Yes!!! This!!^ I still go back a watch the Quake Con 2014 vids of what was being worked on. Please update us this, Pretty Please With Moon-Sugar on Top????

Also, would love to see maybe a "Featured Guild" segment and/or a guild segment to discuss improvements to guild tools, etc...(Lol.. I know this has been brought up MANY times in forums, but just had to add it here).
Thank you for a great game!
Huzzah!

Can we have an actual Dev on stream who can explain what issues are being worked on at the moment? Can even do it on things that aren't game breaking and will also be fixed in the next patch so would only be live for 3-4 days. Can even take them from the forums here since you'll know then that the community already knows about it.

Also a segment where you sit down and address the comments and overall themes from your own forum threads and stickies and what ZOS are going to do moving forward.

Admittedly I haven't seen any live shows, partly because I'm British but mostly because those I have seen have addressed only the fan boys and RPers while ignoring bugs, exploits and PvP.

Oh!! A 30-60 minute segment specifically addressing PvP and it's issues. None of this new build or new features nonsense.

Returning to having shows every couple of weeks, rather than just when there is a new dlc to promote/sell/show off would be great. Not saying don't promote the DLC but would be good to have shows between DLC launches

Yeah, this would be good. I don't see ESO Live as a marketing exercise, which is what it has become. It should be an avenue of general communication about the game, including upcoming content, for people who like to get their information from a live video stream.

Noooooooo ! please, just no !

Streamers and Youtubers already have their channels. If you want to see and hear them, you know where to go.
If we want to listen to players talking to ZOS, we have this forum already.

ESO Live is for ZOS talking to us, not for us watching ZOS talking to someone who is not representative of anything or anyone.

Or they could bring them onto the show in order to have a discussion with the developers as my original statement was suggesting.

I would love to hear what the priority bug fixes are, which ones are on back-burner, which ones are just about done, which ones you are testing a fix on.

By no means doesn't it need to be comprehensive, but it would be great to get some communication on any progress being made, or to hear what kinds of things are blocking that progress. It would make people feel a lot better even to know that a certain bug ISN'T getting worked on because there is something of higher priority in the pipeline. Obviously discussion of exploitable mechanics would be excluded.

Really just an acknowledgement of progress being made. I believe you hear us, and I believe you are working like hell to make ESO a better game. It already is a great game. However, communication about the tangible stuff (mechanics, bugs, balance) has been pretty lacking. There have been a few great threads Eric has put up in the past, and regardless of how toxic many of the responses to those threads are, I can tell you that, at least from me, they are very appreciated.

I have had a really bad customer support experience with Xbox on the well known ESO PLUS issues happening for people on Xbox One. I think it would be a really good thing to at least give people an idea on what you trying to do to fix it, even a hypothesis that you guys think might fix, but all and all I feel like giving up on this game and I have been a part of this game since the near beginning about a month after the official launch of ESO being in May 2014 on PC. I transferred to Xbox One, because I couldn't keep my laptop from breaking and having to send it in for repair, so I thought by transferring to Xbox One would be better, but I feel like I am starting to regret that decision. So I am not asking I am really begging you guys please tell us what you are going to permanently fix the ESO PLUS issues on Xbox One?

IcyDeadPeople

Have really enjoyed it each time the developers visit PVP areas or enter into battles with players. Might be a fun way to show off the new Cyrodiil town capture.

Honestly what you're asking is like Obama inviting Conan O'Brien to stand up at the podium with him during his big official speeches and chatting with him.

Khajiit would suggest more of the following:

Yarn based articles

Documentaries on fishing in Tamriel

Chasing the devs on the PTS only to have the chat box/UI freeze on me just as the camera is on and you ask my camel to spit (this happened not so long ago to my orc apprentice)

Perhaps also a peek into the process in which store items such as costumes are designed yes?

Those fun bits where you don't know the camera is on yet

Maybe a competition to write a new bard song?

Kittens


And less of the following please:

Dunmer, Altmer, Bosmer, Werewolves, Town guards

Yours with paws
Santie Claws

This one finds your name to be very mighty, Santie Claws; and yes less elves and guards but werewolves... I can cope with werewolves... Khajiit life is the only life worth living

Whether they bring them onto the show (you really think ZOS will buy them plane tickets to come to ESO live...? ) or talk to them remotely, it's the same : I want ZOS talking to us as an audience, not talking to them as self-declared "representatives" of the audience.

Besides, most of them streamers/youtubers cannot speak two words in a row without cursing.

Have the art director who made the breton hero armor come and visit, please. A lot of questions for that man.

Yeah that's not gonna turn into a chatroom flamespamfest.

Lord_Eomer

I suggest to provide ESO Live agenda before the show.

It will help many players to decide if want to attend.

Please also blog ESO live episode.

Tipsy

I'd like to suggest making eso live a few hours longer.
Where devs plan to play a certain part of the game themselves.As issues come up ,
they can take notes & followers could make suggestions for the issues that arise.
After the stream ends,the summary of the suggestions & that part of the live stream is released.

They usually do this the day before the show.

Why would it be a balance issue? I don't get that.

If I make a super powered thunderbolt that costs 40k magika per cast they can craft the same or a super powered shield to sponge it? If I miss or they dodge it then I'm screwed?! It's not a balance issue more of a not knowing what to do issue thier end.

I really want a spell in increase physical damage by 1m and costs and 1k ulti and leap into a zerg armed with vicious death. I'll be killed straight away afterwards but I'll get some AP.

Stupid power has always come at a cost of stupid weakness and never been a balance issue. When was the last time a 5k damage stamblade with 800 regen and 14k health killed a bunch of people in pvp.

It would be really cool if during ESO Live broadcast you would have one of developers on Live server appearing somewhere in the world with us the players being able to catch up with and hang around. Just like you had developers on PTS server previously being joined by players exploring the world. The giveaways could involve not only by being the first one to type a word in Twitch chat but also by performing an emote to a developer or something like that.

Elsonso

I'd actually like to see a Developer Armchair where they replace the class system with a skill system that includes making spells. Make it more of an Elder Scrolls game than a DAoC spinoff.

You make it sound so easy.

Every possible spell combination needs to be tested and measured, then compared to the existing class abilities. Each magical class ability needs to be recreated in the spell system to make sure that it behaves equivalently. Just the testing and tuning effort for this would take months.

Then, when Wrobel wanted to change some skill ability, the whole thing would have to be done again for that skill. All possible Spell System combinations that mimic that class skill would have to be tuned and tested.

Of course, that is a perfect world. In reality, I doubt QA is able to do more that just scratch the surface when it comes to testing the game today. (Not that they don't want to test better) Spell System would add an entirely new category of barely tested stuff to the game.

Cuyler

I'd like to see more metrics. For example How many completed vMA (by class), vMOL, vSO now and vAA, vHRC (broken down by server and platforms) after patch. Then a discussion about how those metrics are used to determine the difficulty of content and what ZOS thinks is a reseasonable completion percentage for each and how that relates to the time and cost to develop the content. Then a discussion about how these numbers are being used to forecast future content development.

This could be further delineated into how many attempted but only completed 1st boss, 2nd, 3rd and not the entire trial. Again by server and platform. Even further into time weighted averages and server population weighted averages.

Destyran

I want to see you publicly address all the issues in console and tell us your plans on fixing them.

Valn

I want to see a how a dev models some characters or areas and to give us a walkthrough of what theyre doing. I'd like to see what the day to day lives of the staff are like, what they do, what tasks they're set etc..

They find what is causing them and fix them of course.

They actually already did this in a past stream. Orsinium was the featured DLC.

Volrion

Japanese or Oceana server!

I don't want to quit, but there is no end game for me now because all the good content (Pvp/Trials/Vet Dungeons) are unplayable.

Please consider it for once! Thank you!

Be good to see a dev queue up with the group finder at the start of the show and when he has still not found a group 90 mins later I would like to see him explain that it is working fine and doesn't need fixing.....

That's not a broken mechanic issue, that's a lack of use issue.
