Loved that you hosted a Loremaster's Archive related to the Deadlands!

Would you be willing to host these more regularly, perhaps quarterly? The lore/roleplay community would love to see more questions and answers related to various topics, I think.

This! We appreciate the work that Leamon and others put towards the backstory of the content we are playing.

How does Mehrunes Dagon feel about yarn?

Is he a 'bat it about with your paws' sort of guy or is he more into crochet?

Yours with paws
Santie Claws

Sheggorath will gladly steal your yarn and tie you up in knots with it, if Dagon is not paying attention. Oooh! Butterflies!

Please elaborate on the changes to the vampire mistform ability and consider/discuss alternate changes. There are several suggestions on the forums like; a scaling mitigation level (scaling with vampire level 1-4 with 75% mitigation requiring the highest level of vampirism), thereby limiting it's viability to negate mechanics without more investment and commitment. Or; a streak-like variant similar to the one NPC vampires use in Western Skyrim that would fit the ability it's utility as a disengagement tool.

Please comment on the UI changes to the chat window as it now seems to resemble the console UI when playing with a controller. Some players prefer the PC UI when a keyboard is connected and some enjoy the "new" look and feel of a fully integrated console-like experience.
Can we have the option to use either the PC or the (new) console version respectively, regardless of peripherals.

I noticed that Stackable Treasure Maps were missing from the PTS Update 32 Patch Notes.

When will this be corrected?

CE_Nex · September 2021

In Fargrave, some of the Vanquished were said to have served a Daedric Prince that is now gone and forgotten. Is this a reference to Jyggalag? Did Jyggalag have clans of Dremora serve under him?

Lucents, Welkynd stones, and Vakka stones - all meteoric glass. Are they distinct types or just the same thing by different names?

Hi, so in 2016 ESO got HDR support on Playstation Pro, then Xbox followed and they recently got second, better HDR mode... yet eversince on PC we still haven't got HDR...
Please, could you tell us when to expect it, finally?
Is it with this update? Pr is it already in-game just inactive?
I have noticed usersettings.ini got HDR setting but it doesn't work...
Thank you!
Oh and second questionish, I miss monthly performance progress updates...
How's cold storage, npc repathing, server upgrade coming along, what other improvements are you planning?
Bonus: have you yet considered allowing group mounts for companions? Or giant housing statues/guests of life sized daedric princes? As big as Molag Bal or Dagon or Hircine...

Is there any lore on Dagon's Axe that he is always wielding and can we get any history on it? Would Dagon actually use it as a Guitar?

With the armory system basically letting us change our builds completely now, moreso then what any addon could do, will Class Change tokens be finally considered? We have a token for everything else, alliance of all things, and for people who have a main they have done and completed everything on, changing their build around with this system is one thing, but a class change token to come out at the same time, or afterwords, would go so well with it. Having made a character of the class I want my main to be, but just a 1:1 clone over a simple alt that's not used for overall completion, while was more fun and all, was not my main still

Is the Markyn Ring of Majesty going to get a touch up damage wise, or will you allow it to count Monster Helmet Sets as well. I just feel like the Markyn Ring of Majesty doesn’t feel “Mythic” Enough if you catch my meaning.

What kind of player behavior lead you to add the "joining encounter" functionality to old existing dungeon, and are their any other concerns you wish to address in activity finder in the future? Will dungeons that have unskippable dialogue that you need to progress the quest now auto-complete that quest stage when pulled into the encounter?

TheImperfect · September 2021

Are Tsaesci or akaviri vampires different to the Lamae Bal type and in what way?

ZOS_Kevin · September 2021

Hi All! Just wanted to post a reminder that today is the last day to get questions in for the post-show Q&A. As a reminder, the Post Show Q&A with ESO's Creative Director, focusing on the Deadlands DLC and Update 32. Questions can be about what you've played on the PTS, read on the forums or other community sites, or seen on various livestreams.

Thanks everyone, and we look forward to your questions!

Cillion3117 · September 2021

If costumes can be linked to a build in the armory system, will we be able to link different mounts to the builds also?

Dragonlord573 · September 2021

What is the intended way to complete veteran hardmode rockgrove? Because you removed dodging the damage done and are now nerfing every vampire because you haven't explained what we're supposed to do.

Questions!

In the Deadlands main quest, Rynkyus claimed Daedra "know little of fear."

Yet Spirit of the Daedra, a lorebook that has been in TES since Battlespire, claims "We feel pain, and fear it. We feel shame, and fear it. We feel loss, and fear it. We hate the Darkness, and fear it. ... The Dremora have deep thoughts, and must master fear to overcome it."

Is Rynkyus lying or wrong? Shouldn't his dialogue be updated to reflect established lore, since he has no motive to mislead or lie to the player, and seems to speak genuinely? Is Spirit of the Daedra wrong?

Also...

Does Blackwood plan on making Daedra tolerance laws? Since the citizens seem more than happy to celebrate with a bunch of unbound Oblivionites strutting around Leyawiin Castle in the quest finale...

Rykoth · September 2021

More or less a question regarding the armory.... while SWAPPING between builds is free, does one still have to spend the coin to respec and *make* the builds first to save them or is there a way to make the build in the armor system itself?

Aertew · September 2021

In the beggining of blackwood there was a problem with people camping at the final boss of the portals as well as mobs being already dead by the time you enter it. Is there plans to fix that so that whenever a player enters a portal the mobs respawn and so that people can't simply wait for the final boss to respawn but leave the deadlands and find another portal?

Will the new companion be romanceable?

arun_rajputb16_ESO · September 2021

How will hirelings work with the armoury? I.e. if one of my armoury slots has hirelings and another one doesn't, do I have to make the hireling slot active to get the loot?

ZOS_GinaBruno · September 2021

Thanks for all the questions, everyone! We're going to lock this thread and work on choosing which questions to ask during the post-show Q&A this Friday. See you all then!
