Elsweyr & Update 22 AUA on ESO Subreddit - Today from 1:30-3:00pm EDT

ZOS_GinaBruno

Hi everyone,

To celebrate the launch of Elsweyr and the ESO subreddit hitting over 200k subs, we'll be hosting a special AUA (Ask Us Anything) today until 3:00pm EDT. If you have any questions for the team, you can post them in this thread.

Thanks, and looking forward to seeing you over there!

Thanks, I'm good.

I think the increased player demand is already here...

It says a lot that you're going all out to answer questions on Reddit, but not on your own forums.

Along with it being part of their 200k sub milestone, as mentioned in the post, anyone is able to create an account and join reddit if they want to participate, whereas our forums are gated by the purchase of ESO. Additionally, it's more manageable to hold this type of Q&A session the way reddit is formatted and having multiple people posting.

How do we link our new Reddit account to our ESO UserID or ESO account?

@ZOS_GinaBruno FierceSam's point remains valid though. It doesn't matter if a subreddit reaches 200k if the game's own forums are largely ignored unless there is service interruption or crownstore issues.

As an example, just in case you are not aware, there is a 74 page long thread with 142 agrees + awesomes on the original post (currently), 2.2k replies and 45.8k, going on for half a year now that is asking for a simple (or complicated) explanation on why in Update 21 Bosmer's stealth bonus - the radius, not the damage - was removed without an appropriate replacement that's in line with the game's lore. All this time, nobody has even acknowledged their (/our) concerns and nothing official has been said.
Can they (/we) expect an answer once "better communication" is established? Will we get our very own AUA on reddit once we reach 100 pages? Is there just no official opinion on the matter and that's why nobody from ZOS is saying something?

Edit: Anyway, congratz on reaching 200k subs. It's an accomplishment eitherway.

Thanks for all the advance notice.

Are we to assume that you only just thought of hosting something that ends at 3PM an hour and a half before?
