Q&A with Paul Sage on ESO Live #4

MornaBaine · October 2014

I don't suppose anyone ever does a transcript of the live feed so I can just read over it?

Negatron, it shouldn't be long before someone posts a recording on youtube like last time though.

On an awesome note, a question I posed about vampires and werewolves got asked....and then misdirected and vaguely answered by the waving of Update 5

Some do but it's already on twitch so might not need one. Lets see what I can remember

Update 5 is soon of course, They are adding more and more skills instead of more classes, The AOE cap isn't going away yet from what Paul said basically the server having to do all the calculations of AOE in big zergs is whats making Cyrodill so terrible. As he said the fix is the problem the problem is the fix. Still no Paul Sage Pet

Umm Consoles are still being worked on and apparently have their own UI meaning that everyone who said this game was being held back by console was just talking out their butts. (Like we didn't know that already). Gina is married so quit asking, Jason Leaveys hair has magical powers that he can't tlak about yet. I know there's more but I'm tired.

Just watched the twitch video section with the Q&A with P. Sage; it occured to me while watching it that these things often feel like watching PR leading up to elections; apparently getting the staff to actually choose questions to ask him which are significant to serious issues with the game is not ever part of the deal? It is also very apparent after seeing P. Sage in multiple Q&As now that clear communication is simply not part of his skill set. @ ZoS If you really have nothing ready to say guys, please just don't bother to schedule these things.

A few more things that I remember,

Paul also said that there will be no more char slots in future but he added you never know if things might change someday. No words about housing but they spoke about a council, no clue however what this was all about. It was one of the first Q&A´s, I believe it has something to do with guilds?

Something else was the appearance of vampires. He said they don't have any plans to add an option in regards of "looking like a vampire" but he said that if they do something to turn off the vampire look then by adding a costume. In his opinion its important that others can determine who a vampire is.

@ZoS_PaulSage
Nice to see the update!

Please listen more to users like @Audigy who isn't only interested in easy things but the game as whole. There are quite a lot of us who groups daily in Craglorn when others claims its impossible.

ESO have brought back community, guild intergration. Hell, Several guilds bounded in counsils!

Zonechat (everywhere but Craglorn) is filled which buy/sell, looking for group/2 man-Quest, Assist with Dolems or Develes, Lore discussions and how to pull Kajiits tails!

In 6 months, ESO have brought back a living game that Wow was at first, Eve was before plex and Everquest was untill death (F2P)!

Our small guild is part of a bigger "network" regarding RP - PvP - PvE and something we call "merchants". Players who plays the market!

I can not speak for the community, but I DO speak for our guild, who has Scandinavians, Germans, Dutch, French, Romanians, Greeks To Australians and some nuts Americans.

We bloody love the game and everything with it.

Keep it up! Everything so far has been worth waiting for!

I have yet to figure out why it's "important" for every single player in the game to be able to tell which players are vampires when not a single flaming NPC INCLUDING other vampires has even the vaguest clue that your character is a vampire. I really don't understand why this is important even in PvP. The abilities you use will give you away but it's no more "important" to be able to "see" a vampire than it is to be able to "see" a templar. Templars may wear heavy or light armor and use a variety of weapons or staves. When do you know they are a templar? When you see that freakin' Aedric spear for one. And I don't think you SHOULD know until then. Wasn't the WHOLE POINT of individual builds and the ability to use any armor and weapon precisely so people would not be automatically pigeonholed into the obvious tropes and stereotypes of their class?

I'm also a little disturbed by the way you say he ACTUALLY said there WERE NO PLANS to allow vampires to hide their appearance, one assumes even outside Cyrodil but merely IF they were going to do something like that it'd be a disguise. I'm really annoyed that now I have to go watch this whole damn thing somewhere to find out what he really said because this was present ed to me with a MUCH more positive spin by some other folks and I was happy for all of 5 minutes about this game. Now I need to see if I actually need to go back to wanting to bee-atch slap Sage and crew. SIGH

So could some kind soul PLEASE link me the video? Thank you!

Koensol · October 2014

Do you have any plans to implement other types of PvP or PvP modes in the near future, or will Cyrodiil be the one and only focus?

Tabbycat · October 2014

Thanks to the guy over at reddit for uploading this.

@ZOS_GinaBruno and @ZOS_JasonLeavey are awesome as show hosts. You guys should host every episode!

A question I forgot: When can we expect the free trial? I think we all have some friends or guild members who hesitate to buy the game before being able to test it.

I agree with your statement there!

No thanks. I enjoy a quite nice Goldfarmer free and annoying kids free game.

In What other MMO can you have discussions about Orcs should join the pacts or not in a newbie zone?

ESO is cheap as hell. 15$ a month, including all expansions?
Matt Firor is nuts, but most Pioneers are.

Unless someone didn't notice, how many FIRST TIME MMO players ESO has?

Newbie zone......Isn't Craglorn zone chat kinda of the most childish? :-p
Even Cyrodiil zone chat is quite pleasant. And that's "those PvPers". Their not suppose to be nice.

Wa-wai-wai-wait...
Gina is married?
Oh... Well... Guess it's time to unsub, then...

jelliedsoup · October 2014

If any of these addressed elsewhere, can I get a link?

Is there an intention to make combat more skill based?

Are there plans to adjust 360 blocking?

Remove cast blocking?

And align stamina skills to be as varied and effective as magicka skills?

Only a few were addressed. You can check out the broadcast of ESO Live here on their Twitch.tv page.
