Good afternoon, folks. Below are the "Ask Us Anything" questions and answers from the latest episode of ESO Live from 8/14. Enjoy!
Do you plan a final part of the cinematic trailer? I need to know how the fight against Mannimarco ends. – @BuggeX
Your actions in the Main Story determine that - it’s up to you how the fight against Mannimarco ends!
What are the plans for Alliance Points as a currency going forward? – @TheBull
Going forward, you’ll be able to use Alliance Points in order to buy the teleport stone, called the “Sigil of Imperial Retreat,” from Imperial City. You’ll also be able to get soul gems for a new reduced price, and we’re also planning on adding food and potions that you can acquire.
Can you talk about what you’re doing to improve the Looking For Group system? It’s currently very frustrating to use, especially on consoles. – @Frankie
There are several changes we’ll be rolling out for the LFG system. Not all of these will happen at once but a large focus is on reducing some of the restrictions in place that prevent players from being grouped by the tool. We’ll be releasing additional details in the future on how these changes work.
Will I ever be able to customize my controller to suit my needs? – @J2JMC
We’ve discussed allowing player customization, but there are no plans to support that at this time.
Why are there no NPCs smoking pipes in ESOTU (tobacco or dried herbs)? Is it due not being part of the Elder Scrolls lore? – @randolphbenoit
In TES lore, Cyrodilics smoke tobacco, while the Wood Elves smoke dried bugs. We’ve referred to this in ESO lore books, but there just hasn’t been any reason for it, as yet, to actually appear in-game.
Would it be possible to add the role someone is playing on the character they are logged on with to your friends list? – @JBsnow404
It’s a nice suggestion, and something we’ll consider for future quality of life improvements, but we don’t have any immediate plans.
When can we expect to get a new trial? – @Chufu
A new trial is on the list of things we want to do. We don’t have a firm ETA just yet, though.
Whatever happened to the plan to add an option to turn off the notifications showing guild mates leaderboard rankings. – @Vonovosi
We are working on adding a setting that allows you to turn all guild notifications on or off for a future patch.
Will duel wield characters ever be able to carry the weapons on the back (crossed)? – @Arjun
We don’t have any plans to adjust the current weapon docking positions.
Will there be any updates to the guild trader system? For example a type and search function. –@Geemarc
We don’t have plans for this at this time, but we’d like to incorporate more improvements to the system in the future.
Are there any plans for solo content for those that have finished Caldwell's Gold? – @Sabaticus
Imperial City has soloable content in it, but if you really love the core questing experience as a solo player, Orsinium is for you.
Can you add new icons to the group HUD? During PvP, the crown icon is often used to coordinate huge numbers of people. Could there be an option to add a queen or a bishop or maybe just a few other icons signifying important group members? – @mrskinskull
We like the idea, but we currently don’t have plans to implement different group member icons.
Will we be able to purchase the Imperial City DLC from the store with a credit card transaction? Or will it only be available in the crown store? – @rowanwatkins3
You’ll be able to purchase crowns from the Crown Store or from the official ESOTU website, which can be used to redeem the Imperial City DLC game pack upon release. If you’re playing ESOTU on Xbox One, you can purchase crowns from the Xbox Store, while PlayStation®4 players can purchase crowns from the PlayStation Store. If you’re an active ESO Plus member, you’ll automatically receive the Imperial City DLC game pack upon release, and will have access to that content for as long as you keep your ESO Plus membership.
