Ways to make this a better Action MMO

Auztinito

What changes could/would you make to ESO?

Boss fights be more mechanic based to allow other builds and roles to shine.
Ex: Players must keep moving to prevent freezing or Tanks must use stun skill on a boss to prevent a wipe ability.

Dungeons be more rewarding to explore not dps race. You can do that with your own team. Let players explore.

Provide players with more choice in skills and how to use them. Allow Morphs to be defining factors to a characters role in group content plus make morphs actually look/feel different from each other.

To build on the earlier point, stop balancing higher level content around hotbar switching and light-weaving. Let more players be able to feel useful.

Allow Traders to more accessible to non-guild players. Stop holding Trading hostage through Guilds. If you won’t, provide avenues for solo/new players to get rid of motifs and ect that’s not guilds.

Install a combat rating system to see the extent of a player's competence. Have a repeatable quest like the solo arenas where you are tested for dps, healing, or tanking. Depending on your score, you get a color rating similar to item quality. Players who wish can then turn on a feature in settings to display your role ranking in the form of the color. That way, if I want to pug a vet dlc hardmode, and I get a green level dps, we can replace them instantly without wasting their time and ours. That way the action of the MMO can actually be attempted with people who know the bare basics of how to play.

You could even include individual ratings for content. Have "scores" for each dungeon you do based on your personal performance. The higher your score, the higher your quality rating when you queue for dungeons.

Another thread to make this into some other game? No thanks.

I’m suggesting changing the game? Huh. I didn’t know know asking for better balance and suggesting bosses not be glorified dps races were changing the game.

So according to you, if someone doesn’t like 1 thing, don’t make the suggestion. Just shut up and play something else. Am I doing it, right?

I'll give you a good advice to folllow on this forum: NEVER dare to mention another game's name here if even for comparison, or ANYTHING. If you have an idea/opinion/suggestion or whatever, simply state it WITHOUT EVER bringing up another game's name. (Yes I had to repeat myself)

The fanboys on this forum will eat you alive and instantly dismiss any sensible ideas or suggestions you might have for actual good improvement of the game, regardless of how good the suggestions may be. You'll instantly be accused of "trying to change the game, trying to turn the game into another game, and other bla bla bla that makes absolutely 0 sense"

Just remember that when posting and you'll be okay. ESO is a pretty crappy game tbh, which can learn from multitudes of other MMOs, but mentioning them is viewed as some sort of breaking a law. Good luck

Usually those types of features lead to and create toxic environments for communities. Most leading to targeted harassment against players.

@Auztinito

Yeah. I’ve noticed. Thanks for the advice. I’ll be sure to use it.
