Livestream Plans This Week

ZOS_GinaBruno · July 2016

Hi everyone!

This week, we will not be broadcasting a new episode of ESO Live on Twitch. Instead, we have a special treat for you.

Beginning at 12:00pm EDT (noon) on 7/29, ESO Dungeon Lead Mike Finnigan will be teaming up with Larry Everett from MassivelyOP.com to battle their way through Cradle of Shadows - one of the new dungeons featured in the upcoming Shadows of the Hist DLC game pack – live on Twitch! Joining them will be Designer Anthony Oliver, and QA Senior Tester Jay Hartman. In addition, we'll be doing some live giveaways in the chat room during the stream for those who are able to attend.

We’ll post a link to the stream by Friday morning, and we hope to see you there!

I think this would be really interesting to watch if the team used some of the classes that the community feels are underperforming. For example, the DPS could constitute a magicka DK and magicka Sorc. The group should run a tank (maybe Orc), rather than a 3rd dps, and for the healer, maybe a sorc pet build. That way, the team could try to dispel the communities doubts about imbalanced classes or at least see where the community is coming from.

I'm thinking though it'll probably be the "easy" PvE class/race combinations that we'll be seeing.

^^^^ good idea

@ZOS_RichLambert Take this opportunity to troll your employees by making them do it on veteran.

Thelon · July 2016

Which ZOS staff member will be on hand to discuss the upcoming balance changes?

@ZOS_RichLambert Increase the difficulty of every enemy (including bosses) by at least 3 times! Give them all tons more health and damage than they should ever have.

Make other Devs test it on stream. Would be so funny

I'd have preferred an ESO Live. But I guess many people will be happy about the livestreamed dungeon. Good luck guys ! :-)

I don't get it. It's like watching people build a model before getting to build the model. I'll play it when it comes out if i have any crown left over.

James-Wayne · July 2016

Make them use one of each class to be fair to every class

GreenSoup2HoT · July 2016

Nice, avoid all the issues the community is currently concerned about (Breton Hero costume / Malubeth / etc) and provide a live stream of a Dungeon that isn't all that important to most. I guess it will be fun to see the possible cringe game-play when the developers play but i personally would rather hear new's about bugs that the dev team is aware of and comments on issues that the community has received no feedback on.

Will there be an ESO Live next Week? @ZOS_GinaBruno

This one made me go "what...?"

And considering the state of PvE, this won't dispel anything. Completing a dungeon is not an achievement, you could very well be running a stam tank/healer and 3 DDs, you could even be running 1 tank and 1 DD and still complete it.

You can be running whatever the hell you want and be successful. Running an Orc tank will have people comment "oh well, they would definitely have won this fight / have been much easier if XXX had another race instead"?

Great! Glad to be seeing more community interaction. Are they doing Normal or Veteran? :O

I'll try to tune in, but that's around when my team's scheduled to go to lunch... here's hoping I get to catch most of it!

ZOS_GinaBruno · July 2016

Hey guys! In a surprising twist of events, we are going to be livestreaming with MMORPG.com in about 5 minutes! Be sure to tune in to see the ESO developers play through the Ruins of Mazzatun dungeon with Bill Murphy. We'll be doing a few giveaways throughout the stream as well.

Ach a shame there is not the ESO Live.

This one she hoped for maybe a fashion parade of the devs or something.

Yours with soon to be stylish paws

I am going to be a little cranky here. I wish you would not stream group content before it is released. It feels like everyone in my guild knows the mechanics already. Figuring out White Gold Tower and Imperial City Prison with guildies was a lot of fun. I know there were YouTube videos and stuff out there, but they don't seem to have the following the official ZOS streams do. Trying to find 3 other good players who don't know the new dungeons already seems like it is going to be much harder than when vWGT and vICP came out.

MyNameIsElias · July 2016

@ZOS_GinaBruno That was a fun stream, really good watch. And thank you for being awesome in the chat, got a ton of questions answered

Elsonso · July 2016

Any plans to provide a replay (including chat) for those of us who have to work today?

@lordrichter

If you go directly to the Twitch page (link is at the bottom of the page in Gina's post) you can re-watch it with chat

Er, they're kinda late to the party. Tons of people tried out the dungeons during the first week of PTS, streaming them, posting videos, guides, etc. By this point, anyone who wants to be spoiled has already been spoiled, and this stream being more official won't really change any of that.

If you don't want to be spoiled, then group with people who have a similar mindset.

Also, you could still get that first-time-figuring-out-the-dungeon experience on the PTS. I didn't want to be spoiled, so during the first few days, I purposefully didn't check out any of the videos and streams. My friends had the same mindset, and they refrained. When we were ready, we all hopped onto the PTS together and experienced the dungeons and their mechanics for our very first time. (I wasn't going to wait for Live to experience the dungeons, and wiping is a lot cheaper on the PTS.

)

WillhelmBlack · July 2016

Can't find link to re watch mmorpg's stream, their Twitch past broadcasts not working for me. Was able to watch Massively OP's no problem on YouTube.

Not to be negative, but this is a bit worrying to watch.

The guy who play are the dungeon designer right?
Anyway. There is no medium weave. He dont notice bound aegis is off. His food buff goes off, he does'nt notice. He heavy attack with full magicka. He saves up 1000 ultimate and never use his meteor, when meteor are designed to be used, specially for a sorc with reduce cost. He spams liquid lightning up to 4-5 times. In other words, its like he never played the game before

If you only design dungeons with how they look and how mechanics are made etc, its ok.
But please tell me players like this are not doing the final test of the actual gameplay.

Again, so sorry for sounding negative here, but im actually worried when looking at this.
Btw, just realised why COA got nerfed.

Have to add, I never saw a weapon swap either.

No, the guy streaming isn't the dungeon designer. He's an outsider who's hosting this run. You'll be better off paying attention to what the "Finn" character does, as he's the lead dungeon guy.

Sry for not paying attention. I just saw he had no idea what he was doing and streaming for zos. No need to start a huge discussion. thanks for answer.

You weren't listening either. He specifically mentioned that he had no idea how to play a sorc, and no idea how to play a distant damage dealer, but he chose this in order for us viewers to have a large view of what was happening instead of the close up, restricted view of a melee DD. Besides, he was obviously more concerned with having a stable camera with a nice angle than efficient gameplay, and that's appropriate in this context.

Also, they were all playing more or less badly, as they said, because they were concentrating on the conversation. The idea was to give us a "live" insight of the dungeon, what expects us there, what they had in mind while designing it, etc. Not to see them wiping over and over (what would have been the case if they had chosen vet mode) nor to see them roflstomping everything (which would have been the case with a proper team, non-template CP501 chars and people focusing on playing instead of talking).

You on the other hand gave us an instant insight of how "elite" (meant negatively this time) players think and judge other players without taking anything else into consideration. As soon as someone hardcatsts crystal frags, leaves an opportunity unused, or doesn't use an AOE when there are multiple targets, or does/doesn't do any of the things you mentioned, they're immediately classified.

I think that, in return, emphasizing that YOU weren't paying attention to either what was shown nor what was said in the context is only fair.

(edited for grammar and spelling)

Destruent · July 2016

Sry, but even when talking with friends on ts and when playing a new class you can play a lot better than they did. i was seriously shocked, too. It also shows, that they didn't really prepare for this stream, which is even more worrying.
