Million Dollar Idea for Crown Store

Lykurgis · January 2015

T A R G E T D U M M I E S <--- PUT THEM IN THE CROWN STORE

Make them a stackable+consumable like potions/siege/repair kits so they can be traded. Give them like, 5 mil HP and maybe even scalable to your level when you place it in the world.

This will give end game raiders a reason to use the crown shop.

thanks!

People have been so passionate with so many great ideas on here. Sadly the company does not care!

Feels like this subject (target dummies in any form) in particular gets ignored. Even when our guild met with devs on TS and could ask this directly we were met with silence. Just as we are here.

Zos has recently revealed that target dummies are already in Tamriel- they are also known as early adopters. /kidding

Something like TD could be a helpful while still harmless addition to the crown store (as someone who is pretty anti cash shop that's a huge admission). I hope that zos hear you and help you out on this one.

Tricky thing would be that you can't really place items from your inventory into the world. They would have to be consumable in some way - or a skill - or some combination of both of these things.

That's not true, at least in an absolute sense. You can place a meat bag on the ground from your inventory into the world. It can be interacted with by other players, but has a finate life. Hello target dummy!

Could work just like Siege weapons, have limited collision so players won't "troll" other players with annoying placements. Maybe even make them tradable? Vendor price of 0 so as to not allow a cash shop to gold loophole, that would also exclude them from guild stores/open trading.

Wait, just make them BOP, (problem solved ) 0 gold vendor price. Done.

Should allow them to be stackable to save inventory space unlike Siege is currently (which it should be). If this were offered I could see every raider in every major PvE guild being told by GMs/Raid leader to vet their dps builds with screenshots for speed runs/progression, which, imo would be a good thing. At least that would give a vehicle for that Bow Templar that *claims* to do 1300 DPS on the serpent over 700 second fight to prove it can be done. Screenshots or it didn't happen lol.

I was thinking more like palanquin. Or a rickshaw. But a target dummy is cool too.

The Rusty Mantrap (trophy) can be placed in the game, but is solely a cosmetic effect.

Wouldn't be too complicated to place a training dummy that you can place and practice on.

Lykurgis · January 2015

The models for them are already tin game, you can see guards fighting them in towns.

We have Test Dummies in game. They are "we" who have played and payed since release.

And ZOS has some nice DPS when practicing on us.

I feel ya. I'm one of those people. Alpha/beta and many hours per week testing and doing trials. "We" still need a better dps testing system, and just like in many other games target dummies neatly fit that need. I see no reason why they wouldn't make a great addition to the Crown store since they are focused on that right now, it would provide players a great QOL improvement that has been asked for since alpha, and give people something to spend crowns on.

Could place them like siege equipment in Cyrodiil only not just in Cyrodiil.

kijima · January 2015

If you are a DK, everyone else in Cyrodiil IS a target dummy.

jeevin · January 2015

Still waiting for my Paul Sage mini pet that doubles as a target dummy. If not I'll settle for Matt Firor.

Varicite · January 2015

I like how most of these ideas are what we have been paying ZOS for a year to implement and were ignored, and we are just so quick now to shove even more cash in their faces.

Well, if it will get us target dummies and removal of loading screens it'll be a worthwhile purchase

Bleakraven · January 2015

I would love to get some target dummies and roleplay some training sessions for my mercenaries guild

Lykurgis · February 2015

See, people want this.

I know that several guilds are getting some time to ask questions on Teamspeak to @ZOS_JessicaFolsom‌ and provide direct feedback, so to those people, and I am looking at looking at you WKB/Entropy Rising/Purple/ect...make it a point to get an answer on if/when we can get target dummies. I would ask myself but they always lock down TS so i cant speak...

@xMovingTarget‌
@igohamnchz‌
@Atropos‌
@turd_ferguson‌

@anyone else doing ask the devs this week on vent/mumble/teamspeak/skype

AaronMB · February 2015

Target dummies are an awesome idea and something that would be a huge hit in the Crown Store.

But if implemented, I think we'd more-quickly see broken skills that aren't [usually] so easily identified to us without a few addons and doing some number crunching. ZoS would not want that.

xMovingTarget · February 2015

I would love target dummies tbh. especially now with update 6.

kewl · February 2015

Million dollar idea for the cash shop? Hmmmmm......remove the cash shop?

Jaxsun · February 2015

+1 for target dummies

If you or any of your guilds get any "face time" with devs/community managers could you please bring this up to them and let us all know what type of answer/reply they give you?

Had several trials guild leaders say they would ask at the Guild Summit, (hey Turd, whats up bro) but I got no answer. Same thing for all the one on ones my trails guilds have, no one ever asks or is met with absolute silence.

I can go to rift and see dead mammoths for miles, yet the these folks aren't asking for the staple MMO feature for every raider since forever?

The models are in the game already, the "tech" to purchase placeables that can be interacted with (take damage) is in the game already (ie: siege weapons), makes perfect sense to add this feature outright or since the "convenience store" will be opening soon, add it there.

As politely as i can, with my hat in my hand i am asking, just like others have done http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/140994/formal-request-for-target-dummies

Please add Target Dummies
