Some things ZOS has done very well

Recremen · August 2016

I am absolutely mired in negativity right now from the lockbox announcement so I thought I'd make a shortlist of excellent changes ZOS has brought/will bring to the game to take my mind off of it for a second.

THINGS DONE

Armor Dyes (this for real wasn't in base game. THE HORROR)
Shield Dyes
Costume Dyeing
Collections UI (remember having to keep an item slot open in your inventory just to carry around your pet?)
Vet Rank Removal
Champion Point System
Compensating CP for Vet-Ranked Characters
Stellar DLC content
CONSISTENT DLC schedule
PVP Town Capture
Stam rebalance (obviously still in flux, but I can at least wield a sword without dragging down my entire group)
Stam-based class abilities
Trials and now Trial Scaling
Trial Rebalancing (anyone remember the ubiquitous Stack And Burn Strategy that worked for everything forever?)
Veteran versions of dungeons
Undaunted pledges/monster set introductions (even if I can't wear them right now due to clashing aesthetics)

THINGS COMING

Level Scaling in every zone (this was a complete pipe dream for me, I'm still in awe that they're actually doing it)
Cross-Alliance PvE (same as above, this is ducking magical)
World Boss revamps
Lore-friendly holiday events

Okay, that's a little better. Don't get me wrong, the lockboxes are still a cancer that needs to be excised, but they're allowed to have the occasional bad idea in light of all of the above.

SWG did a boat-load of things right too. Housing, 32 professions- mixed and matched, large open worlds, etc etc etc. It's just as closed as if they didn't have those things.

TOR did story, cut scenes, voice overs. It's down to about 2 servers.

I could go thru all the great features in a boat-load of games and all it takes is 1 large mistake and all those great points simply doesn't matter any longer. Proff? Take a good look at the NGE.
