    Why Assistants unable to ride mounts? I like be able to assign a mount to an assistant if they not have one... I feel so sad they have to run everywhere behind me!

    Makes lots of sense OR they could just ride with us

    Since Cyrodiil is much bigger than any PVE zones out there and has much more player activities going on in it, why couldn't ZOS combine some adjacent zones to make PVE experience better and more open-world? For example, on the DC side, I hope in the future Glenumbra, Stormhaven, Rivenspire and Wrothgar could be combined into a single loading screen free zone, or it could even include Bangkorai.

    Hi there. Just a random guild feature related question - have you ever considered adding a guild alliance feature? Of which a total of guilds can be part of, and share an alliance chat. This would be most useful for pvp and keep takes/defence.

    Howdy Eso Live,

    I am sure this has been mentioned before. But will you ever bring in a buff and bebuff counter? I know there are addons for the PC, but curious about something for PS4 and Xbox? Maybe make it a toggle option but it would be nice to see what buff and debuffs you would have. Personally it could really help you optimize your rotation and not spam abilities that you dont need to.

    Can you fix the xbox one server already? At this point it is just pathetic and you should be crediting crowns for this poor service. Also can you make the elitist auctions houses public? Don't we suffer enough with our Gov.dictatorship? We don't need it in our games as well.

    Just realized we never posted the AUA from our previous show. Sorry about that!

    Shannona: On the character selection screen, it would be so awesome if we could juggle the list of characters, placing our favorite on top. Could you do this?
    We think it’d be awesome too! This is something we were actually discussing very recently, and are working on scoping it out.

    DRXHarbinger: For the next update, you're revamping VDSA. Can we have a weekly leaderboard like we do with VMA?
    Dragonstar Arena is already part of the Weekly Trial rotation, so it will be available as a weekly from time to time. As far as pulling it out as its own leaderboard, that’s something we can look at.

    Davey1107: For characters who change gear sets depending on content we're playing, it can be cumbersome to switch all 14 slots every time. Any chance we might ever get a couple of programmable saved gear configuration slots that would allow us to one click between a couple different setups?
    There is a chance, yes. This is something we’ve discussed implementing, but honestly, just haven’t had the time to get it done yet.

    Ethromelb14_ESO: How significant is the content in the Lore Library? In other words, if I decided to follow the directions or the story lore within a book, would it really lead to a secret location or some sort of treasure that was believed to be a "myth"?
    Often, lore books are just for fun. Mages Guild books do tend to discuss specific details about the zones they’re placed in, and quest books tend to be specific to the quest and will often contain direct clues. Other books tend to be more generic. However, some books have taken on lives of their own. For example, Narsis Dren was originally just a book character, but due to his popularity, he now makes an appearance in an objective in Wrothgar.

    DrEagleTalon: When will we hear about Arenas and Battlegrounds?
    We’ll begin discussing PvP battlegrounds next year.

    Altemriel: Could you please add a small warning message when enchanting special weapons stating that doing so will make the weapon lose its special effect?
    We realize this is an issue, and you have a good idea for a solution. We’re still discussing the best way to handle this, but don’t have any plans solidified at the moment.

    Kaithuzar: Why is the armor "Worm's Rainment” (typically known as "Worm Cult") not available in the Impenetrable trait? Any chance of this being added?
    We generally try to keep impenetrable on PvP gear since adding it to PvE gear makes it harder for everyone to get a specific trait. Impenetrable is now useful for everyone since it takes less durability damage, so we can re-evaluate dropping it in more locations. Additionally, we’ll also consider selling this set with the traveling Cyrodiil vendor.

    DRXHarbinger: Guild store listings - Clothing now has Tannin, and Woodworking now has Resin. Before Dark Brotherhood, this was the other way around. Why?
    This was previously a longstanding bug that we were just recently able to fix in Dark Brotherhood, so what you’re seeing now is actually correct.

    JasminaChillibeaner: Is there any correlation between the difficulty of locks on chests and the quality of loot inside them?
    Yep! You have a better chance of getting a higher-quality item from chests that are more difficult to open.

    Nathan_bri: Will you please give me an option to turn off screen shakes?
    Sure, we can add this to our list of fixes you’d like to see. Thanks for the suggestion!

    Soleil.clercb14_ESO: On console, can you add an option to keep your health, magicka, and stamina bars always on?
    We can, and we will! We’re planning to add this to both console and PC in a future update, potentially early next year.

    DorianDragonRaze: I've heard about costumes dyeing coming soon. That's exciting, but please add a button that resets a costume’s colors to its originals.
    This is a great idea, and something we’ve considered as well. However, this feature is not currently on our roadmap as we have some other items that are a higher priority.

    Kensan62_ESO: Would like to know for One Tamriel with the ability to go to any zone, will we actually be able to ride to each zone or will it just be a lot of wayshrine traveling?
    There are boats that will take you from Alliance to Alliance (i.e. – Vuhkel Guard to Davon’s Watch). Once you’re in an Alliance, you’ll be able to run between zones like you always could.

    TheSpaceWhale: The new blocking indicator breaks makes it difficult to clearly see red circles of death on the ground while in first-person mode. Can we get a "hide indicator" toggle for this effect, or at the very least, revert it to be hidden in first person view?
    We actually will be completely removing this in first person. Thanks for the feedback!

    Izanagi.Xiiib16_ESO: Is it feasible to see dynamic population locks come into place based on the amount of enemy population in Cyrodiil?
    It’s possible, yes, but not something on the priority list. We’re currently focused on One Tamriel, Battlegrounds and Dueling.

    Izanagi.Xiiib16_ESO: Will we ever see the introduction of competition servers for PvP where no buffs are given from scrolls and Emperor, or perhaps a prime time only server?
    We don’t have plans for this currently, though when Battlegrounds hit we think this will scratch that itch…

    The Doom Hound is an awesome looking mount; however, the glowing red eyes look incredibly cheesy, and the howl sounds like a dying cow. Do you guys have any plans to edit this mount? Or at least gives us the capability to make it's eyes normal.

    Please give us a DSA weekly every week. Please. I'd stop complaining over bugs and dashboards to have this. With gold master weapons and jewelery for dsa sets as the rewards. That'll make so many many people happy. (jewelery BoE though, need something to do with duplicate items and footman rings will fetch a hefty price) plus when this is the weekly on XB EU it's actually quite hard to get on anyway, you pretty much need to do it flawless and under and hour to stand a chance. So it'd be great competition.

    Can we have a new title for it too? For a group flawless run.

    My question is in reference to battlegrounds. As it stands in live, magicka Templars are too powerful, and if we were to do battlegrounds the strongest teams will always be the ones that have a full team of magicka Templars. In order to prevent this, and as a safeguard for future class imbalances, may we make it so battlegrounds are made up of teams of four, and each team can only have one of each class? This will prevent battlegrounds from being dominated by the meta, and will inspire players to be efficient with multiple classes.

    Question about deconstruction.
    If I craft a cp160 gear it costs 10xmats of a cp150. When i decon them, i get mostly the same amounts out.
    Why not raise the decon payoff for cp160 items to reflect the vast increase in materials that went in? The price for changing builds is extremely steep since mostly crafteds are boe and so after wearing, you cant sell them.

    Even if it were limited to crafted sets, not drops, it would make sense.

    In terms of Cyro PvP, could there be a way to negate or, at least, greatly reduce points earned during a low population campaign? Certain players tend to nightcap when little to no players are on, giving them the upper hand in the campaign in spite of dominating enemy factions during prime time.

    Given that Dark Age of Camelot and World of Warcraft have influenced many MMOs today, why steer away from what is successful? I'm speaking about the ingame selling of course. World of Warcraft has its auction house and Dark Age of Camelot has its porch merchants. Both of which are on a network that works perfectly. The guild stores in ESO is more of a headache than enjoyment. Having to travel all over the place to find them all. To have a guild store it will cost you anywhere from 100k to over a million gold to rent it for a WEEK. A WEEK! Where is the enjoyment in that?

    Can we have a option in the dye station or barber shop with options for armor to look battle damaged, worn/weathered or even dirty. I think that would be a cool option rather than all of us running around in shiny new armor all the time.
