WHEN WILL WE GET A COMPANION APP ?

Now I hate that the moment a new MMO comes out every aspect of it is scrutinized against WOW but this time I am going to use WOW as an example as I think they hit the nail on the head when it came to companion apps.

Anyway I think a companion app for this game could be a great addition for several reasons that I can see and I am more than confident you guys will come up with many more.

Guild Stuff
Communicating with my guild when I am out or at work can be difficult as the only way is the use of third party site like forums etc but this makes it more of a hassle for members currently in-game who would rather use the chat, so access to guild chat would be handy.

Access to Crafting?
This one I am not sure how it would work but a way to acces crafting outside the game would be handy for research due to the long times it takes. So if I start a research that would 6 hours and I know it will be complete when say I am at work it would be nice to be able to start the research for the next item from my phone.

Attributes & Skills
Sometimes when I am at work or at college a good idea for an action bar set up etc comes to me and it could be cool to just whip out my phone and start changing my characters skills around or assigning skill points and attribute points there and then.

So these are the few ideas i could muster but like I said there is many other options that I think could make a Companion app a viable option. If you leave ideas below i will try add them into this post for easier viewing. Anyway Discuss away!

    I think a way of moving bank items to characters through a companion app like destiny did would be awesome.

    a companion app would be a great start toward the AUCTION HOUSE! :)

    This same thought has occurred to me, I'd love to see an app!

    I also play Destiny and I really enjoy reading mission recaps as well as being able to study the grimoire cards with their official app on my ipad after I go to bed.

    Offhand, It would be supremely cool to be able to read all the lore books I've collected when not in the game. (I'm fully aware that somewhere on the Interwebz are ALL of the lore books, but it misses the point.) It would also be great to be able to scrutinize my character's progress and read about and plan their next ability/perk upgrades.

    Regardless, I dearly LOVE Elder Scrolls Online, it's an amazing virtual world and a true work of art.

    When you are at work, you should be working. Put the game down and forget it.

    I love all the ideas listed. It would really make for more immersion and an easier time doing different things rather than dealing with server lag

    This is my first MMO so I didn't know what a companion app was. I thought you were asking for a companion like Lydia in Skyrim, someone to "carry your burdens"!

    I love the idea. The big things I would like it to offer are guild chat, PMs, and horse training. Of course it should also have full Crown Store functionality, otherwise ZOS wouldn't have an incentive to offer it.

    Really not worth the development costs or the security/authentication liabilities it brings. Besides, one of the prime motives of an online game is to get you to log in at least daily. Otherwise it may as well be a single player game.

    And I have no idea how an app would improve immersion. You're not even in the game, you're in line at Starbuck's.

    This would be great for limited time offers when people can't get in the game for some reason but still have their phones.

    I would also love to train my horses from afar.

    I support the OP's idea.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    Crown Store access

    This will be the driving force, if they decide to do one. Mobile access to the Crown Store, right from your phone. No need to log in to buy the latest in Limited Time and Crown Crate cosmetic and convenience items. They will be right there waiting for you when you log into the game.

    All of the other stuff will be secondary, and could well be buggy and never work.

    Problably never but the issues sit an app it's the lack of QoL improvements in the game all around.
    Some things should offer opportunities while you're on and offline.

    Has there been any mention of this recently? Seems like a no brainer for ESO Plus, like the crafting bag.

    I held out on buying ESO Plus because I felt like the content in the base game was large enough. I recently purchased ESO Plus and the craft bag alone is worth the money imo.
