Here are the PVP related items from today's Reddit AUA with ZOS personnel.

http://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline/comments/2tfb48/welcome_to_the_eso_tamriel_unlimited_aua/?limit=500


1. The PVP Justice System scares them from a balance perspective. If and when it makes it into the game, it will not be part of a paid DLC (ie, it will be free for everyone). They are still working out details on whether or not the Imperial City will be DLC or not. Update 6 will be the last update before the console launch.

2. Performance is (supposedly) their top concern in Cyrodiil. Some fixes are coming in 1.6 and they are looking at several ways to address performance issues.

3. Details will be posted next week about another PTS PVP play test against the ZOS devs.

4. There are no (current) plans to sell armor and weapons in the cash shop.

5. Stats for horses will now be grouped together under a Riding Skill. You will be able to have Max Speed and Max Stamina on any mount and the new stats will be higher than current ones.

6. ZOS is working on ways to incentivize PVP players to work in smaller groups. They have also considered having the Cyrodiil buffs apply only within Cyrodiil.

7. They are evaluating the Imperial City internally and it is not where they want it to be (in quality) yet. From another post, 1.6 will be the last update before the console launch in June so the Imperial City will not arrive until after the consoles launch.

8. The Purge bug is fixed in 1.6. See question #4 and the answer below it.

http://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline/comments/2tfb48/welcome_to_the_eso_tamriel_unlimited_aua/cnyiwy8


9. ZOS is exploring the concept of battlegrounds with specific ESO parameters such as time limits, play-style specific objectives, killing emperors and capturing flags. See the two ZOS responses below this question.

http://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline/comments/2tfb48/welcome_to_the_eso_tamriel_unlimited_aua/cnyi503


10. The Battle Spirit buff will be adding more health and damage reduction. Dark Cloak is also getting a fix.

11. Eric W. will investigate unbreakable (stackable?) Talons. He also mentions Purge is fixed in 1.6.

http://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline/comments/2tfb48/welcome_to_the_eso_tamriel_unlimited_aua/cnyjfxl


12. There will not be any ZOS added visual indicators to distinguish ESO+ players from other players.

http://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline/comments/2tfb48/welcome_to_the_eso_tamriel_unlimited_aua/cnylrgj


13. Block casting is being investigated for a future (post 1.6) fix. Previously announced statements about an increase in AOE caps, changes to Ultimate generation and the Reflective Scales nerf are reiterated.

http://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline/comments/2tfb48/welcome_to_the_eso_tamriel_unlimited_aua/cnyijmk


14. Another confirmation was given about PC players being on separate megaservers than the console players.

http://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline/comments/2tfb48/welcome_to_the_eso_tamriel_unlimited_aua/cnyjdyr


15. Race and alliance changes are being looked into but no promises are being made as to whether those options will actually make it into the game.

http://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline/comments/2tfb48/welcome_to_the_eso_tamriel_unlimited_aua/cnykw19


16. Update 6 will be released before Tamriel Unlimited (March 17).

http://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline/comments/2tfb48/welcome_to_the_eso_tamriel_unlimited_aua/cnyktoe


17. Skills are not balanced to be better than others and new skills are added only to give players more options.

http://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline/comments/2tfb48/welcome_to_the_eso_tamriel_unlimited_aua/cnyl7ae


18. Some Sorceror skills (Daedric Curse, Daedric Mines and Crystal Shards) are getting buffed in 1.6.

http://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline/comments/2tfb48/welcome_to_the_eso_tamriel_unlimited_aua/cnylqz7


19. The Justice System will add a new skill line (Legerdemain). No details were given about what is included in this skill line or if it is included in 1.6.

http://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline/comments/2tfb48/welcome_to_the_eso_tamriel_unlimited_aua/cnym2ee


20. ZOS will investigate adding the +10% AP bonus for ESO+ members.

http://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline/comments/2tfb48/welcome_to_the_eso_tamriel_unlimited_aua/cnymamb


21. ZOS is considering adding the healing power of Critical Surge to the base rank of the skill.

http://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline/comments/2tfb48/welcome_to_the_eso_tamriel_unlimited_aua/cnym22j


22. Secondary effects of (AOE) skills will not apply past the first 6 targets. Also, Venom Arrow will not apply a DOT if the target is blocking in order to make it consistent with Blood Craze.

http://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline/comments/2tfb48/welcome_to_the_eso_tamriel_unlimited_aua/cnymj9m


23. The Sharpened weapon trait is going to be nerfed/fixed. Impenetrable will change to give a reduction in critical damage instead of a reduction in the chance to receive critical damage. Some tweaks to the Stealth eye are coming as well in 1.6.

http://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline/comments/2tfb48/welcome_to_the_eso_tamriel_unlimited_aua/cnymfex


24. Cash shop costumes can be worn in Cyrodiil.

    Thanks for the summary. Could you please find the source (or official response)about this ? It's logical but disappointing

    Restoration is a perfectly valid school of magic, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! - Spells and incantations for those with the talent to cast them!

    I find it odd that 1.6 would be the last update before console launch. Why would they release the console version with veteran ranks in game and then promptly remove them in the next patch.

    I only recall hearing that 1.6 will be the last update before the P2W release in march, not the console launch in june.

    I'm trying to figure out if there is a reason that when someone asks about block casting, they tend to then talk about raising the AOE caps. Trying to see the connection.

    Is it to say that now with casting AOEs being more effective, we dfintiely want to get rid of being able to block while casting it? Or is it just totally random as an aside?

    This is probably the biggest and most important change noted in this AMA.

    The idea is that since many more AoE skills are blockable, you will run out of stamina really fast if you spam block during large fights. I think this logic is sound. However, we will need to test to find out.

    Not sure this is something to be happy about though. TTK is already ridiculously low if you don't use Reflective Scales or stack shields as it is. With crits back in the picture sneak ganker and reflect/shield stacker will be the only viable play styles and everyone else will just go splash in 2 seconds.
