As far as im aware alot of top level eso players were invited into zenimax, im sure theres loads of information to be learnt from them. However its difficult for us to keep track of all those players and find out what they have to say.

If anyone has any new information about the future of eso as a result of these players going to zenimax, please share id love to know what the future holds for zenimax

    They signed an NDA. You will probably hear little or nothing at all.

    As one of the people that went to Zenimax I just want to remind you and others that we that went are under a strict NDA (a non-disclosure agreement), we can't say anything. So any new info about the game that might have come out of this will be from the devs here on the forums, the main website or on ESO Live.

    About everything discussed or about Morrowind?

    I'm actually much more interested in your feedback and their responses than anything about Morrowind.

    Forever?

    In any event, thanks for taking the time. The more time they spend talking with people who actually know this game, regardless of which particular aspects they prefer to play, the better.

    Not forever, once ZOS lifts the NDA they can talk about it.

    Sypher is the main "face" of ESO streamers, game builds (since Deltia's retirement).

    Everything they spoke about and tested is largely covered under the NDA. The following questions shouldn't be though, but I would probably ping @ZOS_GinaBruno for clarification first:

    - How was the stay and what kind of accomadations were made?
    - Did you work with the QA team and what kind of crossknowledge sharing occurred in regards to testing?
    - What kind of information were they looking for from you guys, in a relatively vague sense?
    - Did you converse and work with any other departments than QA/Combat/PVP/Dungeon Design?
    - What is the overall takeaway? Lukewarm, excited, skeptical?

    I think ZOS needs to answer a few questions here as the streamers are bound and gagged under the NDA.

    Questions for @ZOS_GinaBruno
    • How many people were asked to come to ZOS and by what criteria were they chosen?
    • How long till they NDA will be COMPLETELY lifted so they can talk about their experiences?
    • It parts or all of it will NEVER be lifted please state so.
    • Is there anything they can talk about before the NDA is lifted? See @usmcjdking questions above, if so please specify.

    I feel the ESO community should be given a date on which the NDA can be lifted so we can discuss the protocol of this meeting and how much actual influence this group had on gameplay and design.

    They answered alot of your questions on the live stream friday. They played battlegrounds and trials and morrowind and thte dungeon and got to test and play warden. It was said. Also sypher and fengrush said that they really listened to feedback and sometimes they changed things right there on the spot in front of them. I dont remember everything but if your curious go watch the past broadcasts on bethesda's twitch. Pay attention to those dev trackers. They will help you find important announcements and information.

    I dont think they NEED to do anything, they didnt have to bring anyone in, or tell anyone about it.

    If they tell someone what they saw there that will be their family members and good friends! They will definitely won't break NDA for some random forum person.

    We can answer a lot of the more vague/non specifics after the embargo is lifted. We won't be able to ever(?) talk about specifics and stuff, but the questions asked by @usmcjdking would likely be able to be answered.

    Overall the experience was amazing, there was a lot of learning for both us and the teams we worked with. Nothing was combative in terms of arguing/etc, and everyone's voice was heard equally between the testers and the devs. I'd love to say more and dispel a lot of the negative/hostile view towards this testing that the playerbase seems to assume, because 90% of the nonsense spewed in the forums saying that it was a wrong decision is highly mislead. The game (and all the players) WILL benefit greatly from what took place, for all aspects of the game.

    He's definitely harsh about it. But...

    1) They deserve it
    2) That's just who he is

    Oh I mostly agree with him on those past rants (I think from a year ago)
    Took a break, and now I am back.

    Lots everyone complained about are still present today. Good to see a year just brings content :disappointed:

    A lot of us love the game so much that we become incredibly frustrated when we're in our own little worlds. A lot of that is personality for being a content creator too; in reality everyone is much more level headed, and we all really had fun when we were together. I went there with a lot of my own biased opinions based on hearing about some people, and I was really blown away by how genuine everyone was. It's easy to see someone at their worst and assume they're like that.
