What do you think should ESO adopt?

Greetings, adventurers. Shedelin, Scribe to Lord Arena25 here.
This one already knows they are planning to adopt the Justice System, the Champion System, among other things, but since this one and Arena25 comes from a whole background of games, this one wants to ask you what they should add.
Note: Fixing technical things (like Customer Support, lag, and bugs) are NOT something ESO should adopt. Also, if ZeniMax already announced something that will be put in (like the Justice System), it's considered as "adopted already."

A Companion Quest system (where you can ally with an NPC and send him to complete one of your quests. Good for people with tight schedules IRL. This has been recently adopted by RIFT, who stole it from SWTOR)

TheLaw✭✭✭✭Small-scale PvP is something I have been dying for since launch. Arena is always a fantastic idea (organized arena), but only when the game has been normalized/balanced further.Edited by TheLaw on November 16, 2014 7:17PM-= Shahrzad the Great |Sorc| =-1 -
arena25✭✭✭✭✭Shedelin voting on his own poll...
This one has to say Mini PvP games. Sure, Cyrodiil is vast and would-be adventurers encounter something every day, but eventually, players start to get an itch, like "Been there, done that" or "This one has done all this already...what do I do now?"
Eventually, you get that bad taste in your mouth that says "Boring".
Now imagine that you had a King of the Hill battleground in the Imperial City which could mean the difference between victory or defeat in Cyrodiil...would that entice you?If you can't handle the heat...stay out of the kitchen!1 -
arena25✭✭✭✭✭I agree with you, Evergnar, but I'm not asking about technical things...If you can't handle the heat...stay out of the kitchen!1

Selique✭✭✭✭Sailing, Underwater exploration, and Trade Runs ala ArcheAge. Without the immature player base (ESO is already good in that department), and no need for Full Open PvP, just give us a chance to craft stuff, load up a pack guar, and travel across Tamriel to sell it.
But Sailing and Underwater exploration are my main wants lol.Falls-With-Grace ~ Shadowscale (Argonian Night Blade)
Selique Lasra ~ Captain, Smuggler, Swashbuckler (Redguard Templar)
Chases-Comets ~ Shellback Warrior (Argonian Dragon Knight)
Slissix-Kir ~ Swamp Shaman (Argonian Sorcerer)
Hail Sithis..1 -
arena25✭✭✭✭✭Interesting choice my scribe had for a new poll...although he forgot to mention the other half of mentoring that was recently adopted by RIFT...and that was sidekicking, where low level players can mentor up to assist someone who needs a little more firepower...
Now, I have to go with Chronicles/Scenarios...reason is, it allows you to experience some raid content at a lesser difficulty without the need for acquiring a full 24-man raid...
My second choice is the arena...because nothing beats a good old-fashioned bloodbath...although it is good only in moderation...If you can't handle the heat...stay out of the kitchen!1 -
Kharnis✭✭✭A Foundry-type system, like what Cryptic has done for Neverwinter and STO, or what SWG did with their Storytelling system."Technology today is a race between engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof devices, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning."

guybrushtb16_ESO✭✭✭✭I like the idea behind this. There are many things to be learned from other games and while ESO certainly has tried to copy some of them, yet sadly fell slightly short more often then not... Although it's not in the list, I think the biggest boost for group content would be to scale players to the dungeon and not the dungeon to the players like gw2 does, it's just a much better system then what we have.Mini PvP is something I have been dying for since launch. Arena is always a fantastic idea (Wow-type arena), but only when the game has been normalized/balanced further.
Seconded. I loved huttball to death, and would probably still be playing swtor if they had finally made warzones f2p like they announced years ago...1 -
Kaynehusky✭✭✭For the record, City of Heroes came out with the "mentoring" before RIFT. It was called sidekicking. xD2 -
Anvos✭✭✭I would have to say mini pvp would work well from your list, and it could even be tied into cyrodil by saying that the mini pvp counts towards say control of say 3 trade/supply routes into cyrodil (ie one for ad vs dc, dc vs ep, and ep vs ad).1 -

Agreed. Modding is one of the cornerstones of the TES experience (at least, my TES experience), and I'd love the opportunity to craft my own adventures for others to enjoy (or for me to enjoy with my friends).A Foundry-type system, like what Cryptic has done for Neverwinter and STO, or what SWG did with their Storytelling system.1 -
Kreetar✭✭✭someone said underwater exploration, and I'm for that 100%.
dip me in the blood of mortals and throw me to the Dremora1 -
Morana✭✭✭Something like SWG's storyteller system where you can buy props, NPCs, special effects, all sorts of things to build player-driven content.0 -

✭✭I suggested Mini PVP in a poll the other week, so it's a no-brainer for me.People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

Passion rules reason
Wizard's third rule
Mind what people Do, not what they say, for actions betray a lie.
Wizard's fifth rule
Willfully turning aside from the truth is treason to one's self

✭✭As much I loved the Companion system in SWTOR it was only for low level and didn't allow us to play Raids with them or dungeons (last time I played at least) so this wouldn't help max level players then and I guess we need stuff besides raid content for those who are in the higher ranks.
Because of this I vote for a housing system, similar to SWG or Ultima. You can have your own vendor, you are able to craft boxes that work as an alternative to a bank in town, you can have a garden to harvest provision materials, maybe even breed horses and craft furniture.
This would give players in the lower levels but also on max a lot of content and it would add a nice RP feature as well.0 -
NefilliumSoul ShrivenSome warfronts or pvp scenarios with structured features. A pvp ladder with some rank rewards...1 -
birch44✭✭✭I believe that making craglorn quests/delves ENTIRELY group based was asinine. I personally have no problem grouping with people. Hell, 9 times outta 10 I enjoy myself. The issue is not everyone wants to be forced to group to reach max level in a timely manner. Plus to top it off there are hardly ever any groups going out right now. Everyone seems to be ganged up in capitals to do pledges.DK Tank
