Ideas for ESO Plus

NewBlacksmurf

@ZOS_GinaBruno and @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

I need to revise my suggestions as you've made it clear that your intent (the company not you two) isn't in our best interest.

Suggestion: K.I.S.S.
1. Remove all crowns
2. Remove eso plus benefits
3. Remove the crown store (but continue to sale the items)

Options by customer type:

1.Buyer - uses real money on your site to digitally purchase, dlc, chapters, cosmetic items
2. Subscriber - subscribes to rent the items the buyer pays for

The perk to being a subscriber SHOULD be, gaining access to everything while the subscription is active
The perk to being a buyer SHOULD be, owning the limited license always

In this design, your features like the crafting bag, the dye station, etc would be accessed by DLC and not feature or a sub

Make price adjustments as needed and add a real shopping cart vs separate purchases for one check out.

For starters there are no bonuses for subscribers that lower gold costs or give tradeable items, and I think it should stay this way. I don't want to see the game economy messed up because of subscriber bonuses. I'll try to list some ideas I'm not really seeing on the thread.

1. Travel Pouch... (okay, people have suggested versions of this) Just some space shared between characters. We don't need to put the banker out of a job, just 10-20 spaces for conveniences like potions, food, psijic, soul gems, repair kits, farming/training sets, etc. Not limited to consumables, but let consumables be used directly from the pouch.

2. Reduce hireling wait times slightly. Just 30 minutes less could really make a difference for people trying to keep hirelings on a schedule. I don't see this as granting more gold/items because virtually nobody would move up their sleep schedule 30 minutes each night to get that extra 2-4% income .

3. Ability to turn in writs at any zone's hub.

4. Class change option (I mean you can change everything else, I always wondered why not class).

5. Pet/mount dyeing (maybe you could sell special pets/mounts that have dyeable clothes)

6. 10% more M'aiq sightings.

Other ideas I really agree with:
1. Vanity armor slots (one armor for appearance, one armor for stats), or style transmog (though I think equipment modification should be considered as part of the game for all skilled crafters).

2. Extra guild store listings

3. Loyalty rewards (starting the count when they're introduced, maybe even previewed a month or so before they're issued)

A third ability bar would be amazing bet it would get lots of subs. just the fact you keep adding to the eso plus is great most other games forget about us

Bring back subscriber rewards. Reward people for subscribing to ESO, being loyal to the game, the company and give them rewards - unique mounts, costumes, dyes, pets, etc. Simple as that.

Quarter 1 - pet
Quarter 2 - dye + costume
Quarter 3 - personality
Quarter 4 - yearly mount reward
Later, rinse, repeat for a new year.

That's it. Do that, and people will flip out and be happy. You did it before, and people paid money to get extra ESO Plus time JUST FOR THAT TIGER. It works. We know it works. You know it works. Let's make it happen.

Yeah, I really miss my "it's been another 6 months here's your pet" mail

Me personally, I would really love to see a crafting writs runner that visits your house and delivers the quests....

Hmmm what about skin dying. I think it would be pretty neat if we could change the color of the "stripes" on the dro'mathra skin.

The ability to buy crown store items with in-game gold.

Not an ESO+ idea, but a crown store one. I haven't seen anyone suggest this, though I'm sure someone has.

How about adding variations to the travel animations in the crown store? Not sure what they would be, but I've seen this in other games and I quite enjoyed it. Current animation has always seemed boring, lackluster, and somewhat out of place. Would love to put in some variety.

I love the idea of Loyality rewards, as I nearly always pay for ESO+ and would be great to benefit more of it.

The Wayshrines are a reflection of the constellations, because Mundus is a reflection of Aetherius. Drawing an ethereal star map when recalling is actually a very clever design choice.

I am not going to ask for much.

1. BANK SPACE! It is extremely easy to run out of bank space when I have 10 characters and I am trying to gear all of them out while still hanging on to other sets that look promising to test them out. I struggle to maintain bank space even when I have a craft bag because there are just too many sets in this game and not enough storage.

2. Give out something cosmetic each month as a loyalty perk. Doesn't have to be anything big just something that looks extremely cool that makes others want to subscribe as well. If you have exclusive subscription items like cool looking mounts or hats or weapon skins that you can only get with a subscription, I believe it could be a huge incentive to subscribe.

3. The ability to change the style of an armor piece to a style you have learned and have the style material available to use. (I would love to change my Burning Spellweave set from Daedric to Xivkyn or Hollowjack.)

Stop excluding things from the crown store so we have to pay again for them. I was never buying and saving crowns in order to pay for silly horses, pets, and dresses.. I was saving crowns because it was like layaway for the DLC. But since the Morrowind announcement crowns usefulness has been brought into question for me and I simply choose to not partake in purchases of any kind at all.

Cutting down on mount training times for subscribers.
Something that would get subscribers is if you could train your mount twice as fast as non-subscribers. ... Twice in one day, every 10 hours instead of 20. That would get a LOT of people.

This is my number one thing that I would be happy with again.

I would also like to see things like a trans-mog system to keep stuff I like but be able to improve it and then there was another suggestion of a new assistant who can be sent to collect treasure maps or survey writs.

Recipe book. Like the crafting bag, all recipes go into the book so that I can read them with the proper character or save them for a future character without having to go through the bank. This is especially helpful for those without addons that say who already knows each recipe if a player wants to have all characters gain the low sale value greens.

QuebraRegra

double mount upgrades per day... any race any faction character creation while subscribed.

Wow. That assistant would be pretty sweet during the anniversary. But another assistant would likely just be sold.

MORE HOUSING SLOTS PLEASE... 700 maxed on a manor and its 1/3rd decorated... So sad.

Krainor1974

Double the housing guest limits just like the item limits.

I don't know if this has been mentioned or not and apologize if it has, but I would like to see the following:

• lower prices for the crown store, say a 10% discount
• a free crown motif for every 90 day membership bought. These would be epic and crown store-based motifs.
• a 500 crown increase from 1,500 crowns to 2,000 crowns per month.
• all type of mounts for every three-months purchased

On a personal note, I would like to see the crafting bag able to be unlocked for crowns. If I accidentally let my sub lapse, I always have a backup.

Thanks.

I've been ESO+ for almost 2 years, and I'm beginning to wonder why, considering that apart from the Crowns you pretty much only get more space, and I don't need much more space as it is.
My suggestions for better benefits:

- More Crowns! Crown prices have gone up very rapidly, for mounts, for costumes, for the enormous Crown prices for houses. The amount of Crowns you get from ESO+ is tiny compared to all the costs these days.

- Bring back the loyalty of the old sub! The senche mount, the dwemer sphere, the costumes and mask. Award your current ESO+ customers with those old loyalty rewards, and even introduce new ones for longer subscriptions.

- Most importantly - Motif appearance changing!!! I cannot stress this enough. We need appearance changing, there are hundreds of threads and polls on the forums, and you need to listen to this. Make appearance changing an ESO+ only feature, with the possibility of buying item appearance changing tokens in the Crown Store for nonsubbers - just like you did with the costume dyeing. Motif changing/appearance changing/transmog is the feature everyone wants the most, people will get ESO+ subs to get it, or buy them individually in the Crown Store. don't let this possibility pass by, it's a rare win/win for both you as a business and us as customers. People will love to spend money on this.

This! Yes please.
I like to change my looks a lot, but, it's expensive, so, why can't we change styles of gear to any already learned motif?
I know it's possible since, as an imperial edition owner, I can convert any gear into Imperial style.

This may have already been mentioned (tl;dr) but with the warden coming out we need more character slots, and this could be set for ESO+ only. I really don't want to delete more than one build/setup and I'm already at 12. Having toons set specifically for PVE/PVP/Trials is very very handy.

I can see the potential for disaster if a purchased extra slot becomes inaccessible if the subscription lapses, maybe there's another way to do this..but the bottom line is we need more slots for trying out & theory crafting Warden builds. 8)

Hello everyone

i think the same of other players, i'd like to have in ESO+ the possibility to buy all mounts, pets, motif, costumes and other (not avalaible now, or discounts for the motifs). i would appreciate it.

Personally I work a lot so the idea of paying a subscription fee for a game that I can't spend no more than 1~3 hours a day, including the weekends, isn't very attractive. I'm sure many are in similar situation, and some subscribe anyway while others don't.

So in order to tap into those crowd that chose NOT to subscribe you would need appropriate incentives targeting the working people with family such as myself.

Easier said than done right? It's a balancing act. You need to give without giving too much, just enough to entice those with cash in their pocket and transfer it into the dev's pocket.

You want to "entice" potential subscribers, not "force" them.

Forcing them, a negative incentive, would be something like flooding the world with craft materials so that it would further inconvenience those that are not subscribing.

Enticing them, a positive incentive, would be something that would work in favor for the working people.

Examples:

1. This is the hard part, you figure it out Community, help?

Our crown allotment is worthless, tbh. Given the prices it's an absolute joke. ZOS needs to up the crown allowance BIG TIME because right now the crowns we get buy nothing we want. For example, you should've been able to purchase Rajhin's Lion with one month's worth of crowns not 2 months. AND there should be major discounts for ESO plus subscribers when it comes any and all purchases from the crown store. Crown prices are so inflated as to be absurd and while I realize that won't change for the general player that shouldn't be the case for those of us subscribing. We should also get an extended time on items that are time restricted. I got screwed out of the aforementioned Lion (one of the few things I really, really wanted) because my ESO plus crowns didn't come in until the day after.

What's the point of subscribing when the benefits are useless and quite often players who don't sub are better off than those who do? I'd have been able to buy my lion -- the first thing I've actually wanted in a LONG time -- if only I hadn't been a subscriber.

AND all that is just scratching the surface. ZOS is asking a lot for subs while giving us little in return. Where are the random bonuses, crate and gift drops for subscribers? Those things cost ZOS nothing but they keep subscribers happy and make others want to subscribe.

To make subs attractive there has to be value. When a subscriber pays the same amount of money for the same amount of crowns as a non-sub, gets no rewards whatsoever, gets the content he was promised taken away on a whim and without recompense, pays the same ridiculous pricing for items in the crown store, gets screwed by the time frame his allotment is awarded in and pretty much sees no benefits over a non-sub, he or she is getting royally screwed.

Most of us sub because we love the game but I'm truly starting to feel like we're being taken advantage of precisely because our love of the game gets in the way of good sense and what makes it worse is that it would cost nothing to treat us right.

Agree with this but the crown store price discount needs to be higher and the crown allotment increase upped even more. Crown store prices are simply too absurd for those rates (normally they'd be perfectly reasonable it's just that crown store inflation and general ridiculousness in terms of pricing has made it so that it's not enough). Subs are guaranteed income and that should be rewarded (I would bet real money subs are pointed to in quarterly reports and generate a ridiculous amount of income for Zenimax). Subs should also be getting more rewards (I mentioned a few things in my last post).

id like eso plus to let u have both vampirism and lycanthropy at the same time on a single character the collective weaknesses balance out the collective strengths
