Obvious features that NOT in the game since 2014

Masty_Spy

We are playing modern MMO in 2019. Why we dont have (without addons):

1) Party leader mark in group chat. It could be small crown icon before name or just [LEADER] prefix
2) Info about ready check. Who is not ready? Why SOMEONE?
3) Expected wait time on dungeon finder not working
4) "IN COMBAT" icon in party info
5) 3D markers or NPC marking like in WoW (skull, cross, etc). 3d ground marker really needed
6) Ability to see not active skill morphs

Extend this list pls

@ZOS_GinaBruno can we expect this QoL features?

Canadagreen

I agree. I HOPE wait time will be fixed in U24

1) Doesn't the group leader has a crown already?!
2) Why do you need to know who's not ready?!
3) Finder tool is broken, we know.
4) The music playing let's you know if you're in combat or not, doesn't it?
5) Markers are more than fine, why do you think it needs to be in 3D?! Ground marker really necessary for what?!
6) What's the point to see inactive skill morphs? You know which are the morphs when you are required to chose one...

1 - He said "in chat"
2 - Because then you can address that person directly in Discord or by PM!
3 -
4 - Many people have the music switched off or listen to their own
5 - I don't quite understand this one either
6 - You can already switch off other player's Fx

When someone releases a modern MMO, rather than a crappy Asian conversion, a re-vamp of vanilla or some indie MMO that stays in Alpha forever, I'll let you know. Dead genre.

Tommy_The_Gun

Group finder support for trials and arenas...
(Seriously, I can't think of any reason why it is still not in game...)

1) in group chat. Realy helpfull in huge raids. We shouldnt press P and MEMORIZE raid leader.
2) This will help to wake up people. "PING" feature will be nice too
3) Waiting for U24, ok
4) Sometimes we cant open the door or crate because of COMBAT STATE of someone in party. We should know who cause this.
5) Look at WoW ground markers. Really helpful in trials.
ZOS can implement this via Quick-slot system. Just assign new "command rose" for some button. Leader only feature ofcourse
6) Why we are forced to be near shrine just to see our morphs?. Thats Not good.

Functionalities we should have without addons ? Allright, I'm game.

- A minimap that you could toggle on / off, because you might want to use it, or not
- Movable interface elements. Some 15+ years old MMOs allow you to move the quest log, ressource bars and whatnot anywhere you want, so the technology does exist.
- Inventory management tools, such as sorting items by armor type, for instance.
- Manageable quest log, which allows to select several quests to display at the same time in any order we like.

There are more, but hey, that would be a good start.

We REALLY need a mini-map on console. Leading raids in PvP would be so much easier if qthe team could look up at the map and determine the whole teams positioning without spinning around 360.

Of you're on xbox there is a hardware app that allows you to remap the controller.

Interesting, but I'd rather an ingame method like the pc has. Input lag is godawful at the best of times. One button for mount, rez, map; dual impress buttons for synergies, double bumpers for ulti. It's a roll of the dice if you ever get the one you want. I play my controller on PC. First thing I did, set synergy to d-pad down, ulti to d-pad right; rez to left stick click and hold. I never misfire with some random bs like on xbox. Just a little QoL I wish I had on console too.

1000% agree!!!

Also, found new one - guild calendar.

burglar

Add Survey and Treasure Map locations to zone guide after visiting each respective location; please don't make us purchase these with crowns or something. As an adventurer, it's always baffled me why our characters can't keep a journal of places they've been. There are so many surveys now, I can't remember where every single one is.

On that note, allow us to harvest all surveys for a given location. Make the quantity of surveys for a given location a multiplier for each node at that location, after it's been harvested. It's an all day endeavor clearing them out sometimes I have taken to just avoiding doing them. I feel like you guys are just trying to force us to stay in game longer. If so, make a better game, not tricks to keep us in game!

Oh I really miss the 5th. I used to be very often a group leader in Aion PvP and PvPvE content and those markings was the most important task of leader because even without voice com group could coordinate their attacks much better, also in PvE content you could mark tragets to not attack etc.etc. This was really important task because good leader could double the group effectiveness (even pug one), it's one of the features I miss a lot here.

But I guess it would also create more hate towards organised groups who would be able to coordinate even better.

@ZOS_RichLambert previously stated something along the lines of "we can't even get the regular group finder for dungeons and battlegrounds properly working correctly yet, so what makes you think we can do one for trials & arenas."

Not to mention the fact that trials & arenas require a lot more teamwork and proper coordination and preparation than any lolPUGvetDungeon does.

idk

Some of those are important. Though for the leader it just needs an icon. Spelling out leader takes up far to much space. If a person cannot recognize a symbol there are not going to be able to read the word leader. Oh, and symbols cross all languages.

Expecting the expected wait time for GF to be meanful is not realistic. It should be removed and be done with it. How can Zos predict reliably when it will have a tank, healer and two dps it can pair together. This should be pretty obvious that it just will not work.

We have in combat markers over each character. No need for this to be in more than one place.

Being able to tag targets is a not really needed. As someone who has raided and lead raids here for over 5 years and has raided where markers could be placed I have not once find a need or want to mark targets in ESO. With out a good reason, good example I doubt this will get much attention from Zos.

The ability to see not active skill morphs does not make sense.

So the proper list is.

1. Being able to designate assistant leaders.
2. Icons for both ready and not ready showing up on all party members. The vote continues for 15 seconds are until all votes are in. Pretty standard stuff here.

3. We have a crown over the leaders head, Having a second icon to mark assistant leads would be needed both over their head and when looking at the party in the party window. That is more important then it being marked in the group frame.

Hallothiel

On ps4 group leader is marked by a crown. Is that what you mean?

They are talking about the group frame. If you are not familiar with a group or lead changes it is helpful.

Edit: it is helpful to be able to quickly pick them out if you need to whisper them. But that is a good point.

I play on the PC and because we have addons for this it makes it so much easier. I can only imagine how frustrating it can be to a raid leader not have this same feature and being able to see where everyone is.

For you console players -- I vote for this one too!

-Account wide settings instead of having to set everything the way you want it when you create a fresh character each time.


-Treasure map and survey locations as part of the maps filter, instead of needing add ons.


-A way to track/verify guild bank deposits, that won't be affected every dam time they turn off guild history.


-A basic way to see are sales figures from guild stores, not expecting something like MM collating all past sales, just a simple ledger that shows how much I sold in each guilds guild store and the taxes paid, with a total at the bottom.


-Being able to max riding skills in the same way we max bank/bag space not a stupid 20hr cool down, just add a higher gold fee if you still want people to buy the riding lessons, its usually only the broke newer players or those with gold to spend on crowns that buy them anyway.


-A Way shrine unlocked in each zone's main hub or start point by default, this should have been added with One Tamriel. It will put an end to the constant asking for teleports to zones in zone chat.


-Scrap the Way shrine fee's we unlocked them we should be able to use them for free without needing to walk up to one, we still have to ride/walk to are destination see not issue in eliminating the senseless need to ride back to a shrine.(less of an issue if your in a guild or have a big friends list)


-That's all I can think of just felt like adding an extra sentence before I call it a night.

WeerW3ir

- Change your characters background according to the same zone he is in? Like if you left or parking your characters in grahtwood. you have the tree as background, or if summerset, then alinor? etc.
- reply button as they said?
- ingame Bestiary. (no, still not the other one, you filthy minded)
- Spellcrafting
- Searchbar into collections, invetory menu
- Russian, Polish, Hungarian language
- function to copie&paste ingame. example: c&p champion points.
- live chat&phone support for ESO
- smartloot. (no more bows for magicka sets, or staves for stamina
- a full new hud with minimap and better questlog with pinnable achievements
