Come here a minute. I have an idea everyone might like and play a part in.

Ok, the first time I did this, there was a lot of feedback about what we all wanted to see in the game. What I've noticed about these boards is that there seems to be a 50/50 split in opinion many times. That got me thinking.

I want you to think hard for a minute and post one or more things you think we can all agree on. Even if someone says something you thought of, please post it so others can see its prevalence. Again, so there is no topic bias off the bat from myself, I'm going to wait and post mine later. This is something I want to take my time and think about. So too with yourself, if you just keep this post open you can think about it and post later.

I think what we can gain from this is a constructive common ground that ZoS can see. My hopes are that this will illuminate some singular threads between us that may perhaps be a guide to shaping this game for the future. After all, if they do decide to listen to us, what better place to pull from than a collection of our agreements among each other. And I'd say these forums show quite a diverse set of minds to sample from.

And here's something that will make you smile.

Pele

Improve guild store searching.

Dayv

Correct level provisioning ingredients on VR

cjmarsh725b14_ESO

Fix the group mass disconnects in Cyrodiil.

Add baby hippos to the list of races. With "explosive twirling tail poop" one of their abilities!

Gisgo

Get off my lawn.

Dayv

Recipe level on provisioning ingredient tooltips to make it easier to remember which you want to keep or not.

Rologue

More choices on leveling options.

KhajitFurTrader

Every year, more people are killed by hippos than by sharks. Hippos are landsharks!

Thing we can all agree on:

Make the upcoming Dark Brotherhood questline truly epic in proportion and execution (get it?). I want to be able to go into a mansion with lots of people, lock them in, kill some of them surreptitiously over the course of several days, make them suspect and attack each other, until the last one comes to a horrifying conclusion and kills himself out of desperation. Mwahahahahahaaaaa...

*Ahem* I mean, please make it happen. O:)

daneyulebub17_ESO

Fix guild store search and sort options.

This single thing is something most have to contend with daily regardless of level. Or they've learned to avoid guild stores entirely because it's such a hassle to find anything and compare.

The poor UI is a huge detriment to the whole market system. If they want to come up with an alternative means to an AH, fine, but they should at least make sure that alternative is properly implemented.

Bravo. I like this.
It would add character to the game.
Small little things like this are nice.

Keep Guild Stores, but also institute a working Auction House with the same posting fees/taxes as the GS for those that either don't care to join a trading guild or are interested in potentially selling to more customers.

Since GS are non-faction restricted, make the AH system restricted by faction in order to give some sort of rationale to use the GS instead. Whereas one could simply make alts on the various factions, that would take some sort of personal effort. AH's could also be limited to the level 15+ zones.

Crafting contracts - like the trade window but crafter can spec up an as yet unmade item, buyer can put deposit down. Then if the crafter delivers within a time limit 24hrs maybe, the deposit is given to the crafter, if not it's returned to the buyer.

Add provisioning recipes that include fish you catch. Also remove worms/crawlers from plants, and make worms instead drop from some level 1 critter, or separate gathering item. That not only puts worms on par with all the other baits when it comes to ease of collecting, but will prevent folks that don't fish from having to deal with them. It also has the added bonus of getting rid of the thing where you go to harvest something and find only worms or crawlers.

AlexDougherty

Add a treacle tart recipe to provisioning for free, as a way to say Zos appreciates our subscriptions. Just add it to every character overnight, and let us craft Treacle tarts, the buff should be .....Nothing, just for fun.

Dayv

Synch all nearby players playing a lute, flute or drum to be in time and harmony with each other.

Mousewheel zooming out of a city map far enough goes to region map

I'll just use his. I hadn't even thought of these, and they are awesome.

Bard College: So player created songs and poems can make it into the game.

I think we can all agree that the guild store is vastly in need of improvement.

I think we can all agree that Heavy and Medium Armor suffer greatly in comparison to Light Armor. I doubt we can agree on a solution. (My suggestion would be buffs instead of nerfs. (I also stand by my suggestion of a couple of weeks ago to take critical heals away from spell critical and give Heavy Armor a bonus to heal size and Medium Armor a bonus to critical heals.))

I think we can all agree that melee weapons need a lot of love. Increasing the survivability of close-range armors would help, but the damage outputs of stamina abilities really need a boost, too.

Capes-
Skill capes
Quest Capes
Achievement capes
Title caps
Mob slayer caps (Requirement: Kill x amount of ?)
Pre order capes
PvP capes
Etc..

Not critical, but would be nice to see some of these to flash around your play style.. Players that grind mobs would have some unique capes versus players that grind quests.

It would be nice to be able to buy property or have a share in a business. A lot of folks have commented on inventory management - being able to buy a house (and decorate it like in other ES games) would be a nice touch and give players a space to store their stuff.

Morimizo

Players who have proven themselves to be legit, get a Bot Banishing Blast Bow. This lovely weapon has 100 meter range, has 200 meter AOE radius, does 100k irresistible damage, has no cooldown time, and rewards the player with 100 gold per strike, and a sizzling pool of dissolving acid to replace the bot entity (and lots of screaming for mercy).

GrimCyclone

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I thought about this all day. I think if I really had to say one thing we all can agree on, it would be this: We all want ESO to try to carry the spirit of what we love in all the TES games as well as ways to bring us together in that experience so that we may enjoy it together.

We all like TES.
We all seem to like MMOs.

If the developers can extract what we like in TES collectively and somehow make it so that is a cooperative experience, I believe that's the recipe for success. I don't think you have to think about it in terms of mmos today. I think ESO can stand on the fact that it's an ES game alone.

Personally, I think we could all get behind some open world 4+ (it adjusts to whatever number so never leave anyone out) player AI tailored-to-group quests/trials that could be sprinkled all around the world. That with at least 2 difficulty levels each.

Also, I think they need to let us group with anyone and lower our level, in power, so that even though we will not be too powerful for that level, we should always be able to group with any of our friends at any time with our characters. EQ2 did this with chronomancing. It was great.

There would be pts/currency for helping with quests, dungeons, continual completion of such things, etc. I think there's a lot to be had if you think creatively and use your content in ways that will engage the player-base together, no matter what level in fun and various ways.

I would like to see housing added sooner rather than later.
Would like to see fixes come a bit faster

In my opinion, OPTIONS. Ultimately, everyone will have differing views so I think options to choose can overcome many of the forum complaints. While I don't believe it will resolve everything, I do believe it can resolve certain interface issues.

I love this idea, wouldn't it be nice to be able to craft saddle bags, spurs (nasal strips) ala CA chrome LOL and armor for horses? How about engrave your sword or shield or carve your staff with runes and actually see it. It's cosmetic but a fun idea.
Nice chriss23 I like you idea.
