Things I’d like to see in 2023

Eiregirl

All very nice suggestions so I will just add...
Either automatically stack all stackable items as they are placed in the guild bank or allow those with guild permission to stack items without having to remove them just like we can do with our personal banks and bags.

Leaderboards for longtime players

Most fish fished
Most Daedra killed
Most writs completed etc
Blade of Woe used
DB contracts completed
Etc

Rewards longterm players for their accomplishments. It’s a grindy aspect but it this is an MMO and some people love to grind

I'd like more cosmetics that apply to abilities like the 1 we got with the warden bear even if they have no effects other than cosmetics.

More bear skins would be nice, earnable in game not via Crowns.

Oh, my last post about a custom group finder reminded me of another one I’ve wanted for a long time.

Custom statuses.
Somewhere we could put a short status (maybe 140-250 characters?) that others on our friends list and in our guilds could see when they hovered over our names in either of those UIs.
Something like, “I’m free if anyone needs help with anything.” or “I’m bored. Let’s do something.” Or “Need a REAL tank for this dungeon. Fake tank bailed.”

Custom statuses and a custom group finder would go a long way towards QoL changes for the game, in my opinion.
I really think they’d be wonderful.

Related to this would be able to post a request to ALL our guild channels at once. That would help with these. I hate needing to post things 5 times and then post a "got help" post 5 times.

Please no! Why does everything always need to end with comparing the achievements of others with own ones or vice versa. If you only do activities to end up on a leaderboard allowing you to brag about your 1337ness, you're playing the game for the wrong reasons IMO.

Respectfully disagree. MMOs are all about leaderboards and achievements. It’s fun to be able to compete and accomplish things to show off. If you don’t want to participate, don’t.

Don't have one tiny competitive bone in my body, but it's a fact that this genre (and other online genres) is based on competition. I don't compete at all; I don't feel I'm missing anything.

Go my own way, do my own thing, Works for me.

Things I would like to see in 2023 :


My feet

HerrKeinTipp_MrNoTip

I'd love some kinda 'mob' dummy so that I could test bombing or anything other than a boss fight.

endgamesmug

An option to turn off quest givers/yellers, maybe you wanna go about your business without being hassled?😆

dan958

I would love to see actual guild halls, with the ability to have guild vs guild battles (with some of the maps/battlefields taking place in one of the guilds guild hall, unfurnished of course).

I loved this feature in Guild Wars 1.

Bealeb319

Useful companion items with actual stats on them and not just a minimal amount of healing or damage.

A filter for traders so you can find furniture and motifs that you don't already know.

ChuckyPayne

Too late. Change topic from 2023 to 2024, all content has done or almost has done for 2023.

But some idea here too:
- Fishing skill line
- Fishing rod skins
- New craftable fishing baits: (from all default baits). You can fish everywhere with one bait + better chance with that bait.
- Make more sense to fish, better loot, daily quests
- Hunting skill line
- Skinning
- Better jumping system. I would like jump over fence, etc.
- Climb rocks.
- Underwater system, in ESO style.
- Wayshrine in house
- Horse riding mini game (during seasonal events)
- Seasonal event funny pvp modes (snowball fight etc) and funny event pve dungeons.
- Spellcrafting :'( QuakeCon 2014
- LFG for normal trials

@ZOS_Kevin just throwing some ideas out there for the future as I now 2023 has already been developed and decided and at this point is finishing up and cleaning up last bits of work at this point most likely, if you could pass along it would mean a lot, thanks in advance.
-undo U35
-more mount species (not the reskins)
-magika morphs for weapons
-new weapons (crossbow, one hand spear, two handed pole arms such as pike, halberd etc.)
-class quest lines
-class outfit styles
- pick and extra class skill line out of a select number of extra skill lines for class specialization
- new were-species (were bear, werecroc, were lion, etc)
- new races such as maomer, etc.
- make races "cosmetic" and player choose their 4 racial passives
- more body-morphism diversity at character creation menu (high elves are the tallest, orcs most muscular, wood elves most short, no pregnancy options for female characters, why? why can't I have a high-elf as short as a wood elf, or a high-elf as chubby as the maxed out fat version of an orc? its an mmoRPG, let me role-play"
- solsthiem, whiterun, downstair, colovian highlands, spiralskien, skingard, roscea (longshot....AKAVIR!)
- more atmoran/akaviri lore
- npc romances
- battle-royals pvp mode (50 players in the same zone, last man standing wins top prize)
- normal trial finder
- new classes (longshot, I know)
- outfit style reminiscent of General Tulles from TES5
- PHONEAPP FOR TALES OF TRIBUTE linked to our eso account
I could go on forever, I'll edit this reply if I think of more, this was just all off the top of my head

No, that's what they've become. Devs have groomed players and players lapped it up, and devs proceeded to interpret as something people want.

Farming for items or crop farming?

boi_anachronism_

• Optional harder overland (or separate server maybe?)

• Separate eyes cosmetics from head markings

• Hide shoulders/hip armor

• more in-game earnable mounts (come on y'all eso has some of the least of any mmo I can recall)

• mark survey locations on map after they have been completed once

• Improve drop rates for furnishing plans

Bignupie1911

An NPC crafting assistant to do daily crafting writs and Surveys- These are chores not content

Hide Tabards - Why have all these motifs if i cannot wear a guild tabard and hide it like costumes?

A New Class and/or a new Weapon skill line- Its past time and your balancing should be done

More Crown store items available in the actual game - Not endeavors that take forever to get enough

Skins for combat pets- Cause why not?

Update Cyrodiil and IC possibly end alliance war and adopt a new format - You have been hinting at a end to the three banners war for the couple past updates....

Lower crown prices - Price them like currency in fallout 76

More explorer type events with double xp , etc- Cause it breathes life into game

True colors. Black that is black. White they is white. Blue that is blue. Not some shade of the color. Colors shouldn’t be locked behind specific content.

i would like to see:

- 2 team battlegrounds, likely a 3v3 more fast paced version of battlegrounds.
it is worth noting that if this were the main way to play, we would see queue times cut in half since each round requires half the players, which would snowball the effect since more people would likely play. this would also perfectly balance the game modes to actually work since 3 teams is the reason certain modes fail to work properly; chaos ball, for example, results in bottlenecking.

- better cyrodiil structure.
currently, i can't play in grey host because it is way too laggy, with long queue times wherein i will likely lose connection and need to requeue. i don't even have bad internet. so i play in blackreach but unfortunately i am daggerfall covenant and so...yeah we have less than half the players of the other 2 alliances.... besides all that, why is the leading alliance rewarded with snowballing buff effects when it makes logical sense to do the exact opposite? and what's with the sheer amount of traveling? and the fact that you basically JUST flip resources back and forth with no really interesting and fun map structure? i would like to see a lot of cyro issues addressed.

- far less obviously intentional build architype murder....
just stop killing builds.... my off meta hybrid heavy attack builds were FUN, and they weren't even overpowered. they got gutted repeatedly. now any attempt to create a viable heavy attack build is met with harsh reality.... just as an example. RUINING PLAYER'S BUILDS TO FORCE META SHIFT IS TAXING THE PLAYERBASE! that needs to stop....

* Put the vampire abilities back to the way they were, before someone had a "great" idea.

* Outlaw hideouts scattered throughout the areas.

* Snow Elves race

SammyKhajit

• New songs in taverns, including in the “old” areas.
• Companions who are sworn to carry your burdens (or at least, carry their own damn companion gears!)
• Responsiveness from developers (kudos to Kevin for being so communicative and helpful, but then the developers got to do their part as well!)
• New quests added to events such as Witches Event and New Life.
• No more NPCs or rando wheel barrows parked in front of crafting stations and delivery areas.
• Please give us a guar mount.
• Quests and storyline’s dedicated to vampire/werewolf players. It feels odd that when you do a werewolf or vampire quest, it’s very rare that a comment is raised about your, ahem, unique abilities nor special side quests because you are a lupine/blood sucking type.
• Increase event ticket cap from 12 to 20.

Cast_El

-change jab back
-adjust battle spirit for healing and shield
-new skill line
-new class

My favs from those already posted:

Story Mode for dungeons and trials.

A way to turn treasures into furnishing pieces.

Collect contents of stacked surveys at the same time.

An event that increases the chances for leads.

Dark Brotherhood themed companion.

The ability to easily take just one item out of the bank if it's stacked with others.

Finish up old promised projects and bug fixes.

I think Leaderboards for those who love to complete would be awesome! (I personally don't care about competing in this game) But! I would love to see for example, JoeMoWhoever had just killed his 40 millionth Daedra. haha. Or similar stuff.

An option to turn off quest givers and yellers! (Oh Stuga, I'd miss you so.)

And yes! New skill line: for fishing, and hunting, but mostly to climb. Now THAT would make for a great competition!

Mark survey locations after completion once.

A Snow Elves race.

And How about a new crafting writ turnin location that was perhaps waaay out of the way, or somehow unique but one that did NOT permit any combat or non combat critters. (Fair's fair) I mean, maybe they could just fade away when entering this area, orsomething. Just so there aren't anymore freakin' flipping, flapping, flopping, blocking critters in my face when crafting.

And last but not least...Bring back the beautiful sound of dual weapons with that soo rewarding blur of Flurry. I think they changed that one in Update 34? or maybe 35.

Essentially most things we’ve been asking on the forums, for years

I agree with one hand and rune skill like there needs to be melee magic builds. Spellswords are a staple in Elder Scrolls.

Skins for warden and sorc pets - I also agree on idk about everyone else but I want a Flame Atronach, Storm Atronach or an Ogrim. Maybe not even a skin maybe an updated skill line for Sorcs and Wardens.

Or better yet maybe add a 3rd morph to every class skill that would definitely take time and effort but this is sort of a wishlist.
