    Now that the Konk is gone, did anyone pick up the torch? Is this system still a possibility?

    the developer who made spellcrafting concept already retired

    im thinking its never gonna happend

    I read on reddit he has not been retired, but assigned to the Monetization Department, because he felt lonely in design...alone...and is now working there on the crowncrafting system which will enable players to generate crown store items to their liking and buy them afterwards.

    I hope no part of what you said is true.

    No.

    This is THE feature I am the most excited for that they announced at Quakecon. This is what brought me back to ESO and many of my friends - anticipating this feature. If they implement it and get it right it can set them apart from almost all MMO's out there and really make this game a true TES experience.

    Simply. No. I refuse to accept that it won't be implemented soon. Spellcrafting "Soon"TM or riot.

    Can we please have a community manager @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom shed some light on this subject please? It would be nice to keep your community in the loop on such things that have been publicly announced officially and let us know where are we standing at.

    Thank you.

    Well, someone has to keep the dream alive opposed to just letting it go silently into the night and helping to lay it to rest . . .

    And, /facepalm and /lawl all you want, rather an Ostrich than a Troll.

    Why don't we let them fix penetration and resistance anomalies first.

    Before they let players make their own* spells.

    Not for along time it seems, I think the person that was working on it no longer works at ZOS, that's is the Konk, and with console release, the game going B2p, everything said before B2p, is most likely on hold or they are working on a way to fit it into a DLC.

    Considering it's taking more than a year for them to put in things they promised for last year, I would estimate the time it'll take based on "hope to" being 1,432 years.

    Oh, I'm sorry - I'll be more explicit for you:

    customer choice is a great thing. I would rather pay for my own unique costume piece than one 1000 other people have. However, I'm sure the original idea you're quoting is a joke.

    Sadly I think this idea might have died when that Nick guy left but who knows. I do believe he was gone when ZOS staff made a comment on a reddit AMA around the time Update 6 was getting released that it was still being planned/worked on.

    My guess is they will judge whether or not to go forward with customer demand. If it's talked about a lot with lots of people wanting it... they probably will go forward with it. If not then they will silently sweep it under the rug.

    Copied from the reddit AMA:

    Will spellcrafting still be an added feature in the near future ?

    Yes this is something that we're still planning to add to the game.

    great but its already a year too late... This game will be two years old soon for some of us, I dont think that spellcrafting is going to save the game. Its the feature I wanted the most but it should have been done last year.

    Sure. I agree. I cancelled sub on January and have only been playing very lightly while I wait for updates. I recommend you take a break too.

    I have... I was waiting for REAL content that I have been promised for 8-9months... I came back on the forums because the console launched and was sure the content they held back (that has been done collecting dust) would get launched. It seems they will announce the first DLC in two weeks, then next month they will launch the DLC (Imp city for $25), then another 2or3 months later they will launch the next DLC... so I see spell crafting and removal of VR levels to be Q3 of 2016 (when I come back)

    I would be very surprised if they didn't release spell crafting eventually, looking at the amount they already have into it. Obviously it will be years before it's done because, ya know, gotta make em wait.

    I hope it does happen,I hope my dream of illusion skill lime isnt a illusion. But maybe if it doesnt happen they could add the Telvanni guild and skill tree at least combined with dark brotherhood and thieves guild

    It will happen. They anounced it in one of the last twitch streams (I don't remeber which), when Eric Wrobel said, that they won't change a skill, because they have a spellcrafting skill, which should has this function.
    He added fast, that he can't give us a ETA or even saying a timerange, but they are even plan with it. So, you will see spellcrafting in the game. Sadly the question is when exactly.

    I opinion about it: would be a nice addition for the dark brotherhood and thiefguild DLC. The concept is finished. So it is not impossible to bring it with this DLCs
