Not here anytime soon I'm afraid. With the game as it is it would be the last straw to make magicka builds immortal. They are still trying to balance out classes, hardly paying any attention to player feedback.

On top of that, this is an MMO, unlike Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion where spells were just...spells. In here spells are more, they are Skills, the main way of dealing effective damage, support and healing. If spell crafting were to be added, that would totally destroy stamina classes because there would be no way of crafting stamina based skills, unless added. And stamina based spells make no sense at all . Stamina represents physical energy while Magicka represents spiritual or magic energies.
(even though the game already has magic skills that use stamina)

And can you imagine what would happen if you let the community craft skills for an MMO? If you ask me the only way it might be viable is if serious restrictions are applied and they do not every outperform class spells/skills.

Well, if they actually added spell crafting, they could just as easily do some kind of martial arts ability crafting for stamina abilities as well. One done with the Mages Guild and the other done with the Fighters Guild. Of course neither of them are actually going to happen.

Same place it's always been. Just hype.

Hopefully in the "things that will never be added" pile.

It was cancelled/scrubbed and as far as we know never coming now.

Unless you hear another update from ZOS regard it as a discontinued project.

no one ever said it was cancelled, zos simply said it's on the backburner for now...

Lol jesus the game is almost four years old. There has been no real game enhancments cp is a travesty of alternate advamcment. And the best Zos could come up with for 40 bucks is a big new solo area 1 class and 2 instanced pvp arenas. And you think zos has some long term plan to add game changing features to this game when they cant even fix the ones it launched with? Bwaaahahahah

@Wifeaggro13

It's been barely 3 years and there is also a shiney new trial coming as well. Actually a pretty good expansion, outside of the controversial sustain changes, but that will be ok.

@Eshelmen

I don't really see anyone really against the spellcrafting. It's just a reality it's not a priority for Zos ATM, and for awhile. The earliest we can expect it is a year from now.

Further, Zos isn't going to say much until they have something to say.

The expansion is way overpriced in my opinion though i don't agree with the cry babies its a DLC. its just not worth 40$ its more like 25$. one trial is bs no new dungeons is bs and the fact that they have not fixed or expanded on the CP system is more bs.sorry but this team has failed to deliver.Games usually drop a race, class, new dungeons, expanded tree in the AA system and two raids as well as all the face roll solo content ZOS keeps pumping out and charging 15 bucks for. Jesus even small start-up studios like trion did far better with rift, they gave more content with their sub in the first year then zos charged for in two. sorry, but from my experience, ESO is just turning on the milk machine and not taking the MMO part of this game serious at all.

I double the notion that it will be the update after morrowind. After the housing update there was data-mined information about 1 hand and rune, spell crafting furniture too. It seems to me that the skill balancing updates and the new skills introduced by the Warden is a preparation(or evidence they are comfortable enough now to add so many new skills) for the introduction of this system.

I'm very curious how they will compensate for stamina characters with such an update but I don't see it to be very difficult to manage; could be the reason its taken so long is that they are making a stamina equivalent of spell crafting (feat crafting?). They planned to connect spell crafting to the mages guild so why not make stamina skill crafting in the fighters guild?

I will never understand people like you that say stuff like the game didn't improve over the last 4 years, but still keep playing.

Why are you wasting your time playing a game you complain about?
