Will we ever see spellcrafting in the game?

Mikkiz1990b16_ESO

i wonder if yes, how would it work. how cool would it be

there is a few addition i would love to see in ESO,

Spell crafting

An arena like the one in imperial city, to be fair i dont care if its for pve OR PVP, but i would love to see a gladiator arena

new skills to each class, mabye a 4th set of abilites for each class, for more diversion,

some more deadric boss actions

more cool looking armor as well,

enforcer vs law breaker - collect the bounty on another player and kill him and get gold for it, ( basicly world pvp if you have a bounty ) you will get a wanted poster diffrent places , more places depending on your bounty,


but srsly, spell crafting, i just... i must have it

Pixel_Zealot

nope. they wanted to but it didn't make the cut.

FloppyTouch

No

Spellcrafting has been shelved at this time.
Someday they might reconsider it... but right now, its dead and pending necromancy.

Sadly, so is the PvP phase of the justice system, that was something I had been looking forward to, if only because I have half my characters "lawful" and half "rougeish" in backstory...
Heck, I wouldn't mind if they did it as PvE enforcers only and added NPC criminals for them to hunt, I just want some more guild fun... https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/306759/additional-guild-ideas

BtW, the Arena in Stormhaven has opened... for PvP duelling. Just something many people missed... And the arena in Kvatch is a world boss fight for those who want to test their skills. And of course there is Maelstrom arena... for those who -reallly- want to test their colo combat skills, or Dragonstar for those who have friends and lare looking for a challenge...
So, enough gladiator fun to be hed. Even though many here are still hoping for group-on-group PvP arenas to come someday as well...

New skills to each class you say? Old hands know my reply to this: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/240186/class-morph-idea/p1

Nope

Yes, eventually. Possibly. They still want to do it, but it didn't make it in for 2016.

Spellcrafting is on the back burner for now. It is a fun and interesting system, but it is not in our current plans to bring it to you in the coming year. We really like the design and what it contributes to the game, though, so we will do what we can in the future to make it happen and do it right.

Let's hope we hear some news on it in the upcoming The Year Ahead article for 2017.

TheShadowScout

I heard that during the year, one of the main developers of spellcrafting left the ZOS team... only a rumour of course, but...

Personally I still hope they will do something with the spellcrafting idea, but something that won't go for "make your won skills", since that'd end up with everyone running the very same "super-effective" setup, which would kill all the fun in the game.
I keep hoping they might do it to craft consumable spell scrolls... that would be nifty!

But for now, its not even on the radar anymore, since they have so much else to worry about and work on... from Homestead to Vvardenfell... though I agree, a "Year Ahead" to give us an overview on what to expect when... that would be very appreciated.

Nick Konkle left quite some time ago (I think it was in 2015 already), that's not really a rumour. I think Wrobel took his position after he left.

And while we know about a lot of game content they want to release - Vvardenfell, Clockwork City, Mephala's Realm, Murkmire - we don't know anything about new systems they have in development after housing coming with Homestead. I hope they have some nice surprises for us this year.

it will eventually come they didnt say they scraped it of the books,they just left it for later

I think enough people have consistently demonstrated interest that ZOS would be crazy to not eventually implement *some* kind of Spellcrafting system.

No ETA

Vaoh

In the future, yes, Spellcrafting will come.

A lot of people don't want to believe it though and have spread/expanded rumors for awhile. Sad but that's how these things go.

It is a definite, 100% yes. This is a big feature as well. Imo, a late 2017 release is reasonable based on their statements. Mark my words

Tabbycat

I'm pretty sure Spellcrafting was shelved when Paul Sage left. It was his project. I don't think any of the other developers have picked it up yet. It's not high priority on the list. Maybe after housing we'll see something mentioned about it. It probably depends on what they have planned for this year.

I'd love to see it in game but I can imagine it would be hard to balance.

There are two kinds of people on these forums...
...those who can extrapolate from my occasional typefinger fails...
...and those who post about it.

Yeah, should have been "solo". So, sue me.
