    For PvP, would you consider allowing people to sign up with another faction for a session at a time? With the proper precautions/limitations to prevent abuse, the possibility of signing up as a mercenary with another faction could help players regulate population imbalances.

    I can really only see the abuse possibilities there. The reason we can't choose certain campaigns with our alts is to prevent spys or double agents.

    Some sad factions have resorted to having a guild mate sign up for a PvP campaign with an alternative character from the enemy team just to grab scrolls.

    The double agent then runs with the scroll towards his actual team and allows them to harvest it.

    This already happens with current restrictions, more leeway will allow more cheating to occur.

    Of course, but I did say "with proper precautions". While I have ideas how I would do that, I'd rather not get sidetracked into technicalities. The only ones who can say anything sensibile about that are the devs.

    Common mistake amongst forum dwellers. When developers say they listen to the players, what they mean is they listen for what experience people want, not our uninformed babbling about how game features should be implemented :D

    CP - When is cap/catch up being implemented? What form is the catch up going to take, from the store or from a mechanic?
    Shields - Are you going to make them critable? Will DoTs work on them? Will there be a stacking cost increase like we seen with dodgeroll?
    PvP campaigns - When we will get a list of what servers have which rule sets and which ones will be CP locked?
    Store - Are you going to sell as a costume other factions IC armors?

    I think we'd rather them pick questions they can actually give good answers to, rather than these non answers. They seem to pick a lot of questions where they can just say "no plans but that's a great idea!" instead of picking questions where they can actually answer them.

    by "good answers" I don't mean "positive" I mean if they pick a question that the answer is definitively no to that's fine, that's still a solid answer to a question rather than "that's a great idea but we don't have plans for that right now" which is a non answer.

    Or really, they could just say "here's a list of questions for which the answer is "no plans right now, maybe in the future" and just run off the questions rather than devoting a few minutes to answering each of those questions individually.

    You view it as a non answer. I view it as a no. For the foreseeable future, a no. That doesn't mean it won't happen. But if they hadn't thought about it, and there are no plans for it- as far as it means to us? A no. That's not a non-answer... it's leaving possibilities for the far future.

    A non answer is a political type answer in my opinion, like when they say something like "I'm glad you asked me that question." Then they go on a rambling discussion of the point and don't say anything. I guess it's a difference in view. I've found them clear and to the point... though it is obvious that they are dodging certain questions and not giving answers on those. But they just don't ask those.

    Hi Randolph. Could you ask ZoS if they're going to put in an option that allows you to switch off player costumes? I could ask myself (again), I suppose, but it seems there's a much better chance of getting an answer if you do it!

    Coldharbour Siege Weapons (on PS4 at least) currently do not display a ring where they are going to hit. This has been mentioned and complained about due to over half the playerbase abusing it and yet it is not being addressed properly. Therefore I wish to know the answer to this directly from Zenimax themselves:

    Was this intentionally designed to be this way or are they truly bugged out and being exploited as a result?

    If it was intentional I want to know why.
    If it was not intentional I wish to know when it will be addressed and fixed.

    Please Zenimax the situation is critical! I am tired of seeing so many of my allies rely on something so dishonorable because frankly I am sick of facepalming and shaking my head in disapproval. What the enemy does is not my concern as it only proves they are weak for using these.
