Spellcrafting - Any news about it or has it died?

SahrotRein · August 2015

I've missed couple of ESO Live streams so I am a bit out of picture right now but pretty much since last year's announcement I haven't read or heard anything about it. Only some time ago somebody said that it has been completely canceled.

Does anyone have any info?

Died, balance issues

Akavir_Sentinel · August 2015

It's been put on the backburner indefinitely...

Gidorick · August 2015

Shame. It would have been a cool addition.

Neither of these is true. Confirmed to still be in the works by Eric Wrobel a few ESO lives ago.

Edit: It was ESO Live episode 21

Everytime this question is asked, you have a few doom&gloomer saying it has died.
Or is on the backburner

Facts are:
No one really knows
The development of it was rather advanced given what was found by data mining
Zenimax kinda said it was still being developed recently
They NEVER said it was canceled
It surely doesn't show on the short term map (Orsinium, Thieve guild etc...)

You aren't getting spellcrafting anytime soon, it's as simple as that.

I've also datamined things like player crafted jewelry, but do we have that or has there been any mention of it? No.

six2fall · August 2015

Well if it did die im very disappointed. Was something really interested in seeing & without it i doubt range of skills & class will be enough to keep me coming back

That stuff you datamined was left over from beta crafting before they completely changed it. ;-)

They can't even manage to balance the skills each class already has and you want them to add new skills and skills from every other class? Not going to happen anytime soon.

Well i dont care about pvp so i dont see issue with majority of the skills. Also doesnt matter how many balances they attempt when it comes to pvp there will always be whiney players that wants nerfs or players that exploit etc.

This is probably the best evidence. I don't think it would've even came up if it was not being worked on.

If anything needs spellcrafting then it's the sorcerer summons, it's one thing they get old real fast, but it's so demotivating seeing a million other sorcs with the exact same summons. Templar could get some summon love as well.

Would be so nice to get my Golden Saint, Dark Seducer back (think "legendary spellcrafts" for those), I'd also settle for Frost and Flame Atronachs, there many other cool variations we could spellcraft doesn't *have* to have that much different stats, just different looks, behaviour and maybe some different abilities.

Necromancy spells aren't gonna be included in Spellcrafting

Rohamad_Ali · November 2016

One day .

TrueGreenSmoker · November 2016

Let's hope they put it in someday but just hope it won't be too late

Just as well there's more than enough necromancy in this thread then.

UppGRAYxDD · November 2016

No spellcrafting has been put on halt to focus efforts towards proc'crafting....

Yolokin_Swagonborn · November 2016

Nifty2g · November 2016

i hope they never decide to add it in, sounds so unbalanced

Zaldan · November 2016

not dead but currently on life support

Moloch1514 · November 2016

Didn't the lead dev of this project leave with the others?

That post was from a year ago, and I just checked in, to read it again.
Now, lets take a look at the "PvP Section"

PVP
- They want more capacity for reaction time and using skills and other actions.
- Moving away from FPS-style one-shot kills. They want to see health bars not jump around so drastically.
- The Battle Spirit Cyrodill buff will include a 50% reduction to damage, healing and damage shields. Numbers could be tweaked.
- PvP taunting: wait for spellcrafting (I think this was already datamined – some kind of charm spell that forces an enemy to move towards you).
- Regarding certain CP passives causing imbalances, especially in Cyrodiil, they don’t think a campaign for high CP players is warranted yet. They are looking at reducing the amount of experience needed to get the first few hundred CP.

Noticed something?
The bold Part had me laughing so hard

@Dominoid
Is there anything new datamined by the way?

nimander99 · November 2016

The guy working on it left ZoS over a year and a half ago... It died with him.

@Ragefist

Zero to do with balance.

Everything to do with Zos never gave developing it serious consideration.

nimander99 · November 2016

Ah Necro thread got me lol.

Nothing new and it's just backburnered for now. Not shelved like the Enforcers - although I hold out hope for a Thief-Enforcer "battle ground".

Ah, thanks for the quick answer.
For the battlegrounds, I hope they will give it a nice theme, too (like your suggestion of a thief-enforcer one).

Hello everyone,

This post is to let you know that we've felt it necessary to put this thread down as it seemed to have died some time ago. At this time we'd like to try and keep Draugr threads from roaming around front page, pushing down newer and more lively threads. If you would like, please feel free to continue discussing the matter on a more recent thread on the topic, or create a newer one of your own.

Thank you for understanding!
