2022 Game Quality of Life Enhancements Wish List. Post yer wishes for Santa!

RevJJ

Better communication from ZOS.

Ratzkifal

• Bosmer get back 3m of stealth into their racial passives, replacing the detection radius. In return slotting Revealing Flare (and morphs) passively adds 6m detection radius.
• The Impressario appears every weekend and sells a selection of old event exclusive rewards for 1million gold per original ticket price, but only for gold and not for tickets. This is for new players to obtain exclusive things from before they started playing without diminishing the prestige of veteran players as well as serving as a way to drain gold from the economy
• PvP alliance war reward tiers scale beyond rank 3 rewards.
• 25 Transmutation crystals can be converted into crown mimic stones.
• All limited houses are also available to purchase with gold the second time they appear in the store.
• The map gets an overhaul to look more lore accurate, especially in the areas we've already visited in previous games.
• The ability to change and lock time of day and weather in your player home to create the perfect atmosphere you desire.
• Tales of Tribute shows our player characters playing the game so the connection between it and ESO is more clear.

I can probably think of more.

LoneStar2911

Thought of more.
1. Allow us to preview furniture from furniture recipes linked in chat.
2. As Ratzkifal said above, let us use transmutation crystals for something else too, and perhaps increase the storage limit for them.
3. Give us a skill passive or CP passive that makes treasure chest dirt mounds and heavy sacks have a glow.
4. Give us a thief-like personality that isn’t hunched over or “sassy” or has repetitive and noisy idles.

tomfant

Transmute geodes of the same type should stack and be able to bank.

Murkmire prologue achievement to require 30 dailies like all the others (and not mind numbing 150).

Account-wide game settings (key allocations, chat colours, etc), or at least an option to save and reload the settings.

Account-wide mount training.

Harvest multiple identical surveys at once.

Companions sworn to carry their burdens.

Curated drops for the off-weight set pieces from Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood dailies.

Curated leads for ancestral motifs.

Disable all pets in crafting areas and other high-traffic places.

tbc ...

SydneyGrey

Being able to stack siege engines and flaming oils in your inventory.

I know people will say "but it's not realistic!" but it's already not realistic to be able to carry 10 trebuchets in your backpack, soooo ....

silvereyes

An end to the brutal 4x-a-year release cycle that values quantity and marketing opportunities over quality and responsiveness to feedback.

A ZOS team better focused on early player feedback to controversial upcoming changes and being able / willing to pivot development to respond. They did this once, with an off-cycle PTS period where they solicited early player feedback on proposed changes to light and heavy attacks before the Greymoor release. ZOS listened to the feedback, and they ended up changing their minds on how they wanted to proceed.

Players absolutely loved this kind of two-way communication shaping the direction of the game, but it has unfortunately never been repeated.

I'm not saying that every new feature needs to have its own PTS cycle, but for something that shifts a huge mechanic of the game (e.g. core combat, removing character-specific journal with AwA, etc.), it would be really nice to have more of a discussion, and less of a top-down, "this is what we are doing, deal with it," approach from ZOS.

TheImperfect

I see a lot of people asking for a minimap. If you do make one please make it optional. I DEFINITELY DON'T WANT one as I prefer a minimum of screen clutter.

Agreed. I'd even say have it turned off by default. A minimap was in the alpha version of the game and the code for it is still there, which is what the PC addons use, but the Devs clearly decided against it and I also think the simpler the HUD the better. Console players are the only ones who really want one because they can't move or ride while they have their map open.

Coatmagic

+1 to alphabetized style stones (or a search function) anything really, the list has gotten too long!

+1 to furnishing bag

+1 to all the requests for *master* set crafting stations; even if it's buying and adding the station to a master one; the craft hall clutter is getting unreasonable

+1 to pet skin options

+1 to hide gear slots (a good start would be a gossamer set like the weapons but for armor!)

+1 to hiding pets/companions in cities

omg, give us PET SHRINK already --- so tired of flappy wings and bear bottom xD

Sidereum

I want the "Hide Shoulders" option in the Outfit system.
Please Zenimax, I beg of you.

StevieKingslayer

My wishes:

• More item slots for housing, or at least the restriction lifted on "pets". Ridiculous I have all these pets/mounts and can't even put more than 2 in some houses, same with dungeon busts/heads etc.
• The ability to control the lighting/weather in my house.
• The ability to upgrade horses for a one time big gold hit. I'm really tired of remembering to feed all my alts horses.
• A crown/gold escrow house in game. For safe trading (Yes, I know about the discord - I'm not allowed to use it because I don't use a mobile phone.)
• A LFG Trials Board. Rather than spamming zones and changing 10,000 instances. One can post the trial they want to do, CP req's or whatever on the board, people who want to go can x for the trial via the board in any zone they are in, and it automatically puts you in the group. Rather than 4 different people zone swapping and screaming they need a dps or a tank and hoping someone cares enough to pay attention, or see it past all the guild chatter/item looting spam.
• Undaunted Enclave in Craglorn.
• Hide shoulders/Hip Flaps.
• The ability to dye your hair. It's been 7 years ZOS, I want my high elf to have her emo phase please. This is ridiculous. Women in the middle ages could put charcoal mix in their hair and dye it. Give me a break, I can't do a spell and have black hair?
• Higher transmute storage - As it stands I have way too many transmute stones on all my toons and I have plus and my slots are full. I cannot do content at this point on some of my toons. I refuse to just decon and waste them. Either higher cap, or allow me to trade geodes with my party members or sell them please. This is ridiculous.
• A furnishing bag. Although it probably won't happen, it needs to happen.
• Master Crafting Stations. Guild halls are ridiculous now. Just make people get all the attunable tables, and then buy a "Master" station to store that set in. This is insane.
• Optional Mini Map. I won't use it, but many would.
• Stackable Siege. Or even just fix siege. I have ghost siege that never works now.
• More interactable furnishings.
  
  There are probably a lot more to be honest. This is just what I can think of off the top of my head.

Baalrog

cloak`s and underwarter swimm

robwolf666

A trader that sells the materials you need to make and improve weapons, armour, jewellery etc - at a reasonable price, so players don't get ripped off by guild traders.

ectoplasmicninja

The ability to hide outfit slots, not just shoulders. If that leads to an epidemic of naked Nords, so be it.

Repeatable dungeon quests. No XP or other reward for doing them after the first time, just let me experience the story and dialogue again in case I missed it because my first run through was with a crazy pug and I turned in the quest at the end out of sheer habit.

More layers for cosmetics. By which I mean the usual complaint - horns are not facial hair, oracle eyes are not facial hair, makeup and scars should be separate...I just want a Bosmer with antlers and a beard and oracle eyes. Pretty please?

The option to complete multiple surveys at once. I understand the issue with alchemy, because the mats can vary, but I'm okay with not knowing what I'm getting from the node. On interacting with the first node from a survey where you have multiple of the same kind, perhaps give a prompt "Harvest all available surveys at once?" or something. If yes, the flowers become satchels so they can reasonably contain different items. If people want to run back and forth until they get maximum cornflower nodes, they can decline and do it manually, but folks like me who just want to get things done will hit yes and promptly harvest a bunch of randomly rolled different items from each satchel. For other surveys like blacksmithing or clothing, treat the node like several of them in one (rather than multiplying the contents of one), so that you still have the same probability of nirncrux etc as if you were doing them all separately.

Hair dye. And black hair for Altmer. Please. Alchemy (the character, not the discipline) tells us in Summerset about how some folks use magic to significantly change their bodies - I feel sure altering hair colour is a walk in the park comparatively speaking. And Leythen set the black hair precedent for Altmer.

More things available for gold, like houses, mounts, etc. Inflation is wild and the game needs gold sinks. I honestly don't even know why I still care about making money other than to buy motifs.

PvE version of Cyrodiil and IC. Hell, if PvP is so bad in those areas, why dont ZOS just bag PvP and focus on PvE? It might lose some players, but it would also attract others - namely older ES fans who aren't interested in PvP, or even MMO's, but you can do a lot solo in ESO so it likely wouldn't matter as much, the trade off might even be worth it - plus it would possibly be less strain on the servers.

(Not intended to flame, just personal opinion)

Yes please. Have been for this very idea for years. It would make life easier for PvE-questers AND for for the PvP-folks. I am myself a bit of both, and know how annoying it is when you have three bars of population on your side, just to realise that a lot of them are PvE-ers taking space.

fizl101

I'll 2nd/3rd/4th the multi fish filleting please!

Tornaad

Full controller support for PC.

Serenez

This is not my entire wish list but here are some:

1. Remove triune superior (blue) jewelry writs. Cost of Dawn Prism out weighs benefit of voucher value
2. Ability to deconstruct Companion gear ie/ green especially. Getting back green mats and or the armour/weapon resources.
3. Ability to sell daily log in poisons to NPC merchant for gold. I have zero use for these and destroy function is just soul destroying.
4. Stackable treasure maps.
5. Player Guild Admin functionality improvements. Should be ways to track dues/requirements/raffles/auctions in game rather than having to rely on 3rd party applications like spreadsheets, add-ons, 3rd party random number generators, raffle pickers etc. Giving Guild Masters better in game tools to help run the guilds, would be a welcome improvement IMO. I have commented on these suggestions in other threads. If there was a way to create an in game 'app' that ran of a different server but synced info with the main server in a controlled manner on the back end to reduce server strain, but allow people to add a version of this 'app' on their PCs, console, phone, tablets etc. so they could check how the guild is doing via history, how the sales are doing. receive/send messages in game. I am not a technical programmer so not even sure if this is possible. As it stands people are pulling info from the game via Add Ons etc, so having this based off a secondary server with a ZOS controlled data sync to the main game server at specified intervals 'may cut down on some lag'?. This is just me speculating as I have no experience in this matter. Anyhow there should be no reason why people need to be using google spreadsheets to organize guild data when IMO it should be done in game. However the solution comes to fruition, any further tools for the Guild Administration would be most welcome IMO. If something like this were to be a consideration, that I might suggest having a focus group with a balanced amount of Guild Master representation from the different platforms and servers. Ask outright what challenges they face, what would help improve their QOL for guild management. Allow GMs to submit their feedback to their Platform/server representative so this could be added to a discussion with the focus group and the Devs. However it happens, I think feedback prior to initiating changes would help provide the needed solutions.
6. Allow the use of helmets (cosmetic) on Companions.
7. Class change tokens.
8. More fishing attention - like skill lines, daily quests, new cosmetics to earn in game through quests, endeavors. For instance new fishing outfits, new poles. I put more details on this in one of my posts in another thread.
9. Ability to designate a house as guild hall with increased limit to account for all those attunables, etc.
10. Increase in housing capacity.

jaws343

I only want 2 things, semi-related trader search functions:

- Search by un-learned plans and motifs.
- Search by un-collected gear.

I just want to be able to go to a trader and sort by things I don't know, so that I can buy those things, without having to search each item set by name and scroll through the results.

Sjestenka

/squat emote. No, really, not having it ruins my every play. And maybe some sorta campfire momento like the one from witch festival, just.. simpler, mundane, without witch brew thing

I_killed_Vivec

A hireling to do my surveys - and I don't even care if I have to buy it, like the banker.

Hiding "flaps".

Auto step up for steps and stones that get in the way. Some steps don't cause problems, others do...

Confirmation for any theft, so I don't accidentally pick up objects cunningly located near writ drop-offs and find myself in trouble with the law without even knowing.

Multi-fish-fillet.

Less capricious RNG - I don't mind being less lucky, as long as I'm never totally unlucky.

And for my DKs, please, please can I have a toggle on Flames of Oblivion... I don't even care if it ticks away at magica and is nerfed to hell, I just want to be permanently covered in flames!

SydneyGrey

Skins for the twilight, scamp, clanfear and bear.

My #1 wish is a polar bear skin for the warden bear.

It would be amazing if we could turn the twilights into nixads, or turn the bears into wolves.

SydneyGrey

The ability to let companions change their hair, and wear helmets and hats.

SammyKhajit

Make vampire skill line more powerful. At this stage, vampire is really just for roleplay.

Companions to carry their own gear.

Rehire some of the original writing team staff. The difference in terms of quality and creativity between previous and current content is significant.

Story mode for dungeons.

Deconstruction assistant is very helpful, and having research function will be even better.

francesinhalover

Rework crystal weapon. Make it veiled strike 2.0 instead but with a conjured sword.

crysis992

An option to hide all skill effects from other players/procs during instanced content

Sjestenka

um, boats? Or water mounts, whatevs. Step into water, hit mount button, and instead of swim animation get row animation. Neat, right? So much water in the game, so much coin to make selling skins... GW2 did this 10 years after release. Never too late, right?

The Three Banners War is literally what this game is centered on and PVP complements it well. I can assure you there are many who enjoy the PVP aspect of the game. You already have a dozen PVE provinces.

Maybe a PVE version while at the same time leaving the PVP version as is with PVE centered quests in the new version.

Fester82

I second the wayshrine inside the home. Take my money now! Plus the ability to change my looks.
