What do you want to see in the next Road Ahead?

It does not matter what I want to see on the road Ahead. They already have it figured out so why care?

i doubt its finalized, there are tons of projects they have had in development that have been pushed back, or missed deadlines. ZoS is careful about what they tell us, largely because of their failure to meet their own expectations.

Right now the team they have in place is working very hard for console release, other projects take a back seat yet again. Only after they have hit the goal for console will they work on the road ahead again.

They have ideas of what they want to be in it, i find it impossible to believe they know for sure what it will include.

My money is it showing up two weeks post release as a cute news message to their new players to show off the future shiny new things, to keep them interested and to get them to subscribe so the console players stay motivated.

what we want to see..... new content

what we will see.......CONSOLE, LOOK, ITS SHINEY

I'd really like the lag to be addressed. It's difficult questing with a friend when every single time one of us uses meteor or happens to aggro more then 3 monsters to AOE down, the whole game just goes into a seizure and freaks out for a few seconds while the latency jumps to 999+

With the way lag is right now, it's not an MMO. It's a slower single player game that happens to be online.

I keep hoping after console release they start to release content at faster pace. Hopefully at least two or three update rapidly. That would make the end of the year.

Leijona · May 2015

I thought about voting for "Solo RP content", as you put housing into it. But then I remembered, there will be no housing until 2017 anyways, so I went with New Zones ^^

GaldorP · May 2015

What makes you think it's going to be soon?

Have you seen this post by Jason Leavey:

Hey @AdamBourke. Don't worry, they haven't stopped. We tend to tie this article close to our content updates. Rest assured, we'll have more Road Ahead features in the near future!

Close to content updates would mean no new Road Ahead until after console release?

To answer your question what I would like to see in the next Road Ahead article: Anything, any little bit of new info about new content coming to the PC version. (The console version is another game world not in any way linked to the PC game anymore after the initial character copy service so I don't care about that at all!)

jeevin · May 2015

Another generic round up of what the games current features are. And hopefully we'll get more screen shots of the content Zos used to string us along with while we were still paying a subscription. Hopefully they refuse to address, or even acknowledge, any of the games major issues. Can't wait!

JWKe · May 2015

I would really like to see some organized small scale PvP. I would also like to see a PvP game style similar to that of SWTOR huttball that was great fun

Tyvarra · May 2015

Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood and SPELLCRAFTING! You told us about these things a few month after the release, what is now approx. a year. And still nothing!

Dont't tell people whats going to come when you can't provide it any time "soon". Its frustrating to be excited for sth thats not showing up. For me that is spellcrafting...wanted to have this sooo badly.

You haven't released a damn thing since 5 month and on top of that is the bad lagging problem in pve and pvp. I could kill time playing pvp as it is, because I like it, but the lag is ruining it for me. So what to do when there is nothing new and you cant play pvp? Right...quit!

GrimMauKin · May 2015

Zenimax have consistently ignored long standing bugs and continually piled more and more content on top. After a year of paying subs and submitting bug reports (and I didn't really pay to become a beta tester) I'm still dying regularly because my basic skills are badly bugged and often just don't work at all (I've also just got kicked out of Craglorn in the middle of combat by a never ending loading screen).

Even with a cancelled subscription and free to play I'm seriously considering giving up all together.

TESO had the potential to be the best multi-player game out there but it so bug ridden it's a joke instead!

I'd like to see a firm and scheduled commitment to removing all class/skill related bugs, so we can actually play the game properly, before anything else is considered.

NadiusMaximus · May 2015

I'd like to see a picture of the ESO.exe file on each of their computers. Then I'd like to see them double click it. After which I'd like them to enter their password and choose a toon to play. Once they are in the game, I'd like to see them enter a que for Cyrodil and enter pvp. Once in I'd like to see their reaction to the rage in chat about exploits, lag, and just common douchery that goes on. Then I'd like to hear why they think it's OK and perfectly acceptable to have part of their game in such shambles.

But, all we will hear is the same old stuff. So it doesn't matter.

New items In store
Stupid stuffed animal
Consoles
Chit chat
Talk of stuff that is completely different than what we are asking answers to.
Consoles
Don't forget to look in the store
Summer vacation plans
Stuffed animal on head
And to wrap it up..... Consoles

Enodoc · May 2015

I don't care if they don't show us anything completely new in the next Road Ahead, what I would really like to see is estimated timeframes of release for all the stuff they have shown us (or otherwise announced) already:
Wrothgar, Murkmire, Imperial City, Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, Clockwork City, Abah's Landing, Spiral Skein, Spell Crafting, Horse Races, Justice PvP, Removal of Veteran Ranks.
I don't expect dates or anything, just seasons would be good. For example:

Targeted for Summer 2015:
Imperial City, Wrothgar, Murkmire

Targeted for Autumn 2015:
Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, Spiral Skein, Abah's Landing, Removal of Veteran Ranks

Targeted for Christmas 2015:
Justice PvP, Spell Crafting

Targeted for Q1 2016:
Clockwork City, Horse Races

Its going to be soon, we all have preferences as to what content we would like to be in the game, in a ideal situation what would you want to be talked about in the next road ahead?

Keep in mind, road ahead is there to preview content, not necessarily mean its what you want to see next in the game.

They do not do the road ahead anymore or new content

Now, the do Crown Store Previews and Crown Store Item Updates

titanofdoom · May 2015

More high level solo content.

Better loot in public dungeons ( the same as acquired in delves at least).

Lower XP per VR level to scale as per 49 - 50.

Davadin · May 2015

1. Housing.
2. FULLY Open World PvP.
3. Combat mechanic tweaking. Like last time 2.0 hits, but MORE. Need to have more weight in each attacks and receiving hits...

Faugaun · May 2015

Additional purchasable character slots

Wintersage · May 2015

Actual.

Road.

What we're likely to get, though, is a lengthy explanation of how it's actually just raining.

Dodas · May 2015

what about all of these? All of these make the best mmo

I didn't include an "all of the above" option because it would instantly be the only one people would vote for. Having people actually need to choose their favorites allows the forums moderators to show this to a developer at some point if they feel its worth their time to.

While I also would like to hear a timeframe of their schedule of future updates, I very much doubt they will neither be as concrete nor as fast paced as the one proposed by @Enodoc .

However any timeframe information would be nice, even if it is merely 'first DLC expected in august 2015' without telling us what the content of the DLC would be.
Although I am still busy with the silver quests, it feels not right that the game has not had any content update for so long. This reminds me of FunCom's Age of Conan, which also had a lot of content in the pipeline but released very very slowly.

vovus69 · May 2015

I want spellcrafting and new solo end game content.

Romo · May 2015

Here's your road ahead:

1. voice Chat in consoles.
2. other stuff after that, maybe.

starlizard70ub17_ESO · May 2015

I choose exploration, new areas. But in truth, nearly anything would be good at this point. However I really don't see ESO adding anything til late 2015 or early 2016. (Except more crown store pets, mounts, etc.)

Indeed probably not, it wasn't supposed to be accurate or predictive, just an example of how they could present the information without being too specific. Although I personally would rather see exactly what content vaguely when, over vaguely what content exactly when.

EQBallzz · May 2015

Does it even matter at this point? It's not like the road ahead articles are grounded in any sort of reality with where the game is going (when they even get published at all). They might as well change the name to "The Road Ahead *is paved with good intentions*" or just show a repeat of Quakecon 2014.
