Crazy new ideas for ESO

One of the things that make WOW great is that it appeals to many audiences
For example there is a built in battle pet system comparable to Pokemon.
I am not saying that we need a battle pet system but some content that is new and like nothing we have seen before would be great.
For example add in some harvest moon like gameplay, grow your own gardens and raise animals, a system like this could give people 100 hours
Or perhaps a very in depth fishing and hunting system
Or pub card games, tourney's, and gambling
Another PvP mode, death matches, 6 V 6 ( even set classes if we must) upgrade and unlock like call of duty
Player written books (imagine all the great writings people do make, and having a shot at ESO fame with there book s, they would feel incredible)
I know this is not sounding very Scrollsy, but WOW does stuff like this and it kicks butt, I care about the game and am just throwing out my 2 cense, if people want this stuff okay, if ZOS gets that good

BossXV✭✭✭✭Yes they are not your typical dragon hunt, but that's the point, to hit more than 1 audience, you might not like farming, but like card games and get a few hours in a week0

While I do agree that the game does need more to do, pointing out something wow added after it was already on the down slide as a reason it was great seems a little odd.
Also while I'm not interested in it, housing is coming next update, which will fill that hole for some.Edited by vyndral13preub18_ESO on November 27, 2016 8:17PM0 -
Birdovic✭✭✭✭✭Hey there, I think the ideas are great, and finally someone is NOT asking for flying dragon mounts!
The Garden Suggestion is interesting I'd say.
Just look at how hyped people are for Housing.
Using a garden works hand in hand here, is nothing lore breaking and acutally pretty useful.
I imagine it like you can chose lets say 4 kinds of flowers. And once per day you have 1 harvest node for each of those chosen plants availaible to pick up, next to your house.
Basically hirelings, but without the random factor.
Hunting, Fishing.
To me, fishing is super boring as it currently is ingame and I avoid it as much as I can.
If they added a minigame to it, and maybe some more rewarding stuff to haul in, sure why not?
I think its a cool idea, but I doubt a card game will be availaible.
For gambling though, wasnt there something planned with horse racing?
You mentioned "another pvp mode", thats already happening and I think we will soon hear more about it ("Battlegrounds").
The player-written book part is also pretty interesting. But honestly, If I could decide about that, no. Easily because people could just ruin it by writing books with "OIHOIDHSOIDHSIO" this kind of content to annoy others.
ZOS instead should start a competition from time to time, where people can write a "lore book" of any kind (book, note, scroll, whatever). Then, they will decide who won(some ingame price) and implement exactly that book as established lore into the game, and maybe even future games.Edited by Birdovic on November 27, 2016 8:27PMAttempt and Thoughts to Overhaul Scaling, Attribute System and Enchantments

DARTH_R8D3R✭✭I applaud OP's ideas here! Thank you for not just saying you want new original content, but also offering up suggestions for said new content. While some of these ideas I personally would not have an interest in, some I would for sure, like gardening, and I'm sure others would have an interest in the things that I'm not interested in! Any other ideas people have?The Autumn Wind...1 -

✭I liked the gardening/animals idea a lot. I am crossing fingers and toes in the hope housing will implement the gardening/animal raising aspect of your suggestions.1 -
Cencewolf✭✭✭Implying that ESO needs to be like WOW, is painful..
Implying ESO should be anything like pokemon.. Is laughable.. Thanks for that.
Observationally if you draw your "2 cents" from those two games alone, than you have inadvertedly done the community a decent service, and pointed out what should NOT be considered... Ever.. Just...my...opinion.0 -

I never said it needs to be like Pokemon, and I wasn't trying to say it should be like wow. I was trying to say broadening our horizon may be useful. They did it, went well, maybe we should expand in our own way0 -

DARTH_R8D3R✭✭Wait, just because someone likes Pokemon they can't like ESO? In the end, aren't we all gamers? I for one thought it would be cool to catch all the different types of animals in Tamriel. Have like a mini-zoo in my backyard of my $5 million dollar home I'm going to buy. Seriously, that would be cool! Hire some wood elves to tend to them and a place to store my mounts and pets when I'm out adventuring...The Autumn Wind...1

This type of [censored] always pops up in these threads. I think your suggestions are lovely, alas the book part (as has been pointed out) is bound to be trolled because anything ever used by the RP community is bound to be trolled by people who for some odd reason think as MMO players they can call the RPers nerds. Oh well."Your mistake is you begged for your life, not for mercy. I will show you there are many fates worse than death."

I had a tiny football that I invented a game called "nardball" to use in, where you used an aluminum bat to try to hit it up the terraces beyond the parking lot of the tenement I grew up in. What a great game. Chaos reigned!

You got any suggestions? Broadening the game to appeal to more people sounds like a good idea to me.
And I don't think any of said things would interfere with the rest of the game.
Hopefully they will see this thread and start working to implement some new stuff tomorrow.
I don't think OP was suggesting to copy any other game. Just look at them for ideas of how games implement extra options to appeal to more people.3 -

✭Hi OP, I have been suggesting ideas like yours since the beginning of the game. Unfortunately there are so many gameplay balance issues that all of your cool suggestions take back seat.
However . . . I REALLY WANT ZOS TO MAKE TAVERNS MORE VIBRANT AND ALIVE
-Brawling system
-Gaming system
-Drinking system
And by systems I mean just some fun side content and embellishments to make the game more fun!0 -

Actually now that player dueling is a thing I'm going to start some fight clubs in and outside of taverns. Betting pools, champions etc . . .0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Make ESO more WOW? Nope!
Pokemon in ESO? Nope!
Batte pets? Nope!
...
...how-ever...
A tamriel-style "pet trainer" system...? We have frog races, lizard races and the like, that could be expanded for characters who buy a pet in the crown store. Race your fennec fox against NPC critters! Train your Sep Adder to slither faster! Whip your wolf pup into shape! (not with actual whips of course, we cannot condone that sort of animal cruelty! Besides, whips are for slaves...
)
A gardening system for housing... or at guild halls... where you can plant and with some attention, harvest alchemy ingredients? Bring it on! (My main really needs more nightshade... )
Tavenrs definitely need some love, I want every tavern to have two out of a wide selection of pub minigames... one to play against an NPC, and one to indulge in contests with player characters, maybe? So one tavern might have an NPC dart challenge and a PC drinking game, and the next may have an NPC drinking game and a PC card table, and the next an NPC arm wrestling table and a PC dartboard, and the next an NPC magic tug-of-war game and an PC dice game and the next... you get the idea, yes?
And the games should be different, not only in operation, but also in character chances... I would love it if high heatlh characters had an huge edge in the drinking game (as their strong constitution helps them with the alcohol) while high magica charactes dominated the magical games, and large&muscular characters gain an edge at the arm wrestling table over small and scrawny characters, etc.
PvP arenas? A definite possibility, though you can already do duelling in Hammerdeath as I recall... Still, some more involved arenas for group-vs-group contests could be set up in some instanced region, I would not mind that, even if I myself care little for that kind of PvP... I know there are some who love it, and it IS useful sometimes...
Player made books?? You mean, stuff where ZOS would need to hire more personell to check and moderate the content to prevent "Oh, noes, I just read an fanfic story with a -censored for forum sensibilities, but its really naughty- content, my innocent mind feels soiled, I'll sue!" events? Not gonna happen.
Player made style books and such on the other hand... well, we have been talking about that sort of thing: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/301619/crafting-skill-line-concept-inscribing0
