"Turelus - Can we have an official (pinned) thread for small quality of life improvement suggestions? Basically little things that wouldn't require too much work but make our lives easier and ultimately make players happy.
Yes! We’d be happy to do this. Expect us to set up this thread next week."

We didn't get this thread, but we can start an unofficial thread.

Summary

Character

- Let me change the order of characters on the character select screen.
- Give us lizard and cat skeletons (frustrating that my skele form is human)
- Switch the Stage timers on vampires so that Stage 1 lasts 90 minutes and Stage 3 lasts 30 minutes, the exact opposite of what it is now.
- Black hair for Altmer would improve my quality of life immensely.
- All the available hair colors for all of the races.
- I would like to make my Argonian's and Khajiit's tails longer or shorter (something like a bobtail or the loss of one to a Wamasu)
- More tattoos...
- Rearrange Character Order / Last played character on top.

HUD

- Player Class Symbols
- A clientside toggle to disable buff/debuff VFX
- Some indication of how many items we can still fence each day.
- SHIFT+LMB markers set by leaders should not disappear at random (upon new members entering the group).
- CTRL+LMB markers set by non-leaders in a group should last a bit longer.
- Show class icons next to healthbars by default (this is currently an add-on requirement).
- Optional health/resource numbers on health bars (currently an add-on requirement).
- UI shows percentages for crit, penetration etc. as well as full values.

Combat, CP, Skills, Skill bar

- Mark the target, all party member target same enemy. For example someone press Ctrl + T, mark the target, other party members press T and every1 is the same target.
- completely different PvP and PvE profiles (CP, attribute points, etc.)
- Preset Champ Point Configurations
- I want more detailed tool tips.
- The unlearned skills' exp bar would be gray colour too.
- Change single skills/morphs (or even just the skill line), for a smaller fee, rather than 3000 gold to undo the whole lot.
- Have more weapon bars / builds so that we can select from a list of say 5 ? Instead of having to drag & drop skills everytime we need to do something different... So we just select the build we want.
- Favourite skills view, in the skill window. To find easily all frequently used skills.
- Make every morph respecable individually.
- Show the rank gained of all morphs instead of showing them all at rank 1.

Bank, Guild Bank, Inventory

- Deposit/withdraw all function for Tel Var Stone and gold.
- More filters in the Quickslots
- Crafting bag
- Guild Banks stuck reloading endlessly. Been a problem since launch, still no fix.
- Better organization for inventories.
- I would like to see an autos tach feature in guild banks
- Lock items in inventory so they aren't accidentally deleted or sold.
- Better inventory management for crafters. I.e. more space just for crafting materials.
- Create "folders" inside bank & guild bank for items ( not just having them arranged alphabetically ).
- Create a lock on items so that you cannot withdraw them from your bank / guild bank.
- Create a lock on items so that you cannot deconstruct them ( there are addons for this but it would be better if it were built in the game ).
- Wardrobe / trophy tab in bank to add picked up things that waste inventory space for hoarders ( I have recently deleted all mine, some of them I have kept since launch ).
- I would rather have a separate crafting storage feature added the the account bank.
- Guild bank item stacking returned.
- Stackable siege equipment.
- Making retreat sigils account wide.
- Increase maximum player bank space to 350 or more.
- Increase maximum stack size for all stackable items to around 5k.
- Guild bank auto stacking. Long overdue.
- Guild bank tabs with permissions. Long overdue.

Guild

- Default guild option
- Guild roster adjustment
- I'd like to see a mini posting board included in Guild tab, where you can post WTB or events or do setup prep for group runs.
- Rearrange Guild Order.

Guild Traders, Merchants

- Change the bidding time so it's not early morning on maintenance day.
- Better search tool for guild stores
- Give the automated junk selling popup the correct focus. When you go to a merchant to sell your junk, the popup appears on top. Pressing Alt to close it, instead closes the dialog with the merchant leaving the popup.
- Stack items inside the guild bank without having to remove them first.
- Siedge merchants at Cyrodiil. Reorder the items, pls.

Mail, Contacts

- Reply for mail
- Sent mail list so we can see who we sent stuff to.
- Fix the "snail mail" so we don't have to zone to receive purchases
- Mail taking forever to be delivered.
- Save, or favourite, mail contacts that we use often.
- Add what exactly was sold (quantity) and what guild sold it in Mail.

Hirelings

- Change the timing so you don't lose a mail pickup every so often.

Craft

- Crafted Potions should be green, so that we no longer accidentally destroy tripots just because they have the same name as the basic garbage health pots
- The ability to change the look of our crafted gear. If we created it in a particular motif style, but later want to change it, we should be able to change the style. My tank has Armor Master and every pc of gear has a Hakeijo on it (less wpns). I will never craft this set again just to change the look to something new and different. As a Master Crafter I want the ability to re-motif my own crafted gear.
- Crafting preview. Flagging players with symbols that only you can see. I have papa crown, but when there are multiple things happening in trials, I'd like to flag certain people
- Gear preview for crafting/buying.
- While deconstructing,
- I tend to deconstruct items i want to keep from the bank along with the usual junk.
- Id like an option to sort items depending on if theyre in the bank or not.
- Or id like it to show what are my bank and my bag item without having to mouse over each individual item to check.
- Adding craft multiple options to provisioning and alchemy tables.
- At craft tables give an option to display your applicable writ for that table.
- I would like to be able to change the look of equiped gear to something I have already discovered(there's a term for this but I can't recall it)
- I'd like to see some kind of crafting research log in your journal. So you can see which traits and motifs you've researched without having to go to a craft station.
- Just allow us to select the level of a writ we wish to craft if Maxed
- Allow players to turn in crafting writs at any delivery site.

Dungeon

- I would like the option to stay in a dungeon after everyone in my group finder group leaves. What keeps happening is, im doing a dungeon for the first time, we beat it, everyone in my group leaves, and i get a timer before i get kicked out. I have to rush to collect my skill point before i get kicked out. Dont even get time to read what the npcs have to say.

Mounts

- Option to purchase say a week's worth of lessons at once.
- Remove the 1 horse tarining a day restriction!!! makes starting alts intolerable!!!
- Mounting during combat (I get stuck in combat all the time and have to walk everywhere for a minimum of 5 minutes after every confrontation. It's the worst in Cyrodiil and it's a pointless restriction.)
- Swimming mounts

Gear

- Toggle on those flappy bits on armor, the crotch and side flaps. Toggle on shoulders. Just some of those things look really silly on my cloth armor which basically looks like clothes with floating flaps.
- Toggle OFF option for hip flaps, shoulders, and crotch and butt flaps. Just as we have for helms. Feel free to call them "side tassets" and "front and back tassets."
- Items list the value and equivalent percentage when talking about attributes/secondary attributes.

Costumes

- Costume/transformation
- Dye costumes
- Disguises acquired during quests awarded as costumes on quest completion and placed in the Costume tab rather than taking up valuable bag space.
- Take off costumes fast way (hotkey)
- Disguises become Costumes after their quest

Items

- Laundered stolen items no longer bound so they can be traded and mailed. Yes, it's an RP thing.
- Weekly Trial reward deliveries fixed for good.
- Collectables drop from all levels of monsters just like hides.
- Replace all the white, useless items found in containers that have 0 value and don't return any materials when deconstructed by a stackable item called "trash" or "junk" with a value of 0 or 1 gold.

Crown store

- An in-browser crown store?
- Wearable crowns and costume headgear that is craftable but bound to account.

Other

- Popular add-ons for console. I know we are about to get a dmg log of some sort. But I would love an FTC style dmg report. I would also love some of the other QoL add-ons our PC brethren get. Make it a console add-on DLC for all I care, just offer it to us.
- Implement functions of the following addons in the game's basic UI: "Item Saver, Advanced Filters, Awesome Guildstore (guild store search interface), Combat Log Statistics (combat log), Multi Craft, No thank you!".
- Racial mixes. Khajiit has a Breton grandpa, can have some choices in racials. Still looks the same. Greater race/build diversity will open up the game and make it more fun. Also for those with a RP backstory of mixed race, this is great.
- Destroy the launcher icon after closing launcher.
- /played command 2.0, show the whole account not only the current character.
- Day and night of equal length. 3 hours and 3 hours, unlike the 4 hours of daylight and only 2 of darkness we have now.
- Lengthen the Idle Timer (1 hour seems most favourable).
- Remove/Fix/Revert the changes which cause you to "slide" down walls when you jump into them.
- Clicking outside the client doesn't break teleport/travel when in window mode.
- Faster login
- Duelling
- Account wide achievements
- Longer nights
- Group damage meters
- Remove the horrific "sliding" effect when jumping on things. Why can't I jump on a rock or roof without either sliding slo-mo off of it or worse..getting stuck for 15 seconds in mid-air and losing control of my character?
- The ability to save and load preference profiles which could include:
- chat options (tabs, font colours, etc.)
- UI scale
- Keyboard/controller settings
- Camera settings
- Sound settings

First idea:

Party target. (press T)
Someone press Ctrl + T, mark the target, other party members press T and every1 is the same target.

ChuckyPayne

Idea: Deposit all function for Tel Var Stone and Gold

Molag_Crow

Idea: Player Class Symbols

I'd like to hover over player's characters to see what class they are. It can be disabled in PvP for all I care - I'd just like to see the little class symbol next to a players name when I hover my cursor over them. I'm on console btw, I'm sure an addon covers this already which is why I'd personally like to see it put in the game by default someday.

ChuckyPayne

Idea: Default guild option.

When u press G, you see that guild by default
When u open guild bank, u see that guild bank by default
When u open guild store, u see that guild store by default

I'm on PC,and I havent seen a mod for this yet.I would love it if they made one though.I,too,like to see what class other players are.I see them do a really cool spell and wonder what class has it.

Been thinking about this, too, lol
Glad somebody else took on the task of maintaining it tho


Mail:

I know there's more but I can't think of them atm. Will amend as I remember stuff.

Costume/transformation: Nereid, Khajiit, Elf, Argonian, Nord etc. Costumes are so boring atm, at least this would make them cool. Also, we need to be able to dye costumes.

ChuckyPayne

Idea. Destroy the launcher icon after closing launcher.

The launcher icon is in the notification area, but if u close it, the icon don't dissapear. If u run 4 times the launcher there are 4 icon. etc.

You mean like you can already do with rally points?

Edit: Apparently you can't do rally points on console :O so you have my full support, this is absolutely shocking!

ChuckyPayne

Idea: 2 champion point setup

One for PVE, One for PVP
It would be very useful if we don't need change every day every time when we change between PVP and PVE.

Black hair for Altmer would improve my quality of life immensely.

Seriously though, can we please have a better search tool for guild stores? Like the addon Awesome Guild Store.

idea: More filters in the Quickslots

There are 3 filters: All/Slotable items, Collectible
- Separate Costumes, pets
- Separate Alchemy potions, food, drink
- Maps, Siedge weapons

My apologies, I was speaking of PC version, on which it is possible. I have checked for you but according to this thread http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en-GB/discussion/165329/map-rally-point-for-your-group, it would seem that they didn't add this feature for console... Ouch.

Marrtha

I call this a thread of wishes. Or a thread of things never coming true. Or maybe a thread that will be ignored by the devs.

They really need to put a rush on this. It can't wait for DB. The amount of armor sets, cmon.

Additionally...

Slim down the torso on some of the female costumes to reduce the barrel chest effect.

Let me change the order of characters on the character select screen.

Increase the inactivity timeout on the character select screen so that it is at least as long as the current in-game inactivity timeout.

Moonscythe

I second

changing the order of characters on character select

and black hair for Altmer

and the crafting bag (though I don't want it in the crown store)

While deconstructing, I tend to deconstruct items i want to keep from the bank along with the usual junk. Id like an option to sort items depending on if theyre in the bank or not. Or id like it to show what are my bank and my bag item without having to mouse over each individual item to check.

PlagueMonk

- Character roster adjustment (I want to be able to control the order of my roster)
- Guild roster adjustment (same as above)
- Give us lizard and cat skeletons (frustrating that my skele form is human)
