Wanted Features

Elekest

I've been kinda thinking a lot lately about certain things not currently (if ever) in ESO that I'd love to see/have. Some cosmetic, some "gear", some helpful tools, etc. And I began to wonder what are the features that ESO is lacking that YOU want in the game? Regardless of what it is, I'm curious and think this could be a very fun and exciting discussion, even if we never get any of it, it's still kinda fun to think about it.

For instance, I desperately want capes. I think with ESO's gear and crafting system the possibilities could be endless. It could be a "back" or "neck" gear piece that players could craft with variants of light, medium and heavy armor and different styles based on racial motifs. And it wouldn't have to be limited to just capes, per se. Like a light armor "neck" piece could be something like a scarf or half cape, medium could be a long cloth/thin leather cape, and heavy could be like a thick trench coat or something. I understand that not all players, heck maybe even most ESO players don't even want capes, so ZOS could include the option in settings to display cape or not, like with head gear. It would give players an extra piece of crafting bonus and add infinite more customization options and styles to the players' appearance.

Secondly, I think spears would be great. Maybe even introduce a new skill line or two specifically for spears. Make them similar to swords in the sense you can have a two handed spear, a one handed spear and shield, or one handed sword and short-ish one handed spear. As with the capes, more variety and options for players. The more the better.

Lastly, I feel like the simple tool of "inspect player" is greatly lacking from ESO. I was shocked years ago when I first got to play beta that ESO didn't have a player inspection tool and even more shocked when the game launched without one. As far as my experience goes, ESO is the only MMO I've played without an "inspect player" tool. Heck even Destiny has one and it's not technically an MMO.


So what do you guys think? What are some tools/features/cosmetics/combat additions you would love to see in ESO?

Sorry, couldn't help it

Anyways, Capes are more than likely never gonna happen. I think ZOS did add them to the game during Alpha (?) but they caused a lot of lag and didn't render properly so they were ditched.

Features that I wanna see are:

- Transmog System: It's coming, yay ^^ Hopefully soon
- Token System: no more endless Arena runs
- Improvements to the Group Finder: make it actually work for starters, Trial queues, Option to select DLC dungeons for random normal/vet, Battlegrounds match type select,... just to name a few

Panomania

I'd love to see improvements to harvesting/gathering....perhaps even something like Vanguard's group harvesting system. I'd love to see more quests with genuine storylines tying in crafting, harvesting andf adventuring, including possibly harvesting corpses/unique nodes in trials, vet content, etc..

I'd love to see ZOS publicly, once and for all, state that ESO wont have capes, tights, vivid 9 color armors and shoulder pads larger than a characters chest

I'd love to see more functionality with housing, and a genuine, sensible guild house system with perks unavailable in regular houses.

For a start

Panomania

Oh, and one more: I'd love to see ZOS find a way to absolutely kill dolmen groups. This is Tamriel's equivalent of government funded education, churning out institutionalized incompetence and stupidity in massive numbers.

Stovahkiin

Hmm. Fix group finder(s) as a start. I'm also a fashion freak so I'd love to see more new equipment styles that semi-regularly appear throughout the game (as in, not crown store exclusive motifs).

@Elekest the inspect player option would be great to make the game more transparent to for new players. But unfortunately alot of ppl are adamant that it will ruin the game for them (ruin there ability to be carried by others imo) but in the end I think it would help alot. No rational reason to not have it.

I heard once before that Matt Firor said a long time ago that ESO will NEVER have capes. My heart breaks. I love capes and my ranger style NB NEEDS a cape, dang it! But yeah, sounds more like a personal choice on Zenimax's part. I'd find it hard to believe they'd be in the MMO business at all if they can't manage something like capes. Haha

How in the heck would it ruin the game? People are dumb. Honestly, I only ever use inspection tools to figure out what that bad mf is wearing cause it looks awesome. LOL That's really are I want it for. Which each new DLC I see players wearing new gear I have no idea what it is and player inspection would help solve that.

All the things listed so far are great. Clearly group finder needs work.

I have it. Rocked it for awhile, but it's just not quite the same. Besides, the Breton hero in the cinematic had an actual on top of what the costume is in the game. Pure awesome in the trailers, less awesome in game. But I know I'm just being nit picky now.

It wouldn't but then again you are dealing with irrational people. People assume if there build isn't up to par they will be kicked from raids but in reality folks only care about how you perform. If your good at mechanics groups will usually let things like that slide. All in all I agree with you but I just don't see the casuals of this game letting it happen.

If this game could basically have all the modern amenities and features that GW2 provides I would be so happy.

I would like a portable decon station so I can decon all the crap I get without having to port somewhere.

I want my WEAPON DYES.

And a proper one-hand sword skill line with no shield, perhaps with magic in the off-hand, and perhaps some abilities involving crowd control and armor penetration... Just a proper damage-focused one-hand sword.

YES to ALL of this! I couldn't agree more. But then, I'm partial to capes and bandanas.

I'll take your weapon dye and raise you one weapon dye AND weapon naming. In Skyrim, when we crafted a weapon AND enchanted it, we also had the option to give that weapon a special name. I've wanted something like that since the game launched as well. Plus, gear related, it would be SO helpful that when we hover our cursor over a gear item, it also tell us what motif if was crafted in. That would be really nice too.

Weapon naming....... yes!!!!! 100%

Having done Darkshade with a random group made me realize i want that pull skill healers get in some mmo. Seeing someone heading toward that firebreathing dwemer boss to meet his probable doom? Pull. Only one dd is on the adds that keep bulding up in number? Pull. Angry green boss, yet everyone is nicely spread out? Pulling.

I request that skill as a feature.

I would like to see better compass markers when playing with friends, you can only see the leader with the crown and would like to see markers for all players on the compass tool.

More organization in the bank now they doubled ESO Plus users to Bank, Jewelry, Aromor, Weapons , Consumables etc when instead of having to go top to bottom 100's of slots

Fix group finder as stated above
