My requests for ESO.

RPGplayer13579 · August 2017

Here are a my ideas to improve ESO. A lot of these ideas deal with the houses as they are expensive and yet don't do very much.

1. For Homestead. Mannequins for different armor sets. And weapon racks for the weapons. So you can show off different styles a player can craft, or store them so you can switch depending on what you want to do. Such as P v P, P v E, thieving, or dungeons.

2. Two new weapon skill lines. Unarmed and One Handed. One handed is where a player uses a weapon in one hand and leave the other hand empty. One bonus could be that magic attacks work better. Unarmed can give bonuses to either brawlers or mages.

3. Being able to marry any available NPC. Some would need major requirements, like Queen Ayrenn. Others would be easier. Connected to this would be a follower like a Pawn from Dragon's Dogma. This idea is for players, like myself, who can only play ESO at a random schedule due to work.

4. Storage at the house we can buy. With chests, barrels, crates, cupboards, drawers, etc. Storage! At least I am not asking for being able to adopt children. For none exist, why is that? Maybe make a quest of this? Someone took them to keep the children safe. Maybe a Daedric Prince?

5. New quests for the Fighters Guild, Mages Guild, and later the Thieves Guild and then the Dark Brotherhood. Also bring back guild ranks.

6. Being able to craft rings and amulets. From iron to rubedite. Anywhere there is a place to do some blacksmithing.

1. it would be nice to be able to decorate our homes with armor and weapons we have accumulated though it is clear Zos does not intend to add inventory space in this manner.
2. I would not be surprised if weapon lines are added in a future chapter like the new class was added this year.
3. I do not see the point of marring a random NPC, but can say for sure we will never be able to marry Queen Ayrenn as it would belittle the story line.
4. Best chance for storage added to homes is something that would be like the bank or personal inventory. Maybe buy something or craft something via master vouchers (or something) that has 10 slots and each additional 10 slots cost additional money, gold or whatever. It would be logical any storage added would likely follow the same pattern we have already. Though it is highly doubtful it will come soon due to the double bank space for subs. Do not know what to say about the children part. Does fit and seems odd.
5. Zos added new quests for the original three guilds last year. Really just little stuff and it is clear new meaningful quests will only come with DLC/expansions. Anything added to the guilds via either means would need to fit the DLC storyline somehow.
6. Jewelry crafting will be added next to never. The devs even suggested they would add it. That was over 3 years ago. We can always hope.

Marrying NPCs? Some players need to get out more

!

RPGplayer13579 · August 2017

I will admit that I am a big fan of Skyrim and I am trying to drag as much of it here into this game as I can. Because who knows when Elder Scrolls VI will be made.

As to storage and marrying NPCs, I would like there to be a purpose for these houses besides showing off to other players how much money has been spent, real or in game. These houses don't help me as a player or any of my 6 characters. Like a well rested bonus from Skyrim. And how about some quests connected to these houses. At least some of the larger ones.

And jewelry crafting is so that I can equip two full sets of crafted gear. One can dream. Then maybe I will live long enough to complete a quest in the Imperial City.

And Tandor, you have no idea how close to the truth your comment is.

3: This would be largely pointless. Most of the NPCs look the same and it would be horribly implemented and repetitive like in Skyrim.

5. Not a bad idea, but they really need to do more with Vampires and Werewolves first. Maybe like a Vampire Clan and Werewolf Pack that function like guilds.

Zos specifically stated they were building a TES themed MMO, but not multi player TES game. The difference is something that work in a single player game do not work well in an MMO. They have done a great job bringing in much of the atmosphere, but someone looking for a multi player Skyrim will certainly find the game different.

Using your example of marriage. There is already a Ritual of Mara and Rings of Mara, but here the marriage is between players and the ring then provides an XP bonus when worn and the two players are questing together. Further, how many players can marry the same NPC. I am not sure if Polygamy is permitted in Tamriel (yes, I am aware of mods for skyrim, but they are merely mods).

RPGplayer13579 · August 2017

The reason why I haven't used the Ritual of Mara is because of my availability to play this game changes each week due to my job. That's the main reason I suggested this.

A companion like a Pawn from Dragon's Dogma. Or a follower from Skyrim, but smarter. This idea is for players, like myself, who can only play ESO at a random schedule due to work.

1. Probably not, they want bank space to be limited so it inspires ESO+. Perfectly reasonable of them to provide advantages like that, this would make ESO+ less lucrative. I have said before that it would be good for an armory for crafted items working like this.
a. The player needs to complete the master writ to unlock the item.
b. The 'unlocking' means it is accessible from a menu similar to champion points.
c. If the writ is completed, the player can only withdraw it from a certain player house that is required for that set. This would require the houses to undergo a slight renovation for an armory room that updates as more items are unlocked (either purchased or introduced via patch).
d. The unlock is account wide, multiple toons can wear it at once.
e. If a writ only asks for 'Epic' grade, only Epic unlocks, but they can improve it with Tempers.
f. When you complete a master writ that writ with that particular motif is dropped from the loot table, thousands of combinations of items and their traits all having one a different motif, with motifs constantly added, it'll take a very long time to complete them all, and likely more content will be added and more motifs etc. If anyone does complete them all, then it just defaults to any motif / trait / item.
g. Would be good if any Training trait item unlocked had no level requirement, so it actually has value.
h. Master writ items are max CP at all times except Training. So cash in a CP150 item, and the unlocked version will by Max CP.
i. All Master Writs come in Epic with the option for Legendary (for more vouchers). Epic if you just want to unlock it, Legendary for vouchers. Epic will result in an Epic version being unlocked which can later be upgraded, Legendary will result in a Legendary version being unlocked.

That way, it won't divert bank space quickly, it will need to be crafted as per writ. Earned, and people will hunt down particular writs. It will also give master writs more value. Would be great if this was done, for it to be done retrospectively.

2. One hand - seems doubtful for any viable build. Leaving a slot empty means one less item for sets, furthermore, 1 handed weapons do much less damage / trait bonus / enchant bonus than their 2 hd counterparts. Unarmed - It wouldn't technically be unarmed, but perhaps knuckle dusters, or something of the sort to take up the weapon slot for set bonuses.

3. Meh

4. See the first part of 1 as to why additional storage space is very unlikely.

5. I suspect we'll see more in future DLC, or at least have DLC heavily influenced by the guilds.

6. I think the charm of crafted sets is there is no rings, if they were craftable, there would be even less drive to farm dungeons than there already is. Run a crafted set, and a found set seems pretty good balance.

So, for a bit of context, here are the houses I am planning to buy whether or not ESO takes all, some, or none of my ideas for the housing centered ideas on my wish list. And they are:

Daggerfall Overlook for my Breton and Imperial characters.

Amaya Lake Lodge for my Dunmer and Nord characters.

Mathiisen Manor for my Bosmer and Altmer characters.

And I have the crowns necessary to buy all three. Thanks to the crown sale on now. Am I an idiot, maybe.

RPGplayer13579 · August 2017

For now I will sit on the Crowns I have and wait.

Morgul667 · August 2017

Places to put your equipment sets

An assistant that can run to a crafting station and decraft things for you without having to leave the dungeon

Music you can choose and play in your houses

Free for all PVP in your house (toggle button by home owner)

Active cyrodill map furniture to see your house HQ style

humanoids you can put in your house and drink from to reduce your vampire stage

Additional alliance skills

Lirkin · August 2017

Have a lot of the addins incorporated into the client and improve some items like the indicator for theiving should show time left not just an indicator that is not clear.

RPGplayer13579 · September 2017

New idea. If we can put all of our horses at our house, why not our characters? For players with more then one character/avatar, place them in the house and maybe assign them a task to pretend to do. Cooking, reading, drinking, training, whatever.

Runschei · September 2017

Interesting.

I would love a skin or option to hide vampirism.

Not sure if you are trying to incentivise ZOS here or not, if you are I hope you realise that they already have your money so you sitting on your crowns will not matter a jot.

RPGplayer13579 · September 2017

Your probably right. My only thought is that if they give me what I want then I would spend these crowns on the houses and then I would have to buy more crowns to buy DLC that is along the lines of Wrothgar, Dark Brotherhood, Thieves Guild.

If I save my crowns then I may not need to buy any more for a couple of years.
