depends honestly, i would not like people running around with god items. but adding new dungeons would be nice considering for morrowing/skyrim and even oblivion there where some modders who where REALLY good at it.

I think there could be some interesting opportunities for user content that's unique to ESO. I made a thread earlier today about a user created lore books concept (https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/266111/player-created-lore-books-concept/p1).

But I would like to see user made dungeons and questing (https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/144735/player-created-content-suggestion-for-the-future-of-eso/p1)

So +1 from me!

No. ZOS doesn't even beta test their own creations. Do you REALLY think they're going to double check anyone else's.

Look at Second Life; I used to play and I'm in contact with the community on the social media platform called Plurk. It is a PC killer. You need an extremely good rig to play it. A lot of the items made there are not optimized mesh - many have too many vertices which increase load times to the extreme. This stuff is made by hobbyists. Fitted mesh pants used to stretch and dance all over the screen when it was first implemented.

It would not be good for ESO at all. The lag in Cryodil? Increased tenfold. Forget slow-mo fighting. You'd never be able to move again.

And kickbacks to creators? Do you know how much of a mess Second Life's tax system is? You have to have ID to make money to prevent tax fraud.

Please no. ZOS already has so many bugs and issues to work out.

Unlike add-ons which use an API, writing new dungeons entirely would require access to source code.

ZOS is unlikely to allow their source code to be replicated and taken offsite (virtually or not) to be edited. They may have portions which they do not have the rights to redistribute. And their lawyers would probably nip in the bud any dilution of their IP assets or increased exposure to risks from malicious code.

On paper, great idea... But in an MMO my friend, I believe it would be an unmitigated disaster

Ugh. Please no. Ive seen some terribly done player content. Even with the mods for the single player games, it wasnt always great additions. Even there you had to sift through the garbage and the multi-added content that people were relisting in an attempt to sell it off as their mods to find the good ones.

I really really do not want to have my stomach twist jumping into some player created content here in this game.

Neverwinter seems to have the right idea


Would be nice if we get to make our own mini dungeons

Too many trolls and not enough bridges OP

I appreciate all the responses. Even if the majority disagree I still enjoy the discussion.

Although; I see many disagreeing based upon ideas they've seen in other games. That's not really what I meant.

To clear up a few things...

No user content like mods and badly done content. No scrolling through a ton of pre designed dungeons.

I didn't mean create your own dungeon (although like forge on halo, in theory could be cool. You have a canvas, you can add walls, enemies, etc. think tony Hawks create a park)

What I specifically meant was, allowing users to download the info needed to alter and edit existing code to scale dungeons and triaka. Then submit it to zos for testing and approval. And then they implement the work done by users, to expand current gameplay.

Mainly scaling of trials and normal dungeons into vet ones.

Even if disagreeing, please understand what I mean. I surely don't mean 10000 custom created dungeons shoved into the game.

Terrible idea. I can't see anything good coming out of it. Firstly I doubt zos would bother checking anything, secondly the mods must be in our computers and not their servers or they will be filled within weeks. And if they are local it will be easy to cheat. And then there is the problem of people having to download every single mod to keep up with the rest of the playerbase.
