    Since this will occur exactly 30 days since you confirmed a Q&A about what on earth is going on in the U35 combat changes was still coming, will this ESO Live include any update about that?

    I don't understand the need for a Q&A. It is pretty obvious why they made the changes, all that will happen is just more discontent from those who don't like it, anything they say won't change your minds.

    @casparian The livestream will be about exactly what was mentioned in the article. It will specifically focus on U36 and Firesong.

    As for the Q&A, no new updates beyond what we have shared during the PTS cycle and live patch notes. We'll update if there is any additional information to share regarding the Q&A.

    Why not just say that the Q&A was canceled?

    Can't wait to see what new and exciting nerfs are headed our way! Maybe we'll be going into a dodge roll tank meta, as they weren't messed with last patch. For real though, where's our Q&A, as we would like to know why u35 exists to begin with. #Apoormagden

    I wouldn’t put too much stock in what we see on the stream or on what hits the PTS in week one. They’ve demonstrated that the vision and it’s manifestation can and will change from week to week. Probably best to reserve judgment until we see what actually makes it to Live.

    The live stream of the update always focuses on content and ignores balance changes. If what you're after is to see the new zone then great.

    but if you want to know if frost wardens are still terrible then you'll need to wait for the patch notes

    exciting, 2 new dungeons and a few new sets and items that kick the balance even further down the road

    Don't forget! We will also be getting some new, gamebreaking sets you can only get in the new DLC zone. They will only nerf that some weeks after go live. <3

    If you read the post you linked to you will notice that they are going to answer 'commonly asked core questions' so if you imagine it will be some sort of live stream where eager players can yelp 'but but but what about what about what about....'

    I think not. Just a prepared list of simple statements as has happened before.

    So....

    No promised Q&A then? No meaningful response at all?
    Not even an acknowledgement of "yeah sure we said we would, but whatever. we changed our minds. live with it"

    Nothing?

    :/

    Community has questions about the direction, the changes of late, @ZOS_Kevin
    Concerns and such.

    MMOs need their communities.

    Because ZOS would be admitting that they either lied about it to calm people down or they realized that they couldn't answer any relevant questions.

    I suspect that it's both/and, not an either/or.

    Not interested.
    My dps went so low that my beloved Templar is in Crafting mode.

    Besides they say 1 thing and do another, so. No thanks.

    I was hoping for weapon plaques, armor mannequins, backpacks for the outfit system stuff like that. The base game improvements have been lackluster lately.

    It's ironic because even coming up with a flimsy Q&A would be less damaging to a corporate reputation than saying you'll do one thing, but failing to deliver. It's also curious how they washed their hands of it by open ending it and saying they'd let us know if there were any "updates" on the Q&A for U35.... which has already been replaced by U36.

    Failure to take ownership of actions does nothing to endear a community to service providers.
