    do you think it would be detrimental to the game?

    I think it would be an unnecessary use of funds that could better be allocated elsewhere. Especially if they have to update it with each version of iOS, Android, or Windows Phone. A widget like this that would hardly make any money is the least of my worries. Why not work on the actual game?

    I understand this perspective, especially when it was subscription. Now, this would have players be more "hooked" which would equal more time in game which would translate to more crown store purchases.

    At this point in the game's life, I agree with you @Gidorick . many people across my guilds have stated that with no new content now, they don't see a crown allotment and other ESO plus benefits as worth a subscription.

    Had TESO rolled out with an app that can be accessed as part of the benefit of continuing a subscription, I believe many of those people would feel the optional sub worth it.

    Psshhhh... If ESO:TU subs offered a robust mobile app as functional and cool as.... Destiny's, I'd stay subbed without a second thought!

    Really don't want developer time and resources wasted on this tripe. I'd far rather see what's in my signature worked on.
    I am not spending a single penny on the game until changes are made to the game that I want to see.
    1) Remove having to be in a guild to sell items to other players at a kiosk.
    2) Cosmetic modding for armor and clothing.
    3) Difficulty slider.
    4) Fully customizable player housing that isn't tied to anything in the game other than having the correct resources and enough gold to build. Don't tie it to PvP, guild membership, or anything at all. Oh, make it instanced so as not to take up world map space, too. Zeni screwed this one up already.
    Any /one/ of these things implemented would get me spending again, maybe even subbing.

    I think they would benefit far greater from a Mobile app than removing guild requirements for selling, a difficulty slider and Cosmetic Modding for Armor (what does that even mean?)

    Horse feed. I believe this game would have a lot brighter future if they didnt force people to log in every day. Thats just cruel if when you have played the game 1+ year.

    We included riding lessons in the Town Function section. I think they should have it to where if we are in a town when we log out we have some functions available to us that we would otherwise not. The ability to log out of my game and manage my bank inventory, sell some stuff in the Guild Store, set up my crafting research, take my riding lessons, and do some crafting while I'm on the go would mean that when I get back in the game I was ready to go adventuring.

    Now, how would they prevent the towns from becoming ghost towns? Well, in my Remove Zone Chat and do the following post I suggest:

    Bars and Inns
    Players could congregate in bars and Inns to communicate with one another socially. While players are in the bar they should accumulate XP Buffs with max buff being 10% for 2 hours of “inn-time”, which would be an extra 1% of XP for every 12 minutes that pass with player input (no AFK play here folks).

    They could also limit mobile crafting. Perhaps we are allowed to research, dismantle, and upgrade items but the actual crafting of NEW gear could still require a visit to the Crafting Stations.

    I added some items and have added Second Screen indicators. These are functions that a player could use while IN GAME on their mobile device.

    i havent read through all of this, but for sure, SECOND SCREEN STUFF can have detrimental effect to lags...

    it happened to the battlefield series, it happened to LOTRO... and that's just on a web page. and u want this on apps?

    scary thoughts.

    because it effectively adds another client connection to the server - especially true considering some of the feature you requested (such as skill bar swapping).


    so far im happy with ESO Essential app for Android. the only thing that app is missing is the ability to update the data of my in-game character. NOT as a "second screen" functionality, but a one-time export.

    And ZOS can have these export request consolidated on a fully separate server that updates one a day or whatever, that all apps can abuse without touching the real megaservers...

    Honestly @Davadin, I don't concern myself with what would or wouldn't cause lag. My perspective is "we want this. Figure it out."

    I'm pretty sure consoles have second screen capabilities that don't necessarily have to hit the servers. It's done locally. Client side. PC would need to have a PC client. I could see that being built into the launcher. A small external program to communicate with your phone over wifi.
