ESO Live Ideas

Do some research and view other Dev streams... A perfect example being Warframe Dev streams from Digital Extremes (probably one of the most loved and respected developers in the MMO industry to date).

Notice how bright, fresh and welcoming their studio is compared to your dank hovel? Also notice the professionalism, nearly always on time, they have a clear understanding of what they are talking about, there's no lies or tip toeing around things. There's a lot more enthusiasm too. When you guys present fan art concepts etc you sound like you're reading out a list of deceased people. Really.

I really wanted to post about Warframe too, their shows are awesome and engaging. Would be great to see @ZOS_GinaBruno and @ZOS_JessicaFolsom playing the game for even 15-20 mins just as Rebecca and Megan do on Prime Time. The Dev Streams are great, also. Those guys are so lively and passionate about their game, talking about changes and showing new things that are coming up. It keeps things fresh and interesting.

That's an interesting idea. Having a segment of ESO Live where we watch the dev teams at work could be insightful. But it may affect productivity if they're being interrupted by viewers asking questions all the time.

Hello. In the most recent ESO Live there was talk about performance. I'd really like to see some of the graphs that show improvements, even a sneak peak at the BOT's would be very cool.

This would give the community some insight to how the dev's are cracking down on performance issues (more specifically in Cryodill).

Thanks.

What I would like to see included in EVERY ESO live is a segment dedicated to PVP , Its Campaigns, who won , Emperors etc

Even just some HIGHLIGHTS

Surely with the amount of CHAT screaming out about PVP questions that because there is NO AGENDA moderators delete them or they simply get ignored

A PVP segment would round out the rest of the ESO Community to satisfaction of the WHOLE

You could even dedicate some time on TRIALS and Leader boards in general

Some of us find that more interesting to Fan Art (not that there is nothing wrong with it) for example

Myself i would not care less about PvP.

What i would like to see in ESOlive's to come is the new music you have prepared for the next DLC adventure, when the music is at that point, of course like with Thieves guild release. I really enjoyed that.

A few months ago, I commented on a thread with an idea for an ESO live segment that I'd really like to see.

I wouldn't want them to live stream pvp gameplay because ESO live doesn't take place during NA PC primetime. In addition, you know there would be players on the opposing faction doing everything in their power to hunt down the devs and any groups they joined.

Instead, I would like the devs to record themselves pvping a few days before the ESO live episode, that way they can edit out any names or language they deem necessary.

I'd want multiple devs playing on different factions, and in different groups during this recording. They should type something to the effect of "CP160 healer lfg, have TS" in zone in order to join groups of players who are semi organized. They don't have to speak in TS, or in group chat if they don't want to, but they should attempt to follow the leader's orders. These are things they've said they do already, but it would be a lot of fun to actually watch them grouped with players.

During the next episode of ESO live, they could show a 20-30 minute clip from the recording, with commentary from the featured devs, and then play the whole recording once the show is over. The only edits should be censoring out player names and bad language; because it's a pre recorded session, viewers can skip through parts of the video during which the dev's group is taking a short break. If there were four devs playing during the session, it would be easy enough to split the screen into four windows so that all of the recordings could be viewed at the same time.

Doing videos like these before each ESO live episode would be a nice day to remind players that you are playing the game with them. It may also encourage groups to pickup players who are lfg in zone chat.

In addition, it would be so much fun for the devs to contact dueling guilds and setup 1 on 1 fights with some of the members. During the last episode, I think you mentioned that Kyle was one of the better players at ZOS. I can't tell you how badly I want to duel him with my pet build!

How about adding an element of randomness to the group dungeons? The dungeons get boring and repetitive after a decent number of visits, and I guess it's not far from truth that you could finish them with your eyes closed - a bit of randomness would dramatically improve the situation!
Left 4 Dead is highly replay-able due to the randomness where it's not possible to predict where and what you are going to encounter (except for very specific triggers), but the same approach of game design wouldn't work with ESO because the dungeon bosses are bound to their certain places, to the story. However, it should be possible to randomize the spawns of mobs in between the boss encounters in order to make the "filler spaces" more interesting to fight through. Some time there will be spiders at some point, some time archers, sometime just one, stronger enemy ("semi-boss") and sometimes there will be no one at a specific place.
Arguably, this randomness is going to make the game a bit unfair, especially when it comes to achievements, but there should be fairly easy methods to make each possible variation of the dungeon equally time consuming. Keeping same overall amount of mobs with same sum of health points is the easiest way to ensure equal difficulty of each run. This feature could be implemented for normal (silver) dungeons at first as these aren't as stressing as veteran (gold) dungeons where more difficult achievements and tasks are found. No randomness in veteran dungeons, no extra reason to be mad at the game - a fair trade IMO.

Have you any plans to add a "Photo Mode" option to consoles where you can turn off the whole UI?

Nice suggestion but what has it got to do with ESO Live ?

Here's an idea, remove or rescale the buffs for people being scaled in cyrodiil. Im in scourge NA xbox one. Problem is the majority of the enimies i fight are level 16-24 with cp531. They made one character got it to level fifty then maxed cp, now they make a second character and keep them at low levels so they get those ridiculous buffs to health stam, magic,physical resistance, spell resistance,etc while in cyrodiil.

So i wanna know why this not being fixed. If there cp531 they should get no buffs, if under cp 531 maybe give them a small buff. There is no way a level 15 with max cp should hit just as hard as a level 50 with max cp. Its bull.

Faunter

Please go into detail about what takes place behind the scenes during a server maintenance. What is everyone doing? Who's in charge? Why does it take so long? Natch potes?

Conquistador

Scalable writs that can be turned in at any city.

-Guild Spotlights
-Show leaderboard scores
-Have live footage of a dev running around the world doing random stuff
-Weekly statistics. For example, "This weeks hottest item" (the item that has been sold most often in-game or crown store)
-This weeks unique character build

You can fix the drop rate of soul shriven from .00000001% to somthing? just a thought? Maybe balance the classes better so that templars are not farting 100000k damage

Could we possibly have a regular game and Tamriel lore section with Loremaster Lawrence, please?

Reminds me, almost completely aside... Can we have the lore screens stick when we enter locations? I hate it when I'm reading the lore and it turns to the inane tutorial stuff.

Dissentinel

It'd be awesome to see the devs just playing the game, honestly. I'd love to watch you guys to dungeons, trials, PvP, and the like. Also, bring Lawrence Shick on more!

Moloch1514

Can we have an episode with ZOS Marketing explaining their vision of the game? Would be nice to see who is behind it all.

ComboBreaker88

When will you be increasing the housing item and player limit? It's a pitiful joke right now.

Vanthras79

Bring back the section on community art. Perhaps a certain senior artist to give constructive feedback? *Nudge Nudge*
