thechalkdust · May 8

Personally not psyched about the new "Season" structure and spending so many development cycles on class refresh, but maybe in the long-term this idea will eventually start turning out the kind of content players have long requested. We can already see that resource allocation constraints are forcing devs to choose limited projects for each Season. They may or may not consider what players want, but doing so would require knowing what players want. Let's find out!

What class of new content are YOU most interested in for future Seasons? If you were deciding where to allocate resources for one new thing, what are you adding to the game?

New Zones of Tamriel - Fill in that map!
New Zones beyond Tamriel - Drive our ships to new shores!
New Classes - Mechanist, Bard, Monk, Mariner, Shaman...
New Weapons - Unarmed, Spellsword (1H&Focus), Alteration, Illusion, & Conjuration staves
New Player Races - Maormer, Reachfolk, Naga, Akaviri
New PvP - Battle Royale (Shivering Isles?), extend Imperial city to the Ruby Isles & Abagarlas
New World Skills - Dragonguard passives, new guild, or new infection/curse (maybe Peryite-themed).
New Assistants/Furnishings - Wayshrine assistant (aka "Flying Mount"), Marketplace assistant (all guild store access), Stablemaster assistant (perhaps a quest reward like the Smuggler), Outfit, Alchemist, Provisioner, & Enchanter assistants... Furnishing Crafting Station
New Minigames - Housing, Scrying, Excavating, Tales of Tribute... you love the game-within-a-game. You want more, like playable versions of the board games seen in-world.
Fixes - Due to performance or other problems, the player experience is so bad for you that you just want fixes before any new content.

New Player Races

I'm also interested in the new PvP zone they plan to implement, but I really want a Maormer character.

New Zones of Tamriel

New races won’t happen because BGS won’t allow them to do that, most we will get is themed cosmetics for the current races. New zones will stick to tamriel/daedric realms for foreseeable future for the same reason. In terms of zones, Winterhold has been hinted at pretty heavily and if I had to guess might come along with Dawnstar. We got another PvP mode coming later this year described as a smaller scale of Cyro with keep warfare, along with the divisive venegance mode (though part of my wonders how much of the divisiveness came from it replacing the normal campaigns in the tests) along with the veterancy system. New skill lines and classes will not likely happen until all skill lines are updated. New assistants are all but guaranteed with crown store and tomes. New minigames would be nice, I would like to see some of the board games we can place in our homes become playable.

New Zones beyond Tamriel

Zones in and outside Tamriel.
- Pyandonea.
- the islands south of Valenwood.
- The Forgotten Vale.
- Central Elsweyr.
- Esroniet.

Player races.
- Maormer
- Reachfolk.
- Naga Argonian.
- Dagi, Pahmar, Ohmes Khajiit.

Classes.
i do not have any big ideas.
But would love classes with or themed to:
- Water magic
- Moonshadow/Azura
- Sanguine
- Dwemer and Clockwork
- Sheogorath.

Assistants
- Outfit.
- Furniture crafting? Not certain about this one, but it would be nice to have the furniture crafting from each station in one station or assistant similar to the Deconstruction assistants.
- Alchemy, they could wear the new Wandering Alchemist costume.
- Provisioning, could wear the upcoming Battlefield Provisioner outfit.

Minigames? Systems?
- Gardening in Housing.
- Animal Ranching or Befriending in Housing.
- Racing. Jousting.
- Photo Mode, like in infinity Nikki or so many other games with it.
- Companions groups, summoning multiple at the same time would be fun.
- Grimoires for Classes, Craft lines, Armour lines.

it is fun to talk about future stuff.
Hoping some of these things happen eventually.

I love all of these. A Furniture Crafting Station would be fantastic, along with furniture decon!

Yes, and fan service is easier if you know what fans want, right? Your ideas are excellent, adding them to the list.

New Zones of Tamriel

I started playing ESO because it would enable me to explore more of Tamriel (and Nirn) than any of the single-player games, and that priority hasn't changed, so new zones are always going to be my priority.

Indeed.

I also find new classes and races interesting, but when would I use them if there's no new zone to explore?

New Classes

I mean I voted classes but I don't want them thinking this one note. I want multiple things each year

Erickson9610 · 12:18AM

I want to see new Companions. Those don't really fall under the "Assistants" category, though.

I also want to see new systems. But, again, those don't cleanly fit within the "Minigames" category.

I'd like a new class, but not until they let us have more character slots. I don't want to have to delete any of mine.

New Zones of Tamriel

I do not understand new races. That would be so weird in this game since none of the other mainline games have more races than the 10. Everything else yes

Yeah but this game has fleshed out Maomer in a way the mainline games haven't. When they added orcs as a playable race it was after they got fleshed out. So it would make since for this game to be the first to add one in a while. Probably won't happen but it would make sense.

I voted "Fixes".
But I'm really interested also in "New Zones" in and outside Tamriel.
I would really appreciate a sub-water world area.

WinterHold, Whiterun, RiverWood. skyrim throat of the world for 12 player trial.

NO MORE WRITHING WALL event.

They need to reign in Subclass or better yet remove it completely. Combat is completely out of control and it affects everything in the entire game except maybe Tales of Tribute. It is impossible to want new character classes, mythic or gear sets at all because it will just get exploited and abused by the broken cherry picking system. Not to mention the people who have decided to leave in droves since its creation or the people who left this week because they aren't going to wait for their Necro or any other Class for that matter to be fixed after years have passed.

Nemesis7884 · 5:34AM

New Classes

Class (Dwemer engineer type pls), skill lines (1h+spell) and new zones would be my priorities

And PLEASE for the love of the nine more character slots!

RebornV3x · 5:53AM

New Zones of Tamriel

They need to fill out the map before we get anything else I don't mind if they make stuff up like Solstice but only after mainland Tamriel is fully in the game. I hate opening up my map and seeing these huge gaps in the map.

I am all about Fixes for balance (classes refresh, my dd magplar+tank pve&pvp is in the wait), but also for a travel to...Atmora.
(so New zone beyond Tamriel, count me in this, as well)

The first humans lived there - the Nords - the first humans, come from there (if you didn't know).

Yes it is unhabited and hostile now, but this should precisely add to the plot, if the story is nicely handled...like a giant Skyrim on steroids.

I heard that lots of people want an expand of skyrim in ESO, it can be this, a travel to the north. And a harsh world to (re) discover.

Why is it a death world now? What can be done? Can it be repopulated? Where lies the danger, who are the enemies? And so on.

New Zones of Tamriel

I'm all for new zones. Just something other than Skyrim. I'm honestly so sick of Skyrim. I know it was the entry point for many people and I loved the game, but that dead horse has been beaten so thoroughly it's a fine paste now. I'm sure Winter hold will be fun, but there are just so many cool things in the TES world what it feels like a cash grab every time we go back to Skyrim.

And I know we'll soon get snowstorms in Skyrim which would be cool, but frankly, I'd prefer sandstorms in Alik'r (not that the ESO engine could handle it)

Skyrim could be seen as a miniature of Atmora as you are talking about snowstorms in Skyrim.... Same Nord people, same culture. Did you get the analogy? I detected some irony.

OR maybie devs really talked about snowstorms, if so dismiss my post

yes ZOS has told us we are getting storms in Skyrim in Season 2.
it is also in the 2026 roadmap that they revealed in January.

here is a link to the March 31 Seasons Direct video.

https://youtu.be/itUbAx7_KbE?is=eiX-lYHRKa0ep_U7
First time they made it clear the storms would be blizzards, around 24 minutes into the video.
And the excursion zone they mention will likely be Winterhold as they mentioned that place in the January 7 video as well.

Cool! But did you see the length of your post? This is too much of a help for me.

edit: thank you very much

Exploring Akaviri would be wonderful. Maybe one day...
