enjoy and why. This would be something that the players would prerecord and submit for review.

Also, it needs some pyrotechnics, a fog machine and a ripping guitar solo at the begining.

What ID like to see:

The stream actually being ready and not you guys doodling around for 20minutes because you werent ready.

More PvP related topics instead of the stale "We haven't forgot"

Guest Stars

Brian Wheeler because I feel like he is dead or something

Important topics rather than the goofy remarks of how Wrobel found a freaking Pikachu on his way to work

You know a more professional podcast

I couldn't disagree more with what you have said about what I bolded. Maintaining a fun, light atmosphere makes both the stream and their job more fun and lighthearted. Who's gonna watch a few sticks in the mud talk game mechanics and updates like the whole world is serious business? Not as many as who watches now, that's for sure. We can relate more to people rather than businessmen and businesswomen so talking about their lives and cutting loose is definitely the better approach.

You can still maintain a lighthearted stream while being professional and actually having a stream up and running on time. Im not saying turn into a Public Service Announcement

I can relate to that to a certain extent. As much as I like seeing people "relaxed and happy", the falsely played sloppiness isn't pleasant. Not a major issue though.

RebornV3x

I wanna know more about future class balance cause what we have now is BS especially for Mag Sorcs
]
Also teasers for future DLC would be nice and player housing maybe show off any cool feature cause I can't wait that.

If you know where to look, you can find wheeler on twitch doing non-eso related stuffs.

I have a few ideas that are inspired from previous shows...

In Episode 13, there was a "Find the Black Cat!" segment that spanned the whole show. Whilst this seems to have been exclusive as a Friday 13th activity, I'd definitely love to see more mini-contests like this throughout the show that had rewards associated with them, instead of a random Twitch chat name generator, which is the case most of the time when it comes to handing out goodies.

Also, in Episode 17 (timestamp), there was an "Armchair Developer" segment, where the developers addressed the possibilities of introducing content that was often of popular request. In that episode, it was the topic of underwater exploration and combat, and even though they said they wouldn't be able to implement it, it was still interesting to hear them discuss it. So, if this were to return with new topics to talk about, I think people would appreciate it.

@Wrobel being hit by a nerfcake (with lots of cream on it!) right in his smiling face.

I think it's important for people to remember that the devs ARE people. They have fun playing games, creating games, and having fun. Devs who show no emotion come off as cold, robotic and uncaring. One of the reasons people do like ZOS is because they inject a bit of humor at times into dev responses, patch notes. Nothing is ever perfect, but what makes ESO Live great is that you see a bit of the people behind the scenes.

They're putting themselves out there, trying to be approachable and engage directly with the community. I think a lot of people take that for granted.

Too bad they are so selective on what they want to reply to. Soon as the word console comes into it they ignore everything.

It's not really about being strict or relaxed. It's about being there with us or not. It's about the audience (us) being there and them keeping us waiting. As I said, there's no casus belli here, but I didn't like this "pre-episode" and the waiting either.
Gina talking about her baby and such is a different thing : it's relaxed, it's personal, it's funny, and she's actually talking to us, she's there with us. That's great. But the bunch of them laying on the couch and looking annoyed af having to start the show ? That wasn't great.

NewBlacksmurf

There is a strong lack and considerations of a console specific ESO Live.

Logic:
-The console versions drastically differ and the roll out of content updates as well as the bugs and fixes are often never addressed.

-It's equally important to endeavor to address and market the other two platforms.
The current state of each console has become more important to the success of ESO but it's not apparent nor does it even come off as important.

Specifics:

-Each console show needs to show actual console video footage and show your internal staff play the console versions (both not just one involving the below)
-Collect concerns and don't just produce your own agenda. People have many console specific threads that are rarely addressed. There needs to be a part of the show 15-20 mins just about this.
-15-20 mins need to be specific to upcoming updates, DLC
-these should happen a minimum of once a month
-please be mindful of the content that's not covered that's often on the forums such as these:
1. ESO Plus (Xbox) 2. Crashing in Orsinium 3. Extreme lag and long loading of NPCs 4. Long or lack logic based of responses to tickets.

No, it's just Orioles season tickets.

Spliting ,,Ask Us Anything" segment to few smaller segments focused on certain areas like Lore, PvE, PvP etc and answering on like 5 questions each segment or giving each segment certain amount of time.

WhiteCoatSyndrome

More lore please! The lore is easily my favorite part of Elder Scrolls.

And I will second that it would be nice to have it a little later in the day, for those of us who work during those hours.

tinythinker

Monthly themes with player-created content contests could be fun.

Elsonso

SO, thinking back... an old idea that could be resurrected.

Community events. Even if you don't do anything on an ESO Live, we really need a calendar for events like this.

Rohamad_Ali

I'd like to see a Dunk Tank since its summer . Let someone with a good throwing arm dunk a dev for what ever bug of the month is .

An entire 15 minutes dedicated to PvP talk . 10 minutes to discuss upcoming fixes , known problems and five minutes to show case some good PvP clips and players .

Then I'd like to see a 15 PvE showcase with the same thing only showcase leader boards and great players .

Then a RP segment to show community creations for 15 minutes .

The rest could be on the road ahead .

Yes, I would love to see how they come up with the names of Town/Cities Characters etc
