What is, in your opinion, the change the community asked most for?

-Maw of the Infernal: Not so long ago, there was a mention of plans to update this item set from the Undaunted to have a more reliable proc chance and/or criteria. Can we expect to see this in the next major game patch?

-Nirnhoned and Reinforced: What are your thoughts on how they are currently balanced? Any hints as to how they may soon be changed up? Will we see nirnhoned brought down, or Reinforced brought up? On the same note, any ideas on how to help improve the in-game messaging of how all of this "stuff" works to encourage players to create more durable builds? I feel as though a large part of the quick TTK (time to kill) issues encountered in Cyrodiil and PVP in general are an outgrowth of a lot of people just aiming for raw damage without realizing they could live a lot longer to do a lot more if they just dialed it back a little.

-When the new item sets go live, will we want to have some Gold Undaunted Keys saved up, or will these rewards be tied to some other system?

-Any teasers as to some of the new item sets? Has there ever been more recent discussion of allowing us to somehow, even at large cost, re-trait existing items such as dropped or PVP reward ones?

-Spell Damage, Weapon Damage, and regeneration glyphs for Jewelry have been very low on their item power allocation since version 1.6 as compared to 1.5 and prior patches, where they used to be nearly equivalent to a set bonus for each glyph. Currently they top out at 64 points, while a set bonus for Spell Damage, for example, goes to around 175-179 depending on the source and rank of the set at legendary. Cost reduction glyphs were scaled to a strong, and consistent, value compared to the old system. Is this planned to be addressed in the next major update? If not, are they being left alone and intended to be this way, and why?

-Ambush, Extended Chains, Werewolf Pounce, and other "leap"/pull type skills: Any chance we'll see the return of chains and ambush being useful for keep sieges and battles? A long time ago we could yank defenders down from the walls if they didn't block. We also could Ambush/Teleport Strike up to them as nightblades, among other things. While this left mechanics open for abuse, would it be possible to change it so these skills had their height restrictions once more removed, but only if you are in a resource or objective that is flagged/"burst" (aka in combat) in PVP?

I would love to see these sorts of changes along with higher structure health on walls/doors to create a longer siege dynamic with more potential for offenses and defenses to happen. Currently it often feels like there is little if any time to get out there to defend, and the sieges usually boil down to waiting for the enemy to reach the inner, or at minimum begin sieging the inner, to really do much fighting as you are at a significant disadvantage (as are they to stick their necks out) engaging before the outer walls are breached.

-Will we see the Alliance War's "Support" and "Assault" skill lines branched out further to help provide longer-term goals for earning alliance ranks?

-Champion System experience in PVP combat is very poor. It unfortunately is so out of line with all other sources of experience, including even while leveling Veteran Ranks or normal character levels, that you largely are wasting your time out there if you want to earn XP. This also leaves players who enjoy a lot of PVP very short on Champion Levels as a result. In the recent Reddit AMA we saw a comment about bringing many other XP sources up towards the rate of leveling that grinding mobs allows for. Will this include a pass at PVP XP at the same time?

-ESO has a very in-depth combat system including a number of status effects and game mechanics, however they are largely opaque at this time. Given the broadening community support after the console launch for further user interface options and toggles such as buff/debuff indicators (which have been stated to be incoming), optional name/guild tags, and a combat log tab, how do potential upcoming changes and options for the UI factor into your decision-making on balance changes? A lot of feedback often is based on observation rather than having any objective information when players post. Are there plans to expand the UI back towards some of its original feature set such as seen here? http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/183978/i-went-on-an-archaeology-expedition-on-my-hard-drive-and-found-the-long-lost-oft-demanded-true-ui .

Examples of these effects include damage shields having zero mitigation, while players just see a giant shield and assume it is as good as health, or the large damage multiplier you gain against off balance enemies when using a heavy attack, which also knocks them down, or weapon enchantments with secondary effects like the snare on frost, or outgoing enemy damage debuff applied by shock enchants, as well as numerous others that have either zero, or little, in game messaging or cue to show that they even exist.

Are you ever going to actually fix the Templar charge? What is the deal with it STILL being broken after being "fixed' 3 times.

Is it intended for people to be able to do 30k+ burst dmg out of stealth to instantly kill anyone?

Why are shields still stacking when it is so obviously a huge issue? Sorcs are well known to stack 40k in shields while still having 18-20k hp and nuking for 20-30k a shot.

Are there any plans to address the current infinite resource scaling issues inherent to champion + minmax.

An example would be a medium armor bosmer with enough points in tumbling that can literally roll dodge infinitely due to having 3k+ stam regen

What is your favourite cheese ?

Can we get some Content updates this year? i mean we have only been waiting 12 months.

How do you ensure all combat is balanced in ESO?

What plans do you have regarding the sorcerer class? After 1.6 with how the games meta shifted most sorcerer builds outside the current shield spamming few are little more than weapon platforms.

Also, do the devs still feel that the werewolf is still in a good position? 1.5 did add a lot but with the addition of the free stamina regen passive most players picked up the transformation only for that and using the transformation still leads to less than desirable results more often than not.

When crafting spells appear?

Can you mention anything specific in regards to how you plan on making Nords more powerful? They are suppose to be the greatest warriors after all, and while rugged is good, the other passives aren't worth putting a skill point into.

I must disagree here. The hp regen passive is actually very powerful when used in a suitable build as your hp regeneration ticks every two seconds and is persistent, unaffected by heal debuffs, and 100% passive. I would like to know if this passive may be undergoing changes as I planned to roll a Nord using hp regen and the incoming damage reduction to be very durable. Can we get a bit of information as to how these may be changing so we can plan ahead? That is a very good question I am glad you brought up, @Strider_Roshin .

Hi i have some questions about sets:

-Are there plans to change the bonus on 9th trait set or will there be a 10th crafttable one in next big patch ?
The curernt ones are bad compared with lower ranked ones

-Will trial sets be given a buff?
We think that rare bound items should be better than others

An idea could be a new set where we could insert the bonus we want from the existing ones with no more than 1 type of bonus and with 6 bonus (a lovely 10th trait set )

-Will imperial city have a new 2 piece undaunted set?

To finish all please create a token system were 1 tokem = randon drop but 10 tokens = piece you need.

- Will there a way to Change Gear Traid?
Or atleast Change them to somthing usefull. Having Exploring or somthing like that on V14 Sets is just mehh.


How do you plan to Balance the DMG In/Out put for PVP.

Any plans for the rolldogers/Blockers/Bolt escapers?

Animation canc. any plans to improve this System to avoid abuse it with macros or will it remain like this?

will there be a traid for armor like nirnhorned but for physical armor? mby a Option for the Crux for both, so no new mat or traid would be needed. ~35k max armor vs 50% Penetration and the a epic stack from weapon dmg to 5000 is a bit strange.

Folks, Eric Wrobel's the lead COMBAT designer. I might be wrong, but I don't think he'll answer non-combat/combat design questions (i.e when is Imperial City, Wrothgar, removal of Vet Ranks, etc)

"If you have a question for Eric about skill lines, item sets, traits, passives, anything related combat and itemization..."
