Far future features

Ebonheart1111 · August 2016

We know that next year we will be getting player housing, but what about the future to come?

Just some ideas...

Mounted combat

Banner/standard bearer that can ride around and buff/debuff large scale combat.

Necromancy/Ranger classes ( Once standard classes are balanced )

Dwemer/Falmer Races ( Because let's face it ZOS already broke lore to the point where we might as well re-write ES history )

NPC Companions for PVE ( Because actual s0cial interaction is over-rated )

Personalizing the particle effect colors on spells/attacks.

Spellcrafting

Mounts that multiple people can ride ( 4 seated Wamasu... c'mon you know that would be awesome )

Political system where players can take positions of power in major cities ( Don't ask me how, just make it so )

Race specific Ultimates

Deadric realms DLC

Furniturecrafting for upcoming housing

and lastly... a SINGLE child somewhere.. anywhere

No (even though we want it)

Can't we sort of do that already? To a degree I mean.

Not happening.

DEFINITELY not happening.

Don't really care for this myself but there are people that want them.

Don't see this happening as it would cause deceptive confusion.

No ETA.

I stand by my wagon-based concept

https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/276658/concept-mounts-and-wagons (DO NOT NECRO!!)

We're just the Vestige, an adventurer. Although I AM technically a chief in Wrothgar

I do believe these were removed for a reason so don't expect them to come back.

Only time will tell...

That's assuming we don't actually build the houses OURSELVES! XD

The guards used to be children, and will be in the future.

Dwemer/Falmer Races ( Because let's face it ZOS already broke lore to the point where we might as well re-write ES history )

Please don't actually encourage lore breaking, we need a set history and it needs to be preserved as much as possible. Unless we get a time travel Quest that takes us back to when the Dwemer were still around, they're going to stay gone.

Personalizing the particle effect colors on spells/attacks.

Magick has a set color(s) for reasons. Blue n'such for regular, Gold for Healing, and Purple/Red for Dark.

Political system where players can take positions of power in major cities

What would that accomplish? I can't see any mechanic that would work short of just somehow earning a title like "Lord of Davon's Watch".

Race specific Ultimates

THIS I can get behind.

I think fixing the group finder is already on this list as far as ESO are concerned.....

Stovahkiin · August 2016

Hehehe....hahahaha .... People still think this game has a far future.. I see a year, maybe two years left. That is, unless Zeni actually starts caring and stops cash grabbing (crown store lockboxes).

You have that backwards. Some people, such as yourself, actually think this game has NO future, and yet there is no sheer indication of decline in the game's health.

Opinions are opinions, and they NEVER speak for facts.

Didn't say my opinion was absolute fact. However, by looking at what Zeni has been doing recently, like taking ridiculous amounts of time to fix basic MMO mechanics and cash grabbing (very expensive, yet poorly designed items in crown store, as well as the soon to be released lockboxes).

These aren't the kind of decisions that cause a game to grow. Believe me, I do wish these things weren't true, I waited two years to play this game, and then was sorely disappointed by its glaring flaws after playing for only a couple months.

If Zeni does actually fix some things and whatnot, then I will gladly come back and be able to play with my guild again.

Mojmir · August 2016

History repeats itself, RIP

Abeille · August 2016

Instead of asking for races that can't be included without some severe "lore gymnastics" (this term is totally a thing that exists), why not some races that could actually make sense?

Like, say, the Maormer? I know, I know, I don't like the stinking fish elves either. But they are kinda pretty, come on.

I know of far worse games that are STILL going despite their developer's incompetence and direction they took it, so I believe TESO is safe.

Now there is something I can agree with I suppose, the main game of runescape is unbearable now, but they did release an "Old School" version based on what the game was like in 2007, so at least they realized that they dun screwed up lol.

Anyhoo, back to ESO :P

I do not know what this "Champions Online" is, but it sounds disappointing.

So, to topic... Um, Spears?

A big fat NO there.

Meh, couldn't' care less about this one, I wouldn't use them, they'll probably have dumb A.I and will be useless in combat anyway.

I know weapon ultimates are coming and I like having more options. I like the idea of Race specific ones too, but they have to be careful about doing it.

Forgot to add - Magic Bow ( Because magic bow )

Daemons_Bane · August 2016

If you think a game dies just because it hits a rough patch, take a look at Fallen Earth.. crappy design, so many flaws that this gae looks perfect, has had cash/loot boxes for at least 4 years.. still going

'Furniturecrafting for upcoming housing'

It's a very cool feature in another game I played, especially if it can be done in racial styles.

I'd rather have a bard for large scale buff/debuff type effects...

Classes will never ever be balanced, but that is no reason not to add something... but it really should be something that both new and old characters can benefit from, so...

Nah. There is still a shred of lorefulness left, and that would be crossing the line at which I would unsubscribe and leave... and I expect others may think the same.
But races that are possible without lorebreaking... Maormer, Reachmen, Goblins, or some Akaviri races... bring them on!

Spellcrafting

Not sure I want people to be able to cherry-pick their abilities, everyone would end up with the same "super-effective" skills. If spellcrafting, I'd make it more like "scrollcrafting", making the spells built there one-time-use stuff that you had to stock up on to at least have some limitations...

Ebonheart1111 wrote: »

Yes, it would be awesome! War mounts for cyrodil! Carriges for roleplaying. That sort of thing...

Possibly... though I expect a lot of the furniture will be achievement-based as well. Trophies to hang on your wall, etc.

Ebonheart1111 wrote: »

Oh, yeah... it does not have to be attackable kids, just some running around in the safe cities would add a LOT of flavor. And for those "save the kid" quests... once the "my mom still calls me her boy even though I am fully grown" shtick can work, but when you find a second quest where an clearly adult person needs you to hold their hand to make a short trip back to their family waiting in an obvious place within sight... well... it kinds damages immersion...

bertenburnyb16_ESO · August 2016

Things I would like to see:

New Weapons :
- polearms (spears, halebeard,..)
- crossbows (1handed, 2handed)
- 1handed magic weapons (orbs/wands/focus/book kinda thing) combinable with 1handed weapons like swords (1h magic weap maybe only equipable in second hand
- 2H ILLUSION staff
- ....

New Worlds skill line LITCH (like vamp and WW) with ICE, POISEN and SUMMON skills

New Class Skills or maybe 3th morph option, more ICE & LIGHTNING options, and addition of ILLUSION magic

Mounted combat sure why not

Warmounts for multiple people in Cyro, could be possible

NO new classes or races

a system that makes u force to chose passives (like GW2 has for example) not the current CP system, where in the end if cap is raised enough, everybody will have every passive and is totally overpowered

NPC companions for PVE:
let you be able to take an alt of yours as Companion (with maybe only 1 weapon and skillbar to keep it simple) and a sort of option where anyone can hire and alt of any other player as companion
(Dragons Dogma had this, you had your onw companion, and could hire 2 additional companions of other players, and other people could hire your companion, it was really nicely done, companions with experience with certain type of monsters would tell you in battle what their weaknesses were, you could even perform combo moves with companions... and if you returned the companion, you could evaluate the companion for the owner to see, and even send a gift along if u wanted)

oh and Jewlery crafting

Andarne · August 2016

Mounted combat

I'd like to see this. Like LoTRO did, though I've never played Rohan, they held off for a while then built an entire zone to tailor the new system.

Banner/standard bearer that can ride around and buff/debuff large scale combat.

I assume this would be a PvP thing, in which case I can't honestly form an opinion. I don't PvP much.

Necromancy/Ranger classes ( Once standard classes are balanced )

Why not? Although Necromancy is illegal in Morrowind and, iirc, Skyrim? But new classes might be a fresh addition. It's happened before in other games to no failure.

Dwemer/Falmer Races ( Because let's face it ZOS already broke lore to the point where we might as well re-write ES history )

No, no, no and no. The Dwemer, bar one, are all gone. The Falmer are blind. Not happening, sorry.

NPC Companions for PVE ( Because actual s0cial interaction is over-rated )

Again, looking at LotRO, they did this pretty well for Instances. You could recruit an NPC tank, Healer or Ranged DPS. I liked it what little I used. Please see here.

Personalizing the particle effect colors on spells/attacks.

Maybe when we get Spellcrafting? I don't see why not.

Spellcrafting

Yes. They've already said it's coming. Just HURRY UP!

Mounts that multiple people can ride ( 4 seated Wamasu... c'mon you know that would be awesome )

The ESO world isn't that big, apart from Cyrodil, so I really don't see the benefit for this.

Political system where players can take positions of power in major cities ( Don't ask me how, just make it so )

This one I actually like. Like how some Guilds can own Keeps/Outposts in Cyrodiil. If you take over a town, your guild could get an income or something, or unique quests to repair/defend/upgrade the town?

Race specific Ultimates

Yes please.

Deadric realms DLC

I really hope that this is coming. It just makes sense.

Furniturecrafting for upcoming housing

The classes need more 'misc' options, instead of purely focusing on gear. Make them useful. Make Alchemists mix dyes for players and/or housing furniture. Make Woodworkers build furniture or change the cosmetics of the house. Make Clothiers craft banners or maps, or stuffed creatures, for the houses. Make Blacksmiths craft key components for these things (screws, nails, railings, etc).

and lastly... a SINGLE child somewhere.. anywhere

Nah. We get enough whining from the folk who live and breathe Cyrodil. Don't need annoying kids.

I love the idea of a time travel quest - that would allow us to experience parts of TES that might be previously be locked by lore. It would definitely give the developers a "way out" to introduce things that might be "lore friendly", but are not actually part of TES lore. However, I am uncertain if time travel is "a thing" in TES....so that might be lore breaking right there and squash the whole thing.
