    @ZOS_GinaBruno‌

    Please:

    1.) Close the previous thread from the ESO Lives from forever ago. A lot of those posts are no longer relevant. Stacking new issues on top only confuses issues.

    2.) Sticky this thread to the top, so its easy to find.

    3.) Close this thread, with a post, whenever you are finished getting questions for the current show. (Say, an hour/day before?)

    4.) Immediately start a new stickied and dev tracker thread, with the header "ESO Live- Questions for show on (whatever planned date)". Then, people can throw questions generated by the current show into that thread, as well as any new topics that come up.

    Thanks for considering.

    I have one for Ed.

    Players are constantly cancelling animations to increase DPS. How does that make him feel?

    In PVP, two classes are able to use an exploit to get themselves on top of a keep. The dragon knights who use the dragon leap ultimate can launch themselves at a target on a wall of a keep and sorcerors are able to use bolt escape to launch themselves onto a keeps walls. This can happen when an object is close to and either higher or the same height of the wall. I'm told they use the lag in Cyrodiil to help with teleporting them onto the walls. Either way a team of sorcerors and dragon knights can easily take a keep without damaging the walls if they wanted. Both technique's need to be checked out to prevent unfair exploitation. Best advice, lessen the range of both abilities and possibly make it so you can't use bolt escape in mid-air.

    I have a question for Ed. I asked it in the other giant thread, but I'm afraid it got drowned out...

    Do we poor mac users have a potential release date for the updated facial animations? I've been looking forward to it so much! Any chance they'll be included in the gargantuan 1.6?

    Thanks for your time!

    Is the Imperial Shield blocking animation getting fixed in update 6?
    Right now, with any style of armor, the gauntlet goes through the shield and is visible while blocking.

    Not sure I'll be around tomorrow so asking ahead here:

    Are there any plans to update some of the basic game play options to include things that add-ons add but (some of us feel) really should be part of the basic package?

    Examples:

    (*)Time stamps!
    (*)More customization for unit frames to show more information/change appearance to better suit an MMO
    (*)Ability to re-size chat frames further to fit different screens/layout preferences
    (*)Ability to have a marker beside a recipe or motif to see if we know it without having to hover on it and wait for the tool tip?
    (*)Ultimate Power Tracking
    (*)Tracking research recipes
    (*)Increased information in combat text

    I apologize if some of these are already implemented - I have my add-ons on and have not wanted to turn them off because they lose settings too often xD

    Adding a second question:

    Any plans to add the ability to dye costumes? I love the epic gold suit I got in the mail but would love it more if I could make it baby pink.

    While character animations are getting an overhaul in update 6, are the horse animations getting improved?

    Currently when you upgrade their speed their animation just kind of speeds up rather than them taking bigger, more powerful strides. Can't wait for update 6, you guys are awesome!

    On the Justice System, when you murder an NPC, will they be dead for only you or others as well? And when they're dead, are they dead forever, or only for a certain amount of time?

    Pretty sure you know this.. but.. you do know that at level 20 the storage horse gets bags, which grow. And the speed horse and the endurance horse get some kind of.. (barding?) decorations specific to the type of level up.

    1: So first of all, how do you guys make the animations? Do you handcraft the rigs and manually do them or do you use motion capture shoots?

    2: I love how a lot of the combat animations/stances are getting changed to improve the gameplay, but will other animations be changed? I am specifically thinking of the running animation without a weapon at the ready (it is on your back) and it looks very weird.

    3: I have heard others describe the combat is floaty. What exactly does that mean, and how do you plan to fix it?

    P.S. For question 2, I think the reason that the running animation looks weird is that the character is kind of leaning forward and not moving up and down at all. The upper body seems not to move at all while sprinting. Maybe this is it?

    Has it been considered to add in to the provisioning craft the ability to learn a recipe by researching found food if you are a master chef turning out complex creations with amazing effects perhaps you might be able to reverse engineer how a food item you find or loot was created. no?

    Hey! Thank you for doing these regularly. They are not only informative but really fun as well! ;)
    These questions and concerns are taken from our guild discussions. Pick what you like, Gina or Jess.

    About 1.6:

    1. Are you concerned that over time everybody will be able to unlock all passives thus removing the choice and the difference between player characters?

    2. Certain passives, such as Plentiful Harvest seem underwhelming. It is already quite easy to gather/buy materials. Crafting writ rewards also add to the already sufficient amount of materials. Another skill is that boosts horse stamina - people are only creating "stamina horses" for the look already. Why would anyone invest points into such skills in the current state of the game? Or is there something planned that would change these?

    3. Having so many "niche passives" are you concerned that people will stick to "cookie-cutter" builds for maximizing actual combat effectiveness for trials and PvP and in the same time drastically reducing build diversity? (The picture of Rawl'Ka with a hundred robed staff-wielding mages still haunts me...)

    4. Do you have any specific plans ensuring a balance between stamina and magicka builds? Having class skill morphs that allow stamina scaling is a step in the right direction. However, seeing most niche passives in stamina constellations, having stamina used for blocking and rolls appears to work against it.

    Quality of life changes, newcomer improvements:

    5. Are there any plans making taunt always effective, reducing taunt immunity duration or at least making the presence of taunt immunity and its duration absolutely clear on UI? (The last one would be especially helpful for newcomers as the loading screen hint is easy to miss.)

    6. A similar one: could you please add a built-in UI element for tracking buffs and debuffs? (Yes, there are addons but they also tend to negatively affect performance and "bug out" sometimes.)

    7. Can we have usable bank, store and inventory UI with multiple filters? Pleeeeaaase. o:)

    PvP:

    8. Can we get PVP ranks available through UI? For example at nameplates or besides faction insignias.

    9. Can we also get a chance to participate in friendly duels with the members of our own faction when the Justice system's PvP part is released?

    Racial balance:

    10. Could you take a look at Bosmer and Argonian racials (probably also on Orsimer) and make them more useful?

    Immersion and roleplay:

    10. Is there any plan on filling empty spaces in the world and adding more "life" in the form of children, interactive objects, outhouses, brothels, farms, housing, games etc? (Games such as: gambling, shooting range with moving targets etc.)

    11.
    "Please don't nerf dunmer DKs."
    "Please nerf DKs. And dunmers and khajiit too."

    So, could we get a slap emote? Or a buttkick?

    Merchandise:
    12. I find in unlilkely but a request: is there a way to allow us to buy a miniature of our own character?

    Thank you for taking your time and keep up the good work! ;)

    (PS.: Sorry for typos, it is 4 am in the morning here *yawn*)

    So if certain skills in class skill lines will have stamina morphs in update 6, will they replace one of the two morphs currently there? Or will there be a total of three morphs for these skills? also, will there be plans to add more stamina morphs to the class skill lines later on so that all class skills have stamina morphs?
