There was supposed to be RP phase which you can select when logging in which would only allow others who selected this option to be in your phase in the whole Tamriel.

This, however was postponed due some issues and i have not heard anything after launch that hints this is still in progress.

I think i read back then that it would come later (TM) but i would like to know a bit about if this is still worked on..

    It was postponed? I thought it was scrapped along with the questionnaire.

    4. Cyrodiil Guild Stores

    And there's definitely more that I'm forgetting or never knew about.

    The first time I heard about Ultimates, they talked about a Frost Atronach plummeting from the sky and sending everything sprawling. As awesome as the stormy we ended up getting is, it still feels lame in comparison to my imagined awesomeness of the previous incarnation.
    Oh, and that questionnaire we could fill out that placed us with like-minded people. Oooh, and social media integration.

    Social Media integration is a big one. I totally forgot.

    And when you mentioned Ultimates, it also reminded me of the class ultimates that were removed.

    There is hope for if chat bubles truly are coming, they were not talked much and even hinted not possible but this is also something i can not be sure of as it was on another forum post.

    The actual questionaire would be great.

    Social media integration is one feature I'm always glad when it's missing.
    You know, I'd never use this feature, but I don't have a problem with it being there - as long as it's hidden in the settings, not pushed on me on every occasion like all these Share and +1 buttons.

    Those features would have made this game so much better and really put it ahead of the competition. Instead we get level cap increases and guild vendors. I'm pretty sure that if ZOS just took a few simple polls they'd realize what we actually want in this game.

    So many features missing i agree with :)

    But mostly i was interested about separating us roleplayers from other type of players and better yet if it truly could be made in a way so that differs greatly from other games "RP Realms" "RP servers" and such.

    Why? Id like to get amount of other players in this phase as small as possible so that truly would been an RP thingy. So many RP supposed instalments in other games are infested with players that just clicked something or wanted to troll roleplayers or just show no respect at all to lore friendly naming policies.

    Only game thus far has been LOTRO where this is done in a good way, there is other players that dont roleplay, granted but all are named correctly and moderation of the server makes it stay that way.

    Bote that i do not have anything against other types of players but i would just love to be on Tamriel where people are named correctly, playing is as immersive as it can be and the population is such, that it is "realistic" to the setting. When i meet someone on my travels, i would love them to have at least enough consideration to not lol at you when you greet them or ask direction in Rp kind of style or troll you if you just enjoy walking from place a to b.

    This game would be great platform for proper roleplay but it needs some separation from other players so that it stays as it should.

    Agree.
    I saw visions of a bunch of alterate phases with alterate rules/gameplay for us players to choose from, to get to play how we really want. I had wet dreams about a heavily enforced open world RP-PvP phase AoC style where the world is open to all, no factions and no Cadwells Silver/Gold. The only friends you have are the ones you make.

    No, this implementation would of been great, it was going to look at your friends from Facebook, twitter, ect. and make sure you were always in the same instance with those people so meeting up with people you know would of been easier.

    I can't take you seriously when you use "of" instead of "have".

    Pretty much what i hoped for too. Something like EVE online offers but in Tamriel. Guards would replace concord. Safety of zones would rely on how near cities are, guards heavily enforce peace in cities, roads are patrolled and such stuff.

    Nothing against factions basically but they should not restrict anything but determine where you are from.. At least i can start with any race in any faction but i hoped that for everyone too but most interesting would be that RP phase at this moment :)

    The day I have to share my game with Facebook and Twitter is the day I stop playing that game.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    You mean racial ultimates I think. Although this is one decision I personally agree with, balancing is all kinds of screwed up as it is already, with passsive racials alone.

    Pretty sure that's not happening. The RP community is well established on all 3 factions now though so its not even needed. If you need help finding people you could go to teso-rp.com

    It gives me warm fuzzies all over when people read the whole thread. Heck, the post directly above yours would have been a start.

    Sure it is needed to get more strictly moderated phase for those who want to fully immerse themselves to the world of Tamriel.

    One good example is naming, then there is trolling and lolling and other things and this would only make RP better since you can be more sure that passersbt are also RP players so you dont have to "Fear" to engage them in conversation or some other activity.

    PS: I am so glad we can stay on topic this well, it was not about missing features or social networking integration but of RP phase and possibly stuff that relates to that.
