Something Constructive.

Grasshopper

So I have been thinking,

"If you could add one feature to the game, what would it be?"

Here is a quote to help ZOS understand why I am even making this thread

"If you sit a madmen down and listen to him ramble sometimes he spouts the most brilliant insights"
-Sheogorath on the Folium Discognitum

In this case the madmen are us and the place we are rambling is the forums c:

Rules:

1. You cannot mention what someone else has mentioned here
2. Do not dwell on the negative (IE: glitch fixes, sometime to fix a problem. those should be submitted in game)
3. You should only post one idea, this way you shoot out the idea you are most behind.

This will help us move forward, I cannot enforce it in anyway, but it helps to keep things constructive.

So one thing I found to be quite a weakness in the grouping system is not the ability to join group of higher level, but to join groups of lower level than yours. We all have friends in game and if they are lower level it is sometimes no fun for them to play with us because we just 1 shot the enemies.

If you have not notice they are adding a system where dungeons will scale with the leader of the group, but i recommend something also where it does just the opposite.

A dungeon OR a group should have the characters scale to the leader instead if they are a higher level.

Meaning if i was vet12 and i grouped with a friend who was level 32, i would become level 32 temporarily (if we so choose). Playing with friends and guild members is a huge draw to the MMO franchise and having no scaling might restrict users.

I understand this might not be possible right now, but for group play it is worth a look. Keep in mind this is not the only way of tackling this problem also.

More closure after Coldharbour. Some kind of closing quest chain after you beat Molag Bal and the Planemeld where everyone acknowledges what happened and picks up and goes home and rebuilds. Maybe some of them choose to stay in the Hollow City. Just something besides the 2 npcs in the Cathedral who are the only ones that acknowledge the aftermath.

I'd actually love to have a huge event happen in Tamriel.

Just where maybe a daedric prince might open up the sky and cause fire storms or something crazy like that. It'd happen over the whole continent for maybe 3 days or a week and new mobs would spawn just for that time period and give unique loot. Something that'd change up the whole world just for a small time period, nothing permanent.

I know the game is new and totally unstable for the time being, PvP was unplayable for over two weeks after the addition of a small lighting effect, but it'd be pretty cool way down the line.

Azzuria

Rework Veteran rank quests in opposing faction lands to be spy-like, sabataging and undermining that opposing faction. Increased replayability.

Sighlynce

I would love for there to be a whole other beginning place for vets that continues the story . What happens after the battle for cyrodiil ? Dragons maybe ! Much harder quests and harder puzzles choices with consequences that effect our reward, where we use our brains as well as bronze !

Samadhi

Dedicated skill line for hand-to-hand combat pls.

jelliedsoup

No classes.

Jaxom

Deadric Invasions in Cyrodiil. Add a 4th component to the battlefield. This could potentially help servers which are one sided. You could use Aion as an example where the Baldour would retake keeps which werent player owned.

AlexDougherty

More motifs and styles to craft.
A better way to impart stats and enhancements to gear.

Kayira

You have something constructive in this forum? I think you got lost!

Back to the topic:

Other skill lines such as athletics and open hand and spears etc

BBSooner

World boss fights that take 20-30 people to complete. Randomly spawned in any zone.

Dragon shouts. Takes months of real time to learn, how amazing would it be to Fus-Ro-Dah in PvP?

Only Nords and Dragonborn can use Shouts, and there are no Dragonborn in this game. So it would be for one race only.

Ah, I didn't know it was only Nords. Thanks for the enlightenment!

Random world events, both in Cyrodiil and the rest of Tamriel.

Think the mini-anchors that spawn randomly as you walk around Tamriel. Usually you see 2-3 waves of daedric spawn and you get a mini-mini boss at the end. I want exactly this type of random event where you don't control it, you don't go to X location for it to spawn but in a new flavor. Just like Rifts in Rift, where big events take place randomly throughout the game world.

Right now the game feels a little too scripted with its events, it needs more randomness. How awesome would it be if a daedra army spawned in Cyrodiil as AD's tried to capture a keep from EP or DC. Don't think logistics, just imagine the OMG moments and fun that ensues. Or if random quests would spawn to unlock new lore lines or unique locations.

I think ESO just needs to have more of a real-life random factor where events are not so scripted.

I think ESO needs to raise the bar on PvE group content. I know there are some improvements in the pipeline, but I hope such improvements are prioritized and that they are continuing.

Right now my friends list is next to useless. Sure I have peeps on there, but I have yet, since early release, to meet back up with any of them. Why? Because many players don't feel there are practical reasons to repeat 4-man dungeons; running quests together is boring as its already a face roll solo; friends frequently make alts on other alliances.

So:

- Give players reasons to run 4-man dungeons regularly and make it where lower level dungeons scale so there is always reasons to re-run them even as you level.

- Allow players to scale personal quests so that if you team up with other players it is fun and challenging (right now, quests are already a face roll and there is ZERO reason to ever want someone to come along). Also, I think it would be cool to be able to run pre-50 quests with players from other factions.

Umm...spoiler alert.....

But didn't the Prophet show us a memory where Varen Aquilerios(or however the name is spelled) attempted to BECOME a dragonborn to light some kind of fires and rightfully sit the throne of emporer?

So there -are- dragonborn, insofar as they're not an unknown thing to this era/time but a player cannot become one.

Edit:

Almost forgot to mention the relevant idea I had for posting in this thread:

Player housing. Not tied to anything, either. You don't have to be in a guild, don't have to PvP, you can just purchase housing. And don't make it godsawful expensive, either.

Erlindur

Stop encourage (not forcing) me, to play the way you envisioned me to play. The only thing you accomplish, is that you encourage me to believe this is not the game for me. Follow your client's desires for a change.

Evergnar

You must work for Zos. Only get to pick one feature. Well, fine then.

I choose a new island called Market City where all races & factions gather to buy, sell, trade, drink, laugh, dual, and get naked. Housing would be located in close proximity as well.

Loco_Mofo

Balanced classes/builds.

Natjur

Dragons and other big ass FLYING mobs, that are hard to notice until they come down from the sky and say 'Hello' in their own special way.

smeeprocketnub19_ESO

Mentor Exp. An option to set aside a portion of your exp to buffer a friend's leveling. That way friends that aren't online as much could get a boost when they grind out exp.

@natjur There are dragons they just fly really really high up, and the ones that fly low to the ground are invisible!

Woolenthreads

Akaviri Invasion Raid between Craglorn and Rivenspire for PVE but done like Cyrodill in needing to capture/hold towers/forts/towns to finish. Event style, last perhaps 3 months because the Akaviri have realised that with turmoil comes opportunity. Any faction can join, require groups or at least masses.

My personal thoughts on the Spy vs Spy concept: Have one person take the mantle of Spymaster (most successful point maker from previous Op) who gets a list of choices for the next Spy Operation and sets limited options for success.

Ojustaboo

More puzzles (ones you really have to think about)

and Persuade becoming a mini game/puzzle thingy where your not guaranteed to suceed.

Invisible Dragons.... that explains the lag!!! It was caused by a nearby invisible dragon!

DungeonGrind

Dungeons with endless levels, increasing difficulty and rewards for solo and 4 players. Similar to the planned arena PVE concept but with randomized dungeons. Key drops and chests at the end of each floor.

In addition, i want torches. Dark places in the dungeons that may require a torch on occasion.
