Yes, and BOTH should be bloody rare ! (I'm talking Imperial Motif drop rate rare)

They do need something special for us, but it shouldn't be overpowered, or it becomes boring.
Where is the challenge if having a superweapon means you can one shot most opponents, and they can only get you by massing on you?? Because once it happens people will just quit.

What they need to do is add unique weapons/armour of purple quality, maybe a little better than what you can craft. They should look different to what we get from the motifs, and have a nice effect.

A bit like the prismatic weapon, only better.

Never gotten anything good or worthwhile from a dungeon before, gee I wonder why? If itemization continues to be a complete joke you'll be seeing more and more players leaving the game or new content just become a waste of time. Why bother adding new difficult challenges like Dragonstar arena when the rewards are absolutely pitiful compare to crafted gear.

If people found out about the rewards in the new trials and Dragonstar Arena nobody would attempt them at all because the effort taken to complete them is not even worth it. Crafting have made all endgame content redundant and pointless to do multiple time. The new alter-ability weapons are not even worth getting for the amount of effort it takes, no bonuses and sub par stats with a neat little enchantment..

And there are several new sets that don't even look great nor have special visual effects that make your character stand out.

No.

I say they add Daedric artifacts to the game like in previous Elder Scrolls games, but here is the catch. Only 1 of each artifact can exist in the game world at a time, and players can only hold onto them for 24 hours before they are taken away from them and awarded to another champion. The requirements to obtain the artifacts could be presented in challenges provided by the daedric princes (be it in pvp or pve).

That's a cool idea. They could add artifacts that don't expire with time, but expire if they aren't used, also. Like in order to keep your Mace of Molag Bal, you have vanquish a certain amount of players in PVP per day. Or whatever...

I don't know if they have mentioned any actual plans to add jewelry crafting into the game or not so... what if they, essentially, take your idea BUT have it be jewelry? That way, crafters aren't getting shafted AND people still get their drops. Granted, a lot of people go for those specific set bonuses, such as the warlock stuff or syrbane's grip (whatever it's called), but maybe, perhaps, make super versions of those? Maybe even have two enchants on them. Like... for magicka users, have reduced cost as well magicka regen. Or for tanks, the reduced bash cost whatnot and the blocking one.

I would just like to see more unique looking armor and weapons.

Have a weapon or armor plan that is extremely rare drop that has to be crafted at a certain place like in a dungeon and when you craft it the plan is destroyed to keep the gear rare.

Yeah. Anything to make doing dungeons more than once worthwhile.

No way man... Quest items only! Never allow players to farm for stuff like this or even create it. I assume you're talking about godly weapons or artifacts of power. Only the truly divine can create such items and only acquire after a long and arduous quest - like really long. Altho Zen mite be hesitant to do this bcoz of all the people that mite complain about the length of this quest, they should remind them that it is not a game requirement and totally optional (consider it a challenge quest). Quest should be VR and trans-alliance, requiring trasitioning between alliance territorries (countries? provinces?) Items should be rare and bindable so that they cannot be traded ultimately ruining and collapsing the crafting professions if not the overall economy.

In response to earlier comments about overpowered or overuse of these items I would say only allow players to equip them. For a 1 hour period max in a 24 hr period or every couple of days. Don't make the item disappear that's not right.

I am a no, but....

I think I get what ZOS want with gear, they want us to have to choose what to focus on and by doing so keep giving us options to try.

If uber gear starts to drop then we would all seek or seek to buy the uber items. Thos who didn't get RNG or couldn't complete the special quest would lose out in PvP and general good feelings. Seeking out that perfect synergy between 2 or 3 dropped and crafted sets would become irrelevant when coming across Emperor Proud and his mighty sword of allslaying +99.

With gear as it is the triallers and PvPers get unique powerful gear which they can upgrade to gold if they wish (for a contribution to the economy). PvEers & monster grinders get a different set of dropped gear... crafters make a third selection. To get the best set up for a build you might well need something from each pool.

That keeps the game fun for all, encourages the meta game and, most important, ensures that everyone in PvP has access to roughly level gear regardless of what they prefer to do.

I get the fun of uber gear, I loved the items you'd get from daedric princes in the ofgline games - but in a game where players compete they need to compete on as level a playing field as is reasonable.

I want to see special Rare named mobs that can spawn in the world at random locations and on random timers. These have a chance to drop special gear and items that only come from these. The items are BoP.

These special Rare names are not locked to zone but by mob type. This makes them harder to farm.

Example of names:
Outlaw Kermit: This is an outlaw who is wanted by all 3 alliances. There is only one Outlaw Kermit up at a time and once killed it takes 1-4 hours for it to respawn anywhere with outlaws, bandits, and slavers in any zone including Cyrodiil. Thus it can spawn anywhere at any level but only 1.

Krusty the Crab: This is an mudcrab who survived a magical explosion and is now 3 times the size of normal crabs. This has a 1-4 hour respawn timer and can spawn in any location with normal mudcrabs. Only 1 up at a time and respawn timer begins when that dies.

=============================================
Example of items:
Epic Stitching: This allows a crafter to redesign a piece of light or medium armor. Racial Style and Trait can be changed via a special clothing Table.

Epic Bark: This allows a crafter to redesign an weapon made out of wood. Racial Style and Trait can be changed via a special woodcrafting Table.

Epic Liquid Metal: This allows a crafter to redesign a piece of heavy armor or metal weapon. Racial Style and Trait can be changed via a special blacksmithing Table.

Legendary Stitching: This increases the level of the item to the current character level. IE: Take a level 4 Robe up to VR14.

Etc for the others
======================


Example of gear:
Sword of Ending: Has normal crafted stats, but has a 1pc set bonus of 24 weapon damage.

Robe of Armor: Has normal crafted stats, but has a 1pc set bonus of 400 Armor.

These are standalone pieces of gear that make wearing it useful even without being part of a larger set. The 1pc set bonus is similar to a 2 and 3 pc set bonus combined.

It's nice to feel this little thrill that you can be always surprised by random world drop and it won't hurt anyone if it'll be truly rare.
