What I miss in ESO from other MMO's

eldermpsmithrwb17_ESO

Probably a thread that's been done before but wanted to add my cents. I have only been on PC for about 5 years now and have heavily played GW2, the old Republic and the Secret World, there are a couple of things I miss from them that would be on my wish list for ESO;

• Name change and re-crafting character styles ( i know barber shop is coming..."soon")
• Guild Events, there are trials and dungeons I know, but in GW2 there were events that brought guilds together for other things too, exploration events, world bosses and other other creative type things to keep guilds together
• Meta world bosses in GW2, that brought scores of people together once or twice a day for chance of great drops, and needed multiple full groups to do, lag was uber but was fun
• Legendary Weapons, that took weeks/months of gathering to put together
• Multiple choices and story lines from the Old Republic.
• Auction house, just for the convenience of finding all the stuff together in the one place.
• Weapon and armour skins
• 4 player hold the point arenas in GW2 pvp

Anything else to add to the list please post and keep it positive, FYI been playing and subbing since beta. These are ideas I would love to see ESO do moving forward and business opportunities seeing the game move forward other than the smaller DLC packs.

Kozer

An actual Auction House where I don't have to spend 20 or more minuets of my life looking for 1 item in a slew of different vendors in different zones with wildly different prices.

bedlom

A chat box.

dday3six

Auction house, text chat, buff trackers, customizable hud, actual focus on group content over trying to recreate the role playing experience of a single player series in a multiplayer game, just to name a few.

Sardath

I still can't believe how ESO doesn't have arenas.

Capture the point won't work here though. With this flexible skill system, everyone would just go full tank and /sleep on points. Maybe if they restrict 1 healer 1 tank and 2-3 dps per match?

To stay on track, I do miss most of the QoL features that Gw2 has: shared inventory slots on all your characters, all mats are sent to you bank regardless of where you are in the world, tomes that can easily boost a char to 80 so you can skip the grind on an alt, PvP not accounting for your gear/level and the dynamic events.

The thing I'd like to see the most is friendlier alt leveling. Once you have a VR16/CP160 and/or map completion, you should be able to boost your alts to 50 somehow, or at least get double XP on them.

Shogunami

PvP for more than a few hours every evening, meaning battlegrounds - couldn't give a shite about arenas, unless they're locked to first person, non champion point, and has;
Player collision detection.

PvE group content that takes weeks/months to get through, long enough to complete just in time for new and exciting PvE content.

Content that isn't just a gimmick, i.e. dolmens

MercyKilling

Auction house.

The fact that I could make a single group/guild and invite all my alts to it via a single outside helping source.

Then being able to build my very own instanced base.

I miss grouping to do missions, be it random door missions or perhaps a storyline.

Oh, then there was the Mission Architect System, where players could design their very OWN mission/story lines and villains. Costume content and customization was only matched by one other game(and still is, in my experience)...oh, yeah.

Being able to hit a tailor and change my appearance for a scaling fee based upon my level. Max level, max cost. But the currency for a max level rework could be done in about....half an hour to 45 minutes worth of missioning.

Being able to set my SOLO DIFFICULTY LEVEL to be as if a full team of eight was walking in the door of the mission and all enemies were +4 levels to my own.

And a metric you-know-what-ton of other features that are absent in this game. It sincerely baffles me that a game made in 2006 STILL has better quality of life features than a game in 2016 does.

Van_0S

-More character customization like in BDO or BnS.
-More nudity/exotic clothes for females .<3
(After all its rated "M")
-Improved texture quality to match with the upcoming MMO( atleasy the character models).
-Lastly, flying mount only in that zone like in FFXIV ARR.

If they added very hard to get legendary weapons to the game, all the plebs will revolt because they are 'impossible' to get :^)

Gargath

Tradeable mounts .

Tradeable cheap crown store packs with items rolled by Chance, also tradeable.

Like in SWTOR.

Sausage

Darkfall's fatality thing, when you've defeated your opponent and its on the ground, you can give the kill shot, basically I'd love to do something else than tea-bag. Sea-combat too, I'd love to own a ship and crew of course.

eldermpsmithrwb17_ESO

Good ideas keep em coming

Svalinn

A freaking PvP Arena with team battles and 1Vs1!!!

I mean ESO has such a great background for arena battles thanks to ES: Oblivion i just can't believe they didn't put it in the base game and we still do't have it today... expecially since everyone complains about lag etc from the open pvp area... an arena would not lag that much and would make a lot of people so happy in so many different ways xD

NewBlacksmurf

-barbershop, character recustomization, and in game calendar for events or trials. Yes.

Eshelmen

I want more public events and activities.

I also want more guild activities and a reason / guild reward for actually doing them.

I absolutely love how other mmos give each guild a guild xp bar. This makes grouping with guilds even more fun and worth getting together for.

Who knows.
Level 1- guild can give all members another free rez in two hours
Level 2- all guild members receive a 3% heal increase from another guildy
level 3- a small tax decrease for selling stuff
level 4 - 10% additional enlightened
level 5- 3% additional damage to all world enemies

and so on and so on.

- Guild Events are up to the Guild. My guild on PS4 does a weekly calendar in the Notifications of multiple events per day.
- I'm not a fan of global auction houses, but the UI does need a complete overhaul and a bazaar of 10+ traders per city would be nice
- Legendary Crafted weapons like FF and GW2 would be nice. But you'd have to be able to skin them too.
- World Boss invasions would be nice like Rift. BUT the lag would be INSANE!!!!!
- Weapon and Armor skins are already available

I would like to see a quick slot for sets of armor that we arrange in a paper doll, a quick character cp/attribute/morph change function and being able to reskin armors/weapons as well as change their traits.

I think that the work you were looking for instead of pleb was casual.

Casuals may never be Emperor but they rule the game now.

The 5 guilds thing just doesn't sit right with me , never has, no loyalty because your stretched over 5 different guilds and since its the only way to sell your stuff you have no choice.

I have always had 3 trading guilds, 1 personal guild for bank and 1 Guild that I adventured with that wasn't a trade guild. Not had many problems.

wildbear247

There are a lot of things that would be nice to have: PvP dueling; small-scale PvP arenas; more customizeable UI; removing artificial time restriction for upgrading mounts; a rare material that can be used to change traits on items; etc. Something that has puzzled/worried me about a month after I started playing ESO is how ZOS responds to and gathers player feedback on the current and future state of the game. Thought about it a long time and decided to start a thread on it.
http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/260685/do-you-think-we-need-a-better-player-developer-feedback-system#latest

The forums are full of good ideas from players, but ZOS hasn't really tapped into their players on the forums or more importantly the entire player base. For example, the IC district capture feature in the DB DLC might be pretty cool, but I wonder what process ZOS used to decide it was better to work on that first rather than get dueling/arenas/etc. implemented. As far as I know, there was no really strong effort from ZOS to engage as much of the PvP community as possible and ask them which would they prefer to see first...the IC district capture feature or dueling and/or arenas. It's this approach by ZOS to the future state of the game that concerns me...so on one hand I commend them on the DB DLC...but on the other hand I'd really like to see better player/developer interactions.

idk

And all those reasons are why I enjoy ESO. Not the stale boring reskinned version of WoW so many MMOs are.

SantieClaws

Auction House and the lovely music system from LOTRO.

Well it sort of works but it just doesn't "feel" right to me coming from EQ with just one guild system. It is what it is I guess, but i would perfer being able to join just one guild and an auction house but then I guess ESO is meant to be different...still doesn't seem proper lol.

tinythinker

Too much, but to try to hit just a few things...

• brief instances where you can train basic group content skills before going into actual dungeons (would help many who are shy/reluctant to try them)
• the greater amount of four person content of other games (and for ESO they could really use some pre-50 mini-trial, or trial lites, for 6 to 8 people, for fun and to get people excited about the bigger trials)
• having some four person content as part of the main alliance quest while leveling 1-50 to make certain quest points/challenges feel like more of a big deal and to encourage people to at least try a few instanced group events
• lots of scaled public events in pre-50/base game zones to bring people together, offer additional ways to get xp, and break up questing
• bonus reward for under-populated roles (can get rid of frauds now with vote-kick)
• commendation/mentor system for random dungeon group-finder
• more music. And I mean a lot more music, and also cut-scenes.
• underwater content

And I think ZOS could really take each of these (and those thing I didn't list) and do them in a way that goes beyond what other games have done rather than just recycle the same mechanics, but they don't seem interested in these elements of MMORPGs.

Neoauspex

PvP Justice system. Guild vs guild combat. Guild fortresses that are improvable via quests and include reasons for people to gather there (like guild traders or crafting tables or training dummies).

Enemy-of-Coldharbour

Character Re-customization
Auction House
World Events

Vekoeros

AN ACTUAL DEATH PENALTY

CaptainBeerDude

Dungeon overview with stats after completion.

DaniAngione

1. Festivals. But ones based on the lore, of course. Tamriel has several festivals that would be awesome in-game, this has been talked about before, a quick search should suffice.
2. Housing. I miss that from the single player TES games too. A neat housing system will be lovely when it arrives, especially if it has some kind of neighborhood system like LOTRO or FF and you can build/upgrade your house like Skyrim's Heartfire expansion.
3. More horse customization.
4. Better character customization interfaces, like a Wardrobe (LOTRO). Allowing us to DYE our PAID costumes would be a good start.
5. Nicer side activities that are not related to combat in any way... Just like fishing. There was once talk of horse races but I guess that's dead already.... perhaps more support for RP, sitting on chairs/benches.... ESO could really "make history" with some new, cool and different hobbies/mechanics like painting (where you "paint" in-game sceneries and different conditions (like the challenge to reach the place, time of day, landmarks, etc...) make it more or less valuable. Achievements included!
6. A nicer music system, like the LOTRO's ABC music system...
