• Were you able to find Dragons in Elsweyr?
  Hard to miss the big Dragon icon on the map. I loved this aspect in fact. That Dragons 'show up' as they please instead of simply spawing in the same place over and over.
• Did you find one at a distance and chase it down, or just stumble upon one?
  Both. Saw one fliying and went after to try to fight it.
• Did you fight in a group or solo?
  Never solo. I fought around 10 dragons, ranged from groups of three full cp players to 10+ players on various level.
  The hardest was the three man group, but one of us was a healer so we managed to bring the beast down. Some instances were the group were 4+ people I was able to survive the entire fight without dying.
  Althought the core mechanics already exists and the fights are incredible fun (I literally jumped when I heard a dragon shout the first time), the level of difficulty should be increased greatly. Not by adding more health, but enhancing current mechs. For example, when a dragon shouts FUS RO DAH, it should push players FAR FAR AWAY even if they block. Currently, my non-dragonborn toon can withstand a might shout, which does not make sense. In the same lines, Dragons should shout more often and shout should be far more deadlier. Add more mechanics where the dragons are just flying and attacking people from far away and less time in groung. C'mon, they've been in the hall of colossus for ages, they want to stretch those wings.
  It would be cool to add an event where sometimes a second, a third dragon would show up to aid the first for example. Thus, a huge amount of players would be require to kill those beasts. Also, dragons could be responsive to the amount of opponents, like Geysers in Summerset, but harder.
  
• What do you think the most dangerous things about Dragons are?
  Flying attacks; Tail and wing swipes; and the fire breaths
• Is this something you’re looking forward to when Elsweyr launches?
  HELL YEAH!
  
• Did the loot from Dragons feel satisfying?
  NO. I didn't get any dragonscale that used 324978623194 slot spaces. Jokes aside, it does feel rewarding. Don't think a open world boss should be able to give greater rewards, since it already does give more rewards than Geyser and Dolmens for example.
  
• What are your thoughts on the new Dragon crafting ingredients, and the new Alchemy effect?
  I notice that there was a new ingredient but did not play around

Yes, by constantly checking the map. An announcement or maybe having the population in the area affected by the dragon being in alert or running away ( and not only the few peeps at the landing site ) might help finding dragons more effectively.

Did you find one at a distance and chase it down, or just stumble upon one?
Both. But mainly chased them with the map when I had nothing else to do.

Did you fight in a group or solo?
Mostly random groups found on-site. I like the fact that they're absolutely not beginner friendly ( and since I don't have a controller on PC, my movements and ability to use the skills in the game are at a beginner level now ).
Tho, I've heard about people soloing them and that, imho, should not happen or should be a very rare exception.

What do you think the most dangerous things about Dragons are?
Adds are deadly.

Is this something you’re looking forward to when Elsweyr launches?
More dragons. 3 spawn location are not enough, 6 like the Summerset geysers feel like a more interesting number.

Did the loot from Dragons feel satisfying?
Did the loot feel varied and useful?
Not really, it's a dolmen level type of drop. Given the fact that they're considerably harder than a dolmen or a geyser, they should drop a little bit more materials / lootable objects. Perhaps even golden items with a good RNG, making people want to continuosly chase them over time, either to loot better objects or to make money.

What are your thoughts on the new Dragon crafting ingredients, and the new Alchemy effect?
Haven't tested them out yet. Coming from console, I don't have access to ESO+ on PTS so I don't have the craft bag and I find myself very limited when it comes down to space available with all the things I would like to test.
The premises are good tho, I'm just wondering if having Minor Heroism easily accessible will create imbalances in the game.

Do you have any other general feedback?
MORE. DRAGONS.
MORE.
DRAGONS.
And better loot, yeah.

• Not that I think this would be an easy change to make or even expect this change to occur, but I do agree with everyone that a sitting dragon is not a fun or epic way to encounter them. I would much prefer it if they remained in the sky until shot down by players. During the "chase the dragon" phase, I think the dragon should often (but not always) swoop down and fly close enough to us that we can reach him with our ranged attacks. Once a single person hits them, they should fly to their predetermined areas (which should be close by) and start murdering. If the player or players engaging in the fight die right away, the dragon should take off in flight again, ready to be chased. I killed approximately 12 dragons yesterday and not once did I encounter one in the sky. I'm not sure if they were bugged, or if the current chase phase is just incredibly short, but after spawning, by the time I mounted and located them, every one of them was already stationary and on the ground.
• Variation. They all seem to have fire attacks, different fire attacks, but all fire. I would like to see different magical elements for different dragons; dragons with frost attacks and frost atronachs, lightening attacks, undead... anything, everything. Just something different than fire.
• As cool as the dragon shouts are (and they are) it sounds like a guy named Bob is voice acting them. What I am saying is, they sound like a dude and not like a Dragon. It's almost comical. I'm sorry. *edit: Upon further research, they only sometimes sound like Bob. Some Dragon shouts sound as dragony as a Dragon can sound.

• How well these fights are tuned. For me, you could not have done a better job of tuning the dragons and their minions, both their health and damage. Even with a max level high CP character and a day of experience with dragons, I was still at risk for lots of dying. These battles are fairly epic and tense with 4 high CP players. With eight or more players of any type, the fight is almost comfortable but not so much that you're phoning it in. I think the length of these fights is perfect. They never felt too short or easy, even with 20 players showing up. What I love so much about content like this is that tanks and healers have a purpose now. A tank that shows up and TANKS the dragon is a hero. The healers are literally saving lives (and repair bills). This is not really true for any other overland content in the game (after more than one or two players show up to something). As someone who desperately wants to play a support role within open/unscheduled dynamic content, these dragon fights suit me like nothing else. I am so happy about this. Please make no significant changes here, especially nerfs.
• The loot. Now, I am biased towards furnishing recipes in general, so take that for what its worth. I landed 2 blue and 3 green Elsweyr furnishing recipes and that's all I could ever want. I do hope that there is a chance at a half digested purple quality satchel, though. Getting a purple Elsweyr furnishing recipe would be a "make my day" kind of drop. I think a chance at a motif drop in one of these bags would be great also. Kind of like the rarity level of the Psijic motifs, I would be happy with a similar rarity level for purple satchels (please say they exist). If you don't plan on droping Elseweyr motifs in this way, please consider a chance at a random motif.
• And, lastly, the fact that dragons in ESO even exist at all and how immersive they feel to fight. I don't think anyone saw this coming, both the dragons and finally giving us the challenging overland content we were looking for. I think you have done such an excellent job with what you set out to do here. Hunting dragons is incredibly addictive. I spent 10 hours doing it with no desire to stop. Sleep didn't matter, how early I needed to get up for work (granted, at home work) didn't matter. Watching Game of Thrones Ep.2 Season 8 before the internet spoiled it for me? That was the only thing that mattered, or I think I would still be playing. I had to stop to watch that, which is kind of fitting isn't it?
• Come to think of it. Game of Thrones is ending just as the Season of Dragons is beginning in ESO. Thank you for replacing some of the void that will occur when the show ends with dragons that I, myself, can fight and loot.
  
  So much fun ahead!
