Zenimax, work on these instead of Craglorn

WhitePawPrints

Why are you continuing on with this Craglorn, forced group instances? A vast majority of the community hates it! A vast majority of the community has left because of it, and the current subscribers are still hating it!

Stop! Scrap everything that has the word "Craglorn" in it.

I stopped playing this game because I cannot play with friends. That is the basics of any multiplayer game, is to play with friends! MMO expands on that idea, but you destroyed the core concept.

Forced Solo Instancing for the Main Quests, Fighters Guild Quests and Mages Guild Quests is the dumbest idea for an MMO ever!

Forced Group Instancing is equally bad. I want to play with friends, not with random players that I do not like and could care less about. I played in groups in my guilds, where the group leaders are idiots and take forever to progress from one mob to the next; I've played with groups where the group leader is self-entitled, yelling at players to "do what crown says or leave"; I've joined PUGS where people split off and do random things; I've led groups where people simply don't listen or have any common sense. Playing with groups of more than a few people, it is NOT fun. It's annoying!

STOP with this Craglorn crap, especially when you have so many damn bugs that this game would have flopped if it were not for the Elder Scrolls title.

If you want to add new content while your technical team works on the bugs and server crap, then add any of the following:

1. Player Housing, Very Highly Requested.
2. More Mounts (i.e. Battle Senche)
3. More Alchemy Options (i.e. Dyes, Poisons, World Interactive (Animal Deterrants, Deadra Deterrants, anything!)
4. More Style Motifs
5. Unique Item Artwork (Tired of Ancient Elf stuff looking the same no matter the level.)
6. More Crafting Tables (that are NOT LOCKED behind Craglorn garbage)
7. More Character Creation Options (Digitigrade Style Khajiit, More Facial Hair Options, More Tattoo Options, etc.)
8. Underwater zones (On Any Coastline)
9. Naval Boats to Travel On (Even Guild Controlled Boats for a Home Base/ PVP Naval Battles in the Sea)
10. Exclusive questlines to worship specific Deadra/Aedra (Become a Devoted Follower, instead of jack of all trades when it comes to doing god questlines.)
11. Craftable Costumes
12. Thieves Guild (Stop Promising it, and DO IT!)
13. Dark Brotherhood (Stop Promising it, and DO IT!)
14. Companions Skill Line (Exclusive)
15. Dueling!
16. Elder Scroll Themed Holidays! (Quit asking your RP community to do the work for you!)
17. More Emotes! (Easy to do, most animations are already in the game!)
18. Unarmed Skill Line, Very Highly Requested
19. More, UNIQUE, dungeons.
20. Making Veteran Zones a Spy/Sabotage mission for your faction rather than this recycle, alternative universe garbage.

STOP with Craglorn. Scrap any future plans of development for that garbage now! ANY of the above will be better than more ZONE garbage that forces groups to even do them!

Lol you again. There's plenty of threads for each item in your list already.

BBSooner

Yeah, no more group content, WE NEED MORE EMOTES ZOS.

Scratch that, remove some of the restrictions to grouping/quest progression in craglorn and you're golden, ZOS. Thanks.

Zorrashi

Well you're a persistent one....I swear its only been less than 10 minuets and I see you making another thread laced with so much anger.

jluceyub17_ESO

You complain that you left the game because you can't group with friends, but then you complain about the content that is designed to be played with a group?
I agree with player housing and a wider variety of mounts, but more crafting tables? Why? And what tables are locked behind "Craglorn Garbage"? You can sneak around mobs to get to any of the Crafting Set locations.
Also dueling and themed holidays have been implemented by the players so why should the devs focus on something that exists when you can already find it on your own?

Maulkin

Funny how you have a list 20 items you think the devs should absolutely focus on, and I couldn't care less for 19 of them

Each to their own I guess

Gedalya

In B4 thread closed: pointless bickering. Also OP, you do not speak for the community. A number of us are enjoying Craglorn; and the games numbers are not suffering.

The suggestions aren't bad but most (all) of them have already been posted elsewhere. Anyway, is the PR team even reading them anymore?

I disagree with you on Craglorn though. ESO needs an endgame area with content for groups of 12 players.
If you don't like force-grouping, simply don't go to Craglorn. Feel free to grab the shards, it's doable with 1 or 2 players, and go back to the Vet Dungeons or Cyrodiil. There are no skill points and no advantages whatsoever in playing in Craglorn if you don't like that content.

clayandaudrey_ESO

You missed "please make it so I can hide my vampirism". Your list would then be complete.

Hi, folks. We wanted to let you know that we've removed several comments that violated out Code of Conduct from this thread. Please keep in mind that no body wins when tempers run high and that if you do not have anything constructive to add to a thread, please refrain from posting at all and move on.

That said, @WhitePawPrints, we can assure you that we are hard at work on several of your suggestions, including adding additional mounts, motifs, the Thieves Guild, and the Dark Brotherhood. Additionally, we are glad to read your other suggestions and any constructive conversation that follows.

Like we said, we've removed several posts from this thread in the hopes that it will turn into a constructive conversation so that we can leave the thread open. Thank you for your understanding.

Some good ideas, not original but still good… some just silly.

To bad the OP has to come across they way he/she/it does.

Yes, Craglorn's "forced… unable to share… very hard to group… or even find people with or on same stage… questing" needs a very LARGE rethinking.

The rest of what was spewed in the initial post is either being worked on, commented on, discussed at summits and/or in bi-weekly videos…

Some of it probably plain ain't happening… deal with it.

1. Confirmed, is something they want to implement and will, just not any time soon. (speculation late 2015 early 2016)
2. They have commented on more mounts and is something they are doing (I suspect a mount will be the 6months reward for the loyalty system)
3. YES YES YES
4. More styles are already being implemented 1.5 brings Dwemer, and which ever patch comes Imperial City (1.7/8)it'll have the Xivkyn motif (Imperial Daedric)
5. YES!, I agree, and I think the unique part should come from the crafters. If I am a High Elf race who is crafting, I strongly believe that the High Elf style should look unique as it's my race, I should excel at that style more so than any other.
6. Yes and No, I would love to see more player created sets (ones that have better stats) but they should be locked behind some sort of gate. Releasing content that is opened to everyone without having to actually do anything defeats the purpose of the game. Why play if it's handed to you?
7. Yes, in the form of a barbershop or similar idea.
8. This'll be happening, I suspect some sort of expansion to the game, possibly Patch 3.0 (2.0 will be the champion system (i suspect)
9. Meh..(personal opinion)
10. Sort of already in the game (Vampire). So more of an expansion on this allowing us to solely worship Meridia (proving bonuses to healing done as well as an added skill line) (guess this could be argued (in a broad way) the mundus stones do this..
11. YES!! more reasons to find a crafter.
12. Already being done... But won't be discussed until Champion System and Justice Systems have launched.
13. Same as 12
14. Meh.
15. YES!!!!, I been asking for this prior to launch
16. Same as 15
17. Meh
18. Meh, but I like the idea
19. Meh, I'd just like longer epic dungeons (specifically trials) (4-mans are already improving from what they were and are offering unique mechanics, so that makes me happy
20. YES, I hate the 50+/50++ content. It RUINS any faction pride we built during the 1-50 levels.



ADDED
21. More unique classes to the specific factions, or unique skill trees., I hate the fact I have to hate DKs on my side as well as DKs on the opposing factions. I miss having to HATE Enchanters and their filthy little pets, or Nightshades because they always felt more OP than my Shadowblade. I want to hate ALDMERI DOMINION, not Yellow or Banana, or whatever non faction related name. Bring in mechanics that will instill the players with pride for their faction and hatred for all those who do not swear alliance to their King/Queen

KingRebz

Good threat, at least hes thinking for the "road ahead"..

WraithAzraiel

So much anger and hate.

So you're basically raging over stuff that isn't out because the game's only 6 months old?

Relax dude, it'll come in time.

TheBull

Not a bad list except for the housing. No one plays or stays in a game for instanced housing. See Wildstar. Housing is a huge wast of resources imho.

WraithAzraiel

And WildStar is going the way of the Titanic apparently. So much so they're laying people off.

Salacious

Zenimax needs to STOP DOING GROUP BASED CONTENT all together and give you the option to group.

Example:

Zone quest - if you group it scales, scales the reward, scales the difficulty - think GW2, the more people, the harder it becomes the better (in some cases) the loot.

IMPLEMENT ACTUAL ES CONTENT - like stated, theives guild, dark brother hood (dont mess up the darkbrother hood, in every es game I believe you had to kill some one or multiple people before you got a note - dont let me walk up to them all willy nilly and join)

BALANCE/BUG FIX - should be number 1. STOP ALL DEVELOPMENT ON EVERYTHING UNTIL THIS IS 100% COMPLETE. (do you guys not unit test the basic code? have proper play through and a proper QA team? like come on now)

thanks

whiteshadow711jppreub18_ESO

I like the OP's list, I want to see this as well..

Ragefist

Its really quite nice summary, shame the OP posted this in such maner, it looses value because of it and many people might not take it seriously

This... It would kill me inside if I could just walk up and join (or even locate) a secretive group of assassins without AT LEAST proving that I have the capability to not ruin all their plans and expose them completely first...
