Eric will not be discussing ability changes

So he's going to discuss everything we already know about just from reading the patch notes and going on PTS, but wont discuss why changes were or were not made to certain skills? Whats the point then?

As mentioned before, the team is still actively making changes and adjustments based on data and feedback they're getting. That said, we're discussing potentially having him back on the show in a couple weeks to specifically discuss some class and ability changes before they go live.

In the meantime, be sure to check out this thread if you haven't already which explains the reasoning behind a lot of the gameplay changes: http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/262647/dark-brotherhood-combat-changes#latest

he is the lead combat designer, why is he shying away from combat questions?

thats like ignoring the elephant in the room

LadyNalcarya · May 2016

I would like to hear some comments on nerf feedback, and on this issue.

swirve · May 2016

Id like to know more about timers for console players...this just seems like a big miss for this game given we have all manner of buffs and DoTs which are not easy to see when stacked or lots of visual effects are happening.

A DPS and HPS parse would be great as well for those want to try and improve.

zerosingularity · May 2016

I'd like some mention of what plans there are to buff bad items like Maelstrom 1-hander (tank weapon) and several under-performing sets (looking at you half the available crafting items!)

And I want him to talk about housing! Because I want housing!

The Combat Lead title is more than it sounds like. He touches a lot of stuff. His team is involved with a lot more than classes and skills. With the replacement of Veteran Ranks, you can be sure the combat team was working on itemization, monsters, bosses, enchantments, potions, poisons, and just about everything that is used for, or by, combat.

I would hazard a guess and say that the biggest job for the combat team this update was actually the removal of Veteran Ranks.

Until those changes are finalized what can he say about it? They are still gathering data.

Saucy_Jack · May 2016

Implementation of Daedric artifacts (as rare random loot) that confer powerful unique buffs for a period of time (sort of like a tweaked consumable).

Make them unique - like treasure maps - so you can't stash a bunch away for a rainy day. Or just make it so that as long as you have one in your inventory or are under the effects of one, it's not possible to find or use a second one.

Please please please pretty pretty pretty please!

If Gina wants to be the total queen of Community Management, she should give birth live during the show, and let the commenters pick the baby name!

But, since Gina is sane, she would never do that.

I'm logging in for the DB content, as I'm really interested in that.

Weapon dyes. Bow buffs (for sustained damage). Female characters not being turned into misshapen abominations by new gear and costumes.

then the entire thing is pointless, isnt it?

why not pick the most controversial of the changes and talk about them, rather than avoiding the issue entirely

Seems like, even years since launch, they still know how to inspire my rage

I feel rage if a group of school bullies attack my kid, I feel rage when I see stories on the news of parents who tortured/killed their kids, I feel a bit miffed if changes that I don't agree with are made to a game.

I am actually less interested in DB than I am in base game.

1) I want them to talk about server-side lag, whether the "list management" stuff is on PTS or not. As server lag is getting worse, per my perception, this needs to be something they constantly talk about.
2) I want to know that they are actually going to fix the audio issues. I dread audio issues in this game because apparently it takes them 3-4 months to fix them.

They won't talk about this stuff.

At this point it would be a nice gesture to the community to give us some sort of idea of what exactly theyre doing point by point about lag. Theyve talked about doing behind the scenes things, little tweaks and such. But there hasnt been any sort of acknowledgement of what exactly that means. All we get every once and a while is the occasional "we removed x from Cyrodiil to improve performance" update.

I dont think theyll do it as it would be a constant sticking point every time they wanted to talk about something. People would bring up the list and point at the different things that has been on the list for months and months with no updates.

The technical stuff would probably be over most of our heads unless you work in the field. I dont need to know the details. Just fix it.

Then dont read it?

Fact is theres plenty of people around here that could easily relay these things to the laymens if questions were asked. And as I pointed out it will more than likely NOT happen because it put them between a rock and a hard place.

As someone who does work in the field of high volume / low latency server-side applications I would be very interested to know the details of what they are working on. To each his own though.

Hey guys! It's true, we will be having an ESO Live tomorrow and are working on getting the schedule published on our website. In the meantime, we can just tell you here what you can expect from tomorrow's show:

Our main focus will be on Dark Brotherhood and showcasing some of the new content such as the repeatable quests, delves, world bosses, passive skill line, and more. Zone Lead Greg Roth and Systems Designer Mandi Parker will be joining us for that segment, and will be answering questions along the way.

Afterwards, Eric Wrobel will be on the show, but will be focusing on Veteran Rank removal specifically. He'll be explaining how the system works, how it will affect you and your gear, and answering questions about Veteran Ranks and Champion Points from chat. Eric will not be discussing ability changes - there's just too many to go through in this show without it turning into an all-nighter, and the team is still actively making changes.

Look forward to seeing some of you guys tomorrow!

I see how this is working... The ESO before a DLC talks about the DLC. The ESO after a DLC talks about the DLC. The ESO after that talks about next DLC on the PTS...

I miss the "anything goes" Q&A sessions from ESO Live.

You are forgetting that we on the PC are lucky enough to have the PTS. The console community does not. Besides, I am not done yet with my feedback.
