What is your 2022 Wish List?

Noerra

I'm super interested in what people hope to see in 2022!

Please comment and share! I would love to read!


For me - I love ESO lore, Crafting, PvPing, and am currently falling in love with the housing system... so that's where I am coming from

(( 1/10/2022 Edit: )) After the recent Battlegrounds Update posted earlier today I have to move something to the top of my wish list... and that is Better Communication! This update comes out of nowhere and it a "putting our foot down" decision... "This is the last update for battlegrounds for the foreseeable future." .... WHAT?!?!? The last update?!?! are you serious?!!? This is all happening after Gina went on twitter to state how much she loves being the community manager and how she reached out over twitter asking how communication could be better...

Better communication would have been showing us the data and feedback they have discovered so far and then POLLING the community and have them vote on what they want! Or having an open discussion with popular and wholesome youtube content creators like DeltiaGaming that actually play the game and every type of content solo/grouped/pvp/pve/etc ... nearly every day to get the "Players' Opinion" from the players...

My heart sank at todays post from Gina... it feels like another step towards the inevitable death of pvp and they are not open to suggestions it seem like as "THIS IS THE LAST UPDATE FOR BATTLEGROUNDS FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE."

A better statement would have been "We are committed to provide a top notch pvp experience for our ESO fam, and we will collaborate with you to design another Testing phase to refine the pvp system!"

Nothing about the statement today implies that they want to continue to communicate with the pvp community and are just reverting back to the match making system we had previously that was pretty lack luster.

I think the test was fundamentally flawed because they included DM in the Random Queuing... Also, the DM queue test was done when Dark Convergence and Hrothgar were ruining pvp... I myself too a break during that time until Dark Convergence and Hrothgar were fixed... and most of my friend group did as well... Dark Convergence was so broken pvp wasn't fun... I know my social circle was not the only ones that barely logged in during that time...

Also... New World came out at a time the playerbase was so frustrated over these overtuned sets leading to a pretty large exodus from ESO to NW... NW turned out to be riddled with bugs and slowly returned back to ESO while others drifted off to find another game. Halo Infinite also launched and it is undeniable how beloved that series is...

There are so many reasons WHY BG population/popularity saw no significant change. If it more or less stayed the same that would mean if NW and Halo did not come out during a time where the pvp side of the game was in disarray because of these overtuned Dark Convergence and Hrothgar sets we probably would have saw a increase in battleground activity!

I feel like all the generation of unreliable data could have been avoided by COMMUNICATING with the community.

in Short - the decisions around battlegrounds made today were based off unreliable data because the test was flawed from the start. DM were not separated from Random leading to nearly every single BG being random. The test was initiated during a time where PVP was broken due to sets like Dark Convergence being overtuned leading to people not logging in to play. During this time of frustration with the state of ESO PVP, New World had came out followed by Halo Infinite. Furthermore, for some people, we log in less during the holiday season.

The data used to make the decision around battlegrounds today is not reliable - and the majority of the pvp playerbase is largely saddened by the decisions made today.

The best solution would have been to make 2 styles of queuing (solo/group DM, Solo/group Objective-based)

I sometimes like to do more "Utility PVP" and really enjoy objective-based pvp... I 100% would have queued for that around 50% of the time.

Sorry to make such a long EDIT to my post... but following a very positive day yesterday and waking up to this.... It feels like another nail in the coffin... it feels like ZoS has no idea what it's like to be one of their pvp players and therefore cannot put themselves in our shoes to discern what we love about pvp and what we wish could use improvement.... it feels like ZoS is not open to open communication and idea generation or collaboration with the playerbase to create a game they love to manage/develop and we love to play.

Today was not a Win-Win... it was a Lose-Lose...

F in chat for Battlegrounds.

---

1 - for ESO+ members to get a "furnishings bag" to accompany the crafting bag!

2 - New BG maps!

3 - BG queue selector that is similar to Dungeon Finder. Maybe I want to only queue for Capture the Flag... (all I get is DM... which is okay... but I do miss the other game types)

4 - Unranked and Ranked Battlegrounds with Visible MMR

5 - A seasonal "BattlePass" that would motivate me to log in everyday and make progress by doing my favorite content whether that is dungeons, trials, crafting, bgs, cyrodiil, IC, questing, etc...)

6 - A Reading Nook! - Pressing J to open up the codex isn't very immersive... and I don't want to freeze while I'm adventuring/farming to read... I would love a "Reading Station" that shows my character in a nice comfy chair next to a book shelf while I select from my book collection on what I want to read... with options on scaling the book, adjusting the text, paper color, etc... just for the ease of reading and to add immersion to when I just want to chill at my player house

7 - A free choice between a Armory or Character slot during the Holidays would be really sweet

8 - Imperial City Sewers Bosses to be more powerful than the Patrols and for Tel Var drop amount in the sewers to be increased... Sewers are pretty dead and it would be nice to give a reason for players to have some more battles down there!

9 - The PVP class balance feels SO GOOD right now!!! AWESOME JOB!!! - Magden and Magblade just need a itty bitty amount of love and caluurions needs a itty bitty nerf... plz don't be heavy handed tho! just tiny tweaks ^_^

10 - This one isn't news to anyone lol... Better Server Performance! Primetime is basically unplayable unless you want to zerg =( I know it isn't a simple thing to fix, but I am hopeful that one day we are able to find a way to upgrade/fix server lag!

11 - (this one is probably unpopular) For the 3 Banners War to end and become the 3 Banners Alliance in the upcoming storyline... And replace Cyrodiil with a new PvP zone or Gametypes (like a battle royal) - Or at least temporarily replace cyrodiil while it gets fixed up while it gets some rest on vacation xD ---- I'm of the idea that if Cyrodiil could be fixed it would have been... I don't see PvP ever being attractive to new players with how buggy cyrodiil is and would love to see a new vision for large scale pvp be rebuilt from the ground up being cautious of repeating what caused cyrodiil to become what it has...

12 - Please bring back the Antiquarian's Alpine Gallery into the store this year!!!! I had greymore and was subbed during the time... just not logging in and I hate that I missed it when it was so easy to get :'( when things like this happen in eso it's just such a huge bummer... I feel like all member's should just get the "freebies" just because they are subscribed... like... why do I have to manually click the paintings and stuff I get for being a eso plus member? my gf missed some freebies too even though she has an annual subscription.... it makes us feel like we payed for something but never received it

13 - Maybe one of my biggest ESO desires... give us a Hard Mode for story content! Sometimes I just can't stand doing the main quest because it's just soooooooo easy.... I literally only have to use one ability to beat the main story.... I want to enjoy the story more but I just find myself so unchallenged to the point I wish I could just skip to the cutscenes and ONLY the cutscenes.

So that's my list! What is your list? I am super interested in what other people love and hope for in 2022 ESO!

In terms of new systems, story, and zones... I'm really not all that excited and don't have any wish for it all other than for the new systems not to break the balance of the game or something or add more server lag... Seems like we just repeat the same formula over and over every year.... Basically I will enjoy the new zones and story then it's basically back to the same... which is why I really hope to see Quality of Life & Server Performance improvements more than anything.

Currently in ESO my GF and I decided to start a guild and have been hard at work with our 2022 goal of learning how to become profitable traders and home decorators for when we "launch" our guild later this year! My personal goal is to become a better PvPer too and get a few 1vX clips with my off-meta/meme builds I like to make :P


Anyways... again... What do you have on your '22 ESO wish list?

RedFireDisco

All I want is for cloak to work. Until then, I'm playing New World

ArchMikem

If that island in the trailer is the new chapter zone, I hope it has a beautiful player hub city with a medium sized player house. I might finally move out of Rawlkha.

AlexanderDeLarge

veteran overland phasing because I haven't yet mustered the enthusiasm needed to go through several years worth of chapters and DLCs when I'm one shotting everything in sight.

TelvanniWizard

1handed and rune/spell skill line
Nereid skin and/or companion
Account-wide achievements
More battleground maps
More housing slots for all cathegories

merpins

I don't think they'll get rid of cyro pvp when they eventually continue the storyline, because we know they will continue the story at some point. It'll probably just be a second instance of cyrodiil; one before the DLC, and one that is after. It's 100% how they could make a cyrodiil pve zone, but like... remade to be a PVE zone since it's fairly barren to facilitate pvp and to increase performance (despite performance being very lacking).
My guess would be a time skip or a dragon break or something that will allow them to jump forward 300 years to when Tiber Septim invades. It gives them an excuse to do a major Imperial focused DLC, could add a PVE version of cyrodiil (and again, not just cyrodiil as is for pve, but a new zone entirely that is also cyrodiil simultaneously), and would be a major story beat in elder scrolls lore that could, and probably would, draw a lot of people in since, you know, it's Talos. I wanna see Tiber Septim control a giant dwemer mech in-game, damn it, and this is the only way it'll happen.

Kwoung

I have one simple wish... that they fix the games serious performance and stability issues. You know, the ones that used to only affect the PVP areas, but now affect pretty much the entire game.

Sounds stupid, but not being able to just walk up to a node and just harvest it, without having to move all around, retarget it 4-5 times to get E to work... is getting really old. As is getting dumped from the game randomly, usually at the worst possible time, but even sometimes when I am just standing around chatting.

Gleitfrosch

Outfit and armor slots for companions

A good story

lQrukl

Finally fix Templar's Radiant Opression bugs that was added ~year ago and still not fixed T.T

Tommy_The_Gun

0. Performance fixes (Obviously).
1. Spears & polearms weapon skill line.
2. Hair & skin dyes (just like we have default hair & skin packs in the crown store, the ones that are available during character creation).
3. Ability to alter armour set weight.
4. Werewolf & Vanpire "cosmetic" apparel items. You know, you slot them in collections menu and your WW / Vamp form looks different. Different looking WW, different were-creatures, different vamp ulti - endless possibilities.
5. Tail apparel cosmetic items for Argonian & Khajiit. Those were data mined loooong time ago. I do not understand why something like this is still not in the game. Especially if we are talking about MMO that focuses so much on customizing the appearance. Also we have been teased with it (Blackwood Argonian Character in Trailers).
6. Overhaul of dungeons mechanics or at least mechanic's visual cues (one shots having same visual cue as non - oneshots).
7. Rebalacne, removal, or a hefty nerf or whatever you call it of the following sets: Dark Convergance & Hrothgar's Chill. Those 2 sets, despite the nerfs are still, basically game breaking. I can understand Plaguebreak, although it is still OP. But the other 2 sets are basically run by everyone. If something is BIS - it gets nerfed imminently. So why we have to wait 1 year or more ?
^ It would be best if it was only done in PvP thought. If some one is having fun doing PvE dungeons with it - I don't want to ruin the fun. But in PvP it is still a huge problem.

Anyway, those are just some things that most likely will not happen. I don't know what will be new system or things added to promote new content really. I suspect new companions (Argonian or Khajiit or both). We will probably get some OP mythics too. But really, I would be super happy if we got just new cosmetic types items. Even if it would be crown store only. I fear that we may get spell crafting (because you know... "Breton chapter"). If we will get spell crafting, then RIP balance.

Anyways... again... What do you have on your '22 ESO wish list?

For none of this to happen but new servers instead.

adriant1978

New weapon skill line(s) and/or new class. Something to shake up the build possibilities. The current choices feel very stale.

etchedpixels

Performance.

Tried PvP again last week - 3 second lags and skills firing one time in five even in noCP now. Worse than it''s ever been.

Seraphayel

Something new for combat. Combat has been so boring in the last years, it totally demotivates me to play when I just think about it.

This game is in desperate need of new skill lines, let it be weapons, guilds or world skill lines.

markkaye32b16_ESO

Id love to be able to swim underwater anywhere in Tamrial like in Skyrim, or EQ2. and with that some underwater content too.

Gleitfrosch

need to add: more thief content

Beardimus

1. If a set is disabled to denote it in-game. (Proc in noCP)
2. AP boosters penalised
3. Cheats banned
4. A 7 day Campaign (change the CP faction unlocked one no one uses)

Sheridan

My list is the same as before.

Story mode for Dungeons
Companion romance
Furnishing limit increase
New stories from crafting hirelings

Auztinito

Rework/Rebalance the combat to be more inclusive to those that don’t weave or hotbar swap. Making it more of a playstyle choice than a requirement for ALL content.Basically knee-cap the ceiling.

Rework weapons to be more conducive to all roles.

More Companions that are accessible at starting cities not just the dlc zone. Also, as romance options in the future.

Less Armor-looking motifs. Where’s the shirts, breeches, and ect without stupid hip guards? Make everything toggle-able off/on.

BazOfWar

Performance fixes - because unless they fix the performance everything else is pointless and will get worse over time.

Better communication from the Developers.

Lysette

A private instance of overland content - eventually like in Fallout 76, for 12.99 a month or 100 dollars a year - that the game can finally be what it should be - single player and play with a few friends kind of game in a private environment, where no one else interferes. There are quite a lot playing this game on their own or with their partner or bf/gf only - they don't need multi-player at all, but they would enjoy playing together in an environment, where no one else is ruining their questing and exploration experience.

One could even give these private instances a difficulty slider, because it would not effect anyone else than those in that private instance.

there's no "invisibility cloak" in NW, dude.

priestnall.andrewrwb17_ESO

Hide shoulders and combat pet skins - anything else is waaaaaaaaaaay down on the list

This. Completely agree with you.

Personaly I would love to have a new pve content which will make use of maps from previous chapters because after finishing story they are useless for most part. For example I love Morrowind, it's like home to me, I would love to do some profitable and interesting stuff out there which isn't super limited like ~3 dailies. I would love to have some sort of own buisness(skooma ofc) there, trading with other Vvardenfell cities and other lands, expanding my skooma buisness over tamriel lol.

Also I would love to see some visual updates:

1. Updated Sorc pets. Wish we could have Atronach pet instead of annoying Winged Twilight or an option to change our pets skin to some other Daedric beings.
2. Updated werewolf model
3. Updated character models
4. Updated game lighting(faces looks terrible because of it)
5. Updated vfx for class ablities, some look like trash tbh, even older mmos got better vfx.
6. Animation pack including new combat and move animations
7. Hide shoulder, hide front\back\hip flaps option

...and rework for all classes or at least new skill line for each class, new weapon type won't hurt either.

orgin_stadia

1. 60hz performance mode for the Stadia port.

2. More QoL additions in the base game to reduce the gap between PC players and Stadia players. Such as perfect weave-like functionality to help with DPS training, activating the mini map and whatever functionality popular addons add to the game.

3. Access to /encounterlog for Stadia users (Like, send them to me via email or directly to google drive)

4. Increase of transmute crystal limit

5. Join encounter in progress in all dungeons

6. Separate RND queue for slowbies and speedrunners

Abnaxos

Being new to the game on console, I'll come up with old issues that still need fixing for years now:

• controller mappings on console; really, the 3 available templates must have been made by people who don't play the game, just let us change the mappings freely (controls are a very personal thing after all)
• targeting: if my cross-hair is on an enemy, that enemy should be targeted, so I can attack it; unfortunately, this isn't always the case – this one's close to game breaking, because sometimes, the actual challenge is finding the right pixel to be able to attack the enemy
• vertical camera adjustment on consoles, my character slips out of the bottom of the screen; the vertical camera slider is present on PC, why not on console?

These three are huge turn-offs, especially the controls. And they're not hard to fix (granted, if targeting is server-authoritative, this may be much more complicated than it first seems). The veterans probably just got used to them, but they're really basic issues, a new player sees an unfinished game when he sees such things. An 8 years old MMO with such fundamental teething problems? Seriously? Even the performance issues are more acceptable than these, given the current overall situation.

Another thing, but I'm aware that this isn't going to happen, it's just too huge – especially right now, where performance clearly has priority: cross-play!

Less Armor-looking motifs. Where’s the shirts, breeches, and ect without stupid hip guards? Make everything toggle-able off/on.

+1 (shoulders!)

Xarc

I wish, not in the order:

• previous BG game types
• the ability to hide shoulders
• more people in cyrodiil with great performances

This would be really awesome, but I'd settle for more instanced quest areas. I get that overland is shared but nothing takes away from the feeling of being a hero than random yahoos wandering into my epic boss fight at the end of a story quest.

Kesstryl

1. An extra companion so I can have a companion tank, healer, and dps without having to respec one of them, AND companions have their own bag to carry their own gear.
2. Different animal skins for Warden pets.
3. Different daedra or atronach skins for sorc pets.
4. More hair styles and costumes in crown store, NOT IN STUPID CROWN CRATES!
5. Crown store service to change hair color.

Devs would make a killing off people who like to customize pets, hair, costumes, or any other thing of themselves without gambling for it.

Edit: Hide shoulders option, I hate most shoulders as they're too bulky and look ridiculous, especially on robes or bare armed outfits.

evymyu233

Ash_In_My_Sujamma

Less crown respec scrolls and more class change tokens. For our convenience, of course.
