What new benefit should be added with ESO+

udaba

What do you believe would be some interesting addition on bonuses with ESO+ ?

hashii

As a player who has been playing for around 5 years, the current benefits are decent, but sometimes it feels like I'm primarily paying for inventory management convenience only.

It's nice that ZOS gives access Zone/Dungeon DLC with the subscription, but I already have them all unlocked. It's only good for new players. The 2x housing slots are also nice, but I don't house all the time. Sometimes I just play the DLC Chapter storylines. Or sometimes I just come online to chat with friends and do other stuff. So if I want to house, I could just get the subscription then. So when I am calculating what I'm getting, for what I pay every few months/yearly, I find myself coming up short on reasons why I am paying for the subscription - other than mainly getting inventory management convenience with the craftbag.

Some ideas come to mind for incentivizing subscription:

• Reduced cost for endeavor seal purchases, just like the crown discounts
• Increasing crowns obtained from subscription.
• Every quarter, when new crates are released, if you have the subscription, you get X number of new crown crates for free. Just to make the subscription feel more premium.
• A Goodie-Bag of decent/fun loot at the start of each month - on the first of each month perhaps. This is to incentivize recurring subscription adoption. The goodie-bag can contain loot like character slots, name change/appearance coupons, a crate or two. And to even make it even more special, during key-holiday events like anniversary, thanksgiving, or christmas/new year, they get a special costume or animated mount. Perhaps the existing ESO+ statuettes/paintings can be combined with this goodie-bag.

Funny enough back before 2018 subs would get 1 crown crate for each day of the ESO+ trial whenever they killed any monster. I believe that ended when clockwork city released and has been the main reason I have not continued my sub consistently over the years.

Hey All, thanks for the suggestions here. We're always happy to send over new ESO+ suggestions to the team for their consideration. So if you have more, please note them here. We'll be keeping an eye out.

Double seals of endeavor for eso+ subscribers on daily and weekly tasks (or some other multiplier)

Vynera

• +1 daily and weekly endeavor so eso+ subs can do 2/3 weekly and 4/5 daily endeavor.
• An unlimited stash for crafted furnishing items
• Double the daily login bonus, except for "special" rewards like the cosmetics, 100k gold/alliance points etc.

Theodorus

Turn 'notable' homes into usable wayshrines.

RiverBrian

How about being able to hold unlimited transmute stones. Why there's a cap to begin with is just dumb

Some things that could even entice non subscribers

1. Instead of the monthly eso+ statuette, give a members only furnishing. Can be Bound so only eso+ subscribers have them. Can be any color level (would be even better if you get a better one for continuous membership - ex green for first year, blue for 2 years, purple for 3-4 years and gold for 5+ years). Make it unique like the jubilee Cakes.

2. Limitless Housing bag to hold all furnishings/plans/recipes. Similar to Craft bag.

3. Either separate bonus daily log on or double log on every 7th day or something extra as an ESO+ subscriber.

I feel it’s still a good value but it doesn’t make feel any different than a non subscriber. Just have a craft bag that they don’t.

Thanks for listening.

DonHardstyle

I woudnt mind getting some discount on upgrading items, Some timers less time ( crafting,mount upgrade for example). And maybe add some clown crates when you sub (but keep the clowns we get now). Tokens to unlock a daily reward that you missed out on cous of not being able to login due to whatever reason. But most important, I realy would like to see better cummunication when stuff goes wrong with the server.

You're not wrong, but there is a pretty easy workaround. Just roll up a couple of alts and use them as mules. 200 bag slots each. When you run a random dungeon use the mule to open the mail and store the unopened transmute there until needed. 200x10x2 = 4K transmutes in addition to the 1K in your regular inventory.

ProudMary

There should be annual loyalty benefits, like special mounts or some form of recognition for long term subbing. If a person has subbed more than 5 years there should be something really cool given for the loyalty.

FantasticFreddie

Top feature that comes to mind is bottomless housing storage.

There is even an easier way: reconstruct a monster helm of monster shoulder of which you have all pieces collected so it costs 25 transmute crystals (and make it blue so it doesn't cost upgrade material). Store those pieces in chests or on alts. When you need the crystals, just deconstruct it. Deconstructing reconstructed items always returns 25 transmute crystals. (Just don't use Mythic for this as you can't deconstruct those). One such item holds 25 crystals which is more than the geode.

We can already port TO homes, with inside/outside choices.
But it would be great to have a way to just use a wayshrine FROM a home. Even if that means having a special furnishing to do it.

Heck, I have the AvA furnishing "disconnected transitus shrine" which I wish was actually usable.

Seasonal like eso+ quest that last for a month and then renew each month with new quest/challenges.

If you complete these challenges within the time frame you are rewarded with a "Eso+ goodiebag" that contains ...? Something that makes it worth for players to do them, dont necessarily have to give away pure crowns, I can think of at least a hundred items in this game who would make alot of players do these challenges.

Would be a fun thing to look forward every month.

As mentioned several times already a furniture version of the craft bag, my hoarding personality would LOVE this please!

Lugaldu

It would be nice to get a certain number of random style pages every month, like in the birthday event rewards.

gabbo1928

Eliminate the gold cost for jumping to a wayshrine from your map, or at least eliminate the penalty cost countdown for back-to-back jumps.

Extend the storage capacity increase to include housing storage coffers (doubled per coffer) and player inventory (probably not doubled, but maybe 25-50% more?).

Exclusive cosmetics for longer subscription lengths. 3 months gets a character cosmetic. 6 months also gets a non-combat pet, 1 year also gets a mount. Something like that. It would offer more value (beyond cost savings) for subscribing for a longer duration.

I also support the above recommendations for a furnishing bag, and discounted prices in the Seals of Grinding store.

karthrag_inak

- Hold all surveys and treasure maps (as stacks!) in craft bag
- Furniture storage system ala craft bag
- More houseguests able to be placed in home.
- LARGER QUEST BOOK. Allow us to hold more quests.

Tyrant_Tim

Housing capacity needs to not be dependent on ESO+, as it discourages furniture pack purchases when your ESO+ is down. I have skipped out on countless packs since I dropped my subscription after the block bug because I can’t put them in my Notable!

That “feature” is literally leaving money on the table.

A much more beneficial ESO+ feature for Housing would be a Furniture Bag, as with each update, new Furnishings are coming out that are all adding up.

MrGarlic

How about a cheaper, say $5 USD per month ESO+, that only includes the infinite craft bag.

# of Guilds

I don't know if this was already suggested or not, but 7 guild memberships instead of 5 might be something of real interest. The reason for this suggestion would be two-fold:

(a) my friends and I have noticed a growing number of veteran players over the last few years wanting to join more active guilds, but being reluctant to leave largely inactive guilds based on old relationships they hope will come back to the game, and not wanting to risk losing touch with those relationships and memories should winds change favorably again; the more it becomes clear old friends are not returning, the less likely those players are to stick around unless they develop new relationships and new memories in new guilds.

(b) similarly, a growing group of veteran players have expanded their gameplay to a variety of interests that may not be satisfied by only 5 guilds (and as options have grown over time too), as specific guild types now focus on the following interests/activities:
- trading (depending on focus, 2+ trading guilds are often preferred)
- pvp (depending on focus, 2+ pvp guilds are often preferred)
- trials (depending on focus, 2+ trials guilds are often preferred)
- general dungeons and trials
- housing
- role-playing
- crafting
- extra bank (typically a legacy bank from more difficult inventory management days)
- perhaps less likely, but also listed in the guild finder: questing, fishing, justice, antiquities
- tribute

With the various seasons of exodus for veteran players over time (magnified at U35), it seems a good number of veteran trial and pvp guilds were at one time or another largely abandoned. [Side note even my primary trading guild (typically at 1000 members since shortly after launch and always with one of the best trading locations) saw player reductions at U35.]

My best to the ESO team!

Craft Bag - "The Arch Mage's Boon"

I also posted this ESO+ perk some time ago, specific to the Arch-Mage achievement. I noticed someone above mentioned this type of suggestion as well:

Siege bag for siege weapons

karthrag_inak

Oh, here's something that this one has wanted for a long time that would make a delightful upgrade to ESO+.

Give Khajiit (alright, and all others with ESO+) the ability to change the race/appearance of their companions, for his view alone. Keep the genders, that is fine, but allow this one to give all his bald bottom friends instant Khajiit upgrade. Nothing else has to change - to all others the appearance of this one's companion can remain unchanged.

But allow Khajiit to see his friends as how they really should be, as Khajiit, with delightful majestic tails and whiskers and personalities.

+10% mounted speed and +10 mounted stamina. Does not go over the max mount training effect. So if you're starting a new character they have a slight boost worth of 20 days of mount training. It stacks with mount training, but does not exceed the maximum value of 60 units of training.

XrisXross

How about putting soulgems into crafting bag? They are so annoying and you need it on each char so it would be very helpfull to get.

Jaimeh

A furnishing bag would be amazing, though probably not likely to happen.

thecatsme0w

The ability to skip the queue when there are log in queues.

mateosalvaje

I would like a way to play for ESOplus in game. Perhaps being able to purchase individual days or a week of ESO Plus with seals of endeavor? It will have to have a drawback of course. So, how about a cap on how many days per month? Only 21 days?
