Hype! Paul said skeevers won't be able to kill you as easy as now in VR and you'll generally feel more powerful!

They already did that?

Sorry, I in fact wasn't very clear
What he said was that since you were able to kill molag bal, you shouldn't die against skeevers. They aren't going to nerf, just balance.

English is not my main language

Great, we will get mage pets

Anyone to summarize it?

I will try:

Spellcrafting:

The system comes in two different ways.

1. Find

We will be able to find hidden tombs / locations all around the world, these will inhabit old tablets.

These tablets are in different magic schools like conjuring, destruction, alteration ...

These tablets come in different pieces and need to be collected until a spell can be learned (we copy it by rubbing a "pen" over paper --> it then goes into a specific spell book).

2. Craft

Once we completed a tablet and learned a new spell, we can alter the spell. For instance,

we can make the pet from the conjuring school our regular pet, they showed flame atronarch and a wolf.

We can also turn a lightning bolt into an AOE spell and much more. We can alter every spell in three ways out of 7 I believe.

Champion System:

It works like at WS or Skyrim. We gain points and can invest those into several "zodiacs". These will give us passive boni like more damage, more gold from chests etc.

It will come in 4 phases,

the first was the VR nerf. They said that everything you do in the game will grant you points and they are account wide for all chars.

Tier gear:

They said we will get tiered gear, so that new updates will inhabit new dungeons or AV´s and those drop superior gear and the old gear might become available for gold or even free so that people don't need to lack behind.

No word about crafting though and if they also update this.

Justice System:

By stealing from NPC´s or chests, you gain items that are sellable outside of town. You can also kill NPC´s. By doing all this you get a bounty, that bounty can be collected by guards and players who become guards.

No word yet if a player actually gets the gold then if he finds a thief.


New AV:

A new AV is coming, its in Argonian style. They also add a new NPC race and several new monsters like a fire - spider - turtle. Most likely group only. Lots of green stuff and animated plants and water. Looked nice!

New SOLO ZONE Wrothgar:

Frost orc zone, included dungeons, new sets and items and mobs. Very Nordic driven environment, similar to Skyrim zones.

Combat
-More weapon and armors (glass armor showed), pve guild armor (dark brotherood and thieves guild armor showed, undaunted too), armors of style of factions
-MONSTER HUNTER (the video game series) style armors! You will be able to wear armors made from bosses! They showed an helmet made from a daedroth

new adventure zones.. too much to say, sorry xD

and female giants too.

Anything about weapon skill buffs so they and stamina builds are a desirable option over class skills and magicka?

I need to pass there, I did not see it from the first minute

They said however they will work on the mechanics so that stamina abilities are more responsive.

Barber shop & customization will come, but when and how is still open. Maybe its based on player interaction they said.

So can you, or can you not steal from players?

They didn't say anything about pickpocket, sorry

About spellcrafting, they'll add a spell that restores stamina. So a magicka to stamina conversion basically.. But no spells that uses stamina.

Thank you kindly for the summary.

It's storming here, so I couldn't keep a stable connection to watch the stream myself.
Hope they get it uploaded as a video soon.

The change for responsiveness is that the game will cache both of your skill bar setups (wep + skills), so that when you swap, it doesn't have to get the info from the server to repopulate your skillbar - which is apparently what it's doing currently?

yeah in another interview they said what basically happens, is when you switch bars, it recalculates your character/ char sheet with all the spells, glyphs, passives, traits etc. that you switch to They are going to cache it in patch 3, so switching will be instant, because it will be precalculated.

Is there any way to view it? I missed it

That was bloody impressive.

I just got through the BSC days with Camelot Unchained (I am a backer) and it was fun as hell and made me happy to invest in it. I took a break from ESO but this preview of content for ESO has made me very happy for the game I am playing now!

Keep up the great work ZoS! Putting serious emphasis on emergent gameplay is the right direction. I also hope to see far fewer level cap raises. The more we have to do, the less we care about levels.
