✭✭A thread Talking About communication with the playerbase among other things being necroed from 2018 without anything having changed is one sort of irony I can appreciate.Politeness is respecting others.
Courage is doing what is fair.
Modesty is speaking of oneself without vanity.
Self control is keeping calm even when anger rises.
Sincerity is expressing oneself without concealing ones thoughts.
Honor is keeping ones word.13 -

To be clear, my role here is less about making specific changes or improvements to the product and more about helping our teams improve how we work and communicate, both with each other and with you - the players. That being said, I'd be lying if I said there aren't specific aspects of the game I'd like to improve.
My intent is to start posting here on the forums more regularly and, in time, provide more insight into how we think about Gameplay design. My days are already pretty busy (it turns out shipping an update every 3 months leads to a pretty aggressive development schedule!) but I will engage when I can. I'm also certain Gina will find opportunities to poke me for a response.
So far, you have been radio-silent since your initial post and August 2018 introduction, almost a year ago now.
@ZOS_RobGarrett you stated that your intent was to post more regularly on the forums; however, your most-recent post, and your only post this entire year, was on January 4th, well over 6 months ago.
Maybe it is time for some communication now, or ever? Has workflow & communication between ZOS development teams changed for the better since you entered your Lead Gameplay Designer role; if so, how? What gameplay changes have you initiated or helped to initiate become positive, successful changes thus far? Do you have any update for the players whatsoever going forward on anything ESO-related at all? Do you even work for ZOS anymore? Hellooooo!
My momma always told me if you don’t have anything good to say, say nothing at all.
So, know you know why they remain silent.

Probably because he accidentally left "Allow Notifications" enabled. He needed to log back in and disable it after this necro'ing.18 -

I personally haven't paid attention to which ZOS employee actually sits and plays on console but I love knowing that someone, such as yourself, is actually experiencing it on console firsthand and taking time to play like that.
With that said, if you are on PS4 NA, can we duel? I want to duel a GM. I only heard rumors of past encounters and I missed all of them in my 4 years of playing.Your friendly neighborhood crazy cat lady of ESO

He played last year, or claimed to. It's possible he got enough visibility into that experience to never return.17 -

✭@ZOS_RobGarrett is aware and doesn't care about the issues. Don't forget what he said in an interview to a player:
Slowing Down Content Releases and the Great Fix Patch
I spoke with Rob about the fast release of updates and if ZOS had considered doing a “Great Fix Patch” for one of their updates. He said it’s a question they get a lot and whilst it’s not off the table they as a company do need to produce for everyone and a majority of the bugs and issues faced are not ones everyone encounters or are drastically halting gameplay, as such they need to continue creating content for people who want new content to play and and don’t play at the higher level to notice if a skill or mechanic works a little wonky.3 -

I just wanted to take an opportunity to introduce myself here on the forums. I'm the Lead Gameplay Designer on ESO, overseeing the Systems, Combat, PvP, and User Interface teams. Some of you may have seen me on ESO Live last month. I was a little nervous in the beginning of the show if you couldn't tell. =P
I've been working in games for 15 years, most recently having spent 7 at Riot Games working on League of Legends and several smaller games in the LoL universe. I joined ZOS in January and started playing ESO about a year ago. Obviously many of you have been playing the game much longer and have acquired a wealth of knowledge and expertise during that time. ESO is a huge game, and I won't claim to have the same depth of knowledge as someone who's been actively playing since beta.
I do, however, play pretty much every day (I recently switched from PC to console to get better visibility into that experience) and scan the forums and Reddit when time permits. I also lean on the knowledge and experience of the great teams and people here at ZOS who've been hammering on ESO for about a decade. To be clear, my role here is less about making specific changes or improvements to the product and more about helping our teams improve how we work and communicate, both with each other and with you - the players. That being said, I'd be lying if I said there aren't specific aspects of the game I'd like to improve.

ESO is a great game. I wouldn't have joined the team if I didn't believe that, and it's exciting to have a hand in shaping the game for the coming years. I'm happy to be here and am looking forward to hearing from you!
Great to see you here! I've often said that the community of a game is a powerful resource, and developers who don't make use of that resource are severely hindering their game. It's great that you want to work with us to make ESO the best game ever made (because it can be!).

It's so hard to tell sometimes. If the posts expressing excitement about this new chapter of ZOS/Community harmony are meant ironically, they're pretty funny.4 -

✭I know it’s kinda obvious but I think what I am taking from this post - 2018 till present.... is that the new content is the focus.... fixes for what the community sees as major issues are on the back burner... and the burner isn’t lit.....4 -

And I now get the irony of the late responses to the OP. Things are worst than the were then.JumpmanLane wrote: »I like dead things. I’m here for the Necro party too lol
You can use this if you like. I used it in another post but it's just as relevant here.

Groupfinder:
The worst part is when it finally puts you in a group, your healer turns into a werewolf, your tank has 14k HP and the dps is heavy armor, using a restro staff and a two handed sword on the backbar. Then comes the 15 minute penalty before the cycle starts anew.
Rulz of Morrowind:- The first rule of Morrowind is: You do not talk about Morrowind.
- The second rule of Morrowind is: You do not talk about Morrowind.
- Third rule of Morrowind: Someone yells NDA stuff, uploads images, streams, the game is over.
- Fourth rule: only invited players can test.
- Fifth rule: one invite at a time, fellas.
- Sixth rule: crying or bashing on pts.
- Seventh rule: NDA will go on as long as they have to.
- And the eighth and final rule: If this is your first invite at Morrowind, you have to play.
