My Update 7 Wishlist

Neizir · December 2014

So we already know what we'll be seeing in Update 6 - A LOT of gameplay revamps and changes, including the Champion and Justice Systems, a revamp of Provisioning, improvements to fishing, better animal/creature hunting (part of the Provisioning revamp), and tons and tons of ability and class changes. So, here's what I hope will come in March:

Phase 4 of the Champion System, which will remove Veteran Ranks altogether and place the cap at level 50. This needs to be a top priority at ZOS.
Imperial City. Please show PvPers some love, we haven't had anything since launch!
Spellcrafting. I can't wait for this feature! It probably might find its way into Update 8, though. It's a huge element of gameplay that will require alot of testing.
Post-Creation Character Customization. What if we want to change the way we look mid-game? The MMO WildStar will have this exact feature coming in their 4th update, and Skyrim has a face sculptor as well. Most of ESO's major systems will be just about finished by then, so why not allocate some resources to a barber shop or face sculptor? Surely it can't require that much resources. Lots of players do want to change the way they look.
More Mounts! We have Guar and Senche-Tiger mounts, but why not even more awesome mounts such as a Wamasu or a Mammoth?
More Music! Now don't get me wrong, lots of tracks from ESO are awesome, but after a while some of it does get a little...bland. Zones need more music, and we are in DESPERATE need of some good combat music. Music is a HUGE factor in combat epicness. A track like Weapons Drawn is PERFECT music for a siege. There also seem to be tons of unreleased tracks, like the really darn good track that plays in the opening cutscene. Just having some good combat music would increase the epicness factor tenfold. Skyrim's combat music should be an example of what ESO should have.
Increased View Distance. ZOS promised us this in an interview many months ago, so it shouldn't be far away. ESO's view distance is really lacking and limits what you can see.
Quality of Life Improvements to Exploration - Why on earth do we slide off of people's rooftops? And why are there invisible walls when we climb near the top of a mountain? Removing these silly barriers, which shouldn't even be there in the first place, would be some nice quality-of-life improvements.
Addressing of server lag in PvP - ZOS should be discouraging zergs as much as possible - and upgrade their servers while they're at it.

So, that's what I hope we'll see in Update 7! This will likely be the last update before consoles, so this update is definitely going to be a big one. But before you release the console versions, ZOS, make sure they're polished and don't make the same mistake you did at launch!

And post-creation character customization, aka barbershop.

Gidorick · December 2014

First Person Horse Riding!

I never thought about the rooftop sliding being something that should be changed but with the justice system and thieves guild... you're right! We should be able to run on rooftops. It could even be a passive skill.

Kraven · December 2014

More weapon options. The exact same weapons is getting old, some H2H, X-bow, etc
Pet trees. Actual pets, Sorc summons are crap and useless.
Imp city looks to have a lot of fun content for PvP.
With the addition of more PvP I'd love to see some actual Balance. Although I know balance is a pipe dream.

Enodoc · December 2014

Nice list

those are all things that I would like to see soon as well. Brad Derrick has said there may be some new music with Imperial City, so that's good news on that front. Maybe they should rework the existing tracks so some of them play in more/different places/situations as well.
In a previous version of this list, you suggested that Justice PvP may be coming in 7 as well. Do you still think that's the case?

Um, why should the removal of veteran ranks be a top priority? Some of us would prefer that they remain. There is no harm in keeping them but there is a lot of disruption that comes from removing them such as handling the extra attribute and skill points, not to mention all of the gear and crafting which would need to be recalibrated. None of that is necessary as the current VR system is fine and it allows for the level cap to be raised easily down the road. I hope ZOS does not eliminate the VR system as the time spent on that is needed elsewhere.

I do agree that the Imperial City and the PVP crowd do need some attention and content. Last week's reduction in the pop caps certainly helped reduce the lag problems. They still exist; but they are not as severe as before. Hopefully more work is coming in that area.

Vlakna · December 2014

Agree with more weapon options. Spears, Xbows. Also agree with some changes to magic. I can go full pyromancer with a DK. And full lightning with Sorcerer but I cant go full Ice mage unless with the staff and only covers some abilities. The Dark Magic user seems like a joke. I will like to see some type of improvement there.
However I dont agree with that much customization as to change your face maybe a haircut and thats it.

AshySamurai · December 2014

Please show PvPers some love, we haven't had anything since launch!

lol! Most buffs/nerfs was made because of PvPer's crying.

Ashtaris · December 2014

Making Craglorn cross faction. It's hard enough to find four people at the same stage of their questing, but to find four people in the same faction? I would love to go out and quest with some of my guildies but it's been really difficult to setup a group.

Enemy-of-Coldharbour · December 2014

Two more slots on action bars.
Cross-faction grouping after completion of main quest.

I'd like to add that while you can specialize in dealing certain type of magic, you are pretty much required to slot a dmg shield or a heal to stay competitive (in PvP atleast)

I would like something to be done about that & specializing being rewarded more. What they could do is divide spell healing & damage, requiring you to pick one in which you excel, meaning you could be a good DPS or a good healer (dmg shields should also scale off this), not both. Or you could be average at both.

To further balance, they could increase the DPS of magicka builds to same level as stamina builds currently have, after this change .

Agreed with that. But include Coldharbour as well; the way it is set up in Stirk (Messages Across Tamriel, Weight of Three Crowns) makes that lore-appropriate.

1) Agreed, Zeni must erase Veteran Ranks, Champion points are enough motivation to level up.

2) Imperial City is a MUST be here now, since... idk... release?!

3) Agreed with @Ashtaris, the adventure zones must be "cross faction", there is not war, just adventure, please let us join to the glory without flags.

djnapstyb14_ESO · March 2015

LFG tool should be priority #1

GreySix · March 2015

Meh, would just like to see grouping finally fixed.

Pissing in the wind though.

janishewskib14_ESO · March 2015

I just want an HD texture pack. Possibly 2K and 4K. The textures, especially in the natural environment, are awful up close. Some new single player content would be nice as well.

Iyas · March 2015

For me fixing the lag is the top priority

LameoveR · March 2015

Are you waiting for Santa, hm?
I think we all was a bad boys and girls last year. So, please, take your part of lags and bugs. Oh, and no subscription fee, of course.

Seraphyel · March 2015

Update 7 will have no content. It will be all about fixing bugs and balancing issues.

LameoveR · March 2015

It will be about Crown Store :-P

lihentian · March 2015

really really want dark brotherhood and thieves guild..

HaldaAinur · March 2015

A barber shop and a body modification parlor (tattoos, skin etching, tribal paints, piercings), are sorely needed. Some everyday clothing for peasants-nobles would be more than welcome in the crown store as well, along with some new pets and mounts as there isn't an awful lot of variety yet.

Mr.Turtlesworth · March 2015

Honestly, I just want small scale pvp and spell crafting.

The roof top thing needs to be fixed too

Sturmtiger · March 2015

Update the terrible LFG tools.

More hairstyles; twintails, where are you?!

Item appearance changer, normal rules apply like: Dwarven chest piece heavy armour changed to Iron chest piece heavy armour only etc etc.

Barber shop.

Septimus_Magna · March 2015

First fix the lag in cyrodiil so we can enjoy pvp.
Second, release Imperial City so we finally have new pvp content.
Third, spell crafting so we can further diversify builds, an extra slot for (toggled) abilities would be welcome at this point.

I really think ESO is a great game but it has the potential to be even better. If ZOS manages to fix the problems (mainly the lag) and offers content updates on a regular basis ESO will be fun for several years to come.

Akselmo · March 2015

I am waiting for the Enforcer thing for the justice system. It sounds so much fun.

For PvP it is a big issue that High DPS can heal to much.

Leijona · April 2015

I just removed with the stuff I don't really care for, at least not for update 7. The rest I can only sign.

I didn't remove the last point, allthough I don't play PvP. But in my opinion it is good to grant other players what they need as well instead of only wishing things for oneself.

HaldaAinur · April 2015

A barber shop is supposedly being worked on, so some form of post customization is probably going to pop up, most likely just the basics (hair, adornments, bodymarkings) . I've seen a lot of requests for jewelery and spell crafting, so that is another feature that will most likely be worked on as well. However, these will probably take a while to get to us due to the lag issue in cyrodil and other in game issues that need to be fixed.

Preyfar · April 2015

My update 7 wishlist: Content.

I don't care. Just... CONTENT.
