Making Traits More Appealing

ThePonzzz · January 2016

I don't know if there are any plans in the near future to make traits, particularly armor traits, more appealing, but it seems like it's a move in the right direction. I'd say the majority of people gravitate to infused or divines right now, with some people taking on impenetrable and reinforced.

Just wanted to toss out some ideas.

Exploration - Reduce cost of wayshrines transportation during cooldown with 1 piece or flat out remove all costs to fast traveling with at least 2 pieces.
Sturdy - Reduce fall damage by 33.3% per piece equipped. Three pieces removes fall damage entirely.
Well-fitted - Increase the reduction of stamina cost to sprinting significantly. Increase stealth radius.
Training - Change the name to something like Discipline Increase inspiration to skills on active skill bar as well. Increase detection radius with 2 or more pieces. Increase AP on keep resources and repairs by 100% with 5 or more pieces.

I'm sure weapon traits need some help too, but it seems like the four above aren't used or wanted at all. I'm also sure my suggestions aren't likely the best. But they are a face lift for sure.

Lol I was just coming to do that.
Would be better to add ideas there as it has already gotten a /lurk.

Here you go, now your Well Fitted is more appealing.

Something to reduce fall damage is a glaring omission from eso.

I feel famous now.

I should revisit the thread later when I get home and organize the suggestions from other players better than I have

Well Fitting could definitely be improved.. the value of Almandines is almost zero! Obviously because no-one currently uses the trait. A stamina cost reduction for stealthing would be cool.

I like your idea with sturdy as well... I don't know anyone that makes armour with sturdy traits.

Perhaps combo traits with monster collectible drops some how. For example, Reinforced + fleshy symbiot.

Thanks, I'll add my ideas to the list.

It would be nice if some of the traits got a little love. This is certainly interesting.

I'm pretty sure traits are being reworked in the next Update (which is going onto PTS in 1-2 weeks). Anyone else confirm this?

Finally, a counter to meteor!
