QUESTION: Can you give us anything on update 7 and/or the next Dlc?

ncathlineb14_ESO · March 2015

When can we expect to FINALLY see some additional character slot? One would assume they'd be an item on the Crown Store. 8 slots is simply not enough.

LonePirate · March 2015

This should be an interesting episode. The potential exists for it to soar; but it could also stumble. Should be fun either way.

FoxPT · March 2015

Any prevision on new content for solo players and the continuation of the story?

Question: Will you be announcing new content?

Question: Cyrodiil lag?

Greywolf_McGrowler · March 2015

When the Beta comes out for the consoles will those that registered for the beta last year have to re-register for the beta again?

Will there be a digital version to download off of the microsoft or playstation store? If so will there be an imperial edition available to download as well?

Also will it be available to download before launch so that we can play when the servers go live?

Will we be able to buy ESO plus from the microsoft or playstation store?

Are crowns universal to your account? In other words if you have 1000 crowns will you have that same balance on the PC or a console?

For example, if you spend let's say 900 on a mount on a console that would leave you 100 crowns left to spend on either PC or the console? Or are crowns just attached to just your account on the PC or just your account on console.

Also is ESO+ attached to your account or just to the PC or console account? What I mean is if you have ESO+ will it apply to your PC and console account if you have both or will you have to buy ESO+ twice if you want it on your PC and console version?

LadyNerevar · March 2015

Here's a question, how do you guys select stuff for the fan showcase? Is there some way we can submit people's awesome art?

bbqwolf13b14_ESO1 · March 2015

When can we get rid of watching peoples artwork on ESO live for more answered questions? We have a website for pictures on the forums let them use it.

Hovering Redguard Heavy Girdle!
Could you check out the vertical height of the Redguard heavy belt buckle (girdle). It is much lower at the higher level armors (such as dwarven ore or higher) causing it to not even be on the belt. Instead its hovering in front of the armor in the groin area of my character which causes it to clip into other parts of the armor especially while moving or just standing with your weapon drawn. This improper height adjustment only affects the redguard heavy girdle at the higher levels.

Also thanks for giving us the ability to change our armor jewels… however…
The Redguard heavy armor jewels do change color now thankfully but they change randomly to a color that is not wanted. Please allow this to be controlled by the tertiary color on our dye system. Since you’ve shown it can change, it should be easy to fix. Also, the heavy redguard helm has a plume that is always black but was able to be (somewhat) changed in the previous version. Is the black plume intended? Also if someone could show me where the third dye is located on the greaves for heavy redguard. There's a perfect location for it in the higher levels which I call the blade-like metal pieces on the sides but it unfortunately is the same color as the primary.

Djeriko · March 2015

On some item set bonuses you often read something like healing taken increased by some percentage. But some like Twilights Embrace 5 set bonus says increased healing received. I want to know if healing taken and healing received are the same and if so why not just have it called healing received on all tool tips to prevent comfusion. The other thing coming to mind is if healing taken means something else needs to happen like a particular ability stealing life. Someone help me this figure out.

Joseph_Nil · March 2015

When can we expect to have access to the first of hopefully many DLCs?

SLy_Kyti · March 2015

Watched the awesome twitch chat yesterday, though I wish Brian could've added a picture of his dog ( that was in the background) to the 2 other selfies....

Here's some follow up:

=== There's a lot of hope for Imperial City this year, are the lag/population issues going to delay the intended release a bit?

=== Will adding future Cyrodiil content be only done through a DLC or will you add things like daily quests, more Alliance resources or potentially; Outposts, in small patches throughout this summer & fall?

===Can you give us any more hints about weaponry your developing for AvA? Elaborate!!

[ This is for the interviewers, spokespersons: Is it possible to tone down the laughing between questions? Its hard to catch what you're saying to each other while your laughing out loud. Note- I love your jocularity and humor, its just hard to convey information amongst a laugh or giggle....also can you look at the camera? Not the laptop or notes? Thanks for listening, hope I didn't come off like a jerk].

TiberiusTryton · March 2015

Question: Some PvPers have already started hosting PvP Arenas without any UI system or game mechanics to support it. We do not have rewards for most, other than sheer pride of killing the enemy. Is it possible to code something as simple as an instance to just allow a certain number of each faction in at a time? Something new in Cyrodiil at all would keep us entertained until further updates.

P.S. I mean new as in new content, not new numbers on siege or weapons... DAT NUMBERS GAME DOE!

EDIT:

Anything ..... AT .... ALL... like anything bro... We keep hearing this and that takes code.... we understand... code... got it... so code it? Hire someone new to code it? We don't care... hell... some of us could code it.. Just don't let us down! We want this game to make it but we are fighting to stay! PvP must have more dynamics to keep us here.... Lose PvPers and you might as well not even be an MMORPG.

Sacadon · March 2015

@SLy_Kyti, definitely going to use this word all day, jocularity.

Would like to get an update on status of fixing the lag in PvP, such as how much longer before you are done researching it.

alduiin · March 2015

QUESTION: Why the meh did u make ult regen light attacks you made melee players cripples and ranged players op talking about pvp here, which we know you guys are not a big fan of....

gimpdrb14_ESO · March 2015

Question, can you talk about if we are ever going to get character re customization and character rename?

ZOS_JessicaFolsom · March 2015

Those are services we very much want to make available -- we see them asked about all the time -- but we don't have specific details or an ETA yet.

Fat_Cat45 · March 2015

Will we get a change to clothier surveys locations because currently 2 of the 3 are completely unable to yield any nirncrux (they are located in lower craglorn). Woodworking also has 1 of its 3 surveys in lower craglorn, making it a 0% chance of nirncrux from those nodes.

This creates an imbalance making blacksmithing writs more favorable to complete than cloth or wood (all 3 blacksmith surveys are upper craglorn, thus a higher chance of nirncrux per survey)

Donum-Dei · March 2015

Greetings...

Question: It will be possible to add a continues light source to enchanted weapons so we can have a light source that do not stop/dim out?

Question: Are you guys will be adding new clothing, medium and heavy armors (meaning different from what we already have in game) in the C.S. so we can buy them and enchant them, and use them with other armors and dye them?

P.s. Thanks.

Grao · March 2015

QUESTIONS:

- Sorcerers, have you forgot our existence? We were promised further changes to this class yet the last three patches came with not a single adjustment to Sorcerer's numbers.

- Light Armor, can you make us less squishy? Supposing Heavy Armor gives you 100 resistances, light armor gives 25 and medium armor gives 75. Why the huge disparity between Light and Medium armors? Why doesn't light armor offer 50 Resistances, Medium 75 and Heavy 100?

- When can we expect trials to offer any significant reward? By now @ZOS must have noticed the drastic decrease of completions for AA, Hel Ra and even SO - That is due to the lack of meaningful rewards for such content completion. We need better gear dropping from AA and Hel Ra and more exp from those activities across the board (Since you are so afraid of exploits make bosses drop significantly more EXP than the mobs in the Trials).

- Originally @ZOS declared acquiring all 3600 CPs should take from one to two years. Those figures don't match with how CPs are awarded at the moment, nor it matches with Zenimax's policy of nerfing every grind spot in the game. Can we expect Champion Points to be made more accessible in the near future or ZoS trully thinks gamers will enjoy a progression that lasts 10 years?

- Justice System, will we ever get to kill each other with PvP Justice or has that idea been scratched? If PvP Justice is implemented will Immortal Guards be nerfed to Mortality?

- New content, will we really have to wait another 3 to 4 months to see any new content added to the game? I know @ZoS didn't like the "Boooooooooooored" post someone posted yesterday, but quite a few of us, old players, are feeling just the same. We have nothing interesting to do in the game having explored everything, completed all Trials, got all the Gear we need, etc... This links to the lack of rewards to completing Trials we are experiencing in Live lately.

Elebeth · March 2015

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_GinaBruno , I actually have a question/problem about previous ESO Live; I was the winner of "Find the Black Cat" event and I'm still not contacted about it whatsoever.
I even contacted support and my question got transferred to appropriate department but I wasn't contacted afterwards and that was over a week now.

technohic · March 2015

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom Are you guys aware of and working on the bugs in Templars Eclips (and morphs) as well as Foused Charge (and morphs) ?

LameoveR · March 2015

ESO Live will begin shortly.

EnOeZ · March 2015

I have tons of questions !

Could NPC Healers actually heal players ? Especially at resources.
Performance scoreboards/rankings (heals, kills, killing blows, damage soaked, etc...) would be great ! Rewarding the PVP grinders is one thing, rewarding the best PVPers is another.
More solo-friendly Cyrodiil plz !! Individual meaningful actions with tools to (aren't we supposed to be heroes and saviors anyway ?)
- report (spy)
- coordinate for raid leaders (meet/join/avoid)
- ropes, tunnels, etc... to get in and open castles from the inside... anything that could be achieved solo
Emperor mini-buffs to best performers by hour ? Like 25% of all emperor bonus to top three players currently online or best performers the last hour (cf performance rankings added to the current PVP grind ranking)
Did I say performance leaderboards are important ? With Alliance-wide announce of all successful 1V3+ and Cyrodiil-wide 100 kills without dying. Announce of top murderers and healers each our. Those players get a buff called "on alert" corresponding to 15% of all emperor buffs.
Better Death Recap with mouse-over for abilities explanation.
Possibility to put bounties on players !
Improvement of map in Cyrodiil : Interactivity, smart-pointing (League Of Legend-like), location of all friendly raid leaders (group>4) to let everyone (solo players/roamers/small groups) see where the action is, and tag-feature saying "I will defend/attack this point"
Now that siege is buffed, could armor mitigation to siege damage make a come back (plz) ?
Escort missions in Cyrodiil ?
Use of top NPC once per campaign/week/month when you have completed the quest with them (ex : Razum Dar) as a companion ?
Mini boss(es) in Castles ?
Movable Alliance-wide NPC army/battalions summonable from any Castle under siege for high AP cost ?
Expedition buff (+40% movement speed) on all Cyrodiil roads ? (plz or at least minor, would make ganking more of thing)
New PVP items and sets ?
Higher Castles identities : they look all the same sadly. Would like them much more different, with different materials, architecture and specific weaknesses.
Invitations to friends to test Cyrodiil (and therefor TESO) freely ?
PVP mounts (additional armor and stamina / charge / dps abiliy...) with same penalties as others
Stop unmounting when using doors possible ?
End of AP bonuses to groups in Cyrodiil ! Aren't we fighting for the same objective ? It feels like we are not with the current system (quest achievements, AP gains, etc...)
Last but not least : change of viewpoint when using siege (has to be MUCH higher) !!!
... Did I say performance scoreboards ?

Thank you in advance for asking all these questions for me @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_GinaBruno or you my unknown messenger !

Some more in-game console footage would be great, just so you know!

Interesting. It seems I was banned from talking in your Twitch channel! It is great to know your policy of silencing your players extends beyond your own Forums! Great job Zenimax!

By the way, all I said was that if @ZOS_GinaBruno didn't mentioned Sorcerers at all that I would explode. Definitely a ban worthy offense to ask for an update she promised us sorcerers a month ago!

Again, good job Zenimax Mods! I await you snipping at this post as well or removing it completely!

question

Any Chance with the Change to Cyrodiil will there be any change to assault/support skill line so that they are not tied to rank Because a lot of the skills in assault and support are really good for pve like Barrier, Caltrops, Vigor. me i love pvp but i dont live in pvp so i find it kinda sucks to have some almost essential skills for tanks, healers, and dps tried to High ranks. I mean im more looking at vigor since im a stam dps its almost essential for stam dps.

i think that you should be able to lvl up assault skill line by capturing keeps/resources and maybe even killing players
and have support skill line lvl up by repair keeps and healing people. just something other then having it tied to alliance ranks i mean i understand it something to keep people to want to pvp to work toward but it shouldn't be a skill as near essential for tanks/healers/dps.

if your really hooked on that there should be something other then a title and skill point tied to rank then you could add more passives that would help survive a bit more not by much but just enough to where someone who has higher ranks are huge advantage.

Grao · March 2015

Since I can't ask on the chat

Have you considering allowing "alliances" between the different sides in Cyrodiil? For instance, Blue and Red declare an temporary alliance against Yellow, which would allow free communication between Blue and Red and would keep those two sides from attacking each other for, I don;t know... an hour.

This could be achieved by having a vote. Someone proposes the alliance and those affected by the proposition vote yes or no. If the proposal passes an alliance is formed.

GorraShatan · March 2015

Anyone have a summary of what was discussed? No sound
