kippert✭SPELLCRAFTING!!! I really hope that means what I think it means.
Actually I can see two things in that. Imbuing items with spells or creating new spells to put on parchments for use, or creating new spells as actual spell abilities.
Oooo, please give us a clue.
On retrospect that's 3 things...Edited by kippert on May 1, 2014 11:39AM -
LadyLothi✭✭✭Yeah for all the things to come.
Made me kinda feel bad for complaining about the downtime. I very much appreciate the gesture of giving us an additional 5 days playtime."It's easy, a child of five could do it. Unfortunately, we don't have a child of five, so I have to walk YOU through it." Abnur Tharn

shadowjudgeb16_ESOSoul ShrivenThe 5 days compensation for the all the downtime in launch month is exactly what players wanted. Thank you Zenimax.
That being said, can we PLEASE get an ASAP hotfix on vampire ultimate swarm cost being reduced to 4-20, and even 0 (literally ZERO) cost for former emperors? Tired of seeing every other player being a "batman". -
BabylonRocker✭✭✭Armor dyeing and tinting
What i'd like to see in adition would be that i can have lvl 10 armor look with vr10 stats. -
Ingwe✭I read this, and I think the changes that you guys want to implement is really awesome. As with all new things, it takes time and dedication to straighten out the wrinkles - so I am really looking forward as to what you guys can do in the next 2-3 months!
Keep up the good work - and PS thanks for helping us have a botting free dungeon every now and again!

No, this isn't an offline game, I don't want camps empty of NPCs simply because someone decided to gank them all .. this isn't the Barrens .. whether they're 'essential' or not.Also, you should be able to kill any non-essential NPC, but deal with consequences.Edited by KerinKor on May 1, 2014 11:47AM -
The fact that not only the positive, but negative feedback from reviewers and the community at large are being vocally addressed has renewed my faith in the dev team. Many devs fail to understand the importance of communication.
Great job folks

Forgot to say about adding the ability to freely switch between phases. There, problem solved.
Anyways, I'm way more concerned about Necromancy. It should have been available from start, now it's not even under development. Very very disappointed with this, although very excited with that list because all of the things are very needed and awesome.
-
Rykoth✭✭✭It's bad enough people are prancing about with their summoned daedra in cities and cluttering up the streets, don't need dead things either >.>
Also, thumbs up to this road map.
Guild functionality IMO should be *the* priority -
fbarok5eb17_ESOSoul ShrivenI think we can all be happy with the honesty from the producers... Anyway I'm looking forward the Dark Brotherhood questline.
-
Great features, sounds more than promising, but...where is the barbershop/facesculptor? Did I miss it?
-
Blackwolfe5✭✭✭Oh, I wish the bots were only in dungeons. But they are far from only in dungeons..
As for the rest of the stuff, looking awesome! -
Avath✭Looks great.
As for the things that aren't on the roadmap, remember, the life span of a game like this is measured in years, not weeks or months. The big picture demands that there is scope for story and content to grow and evolve. If you throw it all in at the beginning with little or no regard for that, not only do you end up with a mess, but you shoot yourself in the foot for future development.
Of course you could also remember that things change. Daily. And any sensible development team will reprioritise on a regular basis as well. So stop trying to second guess everything, and moaning about what is, essentially, a complete unknown.
Nice to see some feedback re: the QA process etc. As someone who's worked in QA for the past 10 years, and run many different teams I know only too well how easy it is to moan about things while having little or no idea about the work load involved, or the overwhelming number of things that never went wrong due to the team's efforts. -

Yes, they do, and have no idea how negatively it affects their gamers and potential gamers. I'm very glad to see this level of communication!! Indicates a concern for customers more than any infrequent list of improvements and bug fixes, or infrequent "status of the game" communication does. Keep doing this regularly!!
An excellent game in spite of the negatives and doom-sayers. Thanks! -
natsamson✭✭Things are looking good for the future of ESO, it has to be my most addicted and time spent game since even the Beta and early access, I look forward to seeing what's in store for the future of the game, now I need to get Veteran Rank 3 tonight
High Elf Templar Healer | Imperial Necromancer Tank | EU Megaserver | Aldemeri Dominion -
Kingslayer✭✭✭Can we at least get a rough time schedule of the migration of the eu megaserver?. Its way past launch now,
-
AttorneyatlawlCommunity AmbassadorAmazing news, honestly. I'm impressed with this entire announcement, and can't wait to see/hear more about the things listed as time moves on. Seriously, seriously cool stuff!
My favorites would include an imperial city pvp dungeon zone, the raid system, dye/armor tinting, and horse racing, off of that list, but I can't say there's a single thing on there I'm not excited about.

Exploits suck. Don't blame just the game, blame the players abusing them!

-In-game mains abound with "Nerf" in their name. As I am asked occasionally, I do not play on anything but the PC NA Megaserver at this time. -
As I read through the list of upcoming changes, I was struck by how many of them I've seen as requests by many "negative" reviewers and commenters all over the place. The fact that Zenimax is actually listening to everyone, not just the people who love the game, should be heartening to the community at large.
I think these kind of posts show that they are listening and that they are working hard to make ESO the best it can be. Is it going to be fast enough for some people? No, but I, for one, am in this in the long haul and I truly believe that this game will provide countless hour of entertainment far, far into the future.
Keep up the good work, Zenimax! And, please, please know that in the endless waves of negativity crashing upon your shore, there are many of us out there that truly love what you've created and will continue to do so far into the future! -

✭✭✭Wow that is one ambitious plan ahead. I am impressed. I already liked the game but this is exciting.
