Whether you like it or not, I'd say I like that the devs went back over the last year to really implement a lot of the "social" changes and tweaks they wanted to get into ESO. With that out of the way I am looking forward to 2017 getting back to new zones (Vvardenfell), more stories, more lore, etc.

I too completely agree.

@Nifty2g Didn't ZOS say trials take like a year to create? Well Maw of Lorkhaj came with Thieves Guild, the Q1 2016 DLC.

Next major patch should include a trial, and if it doesn't, Q2 2017 should.

Since Vvardefell seems pretty finished based on datamining.....

It wouldn't be too big a stretch to assume Vvardenfell may release Q2 2017 with a Red Mountain trial! (plz ZOS)

I kinda doubt we'll see Vvardenfell that soon. I'm guessing Murkmire. Supposedly it was slated for release when we got 1Tam instead, then the decision to turn it and Craglorn to single player friendly came along, and pushed it back.

Beyond that, Mephala's Realm and Clockwork City were both teased long before Vvardenfell. I doubt it will be that soon. I actually wonder, given the size on the map, if Vvardenfell is slated for a distinct boxed release of its own.

It's ZOS. Nothing is concrete.

I wouldn't rule out Vvardenfell from Q2 2017 completely:)

Which is why I hedged it as, "kinda doubt," not, "no way in hell," or something slightly more emphatic.

A Red Mountain Trial would get me to take group content seriously again, though.

DRXHarbinger

A new zone...something the size of wrothgar.

A new trial but something that has more than ...run..burn adds...burn boss. .burn add pools...burn bosses/s...burn more trash....burn last boss...complete.

RebornV3x

I liked the Dark Brotherhood content(the patch was lame) and One Tamriel everything else was ***.

My hope for 2017 is nerf destro ultimate, small class balance changes(except for Sorc the class needs a complete redo in my opinion) disable proc sets in pvp, release better rewards for pvp, fix random crashes, and add a lot more Trials not 1 or 2 more like 5 or 6 for a start hopefully a big increase in max CP by a minimum of 100 not this petty 30 every dlc with almost 3 weeks of 2xp anybody with half a brain has more cp then they well ever be able to use at this rate unless there is a huge cp increase. I think that about covers it.

For 2017:
- Major new area DLC. Updates like 1T were great, but it's due time for actual new content.
- Brush-up of crafted sets, restyling of gear, jewelry crafting and spellcrafting.
- Four difficulty levels to dungeons/trials: casual, normal, hard, competitive. Mostly i miss the hard level. E.g. MoL normal is silly easy but veteran needs a really organized group. There should be a difficulty for experienced players in "let's do it" way.
- Token system. I am skipping content if i get the rng allergy.
- Housing of course. Probably just few weeks to PTS and i can start choosing my manors...

Then slightly tongue-in-cheek:
- Let trialists and PvP players earn more gold. Those poor guys can't buy my golden improvements, which hinders me getting filthy rich. And i will have my mansions and castles to decorate...
- Put mythic cipher fragments into writs. It would take a year to collect, say hundred fragments to make the mythic recipe. ZOS put something into crafting that crafters can't reach, and that's bloody annoying. Of course i can hand out a million to some poor trialist for the cipher and then suck it back with goldens, but where's the challenge?
- Multiyear crafting championship progression system. The nine traits is so 2015. I'm kicking banekins and getting bored.
- LFM system. Group finder is crap. It will never work. I want as group leader publish LFM "vWGT fastrun HM" or "nWGT first try helpme", which goes to a tab on party page and is visible to everybody. Players can request joining a group and leader picks up them. People would know in advance what they are joining to.

What I enjoyed 2016
- anniversy and holiday events
- Diversity of new sets
- Exploring new areas and new dailies
- One Tamriel

What I look forward 2017
- housing (it'll eat my time with crafting)

Somewhere in distant future
- Elsweyr, Whiterun, Markarth

rootimus

I'm hoping that in 2017 we finally get:

An actual mail client
Guild tools
API keys
Answers to hundreds of pages of Ask Us Anything questions
A huge focus on bug fixes
VR18 gear (Vet ranks weren't removed, they were re-named)
Zenimax focusing on having an actual community built around the game
Dev blogs

KICHZY

My favorite moment in 2016

- Text chat being implemented on console

What I would like to see in 2017

- The implementation of Buff Timers.


My requests are reasonable

WhiteCoatSyndrome

In 2016 I enjoyed:
- Crafting Bag
- Events

In 2017 I hope to see:
- More zones to explore
- More Loremaster articles, 'So-and-so Answers your Questions' and so on
- More plot

2016? Stuff
2017? Things

Nifty2g

Trait changing and style changing would be nice

idk

I agree with @Nifty2g that Zos made some big improvements to the game during the last year.

Not just a new trial but scaling the older trials so they are once again a worthy challenge. I also like the aspect that we have mechanics do deal with instead of the simple stack and burn we've have mostly since the game was released.

I also like that they added a normal mode for trials so everyone can enjoy the action. Making HM for the entire trial vs final boss would be a plus.

My hope into this next year is a minimum is a new trial and Two new trials would be best to begin bringing ESO closer on par with their closest competitors.

Adenoma

Ohhh, some folks mention style changing. I really, really wish this were the case now. It really keeps you from making your character look just the way you want it. This was exacerbated by the influx of drop sets in One Tamriel.

Apherius

1. Male crafted set better !
2. give us the possibility to Hide Horribles undaunted shoulders !
3. Sorcerer disguise .
4. a Sorcerer DLC
5. Delete Sorcerer PET and give me Useful skill
6. Delete Overload and give me a Lightning meteor
7. Delete Viper set OR Delete NB's ( it's same . )

Your sorcerer has polyethylene terephthalate? No fair!

Ironclap

All I wish for 2017 is spellcrafting so that I can craft different style summoner pets, preferably a golden saint heal/damage and dark seducer tank.

2016:
Pretty much everything. I found the DB storyline to be quite disgraceful (quality-wise), even though I enjoyed it. Third update (Shadows of the Hist) could've been bigger, but I can understand while it wasn't, especially since One Tamriel was so huge.

2017:
Q1: Can't wait for housing, obviously.
Q2: Hopefully Vvardenfell to make up for the lack of *new* content in the past few months.
Q3: Murkmire, please, but, again - due to Q4 being huge, imo, I would find it understandable if the zone would be released in 2018.
Q4: PvP arenas, battlegrounds. Expeting a huge update, hopefully with some PvE tie-in, as in Brawlers Guild from one of the mods from Skyrim, where you could travel around Tamriel and fight heroes in arenas. PvP and PvE would be EXCLUSIVE to each other and players would be able to pick their content depending on whether they want to play against players or NPCs.

Ghost-Shot

Didn't like much about 2016 and have very low expectations for 2017.

In the spirit of the holidays, lets appreciate the game as a second as a community and what you would like to see for 2017.

We all got to be honest going in from 2015 to 2016, ESO has improved dramatically from how playable the game was to all the exploits that were around, to how much content and just overhauling their game.
Even the forum staff have gone out of their way to answer more of the community questions getting involved with their members, and the developers have started connecting with their playerbase a whole lot, shout out to @ZOS_RichLambert and @ZOS_Finn

My favorite things from 2016 are:

1. Removal of Veteran Ranks.
2. Maw of Lorkhaj (great designed trial, amazing how it's this old but still so fun. Fantastic work on designing this).
3. One Tamriel for me was a huge patch, being able to see everyone brought new life into the game and seeing the population. It was especially great with the events.
4. Undaunted Plunder
5. Performance in Cyrodill is noticeably better.
6. Thieves Guild & Dark Brotherhood were perfect choices of first DLC's to come out.
7. Everything being scaled up.
8. Crown Store motivating some good decisions (race change, appearance change, name change).

What I hope to see in 2017

1. Housing - No matter what, this is going to be a defining factor of the game that many were a little disappointed at the launch it wasn't included, I feel like housing is going to bring so much for ZOS as there is many possibilities for it - I especially like the fact you can choose to craft, buy or crown store stuff for your houses.
2. A new trial will be really nice (just no mephalas realm please. Spiders are so annoying to fight, Velidreth makes up for all spider trials)
3. Battlegrounds for PvP.
4. vvardenfell! (hopefully).
5. Better way to obtain upgrade materials.

That's my lists, and I want to thank ZOS for sticking with this game. Being here from Beta (early access too) has been great to see all the changes over the year, they all happened so fast for how old the game is. It's great to see the game is in a great spot from how it used to be, completely changed it around and it's been an amazing transformation honestly.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone. I personally can't wait for the amazing additions coming in 2017.

2017:

better ways to obtain mats
spell crafting
housing with storage
crown store exclusive motifs to become drop motifs
fix lag in cyro, drop aoe caps
fix cloak
make double handed weapons count as 2 pieces to set bonuses
jewelry crafting
special mounts (like demon wolf for example) reintroduced to crown store - I want that black wolf!!
new craftable sets that are as good as dropped sets now
permabans for cheaters!!
make all bop gear to BOE!!!

2016 Pokemon Sun & Moon

For 2016... Crafting bags, two new guilds and zones, new passives, and One Tamriel. The holidays were fun too.

As for 2017... Ash yam stew. I mean Vvardenfell! Bring on the mushroom towers, daedric ruins, and our favorite cites from ES III! Me wants the spell crafting as well. A return of ESO Live (a.k.a. 'Gina and Friends') perhaps with some spotlight on the art community from Mr. Weathers. And maybe... the lusty... Argonian ...maid could make a cameo in game. Wouldn't it be fun to see Ol' Lusty having a spot in the limelight, even if it is so brief. They may need a in game calendar though for the month names (e.g. Sun's Dusk) and days of the week (e.g. Loredas).

newtinmpls

What I liked:

1-One Tamriel !!

2-Dueling (for all it's faults)

3-sprinkling of new skill lines in among other things

4-Holiday stuff (Jubilee, New Life, Witches Fest) and motifs and recipes that anyone could use

5-"Personalities" (I do not like ANY of them so far, but I do like the idea)

6-Dyable costumes

What I would want:

1-Upgradable AND Craftable Jewelry (in that order)

2-Impovements (name plates, dyes, emotes) to combat pets

3-In the appearance tab, deal with jewelry, tattoos and scars separately and make it so one character can have ALL the scars.

4-Some form of competitive instance/trial/daily (probably in Cyrodiil) where its AD vs EP vs DC vs Daedra/Molag Bal in a timed battle.

5-Dailies (instanced or not) that involve rescue/save injured/transport supplies or civilians in Cyrodiil. Possibly also with a "you can try to rob them" options.

johu31

2016
Removal of vet ranks
One tamriel
New monster sets/weapon ultra.

2017
Group finder cool down fixed so when GF kicks me I don't have to wait.
Quality content. (Not things like housing/dueling)
Higher scaled armor
New solo arena
More transparency from the devs.

Silver_Strider

Best thing about 2016 is that it's over.
2017 All I want is for a long, multi tier raid with a half decent story.

Crafting bag and new zones. Need more new zones
