Ask us anything: Variety Pack 15 is amaze-balls!

PTS Patch Notes 1.2.2 delights me!

Dev Tracker for all the amazing answers!

Some insights provided by the forum mods.
- Stamina builds are being looked into, to be rolled out soon within 1.2.x patches.
- VR Level is confirmed to not be raised in the next content update! Veteran system will be improved in some time.
- Taunts tooltips will be added. 3 taunts from any player within 10 seconds is the maximum.
- Physical / Mobile Authenticators are on the way! Not soon but in the works/plans!
- Templars are getting the love too, so don't be jealous of NB. They're not done with NB yet! And yes, all classes will get the love~ Just Templar will be focused on more.
- Forward camp fixes are hopefully out next patch! Burn them, burn them all!
- Ultimate loss is confirmed to be somewhat intended when you do not gain ultimate for some time. Hopefully they update the tooltips.

After 2 and a half months they finally just today acknowledged that they are working on a fix to the current magicka > stamina imbalance plus addressing the light > medium & heavy armor situation.

Blew me away to be honest, but I'll wait n see how they actually fix before I get too excited.

I prefer my developers to be aloof and out of contact. It comforts me to know, or should I say think that the incessant bitching about everything falls on dead ears.

I enjoy the mods stepping up more though. This town needs sheriffs.

Damn I just read on one of this note that other mounts than horses are coming ! Great !

Indeed , this kind of thing should have been going on since the first day , it is a start , i hope they keep this up and even make it better with time.

Still , i will probably not be here to see it , if anything , hearing things like:

Barrier is currently heavily preferred by healers over Rite of Passage. Have you considered making changes to Rite of Passage to make it more appealing, such as increasing the AoE cap for it? – From ESO TwitchTV livestream

In coming patches, Rite of Passage will make you immune to crowd control while channeling. We’ve also resolved a bug that prevented it from benefiting from the Focused Healing passive. We think it’s cool that PvP abilities are more effective if you are in a huge group, while others are better for hit squads. That said, we will keep an eye on Rite of Passage and make sure it’s filling the intended role

I do occasionally group up with a friend to do quests and the like, but very rarely more than that. From what I can see of Craglorn, everything is group based. While I am happy to see that content come out for the game's longevity, I probably won't see it. Will there be any Veteran content in the future that does not rely on being grouped? – John Adams-Wade

Yes. We’ll continue to add content in the game for all types of players. We may concentrate in the immediate future on “new” content which is four-player or twelve-player group based, but we will have lots of features coming in which benefit all players, including having more varied activities.

Just make me want to quit even more heh , im a templar and a solo player , which apparently means i should lock myself into PvP since my healer ult is meant to work there and i can only get PvP there for vets11/12 by myself.

Then again , maybe in a few months who knows.

Don't like the poll.

I entered No, not because I am unhappy with them telling us things, more because I don't think they tell us enough and I don't think many peoples concerns are answered in a timely manner on here.

Saying the mods are more responsive than ever is totally true, but previously they were hardly responsive at all so while it's a nice improvement, it still has a LONG way to go.

And I think the forum design of the dev tracker part is the worst designed part of the forum/site.

I understand the devs have to be careful about what they promise (nothing gets people angrier than being told xyz is coming and it doesn't appear) , at the same time it can (and usually does with ESO) go to far in the opposite direction where their responses are really vague

To give one example, not meaning to take it off topic, just showing how a lack of info can affect players.

The devs said "the Veteran system is something we're looking at improving, but please understand that it will take some time."

Sure it takes time, but it would be nice to know what devs are thinking of doing, what the possible ideas are etc.

My guild members have all been very very positive towards ESO but in the past few weeks, those players reaching vet have started to be very vocal about no longer enjoying their experience, these are players that have adored this game and up until this point, never said a word against it.

If I knew what the changes were likely to be, I would probably park up my main (except for PvP) and play an alt instead, waiting for the vet changes to arrive, then go back to my main. But not having a clue what will be coming, or any time scale (within 3 months, within a year, some clue would be nice) do I simply just farm Craglorn for vet xp so that I can get to Vet 12 for PvP, or do I simply wait around for what could be over a year?

Then there's those players who loved questing up to vet level and are simply hating the quest grind so much they are thinking of leaving (one guild member cancelled their sub just yesterday for this reason, they have 50 days left remaining and said if it hadn't improved by then, they are off). The devs response doesn't help these players at all. Give them a clue about the direction and time frame, then they can decide whether to wait around or not. Not telling them just so that Zenimax might get another few months of subs from them until their patience runs out will backfire long term due to bad publicity.

Add to that the fact that many players feel we are paying to beta test a game, and feel the only reason the console versions were delayed was due to the public outcry about the state of the PC ESO on release, it's understandable why so many peoples feelings are running high.

The only game I have played where there has been worse communication has been Lotro
