Road Signs

Hello everyone,
I have just got the idea that it would be great if developers could add Road Signs and City Name Panels to the world as it was made once for Skyrim. I think it would give the game really nice feel of realism while you travel around the world. Would be nice to see actual name of the city when you approaching that. Also nice idea about zone signs like "welcome to Stormhaven" etc. with the flags of that particular zone. I know it's just a little thing but it would be nice to see it in game as it could be also very helpful during travelling. What's your opinion?

✭I would love road signs. Less use of the map.Dear Sister, I do not spread rumors, I create them.9 -

I would love road signs. But lets expand the idea a little more.
Roads: When traveling along a road a player receives a 25% speed buff.18 -
This would be a great addition, especially in the Valenwood. How does anyone get anywhere?4 -
lecarcajou_ESO✭✭✭✭Totally love it! Road signs are not only useful, in my opinion they add a lot of atmosphere, too."Morally Decentralized."7 -
DogFaceInBananaPatch✭✭✭✭This a billion times! Yes.
I run without using the map (unbound) and no compass (AddOn) and no quest markers. So signs would be a huge improvement.4 -
mrmajkl✭✭I am really happy you like this idea! I can imagine it might be hard work to install it everywhere but I hope developers can see this

✭I wholeheartedly agree. The design of the game is as if they expect us to run blindly between quest markers. Road signs have been a staple of ES games, and I see no reason why they wouldn't fit in ESO. It would make the exploration of a new zone a lot more immersive and make the game world feel more like someone actually lived there. I would probably still use the map, but it would be nice not to have to use it all the time.

✭Make main roads more distinct than side trails. Currently, there isn't enough distinction on most maps.
Provide road signs to help travelers.
Add a speed boost while on main roads (love that idea).
And add more random events along the roads, including bandit ambushes, radiant 'help me' quests, etc.Ruze Aulus. Mayor of Dhalmora. Archer, hunter, assassin. Nightblade.
Gral. Mountain Terror. Barbarian, marauder, murderer. Nightblade.
Na'Djin. Knight-Blade. Knight, vanguard, defender. Nightblade.

He mained a nightlbade when nightblades weren't good, and has never worn a robe. He converted from PC during the console betas, and hasn't regretted it a moment since.
He'd rank ESO:TU (in it's current state) a 4.8 out of 5, loving the game almost entirely.
This is an multiplayer game. I should be able to log in, join a dungeon, join a battleground, queue for a dolmen or world boss or delve, teleport in, play for 20 minutes, and not worry about getting kicked, failing to join, having perfect voice coms, or being unable to complete content because someone's lagging behind. Group Finder and matchmaking is broken. Take a note from Destiny and build a system that allows from drop-in/drop-out functionality and quick play.2 -

I admittedly know next to nothing about it, but if these signs are non-interactive (in other words, largely decorative) objects, it would surprise me if installing them should pose great technical hurdles.

✭Yep, remember more than a few times in Skyrim I would navigate by the road signs and not using the map, felt really immersive !

Elad13✭✭✭I'm surprised they have roads at all...This type of highway roads they have now seem unrealistic....I'd rather see signs/markers and more wagon paths...and narrow trails...especially more dirt and muddy types in cities.0

Csub✭✭✭✭✭Brilliant idea, same as the speed bonus on the road and distinctive main roads and more random events on the roads. Would love to see them in game!"The Divines gave you a nose for a reason, Tharn. So you can keep your mouth shut and still keep breathing. - Lyris Titanborn0 -
Archaole✭✭✭They had roads signs in Morrowind and Oblivion as well. Would totally fit in this game.2

Aeradon✭✭✭✭✭Yes please.
Together with the stars in the skies which would help in navigation.
A Tamriel time clock would help as well. I prefer to look at the sky rather than the compass.Edited by Aeradon on July 21, 2014 4:59AMPeople keep telling me they're gonna buy me an ale. They never do.

✭✭Agree completely - road signs somehow make a place out in the middle of nowhere look more lived-in.1 -
kijima✭✭✭✭✭
✭Agreed, road signs would be great.
Added to that, more define roads. In Oblivion/Skyrim ( I know they are not an MMO so don't start that with me ) the roads were a lot more obvious, it was easy to see you were travelling on a road and there was more friendly NPC traffic too.
Both of those things would be good at adding atmosphere to an already great game, Cyrodiil definitely needs something like this too.Been here since Feb 2014 - You'd think I'd be half reasonable at this game by now...
