Spellcrafting has to come true!!!

altemriel · October 2015

I read that Konkle (the Lead designer for that) left ZOS, but hopefully they assigned it someone new and this will become true!!!

First of all they have to increase the server capacity, for the AoE of these new spells not to lag the servers!!! But please @ZOS do not drop this awesome idea!!!

It's still on the table. Gina confirmed it on an episode of Elder Scrolls Off The Record.

With all the problems people have with skills these days I believe Spellcrafting will only cause more issues. But what would I know, I'm a realist.

Pipe dreams man.

Completely agree there, and I am a cynical realist:P

Well there would be a lagging problem, which is visible in PVP, when large groups fight and use spells in the same time. But if @ZOS would dramatically increase the server capacity, that problems will dissapear and they could introduce any new content like this.

I would love to craft my own new spells and be a mage like that elf woman in the "Three fates" trailer!!

they would have to increase the server capacity anyway after some time when including new DLC contents and more people comming in to play the game. so why not doing it now and use it to handle spellcrafting too!!

a lot of PVP problems would be solved with that!!

Did anyone actually watch the video . . . It looks awesome and if they do it right (big if) it would be great!

I don't disagree that it would be pretty awesome. I'm just not sure ESO is ready for something like this yet.

They can't balance current skills, and when they do "try" they create monsters like todays nightblades lol. literally 52% of my deaths come from Nightblades.

They simply don't have the man power to deal with the skills at this point in time.
Dragonknights in general, pet sorcs, and others are completely unsupported at this time.

Do I believe they will eventually get it into the game? yes
Do I believe it will be stable or balanced? No, infact I think the entire thing will be Vastly under-developed, or OP and bug riddled, and it will essentially destroy pvp.

Lets face facts... You have unsupported classes and specs, Skills that are routinely broken like the"trap beast"fiasco, stamina/magicka morph balancing that is abysmal, Weapon imbalances that have everyone using a 2h sword or DW whether they are magicka or stamina based, and pvp servers that are more unstable then a 2 year old after 16 cups of coffee.

Adding in spell crafting to "enhance" the game would be tantamount to "enhancing" the cooling performance of your computer by pouring cold soda on it.

Said the same right after it was announced. It's good that other people eventually reach the same conclusion.

Aye, but tbh, personally I have been jaded since PC Early Access, and still have a love/hate relationship with the game hehe.

Its the only thing that will make me stay in ESO in the forseeable future.

That's a load off. After all the hype I thought I'd be alone in thinking it was a bad idea, but yeah I feel the need to voice my opinions on these matters because I'd hate to see more problems being added into the game before older issues are resolved.

first of all, they have to dramatically increase the server capacity, which would solve the lagging in PVP and also they can then drop the AoE caps (causing lagging too). When this would be done, the way for spellcrafting is open!!

I think you misunderstand. It's not just about the lag.. I get you're excited about Spellcrafting, but ESO just isn't ready until class imbalances and current skills are fixed, otherwise you're just adding a whole new set of problems to the game.

Maybe, I am not an expert into these things. But I just cant wait to craft my own spells!!!

Oh please no, please drop it ZOS. Won't end well.

They won't drop it I imagine. Too many PvErs want it, and they make up a pretty large population, whereas the PvPers want fixes and solutions instead of features.
If they were to add it, I'd hope to god they would limit the crafted spells to PvE for the time being.

SHADOW2KK · October 2015

TBH I would prefer that they completely fix da game and everything in it first before bolting on extra parts, regardless of how wanted these parts are.

No sense in bolting on extra bells and whistles if the core framework is a flawed masterpiece IMO.

Truths have been spoken. Agreements are to be had.

Words of wisdom my friend, unsurprisingly enough, I am in agreement hehe.

Indeed. Throwing more content at an already broken game is just going to cause more problems, as we are already finding out. If your car wouldn't run properly, you wouldn't try to cure it by adding speakers or a stereo.

Exactly matey, exactly.

Seen this game change a lot since closed beta days, some good, some bad, sure the game will arrive to a state that pleases as many as possibe...

...so waiting to be 100% perfect until adding new content could last years. they could just fix the major issues and add some new content and then fix the smaller issues on the run!!

Heh, well it wouldn't be an Elder Scrolls game without bugs. Perhaps they are intentional to make us feel like we're playing the real thing
