So you would not fix bugs?
This thread is about if you were on the dev team. It is your job to add/ fix TESO. Your boss walks by and asks, "so what do you have for me today?" Your answer would be...

I would add a new (third) resource pool to the game called "Agility" or "Mobility". All currently stamina based defensive abilities would be moved to this resource immediately. This includes Blocking, Dodging, CC Breaking, Sprinting, and anything else I'm forgetting.

I would then explain to my boss that this is part of the rebalancing of Stamina usage in the game. Stating that I was currently working on revamping the stamina based weapon skill lines for viability with changes including but not limited to the addition of ultimates, adjusting of damage values, and additions of more "utility" based abilities (Roots, AoE, stuns, defensive buffs) to the lines.

Finally I would let my boss know that I parked my Ferrari in his spot today... as my contributions have been noticed by the higher ups as the saviour to the game and his services (or lack thereof) would soon no longer be required.

Lkory

Net Code. No lagging in pvp, no players getting booted or soft freezes.

Crisscross

Make weapon skills good.

Vendersleigh

Housing.

No change. I like what I see and read.

Also, any other change then what they have planned can mess up the rest.

This is exactly what I would post if I wanted ESO to fail.

"The game is perfect. Would not change a thing."

I'd either do a pass on all skills to make them viable with rule-of-cool, or design a large, expansive Trial that devours players tears based around High Hrothgar.

I was thinking something similar for stamina but do we really need another resource? Would having infinite block/roll/cc break really be a bad thing If block was fixed so that you couldn't ability spam while holding it? I think this model would lengthen fights and add a little more strategy to pvp.

More players in PVP... I love PVP, but sometimes it seems a little desolate. Perhaps, consolidating the current number of Cyrodiil instances to improve player pop?

Isnt that what they said they are gonna do? And shorten the 90 days to 30?

I also think Cyrodiil will be much more populated when they find that little gremlin that gets people to lag.

I say this because I am one who never ever liked PvP, but battles in Cyro are amazing!

I am confident it will be fixed.

I would tear up the whole VR concept and replace it with a continuation of the main story at a moderate but not increased level of difficulty that could be met by 'playing how we like'.

Making it resourceless would probably require them to completely redo all of the abilities, not just blocking.

If you could eternally spam forward roll (which does evade abilities if time correctly) all we would see is people ninja rolling their way across Cyrodil.

CC break is pretty self explanatory, that would essentially invalidate almost all the CCs in the game its capable of breaking (which is almost all of them).

I think they would need a resource pool of some kind, and it shouldn't have to be tied with either resource pool the player is using for his/her abilities.

Being an un-itemized new resource pool also allows them to completely control the frequency that these moves can be done. Currently players with max stamina and max stam regen can use these abilities a good bit more/more often than magicka builds can (not that this justifies building for stamina or anything).

I agree with your idea though, the less complicated the UI the better and having to keep track of another pool could be annoying, but without that all the current defensive moves would be subject to this:



Edited for grammatical errors, mistakes, name omissions, sinful confessions, goverment scandal cover ups, and anything else I deemed you unworthy of reading. Oh.. and a few typos.

I'd implement global cooldown on skills

Sallakat

As a healer that was used to targeting heals to different people in need, I would like to see at least one single target heal to spice things up.Spamming aoe can get a bit boring if a fight is not really mechanical. I would implement it to the resto skill line to be accessible for every class.

But rolling, cc break plus block (if fixed) all have animation times. Rolling doesn't evade everything and cc break leaves you stationary and locked into the animation for the duration. Nothing would need to be redone, players would simply need to adapt to the new play style.
This combined with a balancing of dps for weapons and stam builds would become viable

NakedSnake

Memory leak is priority number one. Getting tired of this crap.

Ragekniv

Balance sustained DPS and resource mechanics of all classes!

Dayv

I'd like to say the mechanics, but I think some of them are too established now to change in any significant way,

If you could implement one change to the game mechanics, architecture, graphics or sound of TESO, What would it be? Please limit your suggestions to one change per post. You are the dev so pitch your patch.

Make absolutely no instances solo-only. Instead, allow and facilitate player choice.

That's it.

OrangeTheCat

The one thing I would fix: efficient searching of guild stores. First, enable it. Second, get rid of whatever is causing that annoying "waiting on previous..." message whenever you try to make a deposit.

Bromburak

Raising Softcap for Magicka/Stamina 40 points per Vet level.

Kalman

I would ban everyone with the word naked in thier username.

LOL, I was actually surprised at how liberal they are with naming. Im still waiting for the other shoe to drop with some of my alts names.

AngryWolf

Getting stuck with green armor and not tying armor dying to achievements making it even worse. I don't why it's so hard. I've never seen green armor in my life. Well, there was that drunken night in Ireland...

Swordguy

get rid of classes ffs (and as an added bonus, educate idiots that think they know how to program why it shouldn't be hard to remove classes at this point).
