A new class or an extra gear slot?

Ashenkin

If you were to choose between two meta shakes, what would be more interesting or a better addition in your opinion? a new item slot (e.g. trinket or earring)? I think an extra item slot would make things go a little bit crazy

BlueRaven

New class

I like new classes they usually come with new character slots.

2 new skill lines. One for magik, one for stamina. Not positive in what form they should take. 1h+Rune for magik, other weapon or Companion line for stamina?

Ohh tough one.

I have been dreaming of being able to use 2 5 piece sets, a monster set AND a mythic (disregarding a bar push)

But, I also think t he 6 classes we have are getting stale. I want to play something new, but every time I go to make a character I just feel like I am doing what I have already done.

I desperately want to play an engineer/tinker/artificer class...so for now, I'ma go with new class.

Why not both?

peacenote

New class

Ooo, fun.

Actually, @Raideen 's idea of an engineer sounds fun and I think there is space for it in ESO, so I picked that. Let's get that going.

I would not like to see another new class that lends itself to support, like a bard, even though I'm a musician, because I think support is too diluted and unappreciated already. Although I could see ESO being a bit comedic - I would enjoy a bard line that excels at DPS.

I also would like to see a new weapon line. Something like an orb or anything for ranged DPS that isn't staves.

I think the current trade-off we have when choosing to use a mythic is important and I think another item slot could be problematic, although I guess it would depend what they did with it.

This is very interesting! I always dreamed of a dagger/magic tome skill line! Something with Telekinesis and space manipulation spells!

New class

Any excuse for more character slots? Yes please! You don't want to play the new class? Here's 3 extra character slots!

I wanna see what would ppl choose if they had to :P

colossalvoids

New item slot

After necro I'd actually pass on a new class if that's also as half baked. I surely want a new weapon or a lack of weapon line - melee martial one, just look at endboss of BDV, ultimate badassery and a conjured flaming sword, I want to play that.

Earrings slot sounds interesting though, but I wonder what stats could it possibly have to justify its existence. Not sure we really need that but if zos would have an idea I won't oppose more customisation.

I agree with you, a new class might be hard to nail but 2 new skill lines would be very interesting! an item slot would also increase customization, but as @peacenote suggested that might be a little bit problematic... perhaps ZoS can manage to balance things out by reducing the damage output or something like that (PTR is always there)

New weapon skill lines: One hand and rune and pugilist (claws, knuckles, etc.).

New weapon type: Pure Magicka destruction staff.

I noticed that fire/ice/lightning have their respective staves but we have no pure magic damage weapon, Maybe an orb, rune or tome can do
P.S: I love the pugilist idea!

I'd love to see "hands" as a weapon for casters, as in weaving spells. Maybe out of a spell book. That would be cool. But rune hands work for me as well.

_Zathras_

New class

I’d love to see some sort of EQ Enchanter/GW2 Mesmer hybrid.

Dumbfire pets like the Necro blastbones, that cause various effects depending on the skill tree. Aoe and single target glamours. Illusory damage with flair.

I think Mesmer is one of the most unique classes I've ever seen in an MMO before

Class or gear slot?

You might as well ask between Cheese and Potatoes. If you are going to present only two choices and have people choose between them at least have some similarity otherwise the choice is meaningless.

New weapon skill line, so that mages can have an option if they don't want to use a staff.

Furcas00

New class

I would probably prefer something tech based. We have a lot of Dwemer stuff lying around. A class based around it's use would be pretty neat. No pets though. Good grief pets are overdone in mmos and always come with loads of baggage/issues.

Another way to expand on the idea of new skill lines, is to add new Morphs for existing skills.

Bard skill line, Magic a based - buff/debuffs that can be speced into DPS or Heals

Staff skill line, Sta based - lots of AoE attacks and stuns, DPS or Tanking

New race, then maybe new Magicka weapon skill line and new class. Plus some new and exciting shiny things that we haven't thought of.

Ya it's unfair the options Magica builds get for weapons vs Sta weapons options.

I do not think we need another class and we have enough gear slots. A magicka based weapon line or something useful for any character would be better.

More weapon choices for healing and magicka builds.

There's a lot of wasted potential in Stamina-based weapon skill lines. They hybridized some passives, but it didn't really accomplish much. All weapon skill lines should be customizable for any resource be it magicka or stamina, or they could just scale based on which resource is higher. We could have actual clerics with a frightening mace in one hand and a gleaming shield of impenetrable defense in another, an agile martial fighter with a staff, blood mages and necromancers that draw blood with their cursed blades and funnel their magicka through it as a focus.

In addition, I have no idea why there isn't a skill line for a single 1h weapon. Why do games force player characters to occupy both hands?

There's so much useless and wasted skills in this game that if you took them all out of the game, we'd probably lose 60-80% of abilities depending on the class-role combination and it wouldn't change much in terms of gameplay.

The game doesn't need new classes, items, or other extra things. The game needs to consolidate all the current skill and combat systems and undergo a proper and sophisticated overhaul to redefine its core systems and create more meaningful choices.

Performance fix would really shake things.

Ashenkin

There are a bunch of great ideas proposed in this post, very creative and thoughtful.

A new item slot would also mean we'd have larger armory builds, requiring even more inventory space. So, no to that.

The only thing the game really needs right now is massively more inventory space(500), bankspace(2000), and furniture/housing space(1500 furniture/500 housing). After that, ZOS could look into other things. Personally I'd like many more classes, more races, and new world/weapon skill lines.

Shadowshire

New class

Personally, I would like to see a Warrior with Class Abilities which require Stamina and very few, if any, which require Magicka.

The Sorcerer class abilities are all Magicka, and many -- whether most -- of the class abilities for the Dragonknight, Templar, and Warden, respectively, require Magicka. Yes, I am aware that some Magicka abilities can be morphed to Stamina, and vice-versa.

My characters are Sorcerer, Templar, Warden, and Dragonknight. I plan to create and play a Nightblade when I can get A Round Tuit someday. I have no plans to create and play a Necromancer.

Maomer as a playable race with their own class skills.
A hybrid, one hand dps, not one hand and shield, but sword in one hand and "magic light" in the other, for example, mages fury or sun fire.
