✭✭✭✭✭So many more questions since that Q&A...any chance we could squeeze in one more?
Like, what state will Cyrodiil in Scalebreaker be arriving in on console? The currently broken state of PC NA and EU?0 -

@ZOS_GinaBruno I have a question regarding the Q&A itself rather than a question for it: In the future, if the devs want to do a Q&A following major gameplay changes on the PTS, would it be possible to have that Q&A at the beginning of the PTS cycle rather than at the very end of it (or like this case, after it goes live)?
Since the PTS cycle begins on a Monday, would it be possible to have an ESO Live/Q&A the following Friday of week 1 of the PTS?7 -

The original idea was to have them do the Q&A on ESO Live, but everyone was either sick or out of the office so we quickly got this written Q&A out instead; this one in particular wasn't pre-planned.
Generally, we prefer not doing a Q&A early in the PTS cycle as there are typically several adjustments made throughout the testing period. That's not to say we couldn't do one in the middle of the cycle, though, as long as it lines up with everyone's schedules.10 -

Instead of asking in ESO Live, posting Questions & Answers seems to be much better as almost everyone can catch post anytime.Edited by Lord_Eomer on August 22, 2019 5:39PM8 -

I believe you are asking to have the Q&A at the beginning to see if we could get an idea on the direction the combat is going to go and why for this patch right? If so it seems like a pretty good idea to address those things so we as players can start to get our heads around what we could be building and why with the next patch.3 -

I think the biggest point of confusion players had this PTS cycle when looking at some of the changes was: "Why?". Most of the changes were understood from the brief dev notes included in the patch notes, but for some of the other major changes many of us were left wondering which direction the combat team was wanting to take the game. Since we weren't entirely sure of the reasons for the changes or the direction that combat was being taken, it made things a little more difficult to test on the PTS since we didn't know what specifically to test for. So say if the combat team had done an ESO Live or written Q&A at the beginning of the PTS cycle where they came out and said "Hey guys, these are the major changes we made, these are the reasons for doing it, and this is the direction we would like to head" it would allow us as the players to see the bigger picture and to take that into consideration when testing things on the PTS.ZOS_GinaBruno wrote: »Generally, we prefer not doing a Q&A early in the PTS cycle as there are typically several adjustments made throughout the testing period.

is that why there's been delays in getting info to us? Everyone was sick or out of the office? It'd be good to know why, because right now it feels inexcusable.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭So...console will launch Scalebreaker with lots of disconnects? Since there's no answer to that question, that's what I'd assume.2 -
pod88kk✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭Are there any plans to update the current 'buff tracking' UI to also include single target and ground based dots and hots? Seeing as the 'meta' going forward for end game pve and pvp seems to be very dot heavy it would be great to be able to keep track on up times and when certain skills need refreshing.
Yes I am a console player and don't have access to Combat Metrics0 -

✭✭I for one don’t care about the answers to the questions at all. So far Scalebreaker is “Best Patch EVER!”
My MagDk is so good right now I don’t even mind the DC’s in Cyro. I’ll just duel until they fix it. Lol.
Combat team I’m on board! @Gilliamtherogue etc THANKS! Keep up the good work!
Note: And I’m DEAD SERIOUS! Best Patch Ever!Edited by JumpmanLane on August 23, 2019 12:26AM2 -
