ESO Class Representative Program

VelociousLegend · March 2018

This is a great idea!

I would definitely vote for @NightbladeMechanics to represent magblades in this effort. Plays the class at a very high level, deep knowledge of the skills, and experience with a variety of playstyles (e.g. ranged, melee, sap-tank, etc.).

technohic · March 2018

Also; I will say @Lexxypwns as seems to have deep knowledge of many if not all of the classes. Sure has helped me a lot with posts here.

And we are all bad at following directions by spamming these guys with tags rather than just emailing as Gina says in the OP.

Lexxypwns · March 2018

All discussion between Devs and “class representatives” needs to be done in the open so that the community as a whole can offer feedback on this input. Otherwise this is gonna be a disaster.

Edit: I think ya a great idea as long as whatever is discussed is openly communicated to our whole community where it can receive feedback. Individuals all have different perspectives and that’s important to be aware of

For as long as theres been Templars; there has seemed to be @Joy_Division for information and none that do as much work as @Cinbri in every test cycle. Just lets not forget about Stamplar as I think they are both mainly magicka there.

Hrmp, no stamplars are not to be forgotten. If I recall that correctly, it was stamplars uprising that gave us stamina class abilities

Personally, I hope to hear feedback/ hands up from some people of the german community. There are some that know about stamplars, do testing, have a good knowledge about other stam classes and have the ability to communicate properly.

-double- sry

I also nominate @stileanima for magicka wardens. I'm fairly sure she's the only one who has broken 50k on it.

Nifty2g · March 2018

This is great, Templar has been suffering severely. Hopefully Templars can be made viable from this

Koolio · March 2018

Wow. Between Quarterly combat changes and this should make a huge difference for everyone.

GeneralSezme · March 2018

I think this is great, even though representatives are a 300 year old idea.

But I think even with this system there will be under representation of classes based on the fact that classes diverge from the identity based on many different factors such as build that revolve around Health, Stamina, or Magicka and then DPS, Tank and healer, and then multiply all that by 2 because these diverge again when were talking about PvP or PvE.

So yeah this is a cool idea hope it brings some good changes Vivec (the god and the campaign) knows we need them

That defeats the entire purpose of electing representatives. Otherwise, you might as well just start an open thread. The whole point is to bring in individuals who have a deep understanding of the class in order to better balance all classes as a whole. If you just open it up to the community as a whole, you end up with unbalanced feedback and to much input. Nothing would be accomplished. Accepting input from the casual players is a horrible way of balancing classes. They don’t have the in-depth knowledge, play time, or “big picture” mindset to effectively submit feedback that is productive.

Cinbri · March 2018

Will decision be made before next Update/Chapter? @ZOS_GinaBruno

DRAGON_KILLER_HUNTER · March 2018

i vote big boss the dark phoenix as cyrodiil expert

Huggelz · March 2018

@Irylia for magsorc, he is the only sorc who understands the class is still overperforming and needs to see some adjustments.

NobleGuardian · March 2018

@ZOS_GinaBruno when you said 10 members to fill the roles do you mean 10 for each class or 10 total members. i think if you trying to limit it to 10 total members you're going to be missing alot of feedback because there is so many different ways to play each class. i think 10 total would be very limited feedback overall.

While i do understand that 50 total reports would be alot to go through for the Dev team, but if you say "hey player x and y we are choosing you for feedback on magplar" you dont have to go through that report until the class is being brought up.

No it doesn’t. A public thread requires the devs to sort through too much information. Whereas choosing a representative and being transparent about what they’re discussing with devs and opening communication about that discussion will funnel feedback into things the devs are actually interested in.

Don’t be narrow minded

Grimlok_S · March 2018

I'd like to he the second to volunteer @QuantumV on behalf of magdk kind. Their feedback is always civil, constructive and free of the grand sensationalism we often see on the forums.

Cinbri goes above and beyond the call of duty for templars. Dedication to testing is astounding. Would be an excellent resource.

Hopefully this is kept open and objective.

Stamplars are so under represented in the game that we will probably not see them get much attention anyway like always - I do however hope we get someone who is able to tell them the flaws in their Stamplar design (or lack hereof) - especially evident in their lack of potency in PvP.

Hamburglarjones · March 2018

I proudly nominate @Knowledge as he clearly has amazing insight into game direction in general.

Hexys · March 2018

I'm always up for helping! I've played since beta with around 400 days of playtime on a competitive level. I guess my main input can be about the Sorcerer and/or Nightblade class but can bring input on any class.

Rickter · March 2018

I second these nominations

For nightblade Gilliam and @NightbladeMechanics would be good choices. Both these players know a lot about other classes too as well as the base game.

@stileanima has done some awesome stuff with Warden in PvE and I've seen her do stamplar as well!

@GandTheImpaler and @BagOfTatoes (not sure if Tatoes has a forum account) would be great for sorc in a PvP sense but as for PvE I'm not sure who to recommend. I've seen @Inigo play a sorc successfully and he has knowledge of the game and it's mechanics so he would be a good choice.

For Stam DK I can only think of @Highpolicy and for magic DK @Quantum_V comes to mind but there may be someone else

Mag Templar has been left in the dust so much IDK who to mention for that.

I've got enough free time on my hands to help and give suggestions and would love to give my own feedback but I don't see why anyone would pick me for anything while Gilliam still lives. I've seldom heard of more constructive and unbiased feedback than from him.

rustic_potato · March 2018

I would recommend @LZH the dude plays all classes. Also surprised to not see @Alcast for his stamplar/magplar.

Also why do i have the feeling that this sounds like a trap? Last time something like this happened we ended up with Morrowind.

This is a good but a little late move ZOS.

I would like to apply myself, but I'm afraid my personality is venomous at best and I am known to have a bias favoring stamDks

So please, if there are any other stamDK mains left, do apply, and make sure the class isn't garbage for yet another year.

also @Liofa , I think you might want to take a look at this.

Thanks for the mention ^^

My honest opinion here . I can represent every class in terms of PvE tanking but it is not going to work this way . One person simply cannot represent a class as a whole . Even ten people cannot represent a class all together . Limited amount of people will have limited amount of experience . Yes , you can take the people you think the most experienced but there still will be flaws .

If I have to be more clear . Let's say I was chosen to be the DK representetive . I am quite confident as a PvE Tank player to give proper and valuable feedback and bug reports on DK PvE Tank but I won't be able to give proper feedback on other aspects of the game as a DK . Yes , I do PvP , I know how to play DK DPS builds and such but I am nowhere near as experienced as dedicated DD players . A master DK PvE DPS player will not be able to give proper feedback like a dedicated PvP player can do . It just won't be the same between the two . Simply not possible . I hope I could make a point . So my question is that how many players are you thinking about choosing to represent a class ? Are you really going to choose a single player or is it going to be more for each class ?

Looking forward to an answer

Im_MegaDeath · March 2018

Make sure you get a good rep for PvP Stam DK plzzzzzzzzzzzz @ZOS_GinaBruno

Drdeath20 · March 2018

@Joy_Division

Seriously 1 of the best write ups i have ever seen for magplar.

Ooh pick me pick me!

Otherwise you're gonna wind up with all meta pushers who don't play how you want.

Kilandros · March 2018

I'll nominate @vortexman11 and @Quantum_V as DK representatives.

Turelus · March 2018

This is an awesome idea.

Looking forward to what comes from this.

I see your point. Its a shame ZOS only wants 10 players for this, but I still think you are the one when it comes to pve tanking and pve Dk. As for PvP stamDK I just don't know how they can make the class any worse so in a sense I'm not too worried about it, I think the issues about the class is clear as day and you probably can see it too.

10 players probably means 1 for each spec, but does that mean 1 for pve 1 for pvp , or 1 for mag , 1 for stam, I do not know.
