Quality of Life Changes Discussion

Haven't seen a thread like this in a while, so I wanted to add my own thoughts and hear some of yours on quality of life changes.

Here are some of mine.

Quality of life changes:

More living, breathing environment. Create unique events that can randomly happen in each zone. Take what's currently there, with the small scale bandit attacks, or people calling for help to lure you in, and create a more detailed event. Make new events in similar fashion across the zones making them zone specific, themed, etc. Maybe have mini siege events in zones ravaged by war.

Continue to flesh out npc interactions. Have them talk to each other more, walk across town, visit a friend in a neighboring town etc.

Add an animation for armor and clothing for just getting out of water/raining, dripping water, darkened clothes, water glisten on armor

Less awkward 2 hand animation for light and heavy attacks

Improved animation for Frost staff

Add mini games such as cards, dice games, drinking games, fist fights in a tavern, archery shooting targets, throwing daggers at targets.

Add more rumors to innkeeper dialogue!!!

These are just a few I can think of. What would you guys like to see?

    Fixing lag would definitely be the first thing I'd like to see addressed. Issues like not being able to bar swap, use skills/potions, slow motion, random load screens, mount slowdowns, blue screens, and disconnects to name a few.

    Next would be the ability to craft a predetermined amount of potions. Pressing a button 300 times for my weekly 1200 potion fix is not fun and probably not great for the controller either. (I know I have a potion problem)

    Last would be the ability to search in guild stores or at least be able to sort by a set name, recipe, motif, etc.

    I'm sure I could think of many more like jewelry crafting or cyrodil changes, but I'd rather see lag addressed before they change or add anything else in the game.

    For those on PC, I recommend multicraft
    http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info399-MultiCraft.html

    What I'd like to see is weapon dyeing, less random exclamations from NPCs, more interactive thieving and justice system (separate bounties for factions mostly), and holy hell give me more space in my house, also storage in housing. Is that too much to ask
  • RavenSworn

    Wow ok where do I start?

    1- weapon dyes

    2- ability to attack a player that has just committed murder within the confines of the town area.

    3- guards are much easily killed, with players able to assist the guards

    4- separate PvP and pve gear sets and make them exclusive to each other. So you can only wear PvP gear in PvP zones, pve gear in pve zones. Zones such as IC should be an outlier and not repeated again.

    5- more storage in housing, working much like mounts. Maybe add a proper bank instead of a banker.

    6- have more npc in the housing. Innkeepers, servants, drinkers... Etc. More life is needed in the houses.

    7- have frost staff be the "increased attack speed" theme for staff users. So fire is single target, lightning aoe, frost attack speed.

    8- increased the item limit for all houses.

    9- better guild ui and management tools. The current guild ui is... Horrendous.

    I do agree if we get the middle class tax cut, along with the corporate tax cut and the re-patriotation tax cut to return trillions from overseas, quality of life will improve for the better.

    Plus we will all have extra $$$ to buy a better game. Win win win

    A slider under the motif section to get rid of the current, and expanding, clickfest that it currently is. Also allow us to sort motifs by quantity of trait-stones or alphabetically too.

    Growable/pickable flowers and mushrooms for my house (even if they could only grow in a special furniture container 'purchased' via the writ vender or crown store .. something that would 'grow' 20 random flowers that you could pick every 3 days (same thing for mushrooms))

    A fishable pond you I could place in my home. This could also be a special furniture item purchasable via the writ vendor or crown store (your pond would have 2 or 3 fishing spots and would be on the same spawn timer as the fishing spots found throughout Tamriel).

    While I already enjoy my home a lot, these would make it even more fun (while at the same time not adversely effecting the in-game economy)

    Also, I'm getting VERY tired of accidental thievery. Even when you try not to steal from a guild trader, merchant or writ turn-in depot, you may by accident.

    Obviously, there's the option to turn off autothieving. But that option is annoying when you WANT to steal.

    Better would be to have less stealable stuff right next to where you want to click on an NPC.

    On the PC there are such add-ons, and I certainly use one. But what about console players?

    1. The ability to do daily writs with one button push...as long as you have the mats...

    2. Stacking treasure maps...

    3. Stacking forward camps...

    4. Searchable guild traders...

    I'm sure there are more....but these are right off the top of my head...

    A better inventory interface.

    Trying to scroll my bank is getting PAINFUL, and I'm not even trying to sound funny.

    Why not have different pages with icon slots for different items types?

    By far the most important QoL change for me would be the ability respec one skill at a time.

    It's beyond tiresome to have to redo every morph of every skill just because I want to change from Flawless Dawnbreaker to Dawnbreaker of Smiting so I can go into PVP.

    QoL Improvements I am sure a lot of people want :smile:
    1. Field respec options, instead of having to go to the shrine at all times.
    2. Field Mundus stone totems - Be able to change mundus stones in the field for a contribution to the gods, limited between 2 stones.
    3. Lower Cost of redistributing CP's.
    4. In Game improvements to Crafting, like Multicraft and Potionmaker and Traitbuddy
    5. Search Engine for Guild Stores
    6. Remove the limitation to /stuck, it is infuriating getting stuck, only to be launched into the same spot, and then not being able to try again.
    7. Increase the ammount of things you can send in mail, and the amount of items you can trade between characters.
    8. Mini games would be a nice addition
    9. Respec options per skill, or skill tree.

    I could think of more, but those are absolutely essential and should be added asap.

    1 quality of life improvement that comes to my mind concerns newer/low lvl players could be adding some simple jobs that aren't really quests but you could do them for gold.

    Like chopping firewood for inns, collecting some items and get paid for that and you could do them as long as you like. This way players that have no much knowledge of game, could get gold for their first gear, and get things rolling. I think this would be needed as it can be confusing at first and you'r not sure how to get money.

    1. All recipes that are level 1 - 50 are synced to each toon, so that new toons actually end up making their own food. I'd argue may as well go full hog to CP140 and all but the top recipes should be sync'd given the same problem would exist.
    2. Known recipes that are account wide should probably not drop again once the account has found it or be very rare to find again so the market doesn't flood.
    3. Lore books, non quest, non motif, non skill also sync. Go to a 'memory fountain' on the mage island to 'upload' your lore books to it, where other toons can 'download' them.
    4. Any purchased motif with crowns should be unlocked to the account.
    5. Have the housing quest a once only quest, have all housing quests sync account wide. (save for a few ie training dummy).
    6. Armories - https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/370897/is-this-game-slowing-down-get-people-back-on/p1 - because this game has no real end game, and you will run out of things to do.
    7. PVP bag for all PVP related items.

    People wanting mini games ... would be cool if they integrated The Elder Scrolls Legends into the game in the taverns. Would need a bethnet account paired with your ESO account though. They could prob do addons through beth.net too.

    Less lag/ performance issues would certainly be nice. I'd like to see Varlariel's clones and certain trial spawns with limited delay, not after they're nearly/already dead. Being able to actually see other players/abilities at outpost fights and use my siege after setting it up would also be swell.

    Jewelrycrafting would absolutely be nice.

    So would the ability to hide vampirism while still having our normal appearance (no strange skins or unappealing disguises). Appearance isn't a stat that affects actual gameplay, so I've never understood why folks are so deadset on dictating how others should look, particularly if they made vampirism display an icon in the buff area (maybe something obvious like a bat or somesuch) so folks in PvP could still know at a glance "Oh hey, this person's a vamp and weak to fire. Burn, vile creature!"

    What I'd like most (or at least as much as performance fixes) is the ability to reset just one tree's morphs. If I want to change between petsorc and non-petsorc, the only morph I actually need to change is prey to curse. But, because of how the system is, I also need to re-allocate another 10-15+ other morphs. Every. Single. Time.

    But please, leave my thieving/killing alone. I didn't buy DB/Thieves Guild so I could be harrassed by people who dislike my making money or relieving stress without even harming them in any way. I did it so I could steal and kill and participate in the content wherever I want (even in major cities like Mournhold, dagnabbit) without being griefed or having it become some stupid PvP-in-PvE experience that I'd go to Cyro if I actually wanted.

    - Make gear have an option to "Inspect". Basically right click on any piece of gear, hit inspect, then a window in game pops up (just like the dye station window) showing what your toon would look like wearing said gear piece.
    - When looking at a piece of gear (crafting, left clicking on a linked piece, or just mouse hovering over top) please make the picture like 5 times larger, literally. My eyes are not that bad, but I am damn tired of not being able to see what gear actually looks like until its equipped.
    - Double the size of the friends list, 100 isn't very "massive" for an "MMO".
    - Add more options for respeccing skills. Just every skill or every morph is waaaaaaay to generic. Should be an option to pick a few skills that you want to drop and get the points back from. This becomes even more important when you get to 350+ skill points.
    - HAVE AN AUTO CHARGE/REPAIR OPTION! With adjustable % options obviously. Should not need an addon for this.
    - Make crafting bags accessible in a trade window.
    - HOW COME MOBS FOLLOW YOU FOR LIKE 400 YARDS, WHILE STILL ABLE TO ATTACK YOU THE WHOLE TIME, then as soon as you shoot them once with a bow they run back to their spawning point... IMO whatever the distance is where you attacking them causes them to disengage and run back to their spawning point, should also be the distance they stop running after you... Yea I caps locked that, what you gonna do about it.
    - ACHIEVEMENT POINTS LEADERBOARD.

    Something else I'd like to see in the future is hopefully more dark brotherhood sanctuaries. A continuation of mages and fighters guild quests, and same with thieves guild. Given the world is so large, it feels weird that these guilds don't have a bigger part in things. With the exception of the cold harbor, none of these guilds continue that interaction.

    Most of the improvements I want are already in addons, and I'd like them in the base game.

    - All the options in No Thank You, especially not spinning the char in menus, and turning even more system toasts & crafting toasts into chat messages would be lovely. I don't need to see quests float past my view 1 per 2 seconds.
    - Advanced Filters for UI management.
    - Awesome Guild Store for store searching; I know ZOS improved the base game a bit, but it's still terrible.
    - Votan's Fisherman is kind of a minimum competent UI for fishing. I'd really like to see fishing made more interesting, with different rods, bait, specialized gear/jewelry/enchants, an active fishing battle, and so on, but I'd settle for "louder personal sound on hook", so when you're at a group fishing spot you don't hit the button on someone else's bobber going up. Hissmir Fish-Eye Rye is one little step that way.
    - Every crafting station should you set a number to produce and walk away. And filleting fish should continue until there are no more fish to fillet, as in Votan's Fish Fillet.
