A few things that are needed for consoles

Daedgaming · December 2015

Hey guys, I played ESO back when the beta first came out and all the way to the release of Unlimited. I recently switched over to xbox one to be able to play with some of my friends and I gotta say, not having mods sucks. I am not saying mods should be able to work on xbox or anything like that at all. However that would be amazing if it could be done. No what I am suggesting is far more simple. Active abilities need a timer and we need to be able to see them like in World of Warcraft and other mmos on the bottom half or top half of our screens, just a little circle or something with the name of the ability and the timer on how much longer it will last. Just a suggestion and its quite small at that, what do you guys think?

Third person on Xbox One should allow you to zoom out at least 5x more then it does currently. Fully zoomed out right now is as close as I would normally zoom in on PC and only if I was looking at my armor.

Have you held down on the d-pad and pulled down the analog stick?? It allows you zoom out abit further

Yes but it wont go as far as I want it too.

Glad you mentioned this. I started writing about it once and gave up. I have a bear mount and it's almost impossible to even see the thing. Because of that, I use my lioness. Console feels optimized for first person play, which I still like a lot, but I think gives a distinct disadvantage in PVP.

God yes, the third person view on Xbox is awful! I'm far-sighted, I hate having anything so close to me, and when I play on Xbox I find myself stretching my neck trying to see over my own toon's shoulder. And I can't do first person, I need peripheral vision!

The ability timer is also something I don't understand why it's not in the game in the first place.

DRXHarbinger · December 2015

Have any of you actually tried to zoom out properly????? It's no different from PC. First world problems right here. No way in hell is this geared for 1st person.

Oldmanlawlor · December 2015

Third person camera goes super far away if you make it! Any forther and it would be like looking at a G.I in command and conquer.

NewBlacksmurf · December 2015

I think your preferences sound fine but I don't think ZOS needs to do any of this.

It could be something offered if they one day decide to change the UI but understanding that their intent was to make a game look and play like Skyrim and Oblivion, this may never come to consoles.

PC may be the best place if you like lots of options and mods

KYNG · December 2015

False, consoles need it. Not just xbox.

I support all of what you said. For me other than timers and a latency meter we need guild text chat and the lag fixed as priority.

Ever play Azuras Star on consoles? It worse than bad. If youre not lagging, its because you've already DC'd.

Daedgaming · December 2015

The UI for TESO is perfectly okay in my eyes I just want the active ability timers added. I am aware of the trick for Third Person mode but I am saying they should allow you to zoom out entirely from the menu, its insane that we have to do anything with the joystick and D pad. What really grinds my gears though is the chat system for consoles. I mean come on, I would of entirely copied the PC layout for consoles! Really frustrating trying to coordinate with people who have no mics. Sure it would take longer to type out things but at least we could!

Umm..... consoles can zoom out as far as the pc version can.

Hold down on the dpad and use the right analog to zoom in and out

Asherons_Call · December 2015

Zooming out is the least of my concerns

Peel_Ya_Cap_517 · December 2015

No thanks, I enjoy the minimalist interface. Makes the game much more enjoyable. I can't even watch videos of the pc players, with all that *** flying across the screen all the time. You can't even see the world around you!

As always it should be optional.

If you dont play competitively then yes, no need for add ons.

But not having the option to turn it off or on on an mmo makes no sense.

I agree with all but the UI, ever scroll in guild bank? Or have to search at traders?
Inputting the same thing for 4-5 traders in 17 different zones?

The UI is horrible.

Was it to much to ask for enemy health numbers or a %? So I'm not guessing when to use execute.

To be fair it takes just as much estimation to guess a percentage of the opponent's max health as it does how much of their bar remaining is said percentage.

Unless you're saying you want a mod that tells you when to use your finishing move...

Yeah that's silly. It'd be like having a display which told you when you could crowd control someone...

I will never understand why people are so insistent on supporting the poor to complete lack of information ESO likes to provide players. Especially considering a majority of the combat related bugs are directly related to people with add-ons bug reporting. If it really bothers you that much, don't turn on the features we are asking to be implemented to improve our gaming experience.

Daedgaming · December 2015

A lot of you missed my point or just dont know how to read so here.

1. We SHOULD NOT have to use the dpad joystick option to zoom out even further for it should all ready be in the MENU OPTIONS TO BE ABLE TO ZOOM OUT THAT FAR.
2. The communication system in my eyes is appalling, not everyone has a mic and it is extremely difficult coordinating with people who do not own one. I am suggesting they add the same chat system for consoles seen on pc.
3.I AM NOT SUGGESTING ADDING ANY MODS AT ALL SO WHOEVER SAID THAT YOU ARE WRONG, it would be cool if they could but they most likely will never be able to.

We need an active effects indicator I PvPed as a sorc in IC and could not see frags proc at all when the zerg v zerg war came.

I do agree but with frags in particular you can see the animation on the enemy player most of the time unless other animations are blocking you from seeing it. That being said I have never had any issues with roll dodging them or blocking them on either PC or console. I do however understand the pain you are going through and agree with this change.

I have a few new ones to add actually. (can be considered all platforms for #1 and #2)
1. I did enjoy the way the trading system worked as a PC player. Seeing as I was in some of the most successful trading guilds possible and my own old guild was decent. It struck me while playing the other day though, it is hard to sell goods on xbox. This is more of a suggestion and then a question for you all. Have you had the same issues with selling anything on consoles? And if you have would you agree that there needs to be one single grand exchange of sorts, one auction house. I would go on to add that there actually be two auction houses, one being a legal above ground and the other being a black market underground one.
2. The last part of 1 will be addressed now, I wish to see stealing and crime in general expanded upon. Really rare useful items should be part of the loot, things that would be considered useful for any level. With that idea laid out, I wish to see a black market for selling stolen goods to players established. With the addition of the DBH and the Thieves Guild coming up I hope to see at least a enhanced crime system, but I doubt they will take it as far as I would want them too.
3. I am annoyed that instead of the player name you see the GT on xbox one, I have not looked much into this one topic so if there is a way to change this please inform me but otherwise qq with me about it.

Technically TESV: Skyrim had a similar zoom button arrangement as TESO. As for #2 I have a guildie that did not have a mic at first, so we communicated on my guild website until he got one.

This is already resolved and is coming whenever it comes.

I thought this exact same thing about an hour or so ago.
I couldn't distinguish the frag proc from the zerg chaos.

Kalante · December 2015

more fov on console would be greatly welcomed.

It wouldn't be so bad if you could make the sound effects of your personal spells louder, as then you could easily hear the proc. This was the way I used to tell the proc (along with the glowing health bar) when I didn't have any addons and actually played my Sorc.

A chat box and to have only our character names visable is whats needed on console most at the moment imo.

Daedgaming · December 2015

Kind of annoying that there is no barber in the game either.

Eztrelle · December 2015

Text chat has surely got to be the top priority.

Text chat is the biggest issue right now.
