If you had 500 million dollars to buy ZOS and ESO.......

Thealteregoroman · August 2016

What would you change about the game? Or would you change anything?

Would you make it into more of a single player game like a traditional Elder Scrolls Game or would you still make it into an MMORPG? Would you have the factions and 4 classes or would you make it open and start where you want?
Would you make each dungeon in your game solo able?

Was this game what you expected and if you had the opportunity to buy it from them what would you change?

I would separate abilities from PvE and PvP... that way players who mainly PvE wouldn't have to suffer because of PvP nerfs. That would be where I'd start at least.

NewBlacksmurf · August 2016

I wouldn't as it would be a bad investment.

dsalter · August 2016

i'd get rid of this min max epeen BS by reintroducing soft caps (higher cap ofc), increase health regen gains slightly, increase block costs vs players, half the total stat gain from all cp stars (25% damage would become 12.5% for example) lessening the impact of CP, weaken the strength of thos whole AoE cap crap, increase the scaling of Det spells but lower the base amount so it needs to hit REALLY big amounts to 1 man wipe.

and thats just the start. played, beta'd and even written several reviews regarding balance in the past for many MMO's, single players etc, i know my stuff

you could also ask Trump for a small loan of a million dollar. if we get enough people to do we might achieve it ^^

JD2013 · August 2016

I wouldn't. I'd do this instead.

Minute_Waltz · August 2016

I would perm ban the cheaters so they need to buy new copies, perm ban them again until they quit. More revenues for me, better gaming environment for the community.

UltimaJoe777 · August 2016

If I had 500mil I'd do WAY better with it than buy TESO, like, I dunno, make my OWN game?

Tats · August 2016

I'd start a purge day where the entire world becomes a free for all pvp zone.

Milvan · August 2016

I like ESO how it is now. Perharps improve server performance and try to fix their engine tho.

I'd probably try to implement a lot of features from asian mmorpgs also xD. Mainly Archeage's features. Dude I really love a lot of those features, its a shame that it didn't went very well.

Thealteregoroman · August 2016

I guess I would start and say I will take 1 whole year off and shut down servers and company for a paid...."break" and give refunds and learn from the mistakes from Tamriel Unlimited and come back so strong to give a truly organic Elder scrolls experience...........once this happened I would charge a monthly fee to play the game and delivered what the Elder Scrolls fans want......

I feel like Oblivion blew up because it was so different and with Skyrim they grew upon that but when that torch was passed to ESO I kinda feel like they were very ambitious and bit off more than they can chew.

No disrespect but I want to be able to play this game AS WELL as the special edition Skyrim and not just leave ESO. I am a HUGE fan but I am just wondering what is it exactly that isnt making it seem like this isnt BLOWING WOW or any other mmo out of the water.

This game is stunning, fun, the story and questing is awesome but why do I feel like there is some sort of invisible barrier mentally? Like at times I can't connect.....

But yea if I had the money I would def buy stock into this company and help it be the ABSOLUTE BEST it could be.

Daemons_Bane · August 2016

Let them keep it.. I don't know how to do their job, and overall, I am happy with the product that they offer to me

I totally didn't even think of that!

EVEN if that meant you were one of the guys sitting and calling the shots?

Having the ideas is dandy, but having the Staff, Resources, and know how to pull it off is a whole 'nother thing entirely. Buying out ZOS so our wants and desires are no longer ignored won't actually change anything.

But anyway, I know what you meant.

I'd try to figure out what makes Crashinium so damn unstable. I'd also take away all of the Mob's One Hit Wonder abilities so Boss Fights aren't so infuriating.

GrumpyDuckling · August 2016

I would not buy ZOS, I'd rather invest in Bethesda-made Elder Scrolls games.

DANG! I can see that. You are hired lol.

Reverb · August 2016

I'd bring a group in to have a long, long talk with Wrobel's combat team, to find out what the hell has been happening. Are their ideas bad? Or just poorly implemented?

Edit: and I'd do a complete overhaul of the Marketing and Customer Support depts.

I'm sure he will make a great president however I wouldn't want his help unless he genuinely had a love for the Elder Scrolls series.

Wow · August 2016

I would buy wedding dresses and guars to all my trading guilds members in all slots

komodozermike · August 2016

I would add far more dialogue choices with NPCs and multiple endings for the main quest, depending on the decisions you made.

This would probably not go well amongst hardcore fans, but I would add some sort of Easter egg or extremely subtle implication that the Fallout and Elder Scrolls series are intertwined, and Nirn came to be due to historical events that occurred on present-day Earth.

MaxwellC · August 2016

The real question is why in the world would you waste 500 Million dollars to buy a company's branch + a game? I got better things to invest in like the stock markets or creating a business fueled by the various ambitions I harbor.

Duh. Skyrim is single-player and ESO is multi-player.

Simple fix - I would take off the horrendous managerial shackles that prevent them from doing (1) what they know is right (2) doing what they always dreamed of doing, mostly by getting rid of their terrible adherence to Agile practices which added to the horrendous bean-counting, PR absurdities that prevent communicating with the player base and lack of adequate resources despite being owned by a multibillion dollar multimedia conglomerate are the root of all the problems you're always seeing around here.

YIKES!

Doctordarkspawn · August 2016

I'd fire the current lead combat designer, put someone else in charge who understands why PVE and PVP need to be seperate, has at the very least -less- favor toward one role than the other three and hopefully start working on *** this game.
