ZOS can you please expand the weapon system.

Evan8642 · July 2017

Staves - Earth staff, Dark staff, Light staff, Wind staff.

Bows - Cross bow, Long bow.

Hand-to-Hand (if you decide to not wear any weapons you can already use hand to hand, ADD A SKILL TREE)

Consumable throwing weapons

Right now things are and have been pretty boring end game-wise for quite some time. Once you have all the trial armor / weapons and your finished leveling up in pvp, and you have 9 traits on everything and 4000 veteran dungeons later what else is there left to do in the game? at least consider raising the cap on weapons from 50 to 500 or something ,

Off topic; can we get some other type of in-game mini-game like a trading card system / battle. I would love to use soul trap ability to capture a creature and put them on a card and vs someone else, or raise a dragon from an egg and then eventually you can ride him and he can double jump.

I'd love to have new weapons and types. As it is now, there isn't really very much to choose from at all once you actually start to understand how the game works.

Personally, I'd like to just be able to use a sword in one hand for dps without having anything in my off hand. It kind of sucks that you can only use swords (or other 1h weapons) if you're going to tank.

blnchk · July 2017

Good grief, not even more staves.

phermitgb · July 2017

SPEARS!!!...why no love for the spears...

scipionumatia · July 2017

I'd like to see crossbows and spears

phermitgb · July 2017

Nothing son, now it's time to go and get a life

bloodthirstyvampire · July 2017

We have a dawnguard crossbow already

Evan8642 · July 2017

I would totally love for them to incorporate a card battle game in-game, or even a pet vs pet system of some type

mb10 · July 2017

Those staves have never existed in TES so go play a different game for that mate

Crossbows kinda exist with the skill in the fighters guild skill line

Throwing weapons exist in certain skills too like the one in dual wield

dusk194 · July 2017

I would like a magica tank set and a magica dual weild set... magic dps has 1 intended weapon. 1!

Yes i dual weild for my back bar on my mDK, but i only use the last passive and ignore all the other skills. Same with SnB, 2-3 selections and nothing else because almost every weapon is aimed at stamina. Destro is nice as it has 3 elements, but variety would be nice. I don't want a fairy wand, but one handed options like a spell blade would be a welcome addition

Now i could care less about a mini-game. There arw too many other things that need a fix or to be balanced first.

X3ina · July 2017

I bet you people have no real life, because you have time to even think about grinding all that stuff in good traits ...

Yep we need spears! They've been in previous Elder scrolls games and we need them here.

MLGProPlayer · July 2017

Please don't. The game is already hard enough to balance as is. They don't need more variables to balance.

On the one hand this would be a super cool idea. On the other hand, the rng system with the obviously weighted traits and no token system in sight means this being implemented would be an absolute nightmare for gear farming. That vMA grind would have even more awful drops, dungeons and trials would get boring quickly, and it would further discourage people from going for the BiS gear for their role/class. If there was a legitimate token system in place, then yeah I would say to go for it, but not with the loot table being so out of whack and everything being BoP.

SoLooney · July 2017

Good grief no thanks to new weapons, I dont need possibly more trash added to the loot table. Getting a specific weapon is gonna be already more atrocious than it is now. Final bosses in dungeons and trials are already disappointing when you want a weapon and instead, get a stupid piece of jewelry for the millionth time. weapons are fine the way they are

...are a bad idea. I mean, really, if arrows are not consumables, why should throwing daggers or such be?

If anything, we could get consumable "special attack items" from the quickslot... stuff like alchemical grenades (just add a third solvent for air burst effect) or enchanted bombs (fireball in a nutshell... no, literally, that's what we used to enchant with it!) or summoning stones (drop for summoming storm atronatch - do not use while standing in water!) or whatever...

For the weapons, well... my thoughts are the same as they were back then: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/259011/additional-weapon-skill-ideas/p1

Dual wield magicka weapons and a single hand + defensive magicka weapon set is in order.

Too much work for them.

Greatswords aka 2 handers dont even off more range. That would require work.

Underwater combat?
Oh lordy, only the BEST OF THE BEST OF THE BEST MMORPGs can pull off the Underwater combat.
GW2 tried yet FAILED
ESO never attempted, they looked at the challenge and said to themselves, those game developers back in days, even with limited technology, aliens must have helped them out, theres no possible way to do that kind of coding.

Those MMORPGs.
EVERQUEST
WORLD OF WARCRAFT

OVER 10 YEARS OLD. Yet still have the bar so high, no one DARES to even attempt.

Borvath · July 2017

I wish there were spellbooks as a offhand weapon (like a shield). It would have three types (like destruction staff or one/two handed weapons), they would be tome of alteration (defensive magic for magicka tanks, it would conjure a barrier in font of you when you block), tome of illusion (for cc and invisibility) and tome of conjuration (for summoning stuff or replacing your mainhand weapon with bound weapons that deals magic damage). Destruction and restoration are alredy tied to weapon type, with these we would have all of The Mage skill lines from Skyrim.
