    Silly question... Is the chaos ball a dewmer artifact?

    May I set the chaos ball on a path of destruction in my house? I am thinking of setting up a line of dummies and having it float down the line and doing damage and chaos. :p

    They generally put up a series of news posts on the main site after the reveal stream.

    I once created an amulet in TESIII Morrowind that did that.

    When activated a fiery ball would travel down the street; NPCs and Guards would get the glowing-belly thing for a few seconds as it passed them and then just keel over dead. Really impressive at night as the light from the projectile lit up the things it passed.
    They generally put up a series of news posts on the main site after the reveal stream.

    thanks.

    The progress on the drop seems to have gotten stuck for me, and I also can neither read nor post to chat (but chat is being referred to in the stream, so maybe it’s an issue with the app or my connection).

    I’m looking forward to the new BGs — those are my favorite form of PvP. I wonder why all no CP though? I would expect the competitive mode to have CP enabled.

    Enjoying seeing the new houses and looking forward to the new companions!

    So after a long year wait on a "major pvp update" - in a game which its original main quest and full concept had at its core the pvp scene in Cyrodiil - which to this day remains the best pvp scene ever created, literally begged in every possible way by the players to be improved over the years if not at the same level with the pve stage at least better than what it used to be back in the day - this game's creators not only utterly ignore that entire community but they even push a completely different (and unecessary) mini pvp -battlegrounds update - which to this day is nothing but a vanilla version of what's happening in Cyrodiil. And as far as the update goes all I see is more mixing up pve with pvp rather than paying attention to what is really desired.

    I shan't say that the new update won't be cool, and rewarding and all the paraphernalia all new content is surrounded by - but actual pvpers will end up again in Cyrodiil, again crying their fate and once more being majorly dissapointed by the devs.

    Will let you judge for yourselves the fairness of this all and the crowning failure of an already dissapointing year.

    At this point the only fair thing it remains you to do is to at least come forth and openly state that there's nothing more to be done with Cyrodiil - it's too old, you cannot - it is outdated - it is what it is. At least give us some closure so we can go our merry ways and learn to leave with what we got - because clearly there's nothing more to be gotten in that way other than what is clearly perceived as ignorance.

    At this point I literally beg for closure, cause all hopes are dead. Come forth and let us know that Cyrodiil is done and nothing more beyond trinkets (like the stacked sieges we got earlier this year) and other nonsense of this sort can be "improved" about it - so we no longer beg like idiots for something that's never happening.

    Thank you.

    We'll have recap streams with the same drop available. So there will be other chances to claim it this week.

    Is that a new policy? Because when I asked support a few years back when the Necrom preview drops bugged out for me they told me i should contact Twitch support instead.

    Thank you very much. Is there any detail as to *when* these recap streams might be, or a link to the site that will list them once a list of times is worked out and published?

    I'd like to know this as well. I set a reminder on my calendar, got notified, was at my computer at the right time to watch and then.... I don't know what happened.

    I blacked out or something because suddenly it was Thursday and I was at my computer thinking... Wait a minute, wasn't I about to watch the ESO Twitch stream, what happened?

    Anyhow I'm guessing I got distracted somehow and missed it. 😄

    Will the Update 44 battleground changes make any current BG achievements unobtainable?

    Current BG achievements should all be obtainable with the U44 update. Playing in 8v8 modes will be the best way to get achievements as it has all game modes in there. 4v4 will have a good portion, but some are adjusted for smaller scale combat. We'll have more info in the patch notes next week.

    "Capture BOTH enemy relics within seconds of each other" in Capture the Relic, looks like it will be a problem?

    Unless the enemy team in an 8v8 has TWO relics to capture, to compensate for fighting 2 enemy teams with 1 each.

    Is there any new information on this? I am very interested in the pet but I couldn't watch the stream... :neutral:
