Console Quality of Life Improvement

crjs1

Great suggestions. I am not too fussed about combat metrics or combat add ons (would lead to MORE elitism) but for the love of god improve inventory management with tabs. Skill load outs and bulk crafting would be great too.

Plus guilds should be searchable. I would like to see lore books and shards added to the map too. That’s my wish list!

Sony refuses to allow add-ons to their consoles (which is why their Fallout community is pitifully small compared to other platforms just for an example) which I find hilarious. I'm obviously all for add-ons for the xbox master race (especially so I can find these damn skyshards). The only QoL improvements I really need are; batch crafting/refining/filetting, colourblind mode (yes I know you can charge attack area colours but that doesn't help when you can't really see what's going on anywhere in some areas, CoA being the worst area for me) and a minimap.

I also got a laugh out of the obvious pricegougers who jumped up to oppose a master merchant add-on.

I agree with that last paragraph. The economy is fine on PC so their strawman of ruining the markets is a real joke to me. In Rawl’Kha today Rosins were 7k each when they aren’t worth more than 4K(I bought a stack for 500k yesterday from a non-bot), but most people don’t have a reasonable way to determine their actual value and instead have to suffer those crazy prices

Honestly PC is easy mode compared to console.

We were so excited for just the buff tracker, they didn't even give us a skill tracker lol.

They can't even fix the Cyrodiil lag issues for 4 years ...

No combat metrics and no combat related add ons that tell a player when he/she should reactivate a skill. That takes away yet another skill-based aspect from the game. I'm still against buff trackers tbh.

The fact that the game has been out on consoles for over three years without a text search function in guide stores is absolutely mind-boggling.

It would be awesome if we could preview furnishings from chat. Did someone say there's a live panel tomorrow? When and where??? I checked for an ESO Live announcement, but didn't find any

Batch Crafting/Refining - Let me cook 100 servings of Pasty Longfin, or filet 200 fish. I just sold almost 50 stacks of fish because I wasn't even remotely interested in sitting there and mindlessly hitting a button 10,000 times, just to clear those fish from my inventory, and hopefully being blessed by RNGeesus.

This is possible on console but only with the use of Cronus Max, but you didn't hear it from me.

no ETA

we are working on it

I would not get my hopes up that zos actually does some improvements. Just look at how pc is, they have to create addons for the most basic things like multi crafting or an useful guild trader interface because zos still has not improved this basic things. There are so many little basic things that would need improvement even on PC.

TBH, I actually trust the community rep I’ve spoken to about this to really try to look out for us. It’s our job to just make sure we have an updated list of things console is missing and keep harping on how large a percentage of the actual population we are. The squeaky wheel gets the oil and all.

ZoS has population numbers and they know who makes them the most money. I’d be shocked if PC has more population and spending power than consoles considering console gaming is more popular than PC, has less competition inside the genre, and has twice as many servers

Master merchant is stupid and unnecessary, plus prices for anything will plummet, the undercuting will be horrible. just a search bar and I'll be fine.

Combat metrics yes, dressing room yes, other then that,I hate these cookie-cutter addons, practically holding everybodies hands because the simple task at hand is just oh so difficult for you to do all of a sudden.

You can not imagine how auto craft writ addon is a help if you have 14 toons to do writs.

Similarly lorebook, skyshards, TTC/MM, inventory insight are a great help.

I play on PC and PS4 and can tell how painful console (ps4) is.

Combat metrics, can't stress this enough

Fully custom buff trackers too would be a great addition

I'm fine with add-ons 100% but we need something, if ZoS want to put in the work to bring some of this to base game I'm all for it

The biggest hinderance to quality of life on console is lacking a text search option for guild stores, IMO. It’s not so bad when you’re searching for a commonly-sold item (e.g. Ravager rings), but searching for less-common items or specific motif chapters? What a nightmare. There have been certain set combos I’ve been interested in trying out that I’ve simply given up on because it is such a pain in the ass to find them in guild stores, and I don’t want to waste time grinding only to discover that what seemed good in theory isn’t so good in practice. It’s bad enough having to go to multiple guild stores for a particular item in the absence of a centralized AH; not being able to search for items just adds insult to injury.

With mouse and keyboard support coming to Xbox next week (https://www.theverge.com/2018/11/10/18083040/xbox-one-keyboard-mouse-support-features-launch-november) I can only hope that it will eventually be supported in ESO

The main QOL improvements for consoles that I'd like to see would be 1) Support for keyboard and mouse, and 2) A "performance" option to lower the graphics settings for higher FPS.

vBRP is a nightmare with these low framerates.

Skyshards and lorebooks book maps as well as guild store keyword search are things I'd like to see.

What you mean quality of life update for ps4? Prople are still wasting money on that sub+ and spending up on those overpriced crowns....

Everything is working just fine for their business model

What I would like to see is colour sliders so we can tweak how the game looks. I know it's not on PC either but seeing all the shaders and what I can do with nVidia Experience I think it would be great as well. Seeing how great the graphics are on a PC monitor with the Xbox One X (I guess it's the same for PS4 Pro) I really wish I could make those changes.

Also another quality of life I would love is to be able to transfer my character to Xbox One X to PC. This way I am playing with the same 8 characters instead of the 16.
