Through complicated rituals far beyond understanding of most, Great House Telvanni's European branch has managed to make direct contact with ZOS and addressed the two concerns that have been concerning us - who we are roleplaying on Elder Scrolls Online - the most. We have been asked to gather occurences of the following two phenomena, so that they can be evaluated if they can be fixed and made available to us: Locked locations and NPC emotes.
Why and how your help is needed is detailed below - if you, for some reason, cannot provide all the information, please feel free to submit partials. Maybe someone else can take the time to complete it! Also, please pass this on to as many of your friends as possible.
Get in touch
Locked locations
Often, locations are only available during quests, so many of us use an alt to keep the quest im progress, keeping the area accessible by grouping.
We need the following information:
1. Zone
2. Subzone (if there is one)
3. Name of the quest
4. Title or description of the quest step that makes the area inaccessible (if you are not sure, see below)
5. Brief description of what exactly is happening that you would like fixed.
Example:
1. Stonefalls
2. Heimlyn Keep Reliquary
3. What was done must be undone
4. Talk to Keeper Vildras
5. After completing the quest, the portal in the main reliquary chamber closes forever, making the back room inaccessible.
Since the developers are speaking English, please make sure to include the English names of the quests - you can easily find them if you feed the right terms to google, for example the name of the quest NPC or the location. The more precise your information is, the easier it will be for Zenimaxx to find everything!
All data will be gathered under www.telvanni.eu/rp_locations
NPC emotes
Many NPC have are using emotes that are not available to us players. Fortunately, since those are already in-game, they "should be easy to implement" (quoting freely). We now must make a list with NPCs using those emotes, preferrably in-action.
We need the following information:
1. Zone
2. Subzone
3. Name of the NPC
4. Brief description of the emote in question
5. Map Coordinates*
6. Link to a Screenshot**
Example:
1. Hew's Bane
2. Thieves' Den
3. Quen
4. Sitting like we can't
5. 46.63, 38.43
6.: I'm a long link **
* You can get your current coordinates by installing the add-on "Map Coordinates" or by typing /script d(GetMapPlayerPosition("player")) into your chat box. (ZOS is okay with this, and it will not break your computer.)
** The Add-on on the screenshot is MiniMap. For linking, uploads to google photos, flickr... work, but every public link will do!
All data will be gathered under www.telvanni.eu/rp_emotes
We're looking forward to your feedback.
The final deadline for this will be the 11th of July, 2016.
Oh, while we are at it, can you tell ZOS...
We can, but that's not part of our mission, so they will likely not listen to it. We know for fact though that they read the forums, and that no information there is ever lost.
