    Can we please see the exclusive emotes that come with the collector's edition of Morrowind? I'm sure some people still can't decide which edition to get :)

    If there's any video somewhere else - I'd appreciate the link.

    I'm intrigued.... Upcoming GAMEPLAY changes in the next PTS patch... that doesn't sound like the odd 2% buff or nerf here and there...

    Stating its gameplay makes it sound a bit more significant & weighty... or maybe I'm just reading too much into it.

    I am not sure if they would make big changes again those changes wouldn't be really testable and if needed tuned for launch :-| .

    Some game play changes (that is code for nerfs). This is from tomorrow's broadcast. In an effort to make the game healthy we have converted everyone to Warden. We have removed all weapons and armor and when you light attack your character says pew pew pew. When you heavy attack you character says bam bam bam. We will be charging your credit cards $39.99 for pay to play. You can get your power back but it will cost you...

    Ooo we're guessing, I'll bite.

    I don't think they can do anything too large this close now but... I have two feelings.

    1. Decrease the time it takes to heavy attack, a revision of the prior increase.

    2. CP enabled battlegrounds

    I think major skill changes are locked in at this point.

    Power level to CP160 in a week:
    Where is the end game? You just played it.
    Why don't I have 300+ skill points? Because you skipped content along the way.
    Where is new content? Sigh.

    The same thing, more class nerfs and the reason why they feel they are needed regardless of community feedback. I made my main a Templar, with these class changes I will probably never play again. If the class changes are getting worse, my main wont matter, I will not be playing the game any longer .....

    Are you ACTUALLY doing ANYTHING to fix constant crashes and lags in Cyrodill nowdays? It very very bad at the moment.

    Or you simply just don't give a damn and we all can move to next subject?

    I am very concerned that all these changes will make it impossible for me to complete content i am used to being able to complete now and then to think i was concerned a while ago with the lower ceiling statement that my progression would be stopped by becoming to easy.

    Make up your mind about how you want your game to play please, we like to have fun not chase the next bis set that will be made into pos the next patch and figure out how to play.

    Love the ESO live broadcasts though and appreciate it you do those.

    The fact that they are doing a broadcast to detail final gameplay changes seems to indicate there will be something significant coming. Hopefully it involves some type of adjustment to their sustain nerf; reverting the nerf to armor passives would be welcomed. Too much nerfing too quickly is really detrimental to the entire player population, things like this should be done slowly and monitored for effectiveness... clearly on PTS it was WAY too much and turned gameplay into a boring 'heavy attack' fest... and with the increase of time for HAs, it really makes it even worse.

    Yeah. At this point, they could buff 10 things, including sustain, but if they reduce the duration of some skill by 0.1s, or reduce a radius by 6 cm, some people in the forum will only confirm that the game is dead.

    It will be interesting to see what they say. There are people who seem locked into certain habitual ways of thinking about the game, and this update is pushing against that. ZOS can obviously see the blind spot held by a lot of players. The question is whether ZOS will try to illuminate, or reverse direction.

    I have stocked up on popcorn.

    You don't have to use exactly 140 characters. You can use fewer! :smiley:

    The problem is more I am really long spoken and really snobby about trying to use correct grammar! I should be okay, I'll try and do it under #ESO and #ESOLive if I can.

    As they already were saying numerous times, major changes can be implemented every 2 weeks. And next week will be this 2nd after previous major changes.
