Next expansion and potentially new system

MerguezMan

Likely destinations :
- another daedric realm (Ithelia has to be somewhere, right ?)
- Falinesti (which is probably lost in a daedric realm, anyway ...)
- the upper part of Telvanni peninsula
- Skingrad
- the middle part of Skyrim
- the lower part of Alikr desert
- the Niben bay, just east of Cyrodiil
- a random island we never heard of before
- the part of Blackreach which is under Craglorn

Pelanora

The end of high isle the leaders went into a room to talk peace.

What came of that?

The war has been running thru eso for ten years and finally there were peace talks? And there is now a ten year anniversary?

Surely they have to carry on some part of that story....

Spear/Polearm weapon skill line would be nice.

I would like a new skill line, much like that of the Psijic Guild. Ever since Summerset, we haven't seen anything like that being added to the game.

For example, i'd love to have a "Thu'um" skill line. We don't have to be a Dragonborn just to learn how to use the Dovahzul.

No thanks, I'd rather not see a bunch of mer profaning Kyne's blessing to Nords.

I dont play the game at the moment.
I would come back for:
OneHand and Spell Weaponskilline.
Adjustable Overland-Difficulties (and not just useless, but with Rewards like fast aquiring of stuff. But not exclusive Rewards).
Spellcrafting
Revamp of useless Skillines
Revamp of DLC-Dungeondifficulties in comparison to normal Dungeons.

And the most important of all, the one without I wont play this game again.
-Complete Reboot of DPS-Mechanics. No more 130k Targetdummies and no more 1200% differences between the best and the worst DPS.

Regarding a new system: maybe we should just look at what kind of systems other games have. I mean - and this is not meant as a criticism or attack - but when developing new systems for ESO there is a certain tendency to come up with similar things than other games already have.

Edit: What I would find interesting would be, for example, "Professions" that allow us additional specialization to the class. If I as a Housing Fan choose for example the fictive profession "Architect", then this would give me bonuses and extras in all areas that are related to Housing E.g. better drop rate for furnishing plans and furnishing crafting materials, lower cost of heartwood and other materials for furniture making, etc.

Based on the datamined crown crates for next year/early Q1, it looks like it's pointing towards Winterhold (Mages Guild, Nordic, Winter themed crates). Definitely wouldn't be surprised if they capitalize on central/northern skyrim. I'd love to see Winterhold & Whiterun and being that spell crafting has been such a requested feature they'd be silly not to capitalize on that hype.

If we don't get Falinesti and beast taming I'm gunna be sick

I do think it's going to be Redguard focused.

So we have 3 contenders.

Cybiades, winterhold, and falinesti.

My sources.

Azandars last name and hints to his home region,
The map of winderhold region recently was changed,
And the graht squirrel pet in necrom.

All three of these things have been precursors in the past to new expansions.

Omg new idea.

Three new zones at once. One for each alliance

azandar's home region isnt cybiades he just named himself after it. his home is kozanset.

the map of winterhold wasn't changed, the video on YouTube about map changes incorrectly used the lore accurate map addon for the winterhold stuff.

the squirrel is pretty cool, we also got two new bosmeri outfit styles with Vinedusk assassin and Y'ffre's Fallen Wood.

but we'll see what it'll be in January.
maybe there's a hint or two somewhere

Oh so what your telling me is we are going to falinesttiiiiiiii

(Woodelves are one of my favorites and I've been actively disgruntled by no new bosmer content)

So good news for meeee

i also want bosmer dlc, but no im not telling you we're going to falinesti as i don't know that.
certainly is a possibility

We need Fallinesti, but I don't think we're going there next year. Wouldn't be surprised about the next though. I also don't think we'll see Hammerfell prior to ES6 comin out.

Solstheim. Most is Skaal-themed, it seems.

I do too, but unfortunately, we just got a large dose of "Druid" content in High Isle and the Galen expansion. Maybe a lush, green, druid focused Bosmer expansion AFTER whatever is next, like after a tanned, sandy, combat focused Redguard expansion.

Dimorphos

Most likely addition will be a new weapon skill line as we just got a new class. But If I could hope for something it would be a true demon warlock class. A mixture of necromancer/sorcerer/arcanist with health drains, summoning an army of monsters and using a lot of dots and cursing enemies and damaging and draining them out of resources and having some very destructive spells like raining down hellfire and blasting chaotic bolts with a long casting time but doing great damage.

hammerfell would also be fun, hammerfell isn't just sand though it also has some green.

Just hope that recent Skingrad/Solstheim hints were the thing and zos team could get them right enough to not be just "look, you remember Glarthir!?" pieces.

We can only hope. But Necrom was the perfect time to introduce that mechanic, and it didn't happen.

Hoping for Spell Crafting - I mean 10 year anniversary would be a good time
And guessing Skingrad/Solstheim as a new zone

Shagreth

Skingrad, but what I'm really looking forward is Solstheim, Ravenrock was such a nice cozy place. My guess is that those will be DLC however. No idea about the expansion. As for features, I am still hoping for Spellcrafting. Also, not exactly an expasion worthy feature, but I'm still looking forward to companion romance.

OsUfi

I watched the original video on ESO's Spellcrafting. I don't get why everyone is so eager for it.

99% of people would just find all the spells, use the most meta one possible, declaring everything else garbage, and that would be that.

The island of Solstheim is a place without cities or Dark Elves in the Second Age.
The most civilized you can find are the Skaal settlements.

Yeah, not really interested in it myself. It wasn't even much fun in the single player titles.

Right, sometimes I forget ESO takes place in a different timeline. Damn it.

How can you say that people will find the most meta one possible in the same post declaring that you have watched the original video?

Are you aware that you contradicted yourself? If you watched the video, you would be aware that…

Nick Konkle went into great detail about the gives and takes of the system and given the current class system we have with each class having different need areas, some spells would be better than others for different areas, not Best-In-Slot, but better or worse for different forms of content.

Created spells would be akin to 5th pieces of sets that would fill up your ability bar, and if there’s a clear cut best-in-slot set to fit everyone, why are there countless builds that work great?

I mean look at Zen’s, Elemental Catalyst, Martial Knowledge, Alkosh and War Machine… and that’s just damage dealer support sets, not to mention full damage sets like Pillar of Nirn, Aegis Caller, Whorl of the Depths, Coral Riptide, Sul-Xan’s, Relequen, Ansuul’s, Order’s Wrath… and the list goes on.

If the game finds use for so many different sets, based on the vastly different content, with there being only slight advantages based on that. Why would having a Flame Atronach pet that hits as hard as a Scamp but does fire damage, result in any problems whatsoever?

Here’s the thing, Spellcrafting won’t create problems, it will create solutions.

You play a Sorc and have always wanted a burst heal? Throw on a Restoration spell. You play a Necro and want mobility? Make a spell for that too. You play a Templar and just want to roleplay with a few Conjuration spells? Feel free.

Skingrad and buffs to most older sets.

Sounds the most likely

The most disappointing too.

Players have been asking for Spellcrafting since the feature was announced in 2014.

Oh I agree! Preaching to the choir on that one. I'll just be very surprised if it's anything super ambitious.

But, this is the time where they need to be ambitious. If a 10 year Anniversary isn't enough to get the dev team fired up with ideas...then I dunno when is.

Because I've played ESO and met MMO players.
