Should Meteor be unlocked on all characters?

djdc1234

after collecting all those books.. Who wants to do it again on another account?

casparian

What do you mean? Automatically? Or are you asking whether it's useful for every character to go through the effort to unlock it?

Danksta

No

I wouldn't be opposed to it, but should they? No.

Koolio

No
I did the book grind on 5 characters. Wasn't fun but should be "given" away.

Darth_Apache

No

Why? This doesn't make sense class and lore wise...

phairdon

No

Uhm, no.

srfrogg23

No

Erm... why?

Why not make the progress for all skill lines account-wide? At least there wouldn't be any reason to replay the content on an alt anymore

Bigevilpeter

Yes

maybe, Undaunted, Alliance and guilds should be account wide it is pointless to redo them on every single character

MasterSpatula

Yes

Woops, I voted wrong. I thought the question was "Should we have to do it again?" not "Should we get a free unlock."

Yes, do it again. Good grief, you already get all your CP handed to you. Progress your character. Why's everyone in such a dang rush all the time?

NewBlacksmurf

No

No BUT I do think that if I pay to make copies in my own home, if my Alts read those books, their rep should progress.

I don't think it should be automatic but work and effort could offer a QoL for future characters.

I'm quoting you because your name amuses me in ways that you may, or may not, have intended.

MythicEmperor

No

While we're at it, lets make it so you don't have to do achievements again, and so you don't have to level 1-50 again, and so you don't have to go through character creation again...

S1ipperyJim

No

Wow, dude

Runs

No

And I am opposed to it. Alts already have a huge advantage on BWB why do they need another?

theher0not

I replied below

Honestly mages guild is probably the easiest skill line to level(excluding class skills) and there is no need to make it acc wide. On PC all you have to do is download "Lorebooks" and on console all you need is google to find a map displaying where the books are.


I wouldn't mind it but I don't see a need for it.

I'd honestly love acc wide achievments. Same with trait research and mount training, having to redo them brings nothing to the game

Should the mainstory be completed on all characters after beating Molag Bal on your main?
No!
Should all skyshard skill points become available on all characters after finding them for the first time?
Nope!
Should exploration be done on all characters once you found a location on your main?
Certainly not!
Should research traits become done on all characters after researching them once?
Njet!
Should Thieves Guild and Dark Brothehood max for every character after you done it once?
No way!
Should any quests become completed on all characters after you done them once?
Never!
Should Riding be maxed for all characters aftre you did it on your main?
I don't think so!
Should Alliance Rank levels count for all characters after you PvPlayed for them once?
Nein!
Should Achievements be unlocked for every character after your main completed them?
How about... no!

Hell no!

Like all those things - if you want it on your alt, work for it on your alt. If you feel you can't be bothered - do without.

Nestor

No

Your playing characters not templates.

If you really don't want to find all the lore books again, then forgo the Mages Guild Ultimate, there are better ones out there.

Rev Rielle

No

The games not about us, it's about our characters. The difference is often subtle, but important.

Darth_Apache

No

Boom.

Tryxus

No

Would be incredibly weird: to have all that knowledge from the Mages Guild books transferred into your brain from your other self from another dimension...

Vizier

No

Folks are lucky ZOS made CP points account wide. Now folks want Experience to be account wide too? WUT?

LordGavus

No

No. Asking for account wide achievements is one thing, but account wide skills? No.

If you account level mages guild, what about fighters, undaunted, TG, DB?
If I already leveled dual wield on one character, can I have it unlocked on the others?

xXMichonneXx

No

No. I have nothing funny or snarky to say here.

Maybe this isn't the best example of something that should be made account wide, but there should absolutely be more things that are. ESO is a game that promotes build diversity and exploring different playstyles across a wide variety of characters, but making an alt requires jumping through a few hoops that you've already jumped through. Skyshard hunting, lorebook hunting, Undaunted Rep farming, grinding Alliance War, grinding class/weapon lines, feeding horses, researching traits, leveling to 50... Yeah, those grinds are there for a reason, and they should all, in some capacity, remain in the game.

With that being said, however, forcing players to go through that full grind all over again every time they make a new character doesn't really contribute anything to the game. Feeding horses isn't fun for most people, and neither is finding lorebooks that you've already found. All it really accomplishes is making it more discouraging to make an alt. The game should encourage players to make numerous characters, not scare them away from it by piling on mindless tedium.

Make no mistake here, I don't want alts to be fully leveled and have every single skill line maxed from the moment they step out of the Wailing Prison. There needs to be a middle ground between having players work to get their alts up to speed, but making it easier each time you do it in a way that encourages exploring the game's content.

Here are some ideas off the top of my head.

• Leveling a character of one class to 50 grants an account-wide 10-15% XP boost to the class lines from other classes. For example, maxing out a Dragonknight would make the skill lines of your next Nightblade, Sorcerer, or Templar progress 10-15% faster. This would stack, encouraging players to make characters of every class to gain a much more substantial bonus to their XP.
• Make horse feeding account-wide.
• Completing a main quest in an alliance zone (such as Deshaan) grants an account-wide increase to experience in the main quests in the corresponding zones of other alliances. For example, completing the main questline in Deshaan grants an XP boost when completing quests in Stormhaven and Grahtwood (this would probably not apply to Cadwell's Silver and Gold).
• Increasing World, Guild, Alliance War, or Weapon Lines to maximum rank grants you an increase to the experience gained in those lines on other characters.

I think these changes would pretty well incentivize players to have numerous characters (and buy more character slots, ZoS), play all three alliances, and overall soften the burden of making new characters, while still preserving some level of effort required to bring a character to a competitive status.

I could second this.
Giving a bonus % to something is way better than..."oh, you did that; well here." Screw that man; griiiiiiindage...

subtlezeroub17_ESO

No, but they should include more mage and fighters guild quests and dailies to help level them up. Mages guild is absolutely hell to grind out.

That is why I only have one character with lvl10, my mageblade and my warden will be #2. After that? Never again.

Ourorboros

No

It's no chore to track down the books on PC. It takes little effort to unlock Meteor, usually right around lvl 50 unless you try to get it earlier.

Darth_Apache

No

Which type of characters benefit the most from Meteor?
Magblade, Magsorc etc.

LordGavus

No

I could see something like this working.
If I've leveled class or weapon skills to max, a xp boost for alts with the same skills would be OK.

MLGProPlayer

Yes

Yes. All the guild skill lines should be account wide.

Travelling across the entire map for 8 hours on every magicka character is not fun.

On console it must be an absolute nightmare.
