Silly odds and ends:

☆ Some Music While You Read

☆ Gambling

Nothing better than spending hours trying to double your gold.

You enter a tavern and notice the table at the end has a npc waving you over.
You approach and sit down and
another player joins you on your right.

Some cards pop up in front of you to scroll through.

Card 1) elder scrolls version of black jack

Card 2) elder scrolls version of roulette

Card 3) elder scrolls version of lucky 7s

Card 4) elder scrolls version of memory

Once the first player on the table selects a card. All remaining players have 30 seconds to select a card. If they fail to do so their character stands up from the table.

If the players all vote differently a message will appear saying random game selection. Forcing a random game then the game asks for bets as players can bet as little or as much as they wish (remember they are competing against the dealer not other players).

Once the bets are placed the game round begins. Players may leave or join at will and there is timers on player moves as to avoid them going afk on others.

Note: do not mention the addons that add a number generator as that is nothing like this.

☆ Quick Swapping For Consoles

Mainly talking ps4 side as i do not know what xbox uses.

Quick swapping means:
The ability to jump from in game chat to psn party chat and back quickly.

Because we will be using voice chat in the console version. A quick swap is needed as on consoles there is not many times you are not in a party chat with friends. This may not apply to everyone but i am sure the vast majority will come across this problem.

So i thought a quick mention would be needed as you guys have said there is no option to do this. So the current system is:

Minimize your game
Go up to party tab
Go inside it and find the switch tab
Swap to in game audio
Go back to home
Bring up your game again
Say what you need to in game
Then repeat the process back

So once again yeah without a type chat this will be sorely needed. But even with type chat this will still be very useful.

☆ Mini Games For The Phone App Idea From Series One.

One of the smartest moves around is having an app tied to a video game. Yes i am talking about Destiny, GTA and others but the reason to this is simple. Keep your players thinking about your game even while not playing. I have already listed many reasons and possible ideas for this in series one. But one main thing is the *mini game* market. If your wondering what this is well it is a simple set of mini games that could be tied to the eso app. That earns you in game exp and gold in small amounts.

So my idea is:

Mini game one
Practice opening lock boxes with increasing difficulty small and simple.

Mini game two
A simple slice and dice game involving our favorite crabs. Can you stop them from getting from a to b in increasing speeds and numbers.

Mini game three
Target practice much like skeet shooting but with arrows to help you hone your skills with a bow.

These are just simple ideas but the mini game concept is very effective.

I Disagree To All (Explain Below)

A series of minigames - be it in game via random gambling (that isn't even TES flavored), or as a phone app - is definitely not something I'm interested in supporting when we could have coders working on actual content.

As for quick swapping, special features developed by ZOS for single platforms seem like a waste of time, since it only effects a fraction of the playerbase at best.

Hello again BB well gambling is actually very much apart of eso and even between gods.

But the quick swapping was an idea if they dont wish to bring in the chat boxes.

The mini-game meta is sorely lacking in ESO... example fishing 1.0 and fishing 2.0

Yeah fishing needs a reboot and i hope if they ever look at mini gamed that fishing gets touched up.

I Agree To Some of This And I will Explain Below (What You Like/Dont Like)

Like number one, don't care for the rest or think it is even not necessary.

@Leijona
Sorry buddy had to cover them as quick swapping is important to us ps4 players especially and the mini game part is just another idea to go along with the phone app btw you should enjoy season 4 alot of hot topics and new ideas.

I really don't know how voice chat is working atm and if I'll be happy with it or not. That's why I don't care about it atm.
As I know myself, I would play such minigames all the time and I also liked your idea for an app. But I do know, that some people would think they need to have the app and play the minigames, even if they don't like it. That's why I don't really care about it

And please, not "buddy"

Might return to all your posts and give a little longer feedback

I Agree To All (Explain Below)

Oh, yes!

I like mini-games too, especially races, gambling, and any logic-game (classic kind of board games , or card games)

that would be really cool, YES!

I liked the race-mini-game in Kotor... also Pazaak (i'm not sure if it was a minigame in kotor too)

and other small puzzle-games that require logic to solve.. ; also memory games...

there was a mini-game during an ESO-event too, where players needed to find a Kajit... some new treasure-hunting-games with clues and hints would be cool too, absolutely!

if you could wager money (gold, ingame currency ofc

would be great too! maybe some players would spend more time playing those minigames (like online poker) instead of playing the "real" game, but for me it would be ok...it would give ESO another aspect/layer of diversity etc..

and there could be prices (tokens maybe) for good performances etc...for fast wins, good playing decisions etc...
