QoL Wishlist. Add yours!

MornaBaine

We know there will probably be some "quality of life" additions to the next major update for this game. These are "small" things, potentially easy tweaks and/or additions that players feel would just make the game more fun, pleasant or efficient without being major changes. So while a HUGE QoL improvement would be: FIX THE LAG IN CYRODIIL or GET RID OF GAMBLE BOXES or STOP PRICING PIXEL HOUSES SO OUTRAGEOUSLY... that's not what this thread is designed to address. So, to get started, here's my own list. Please add your own most desired QoL update wishes!

Day/Night toggle for player houses: Player houses are instanced so there's no need for them to follow the rest of the game's day/night cycle. Please let us decide the time of day in our own homes.

Weather for Player Houses: A little more complex but a handful of options would really be appreciated. Stormy. Clear. Light Rain. Overcast. That sort of thing. Even just a Rain/No Rain option would be grand.

Bard for Player Houses: Just 3 or 4 different looking NPCs (tho one of each race and both sexes would be amazing!) that just play instrumentals for ambience. This could be a very successful crown store item.

Radio Tamriel for Player Houses: The ability to select the music from the zone of your choice to play in your house. No associated item needed tho I suppose some Dwemer gadget could be created/used.

Vastly expanded visitor permissions for Player Houses. See the Port To Friend's House Add-On for ideas. http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info1758-PorttoFriendsHouse.html
Make visitor and ban lists house specific.

Expand Friends List to be as long as a Guild listing.

Allow only those you have designated as Decorators to turn your lights off and on in Player Housing.

Allow players to put their characters in the order of their choice on the Character Select screen.

Give players the ability to remove all tack from mounts displayed in their player house. A simple tack/no tack option when choosing a mount to display would be ideal.


I'm sure I'll remember more I've been thinking of but this is "first cup of coffee time" so that's just off the top of my head. Please add your own QoL wishes!

All I want for Crimbo is a Daily Quest Board for my house so I can pick up every daily quest I want there instead of having to trek halfway across the world for them. It's not lore-breaking; communication is a thing that happens in Tamriel and it's perfectly reasonable that a courier brings quest notices to hubs. Such as grand manors in Reaper's March that are filled with every luxury furnishing ever sold because I may or may not have been a squirrel in my past life. (We'd still turn the quests in to the quest giver, of course.)

Also, GET RID OF THE "Talk to Unmemorable NPC 2893923" (OPTIONAL) quest stages that have been all the rage since Orsinium. Or at least do not put "optional" stages on the compass unless the player chooses this (make it a settings toggle).

If I can't have those, I'll take a Dwarven Jukebox that lets me listen to Red Diamond seventy-eight times for the low, low price of a single gold coin. (Other songs are allowed in the option list. I GUESS.)

Agreed.
I don't know why this isn't in the game already.

Ragnarock41

more interactions on taverns,keeps,(mini games, etc)
For example just like how witcher 3 has gwent built inside, why can't we have the elder scrolls card game built inside eso client?
Imagine it for a second.

other than that
Day-night toggle on homes, I agree on that .

What I reallity want is spears and crossbows tho.
Okay, we both now this isnt happening, but....

A man can dream right?

Edit:
Didn't even read the post properly, lol.
For a real QoL change can we actually fix Dk?
You know, wings and chains...

necromancer.....

oh you mean QoL ?

hmmmm housing Storage.....

Flaminir

Most of mine is guild related stuff:

• Give us a guild event calendar in-game..... with a sign up function!
• Greater control over guild banks... EG: withdrawal limits to stop people taking more than X number of items per day
• Add a small guild buff for creating guild houses... eg something that you can only get by having your group all at the guild house prior to an event. It doesn't even have to be totally DPS focussed... something to make people want to use their houses as a guild hall regularly for events.
• Automated guild processes EG: When joining you receive a welcome email... when being promoted you receive a mail template saying what you now have. etc. Being able to schedule a weekly update email in advance would be great too... as well as a 'mail all guildies' function.

Dasovaruilos

1. Allow reordering of characters on login screen.

3. Allow individual respeccing of skills and morphs, like the Champion points.

3. Allow placing your other characters in your house (ultimate dream: allow quick access to their inventory).

3. Remove fast travel penalty after you travel to your house

4. Add a "Fractured" dummy with Major Fracture and Major Breach automatically applied.

5. Add a new Alchemy passive that doubles the amount of stuff you craft per time (specially for us, console players).

6. Add Writ pickup board furnishing to allow crafting in house without extra loading screen.

7. Add attribute and skill respec shrines to furniture

9. Add funcionality to the Wayshire in vMA to allow you to travel OUT without paying.

10. Add information to the guild sales emails showing from which guild they are from.

11. Add text search fucionality to guild trader UI (specially for us console players)

12. Allow to list more than one item at a time if all for the same price (for example, be able to list 5 identical items for the same price at one time instead of one by one)

13. Add read all / open all mail option

14. Redesign hirelings. Make the last passive give you better drops, but just every 24 hours or make the 2 12 hour mails stack if you logged in once instead of having to log in twice at almost perfect 12 hour intervals.

15. Change Random Dungeon, Trial Weeklys and other time gated quests to reset at a fixed time like Writs and Pledges insetad of "X time from when you completed it last". It is a nightmare to track this on multiple characters, specially the weekly trials.

16. Allow people to visit multiple houses from the same person. How come this is not a thing yet?

17. Add a fully funcional banker while in your house. Either add a "special" furniture or workstation that gives the current banker full functionality or update it to work that way once placed in a house. If you have the banker plus that workstation, you can access guild bank and store.

18. Same for merchant.

19. Add armor manequins or containers or similar. Allow us to fill the 12 slots in one item to help move them around characters. BONUS: do that for pre made skill setups, champion points and attributes too (again, more for us console players).

20. Add a "Ultimate restore" shrine or something for houses (and obviously that would only work on houses) to allow for faster DPS tests without needing to waste time building ulti over and over and over again.

21. Buy / hire / copy the Combat Metrics add on and make it available for console players. Do it as an "Account Upgrade" or something, but close this gap (not asking for a full fledge add on for consoles, just an official port or alternative for console players).

22. FIX TEMPLAR SKILLS (Sweeps and Radiant not scaling properly and hitting like wet noodles since Morrowind).

23. Allow mounting inside the bigger houses (hello Island!)

24. Add some kind of written signs for houses. Writing stuff with mini soul gems is not fun.

25. Allow a guild master to set a Guild House. Or just build a fully functioning guild hall feature.

26. Implement a "Craft Bag" for Furniture.

27. Show the current quest on crafting UI (allowing us to SEE the daily crafting writ or Master Writ while on the crafting UI - more for console players)

LadyAstrum

1) Naming Pets: When I name my non-combat pet, combat pet or mount, can the name actually show, please? It's not a secret. I'm not ashamed for Tamriel to know what my pets/mounts are called.

2) Furniture Storage: Can we please have a special storage area solely for furniture. We have one for craft items, why not furniture? Keeping them in bags and the bank is not great for keeping things organised.

3) Crafting Writ Quests: Can I please see what I need to make while still in the crafting window? It's very inconvenient to have to keep closing it to look.

4) Guild Traders: Can we search items by name, please?

5) Housing: Co-ownership of houses so that myself and my beau can have the same full control over a house. In order for me to place furniture in his house, he must be online to trade, and then place it for me to pick it up and move it around. It's highly inconvenient.

6) Housing Storage I can't express how many times I've wanted to pop some items into a chest in my house so that my boyfriend can go and help himself, or simply to store a few favourite items for myself. Can you kindly reconsider this aspect of the homestead experience. It would be nice to actually be able to use the chests as...you know...chests.

7) Bed Interaction: No, not like that! Just to click on a bed to sleep, like on chairs we can sit down.

Replace the Guild store UI with Awesome guildstore addon.. for everyone.

Warbow7

A way to save my champion point load-outs, so that i can switch between pve and pvp faster.

Nocturnal_Annoyance

I would definitely like to be able to set the time of day at my house. Since one third of my furnishings are lights/glowy things, needless to say it looks better at night.
-Speaking of furnishings...an increased cap would be nice. 600 for Hundings is not enough. At least another 100 would be great.
-Fish cutting... since I save all my fish until I finish getting the rare ones in a zone I often end up with 500 plus fish to cut. A cut all option would be absolutely fantastic. Yesterday I cut 756 fish after finishing Auridon... IT TOOK FOREVER.
- On console since our trading guilds are weekly fee oriented, it would be so much easier if there was a way to promo a player from the deposits screen. Right now my system for dealing with deposits... I look at the deposit history, write down names and amounts, then cruise through the roster to do appropriate promotions for weeks paid. This can definitely be simplified.

That's all I got for now... if I remember more I will definitely add to it.

Carbonised

Motif/appearance transmog in 2018. Hells, I'd be satisfied if I get only that.

- Alliance change token
- Class change token

QoL for me means anything that can make my time in ESO enjoyable and having those tokens will make me spend much more time in ESO (right now I am on a break).

Filters at equipment crafting stations, especially in the decon and improvement views:

- filtering between inventory and banked items
- filtering between light and medium at the clothing station (would be equivalent to the weapons/armor filter at the blacksmithing and woodworking stations)
- filtering items by name, i.e. a text search function
- filtering by item type

Similar filters would also be great for the inventory. For that, as I play on PC, I can use an addon right now, but it should really be a base game feature, so no addon is needed and consoles get it, too.

Elsonso

A lot of good ideas, so far.

Run a query on the top 10 add-ons that PC players are using to fix the UI and make it usable, then simply schedule an equivalent enhancement for the game. They probably already know what these things are, so they just need to do the work.

1. Improved mail function. Mail arrives when sent, not on a timer or when changing zones. Add a Reply to sender feature.

2. Guild store search and sorting. Yeah... make Awesome Guild Store for everyone.

3, Guild Finder. Let people search for guilds rather than being limited to picking from the people spamming zone chat. Should be able to request membership to the guild from this, if the guild allows such, and find any guild in the game using it.

4. Better inventory, bank, and guild bank sorting, and add a search feature. Guild bank should auto-stack. Guild members should be able to see guild bank content even if they cannot take from the bank.

5. Allow me to craft more than one thing at a time. Show me writ quest goals in the crafting window.

6. Manually arrange the order of the characters on the character select screen

7. Zone-wide weather. If it is raining for me, then it should be raining for everyone.

8. Player summoned combat pets are unimportant when compared to characters, monsters, and interactive objects. When they get between me and one of those things, they should be the least important thing. They should not block me from seeing the name of the player they are standing in front of (reticule). They should not block me from being able to interact with chests and NPCs. They should vanish when I am zoomed in and talking to an NPC.

9. Snakes, rabbits, squirrels, scorpions, mice, and other level 1 animals are not more important than the boss that I am fighting. I don't want to attack them instead. Really, I don't.

This is because weather is, for reasons that utterly elude me, CLIENT SIDE when it should be SERVER SIDE. Yes ZOS, PLEASE fix this as it's been driving me nuts since launch when I looked over at my husband's screen to see he was enjoying a nice sunny day while on MY screen it was pouring rain.... AND OUR CHARACTERS WERE STANDING SIDE BY SIDE.

SaintSubwayy

1. Remove Low Population Bonus in PVP
2. Lock Campains based on which Alliance you choose for the Duration
3. Buff PVE DPS for Magplar, Magdk, Magden
4. Make Mechanicly Challenging PVE Content, which doesnt rely on any RNG, no Purge RNG ect. (should be movement heavy, but still
Meely Friendly), maybe even for once not Range friendly?
5. give all classes an ego Purge, like Templar and Wardens already have atm
6. Add new Support sets for Healers
7. change Mistform, to give minor and Major Protection, to prevent stacking Mistform + minor / major Protection -> Silimar
to all minor and major Buffs now
8. Transmorg ( already inc. as far as we know)
9. Jewelry Upgrading, or even Crafting
10. Finally fix old buggs, like Feeding pit in SO
11. Improve the Guildstore (For Console players espacially)

Dawnblade

Remove the "You will log out in 10 seconds" timer, if not everywhere when not in combat, at least in places such as around the shrine / stables in Vulkhel Guard that should be considered 'safe'.

Add decorations to collections, use once to learn - stored in collections and available to all characters to place - not stored as an inventory item in bags.

Add an option to allow players to determine which level of materials to gather in the open world (even a toggle to make materials zone specific such as before 1T).

Hire a UI designer (functional over form) to redo the game's UI (crafting is especially bad) - or just crib the changes made by the popular add-ons.

Update the guild store system to a game wide system, or at least provide some sort of query interface to all in capitals (no, I don't find watching a dozen loading screens to find something engaging), and update the UI to allow actual text based search as well as to display / sort by basic information such as unit price.

Set a daily reset time for ALL things in game, horse training, dungeons, dailies, etc.

Similar with hirelings, just have them deliver the items once / twice per day based on logging in once during a 24 hour cycle.

Add a multiple build / spec / CP system - charge a lot of gold to unlock or whatever - but allow players to store two or more 'sets' that can be swapped at little to no cost once saved, and / or allow changing specific skill lines and morphs.

EDIT TO ADD: Put the world location name on the quests - such as with Mages Guild where the same NPC is in different zones depending on the quest / stage.

anadandy

- Keyword or better search function for traders
- Improved mail, a reply to feature would be amazing!
- More interactive furnishing which includes...
- Ability to emote while sitting. Right now the sitting idle make me look like I have fleas, constantly scratching! If I could /drink, /eat, /laugh, etc. while sitting that would be such an improvement.

And please auto stow pets when entering a bank...

Guild bank item stacking in-bank would be awesome

Thicker khajiit tails too, they look like rats.

And a stables in Bol Foyan

menedhyn

Three, chosen from a list of many:

1. Torches: the main roads are well lit, but for those of us who venture off the beaten path, some sort of illuminaton would be useful
2. Utility spells / features: predominantly calm or pacification for use on animals when questing - a minor aid that my nature-loving Warden would welcome (and a bit of fun for RP)
3. Multiple emotes: being able to sit in certain places is a start. Being able to play your drums when walking, quaff a flagon of ale while sitting, etc. could be fun.

8) Grouping: Can you please fix or alter the invisble party-member thing. If we're in a party we should see each other without needing to zone or relog.

phileunderx2

Let me decide the default view on my map. Hate that it is always local first then world. I want it the other way around. And give us a mini map. Love it on pic but it shouldn't be an add on.

Actually, this reminds me of something. In dungeons, the markers above the characters should reflect the role they are in (fake or not).

Thannazzar

1. TRANSMOG (the ability to construct costumes or overlay/change the appearance of existing armor and weapons)

2. GUILD RESOURCES (Access to guild bank through a banker decoration in guild house; Guild Tabards fixed on DLC armor, Guild Barded Mount's, Guild Banner decorations)

3. HOMESTEAD (Increased Decoration limit in homes, Decorations bag for subscribers, remove lightsource toggle from all but house owner)

badmojo

Hide helmet toggle on the collections screen.
