ESO needs an Expansion.

Duskruler

DLC are fun and much needed but now after 4 years its the same old same old, we need a full blown expansion.

3 new areas.
Flying mounts...area in the clouds or mountain tops only accessible by flying.
Boats...buy a boat and sail to new islands all the while getting attacked by sea monsters, upgrade your ships armor and sea weapons.
Underwater exploration....new breath holding perk to lvl up, ship wrecks to find, sunken cities, under water cave entrances..subterranean area. Can input new quests/areas in old zones with this new perk.
3 or more new mats to harvest (each category).
New monsters (Summerset was cool but now I want a griffin to fly).
Mounted combat...buy a warhorse and train/lvl him, forge horse armor, mounted weapons.
New race, and new warrior type.
4 full armor sets to collect that are needed for certain areas or dungeons. (fire, frost, poison and lightning sets) need full set to survive areas.

Of coarse a full blown expansion would mean a full game price and im more then willing to purchase one.
The reason for this post is, I love ESO but im starting to have a hard time to log on...something like this would re-ignite my excitement.

What would you like to see in an expansion?

I'd like a working game first.

It wont happen this game is a two foot deep ocean. They are happy making it larger just not better

Dear god, please, NEVER flying...

But having a boat sounds cool.

In any other game of this type, these would be called “expansions" – but ESO is a game unlike any other. Because ESO is not level-based, Chapters don't fit the general definition of an “expansion," which typically, in MMO-speak, means it is aimed only at existing (and usually high level) players. Chapters in ESO are different. Each ESO Chapter will feature a self-contained story and zone that can be experienced by itself without needing to travel out to the main game. Our content is never level-gated, which means you can play Chapters with an existing character, or a completely new one.

Numbers added by me.
1) No. ZOS should go back and add depth to existing areas first (e.g. all the locked doors in Morrowind).
2) No. Ground-level will become depopulated almost instantly (except for quest/crafting hubs). ZOS also never made the maps to support it, so they'd have to put in a massive amount of work to do this.
3) Yeah, why not. The slaughterfish barrier could remain but woud no longer be an "invisible wall".
4) ZOS did a whole article about why this can't happen in this game using this engine.
5) Dear. God. No. This would require an addition tier of gear and given how many mats are required for CP160, I can only imagine how hard it would be to get enough mats for CP170 etc.
6) If they are in lore... then by all means.
7) Could be interesting.
8) See (6)
9) No more armour sets. We have massive gear bloat already.

So... 4 out of the 9 I would like to see.

But really, the DLC/Chapter model doesn't bother me all that much as a compromise between the sub-ony original description of the game and they way it now seems to be going. I really would like to see the concentrate more on depth than on bredth.

I wouldn't mind flying. But, I would prefer flying being unlocked until a bunch of quests have been done. Ya know, have to work for it and such.

When you say expansion, what you want is a significant change in the capabilities of the game, in addition to a larger addition to the world space. Won't happen. At least, not in a single thing. As has been said already, they don't want to do that. The best we will get is annual Chapters, each with a new zone and story, plus one or two game play additions. These game play additions will be mostly smaller type things. Skill lines. A class. Maybe a couple QoL changes. One will probably include Spell Crafting, which will probably be the last system they will roll out for ESO.

Hopefully, no flying.

That would mean "doing actual work" and "creating something". But why would they when everyone is silly enough to lap up all those overpriced crowns and keep on subscribing to a 'craft bag' (which btw is a weak reason, other mmos the bag is free anf apart of the game, not paywalled).
The recycling centre of reskins is working great for them.

Eso needs a fix first, which wont happen. It to late in its life cycle for it.
