Which features from other games would be good in ESO?

As per the title and please no mention of flying mounts.

For example Guild Wars 1 had a neat feature where you could draw on the minimap to plan tactics with your group. This would work really well in difficult dungeons and Cyrodiil.

4k, HDR, and some video options that work on my PS4.

Gilvoth

ability to "hold in your arms" your lover. and walk around with "your lover" in your arms, showing off your love for eachother.

Grayfax

When in a group and everyone is looking at the map, make a way to mark a location so that everyone can see it at the same time. Describing things that don't exist on someone else's map and trying to coordinate would be so easy with a single pin drop or echo blip...

Better graphics and character models.

LadyNalcarya

Graphics and character models of BDO (that character creator is truly awesome). Honestly, graphics and combat from that game + ESO lore, content and marketing model would make a nearly perfect mmo.

Also sometimes I miss Dark Souls parry mechanics and plunge attacks, it would be OP as hell though.

Roxie5D

A dedicated photo mode or more freedom with the camera would be amazing! With depth of field, aperture, filters etc.

Cadbury

Destiny 2's light levels
FFXIV Free Company airships
Neverwinter's combat
Warframe's Dojos
BDO's PvP

ZeroXFF

Global auction house.

WacArnold

Teleportation from diablo 2.

Gilvoth

"Mark" and "Recall" spells from morrowind

Fiedelstrich

1. Big world bosses like those in Guild Wars 2 (the fight against Tequatl was/is amazing!).

2. Light and heavy attacks that feel a bit like the Souls/Borne games and Warhammer: Vermintide had a child. Now that light attacks are for damage it needs to feel that way - at the moment they're not really fun to use. At least make them quicker or give them some new animations - let me feel that there is weight behind each swing!

@Fiedelstrich I agree entirely. I love Soulsborne games and I think they've ruined combat in other games for me. This game feels like swinging a pool noodle at something in the next county. It just feels bad and floaty.

@LadyNalcarya I find myself performing dramatic leaps off of ledges at enemies to. . . no real benefit in this game, but it's just the instinct. lol

jedtb16_ESO

none...

iiYuki

Consolidated auction house, even if we keep the stupid guild traders there should be a place that allows people to access ALL traders inventory's on a faction or from a zone.

Seconded on Neverwinters combat.

That was a system designed for PVE. And we need one of those.

The feature in GW2 where if you change characters while you are in a group, you are still in the group and the group knows you are on a different character.

Treasure chests that you can leave your rubbish in.

Same!
And I agree, Souls combat is much more fluid and impactful. It's also worth noting that it's very "play as you want", much more so than ESO. I mean, there's not many games that allow you to dual wield shields or kill all bosses at level 1.

BDO's PvP is current dog poop bad.

At level 1, naked, with nothing but a torch. I saw some of that Bloodborne playthrough. You could never do something like that in ESO. lol It irritates me sometimes how reliant this game is on gear, and that its concept of escalating difficulty revolves around higher numbers and throwing more stuff on the screen. There's nothing visceral about it.

Eh, I think it's ok. At least it's not Tera levels of bad.

Maybe I'm biased since I main Wiz.

I play native 4K with HDR. Please, they don't need to bring upscaled fake 4k from consoles to PC version.

Unless you meant they aren't properly working on the console.

I would like to see a companion system added similar to SWTOR or Final Fantasy 11. Those always bring more depth to the characters and make solo play more interesting.

It would also enable the developers to make the landscape content more difficult because newer players could use companions to help them.

Tromso

A Tundra Mammoth for vending and repairs in the field.

Tarantolos

I would prefer some things, my main focus is - I think - not possible cuz it means a massiv work for programmers:

I miss the underwater-part in every river, sea and lake, finding plants and more underwater, maybe some dungeons like Archage, that would be nice but I understand, it means creating a whole new world.

I would be happy about more interaction in the housing like Runes of Magic Housemaids, talking, giving you some buffs etc.

And my 3th wish - I am not happy but agree with the guild-vendors . But plz give us a search-function just typing the name of item and find it

Tromso

Hear hear to a search facility at guild vendors!!

Turelus

All of EVE Onlines changes to reduce server loads.
(Okay, maybe not TiDi as that would be awful in an action based game)

I think I would settle for taking most of the search/information features from various games auction houses or stores, something to take all the pain points of the current guild traders away without killing off the guild trader system.

Background loading of everything so there are not loading screens
