Elder Scrolls Online: Devs Answer Tons of Questions in Latest Ask Us Anything

BillMurphyBillMurphy Former Managing EditorMember LegendaryPosts: 4,565

The Zenimax Online Studios team posted a new Ask Us Anything today, covering a ton of information from more details on character creation to resurrection in PVP, the reason to use a Shield, and more!

A sample from the post:

Will there be banks? If not, what are the options for storage? - Cassandra Kinsfather

Yes, there are banks in The Elder Scrolls Online, and they are account wide. All your characters will share the same bank.

Your armor skills are supposed to increase by wearing that type of armor. Does the skill line level faster if you wear more armor pieces of the same type, or can I mix the armor types and level all of them at the same rate? Will your armor level faster when fighting higher-level enemies? - Dennis Mull

The more of a specific armor type you wear, the faster that line will advance. Your armor will level faster if you fight higher-level enemies because they are worth more experience.

All weapons can be used to block. What is the advantage of using a shield? Do I have to be in combat mode for my shield to be blocking? 

Shields have larger amounts of armor and have more mitigation when blocking than weapons do. They’re also used in the one-hand and shield skill line. For abilities in that skill line to function, you need to have a shield equipped.

    How do people still have questions for this game?  Every single update is an AMA and show you nothing.

    Tons of questions?

    They were all trivial and they still haven't answered mine  :(

    Why do they call it Ask Us Anything, but use the acronym AMA?

    The last question has an interesting Answer. In PvP you can resurrect someone by using a filled soul gem. I really like that but im not a PvP person. I really hope thats how you resurrect people in PvE as well. It would be more interesting than just asking a healer every time.

    "my soul gems are empty, you die, your screwed!" lol

    EDIT: also filling up soul gems with player souls in pvp would be a nice touch.

    I tried it out at gamescon in Köln this year. I was not so convinced. I like it more as a single player experience.

    Is there going ot be a decent quest system like the one that was in Morrowind or a hold your hand one like in Skyrim

    (Yeah I'm fully aware that Morrowind's Quest Journal was clumsy, but it required you to have decent knowledge of the land .  some thinking investigating and geographic skills were reqiuired, which in my opinion inriched the whole lore and gameplay. in my opinion it was much better then the hand holding in Skyrim.)
