Every time I take some time off and don't watch an ESO live they answer my questions or people make threads quoting me... I must do a better job of staying in touch with things.

Any way, a huge thanks for setting up the thread @ChuckyPayne

Here are the ones I was planning to post, and some submissions from my old guild as well.

UI Changes

Rearrange Character Order / Last played character on top.
Rearrange Guild Order.
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.

Items/Gear

Collectables drop from all levels of monsters just like hides.
Items list the value and equivalent percentage when talking about attributes/secondary attributes.

Misc Changes

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.
Guild bank item stacking returned.
Clicking outside the client doesn't break teleport/travel when in window mode.

Crafting Writ

If your max lvl(50) in a crafting skill allow you to select a lvl of writ to craft Why do we need to make alts
Or even craft at a lower tier to obtain crafting items?

Just allow us to select the level of a writ we wish to craft if Maxed

Thank you

More display icons in groups e.g. crown, healer icons, tank icons etc.

Stackable siege equipment.

Making retreat sigils account wide.

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.

You have the addon!

I doubt that ZOS will implement a feature in the game if there are a few great addons taking care of it right now.... I mean they do STILL need to fix so many issues with combat, pvp lag, etc.

Because screw console players, right?

Yes, we who play on our desktops have addons. They don't. They would benefit greatly from this addition. I honestly don't know how they can stand using the vanilla guild stores in this game, as the guild store UI is absolutely atrocious.

Put yourself in their shoes for a minute.

The thread is about QoL changes for the whole game, not for platform x or y. One could suggest, for example, proximity voice chat for PC, since consoles have voice chat and are going to have text chat too.

And no, it is not the same as using a third party program for voice chat, because that wouldn't be proximity voice chat, and for it to be used it is needed that everyone who wants to communicate to enter the same channel, instead of just flipping a switch on their social settings.

Anyway, the point is that third party programs can't be used to justify lack of QoL features in MMOs or of bug fixes in single player games. For example, I for one don't think Bethesda should take any pride on the fact that many Skyrim bugs were never fixed by them, but instead by the modding community. Pushing the responsibility for your shortcomings to your costumers is a terrible thing for a company to do.

- Increase maximum player bank space to 350 or more.
- Increase maximum stack size for all stackable items to around 5k.
- 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!".
- 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.
- Allow players to turn in crafting writs at any delivery site.

Yep. Screw console players. It's because of them we got this atrocious B2P system so yeah..screw console! Not actually the players' fault but I don't care! PC Master Race etc..so on and so forth.

As for the OP:

-FIX THE DAMN MOUNTS! I am so tired of my mounts "stubbing their toe" on every little rise in elevation and causing me to stop in my tracks. The ridiculous collision system with NPCs is bad enough with crabs acting as immovable objects but can't we even just run across a bridge in Orsinium without hitting a 2 inch high brick wall?
-guild bank auto stacking. Long overdue.
-guild bank tabs with permissions. Long overdue.
-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?

Oh dear Divines YES! How I loathe having to do that for every single stinkin' character!

1-make every morph respecable individually.

2-show the rank gained of all morphs instead of showing them all at rank 1.

You can't do this in game but there are two great addons for this.

The addon "Binder" will allow you to save a keybinding profile on one character and then load them on another with a simple chat command. #/binder save <profile name> and then #/binder load <profile name>. I would have gone mad without this.

There is another one to transfer addon settings from one character to all or some of your other characters. This one is called "Joviex's Addon Settings Transfer". I think this one has a couple "update" addons to make it compatible with newer game patches. It gives you a nifty interface where you can select which character to transfer settings from..then which characters (or all) to transfer them to. If you have a lot of addons and especially if you have tinkered with UI type settings this is a life saver. I haven't needed to use this one in a while so not 100% it still works but I assume it does.

The first post refreshed with summary.

Thevampirenight · February 2016

Well first off, all the costumes to be able to take on the characters shape.Costumes should not give cleavage boobs on male characters, Seconds there needs to be three separate slots costume/disguse , tabbard and then skin slot for any skin you have unlocked that way you could wear Hero costume with tabbard while basically looking like a soul shriven.

I would like to see them change description for the soul shriven skin.

You succumbed to the decay of Coldhabour and the lack of soul. Thus you take on the appearance of what you truly are a Soulless Husk shriveled up and decayed. Unable to truly die forever bound to exist in oblivion or on nirn itself til the end of time.

Vampires should have fangs and you should have an ability to expose your claws and fangs out. When like this you are able to bite from either behind through sneaking and drain the blood of the npc as well as also chance to do it or ability to do it without sneakin,on npcs that are hostile. 100% on npcs that are not hostile .

I also want to see better looking vampire eyes for stage three and four because it sucks it makes you look like some yellowish raven eyes that look funny and disgusting for stage four and vampires stage three needs to be glowly red but not as intense , I like the black veins but make all the veins pure blue or something like you have no blood in you and need to replace it. I want the vampire eyes to glow blood red four stages three and four. While having fangs exposed out at stage four . Make vampirism awesome again please!
