    Sheesh. Optional name plates are a staple of most games, have absolutely no effect on people who choose to use them.

    I wish they had them in this forum so I could see "Lord Thinks-he-speaks-for-everyone" over your head.

    8. No. Just no. They want limited inventory space. Its part of controlling the economy of the game. Its part of slowing you down so you don't speed through all the content (forces you to make trips back to town.) If anything they need solutions to stop people like you from exploiting alts.

    They want the game to be micromanagey rather than fun?

    Well, fair enough, but I don't anticipate long term success.


    This.

    Maybe they had a vision of some kind with this "system" at one point....but it adds abolutely nothing to the game besides frustration,annoyance and lag (when I log in my 7 alts 4 times every playsession to get my stuff sorted.)

    Also,good list in the OP :D

    Wait. You "got" Zeni to remove them? You and your "majority"? It was a vote???

    Again...citation? I certainly could be wrong. Just where did you see what Zeni based the current lack of nameplates on beta players "voting" and not internal design reasons, technical reasons, server-load reasons???

    Lacking that citation... maybe the tag over your head should now read: "Sir delusions-of-grandeur". Maybe just "delusional" for short.

    In any case, even a moderate perusal of these forums sees an overwhelming desire for OPTIONAL nameplates to be added. Google it and you run into PETITIONS begging that they be put in.

    In other words---the only way it's going to break the "design" for you is if you look over my shoulder while I'm playing.

    And this is why this terrible excuse of a boring and bugged to hell game will be a ghost town in about 2 weeks, played only by the hardcore TES nerds and zosdrones.

    Keep ignoring the suggestions from players, ZOS, and keep listening to the zosdrones and tes nerds who want this game to be Skyrim MMO inspite of the fact that Skyrim is a single player and ESO is an MMO and there are certain features that are required to make an MMO work and which are not needed in a single player game (chat bubbles, AH, respecs, etc).

    Uh, you made the statement with nothing to back it up. Not my job to verify your unsubstantiated statements.

    That said, I did some quick googling on the subject and didn't find a word on the decision being due to beta-player's "voting".

    But then again--my search results for "ESO nameplates" were so clogged with page after page of people asking for them to be put in, I might have missed something.

    I was going to write a comment along the lines of "we? please don't presume to speak for me" .. however, in this case I won't, I agree totally. :D

    Appreciate that. I used "we" to elude to the fact that in creating the list, I reviewed a lot of threads, and tried, in my very unscientific way, to distill it down to 10 items that seemed to be universally agreed on.

    Of course there will always be that fringe element ;-)

    Normally I hate it when people presume to speak on behalf of me or the community, especially when they are just trying to get people to agree with their opinion on something.

    However in this case I wholeheartedly agree, and they are all very good points.
    My issues have been mostly around main story lines in the various zones, where one bugged quest blocks all progress in that particular zone.

    In Eastmarch I was blocked from progressing due to a mob not spawning, I had to come back in the middle of the night when nobody was there to get it.

    When I later moved on to Rift I encountered another bugged NPC, in the very first part of the zone.
    This one I'm supposed to talk to, but he could just as well be a wall or a rock for all the talking I can do with him, so again I'm blocked.

    LOL, it's called player options. The only design of the game I have seen so far is ZOS demanding we play their way.

    Good luck with them keeping a lot of us around.

    If you don't want nameplates, don't turn them on. Problem solved.

    Personal preference.

    TES has underwater swimming.

    All great MMOs have underwater swimming(at least the ones I have played)

    So if this is a TES+MMO why is there no underwater swimming??

    I don't mean WoW's grand underwater questing, just normal everyday, can put my head under the water, look for chests or secret entrances stuff.

    it but still a pain in the ass.
    When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail."

    Besides the quest and bank bug, I don't find any of those suggestions urgent. I like the UI as it is and in general a lot looks like "give us wow"...

    I don't understand people who want to turn TESO into another WOW, just let the game behind if its not your type of thing. Wow is still online, so maybe play this again.

    Also you cant fix how players play the game. If you feel that you must pay money to become a vampire, then maybe ask yourself if you still "play" the game. I would never pay another player money, those that do should maybe ask themselves if they might not take the game to serious.

    Its just a game guys, so relax and accept that some players might not play the game how you want them to.

    This is a great thread. Thank you all very much for putting so much thought and effort into sharing all this constructive suggestions and feedback with us. We can't promise we'll be able to do everything suggested, but know that we have seen and will consider them.

    Thanks @ZOS_JessicaFolsom I know it's a long list and there is no chance it will all be fixed in a hurry, but we REALLY APPRECIATE knowing you guys are listening.

    This has to be one of the dumbest arguments I have ever read. Just because a feature was in WoW and is in ESO does not mean ESO becomes WoW.

    ESO and WoW and many other MMOs have similar features, but that does not make them the same game.

    ESO and WoW both have magic... WoW CLONE!!!!!!! :blush:

    I would aggree with 1 to 7.
    I didn't have most of these issues (luckily) but of course I agree to remove those bugs.

    8,9,10 I can personally not agree with, at least not totally.

    To 8:
    I would love to have a little more options and feedback in the guild store interface. It seems to me that the only thing that is working is to search one time for a specific reareness of items. If I search for materials or anything else, nothing changes. An interface like the bank or inventory one would be a nice thing because I see no reason why a store should be a mess of all items lying on big piles on the floor while I keep my own inventory nicely sorted in various categories.

    To 9:
    I had a lot of problems with inventory management too because I felt like an urgent need to get everything I found that there wasn't ever enough space (of course). But I realized that I was hording mostly useless crap. So I dump now every item that I didn't used in a specific amount of time and this is really relieving for me.
    I have to add that I chose to just practice 3 of the crafting professions so I understand that, for a pure crafter, it is really annoying because if one will master every profession there will never be enough space regardless of the inventory management.
    Most space eating professions are provisioning and enchanting in my experience. This should be adressed in some way that you have, for example, a bag for potency and essence runes or just one for all of them. It could work like the scroll container from BG2 or sth. like that.

    To 10:
    For me: absolutely not. I love it just to know not everything. It is part of the challange in my opinion so that you really have to pay attention to your environment and not just the upper left corner of your screen. Of course you don't get that detailed information about a debuff e.g. but this doesn't make the fights impossible. This isn't a thing the game needs to change, this is just a concept, the player needs to get used to. This is hard because almost every other game punches you in the face with information about everything. I belive that after a while it will be fun for the majority of people.

    Now, one last point i do agree with: 11

    I hate this women. I hate her phrase and I want to pierce a pencil through my eyeball every time I hear that phrase.
    They have varying phrases for other npcs, why not for the bank people?
