Idea to bring lots of old players back

Calboy · February 2018

Dedicate an entire patch to reviewing and updating every ability and set in the game and maybe reviewing the way damage is scaled to allow a more hybrid play style. So many useless abilities, morphs and sets. I want to see sorcerers cursing opponents while swinging a huge mace into the head.

...or just fix the lag. I crashed 4 times in about 15 minutes trying to pvp yesterday. It made me eject ESO and start playing GTA instead. Very frustrating and causes players to quit.

Gold event if ZoS open the door of Loot, Booty and that special RUM of the Jackpot GOLD.

Cadbury · February 2018

In other words, turn ESO into another game.

"We've reverted all changes made to combat, skills and the Champion Point System since Patch 1.5, and will now completely separate changes made for PvP balancing, and changes made for PvE balancing from one another."

TBONE_OG · February 2018

Balance PvE and Pvp separately.

So, like a stam sorc with a maul? Replace the maul with a greataxe and you've got a pretty common PVP build. Stam Sorc with Mage's Fury for a finisher is pretty beastly in overland content too - not a meta build, sure, but not going to have any issues with overland content.

An update of spells and animations would go a long way, especially animations they need a lot more smoothing out

Smmokkee · February 2018

Server optimization is the only thing.

GOD ZOS fix the darn disco's and the stupid lag, or at least punish the EP and DC for cause'ng most of the issue's for exploiting so much

If you want to bring people back

1. Remove the crown store
2. Let people buy items directly with real cash in a shopping cart
3. Remove ESO Plus (sale dlc and features per item 2)
4. Seperate PvP from PvE (literally offer two diff game modes)
5. Don’t balance, but make the two game types fun within their own
6. Remove content update timelines and instead address issues. Then release content AFTER things work
7. Release all platform updates the same week (not necessarily the same day)
8. Edit - Offer Endgame content that isn’t bugged and that can’t be cheated through
9. Fix the existing activity finder and extend a working version to trials, zones, doleman, world bosses
10. Take immediate action on artwork and lore feedback concerns.
11. Stop pricing artwork and cosmetics/housing items above your DLC and game
12. Hire a QnA team and use the process not just game testers for trials.
13. Actually ban people for cheating
14. Actually take action and remove botting
15. Bring the UI for PC to consoles and offer an ingame add-on option for all platforms through an internal add-on publishing process
16. Overhaul guild options/offering
17. Overhaul crafting/gathering
18. Align materials with One Tamriel
19. Remove scaling
20. Remove VR/CP, whatever (everything doesn’t need its own level)

Make riding skill account-wide. Noone wants to level a crippled character whose horse is slower than a wheelchair.

i think a muffin basket might tempt some old players back. Everyone likes muffins.

If you balance them separately, you end up with a WoW situation where you have two very different sets of gear and people running around doing dungeons in pvp gear/pvp specced, and then others pvping in dungeon gear/dungeon specced.

The game should be balanced for PVP, not PVE. Instead:

1) Balance the game for PVP.
2) Adjust PVE on the mob side, where it causes issues with pvp balanced characters.

Its way easier that way.

he's not wrong though. so many useless abilities.

ccfeeling · February 2018

Remove class system , let the player pick the skills themselves .
Race only for outlook , passive can be chosen as well .
Yup , what I mean is turn into skill tree system .
It's the best way to balance for a game developer .

Hire a new IT team , start to fix the lag issues from now

To many that are used by to multiple builds as well. Its almost like fighting your doppelganger sometimes, just in a different outfit.

This would be interesting, but hard to say how it would turn out.

Stovahkiin · February 2018

Fix the lag and put some effort into improving pvp. (Last time Cyrodiil got a major update was capturable towns.. yeah).

Would have been nice if they had handled One Tamriel differently too, but it’s obv too late to change what happened there.

MLGProPlayer · February 2018

Another veiled hybrid thread. Nothing to see here.

He's not, but I don't see ZOS suddenly pulling a complete 180 anytime soon.

Blueberry muffins or no deal.

FloppyTouch · February 2018

Lag that is all that is needed nothing fancy or huge DLC “chapter” just fix the damn game and people will come back

LadyNalcarya · February 2018

Yeah yeah, who cares about poor optimization, potato servers, lack of balance, lack of endgame content, etc... Everyone just wants to be an all-mighty Dovakhiin that can do everything.

Morgul667 · February 2018

Remove or Reduce lag drastically

Better idea: Revert the changes that came with Morrowind, which ran a ton of them off by themselves.
