Expansions bring on major changes to the game, more so than most DLC's will do. Morrowind brought us a new class, the Warden, and Battlegrounds. Summerset is bringing on a major crafting tree with Jewelry Crafting. For certain the next expansion that comes after will also have possible game changing features, what do you think they will be?

    Vampire Lord (Magicka) and Werebear (Stamina) - Tank oriented
    out of the options, werebear gets my vote. Would frigging love that for my warden (or even just a fixed werewolf that doesnt unshift after 30 seconds, make it permanent already zos!)

    Otherwise, though, what I'm still hoping for in the long run:
    -Crossbows
    -Polearms/Spears
    -Elsweyr
    -New subspecies options for khajiit (Cathay-raht for my templar and warden, dagi-raht for my nightblade and dragonknight, tojay or suthay for my sorceror), just for some appearance variety. Even better if each subspecies of khajiit gets the proper racial benefits (physical/warrior traits for cathay, spellcasting traits for dagi, stealth traits for suthay)

    I took the PvP option because that's what's really missing. Battlegrounds but not Arena style with 4 man groups. 12vs12vs12 in larger battleground maps would be amazing.

    And I am still hoping for Spellcrafting. If not later this year as a DLC feature then next year as THE feature of Chapter III.

    Class and skill balance that actually includes balance, instead of just shifting power around from one class and spec to the other. And skill changes that actually makes skills fun and engaging to use again. Less numbers. Everything is numbers these days, from skills to gear to CP to everything. Less numbers, more fun.

    And while we're at it, less MMO grindy feel, and more RPG please. Continue down the path of cookie cutter MMO, and you'll be sure to lose me down the road eventually. Less MMO, more online RPG. Back to the roots of the game, basically.

    Other: a skill based system which allows us players to specifically decide if we want the spell magicka or stamina based.

    It bugs me to no end the majority of decent NB skills require magicka when our entire weapon catalogue is melee based.

    The few we can convert are okay, but why can't all the skills be morphed to stamina?

    Spellcrafting and moving away from classes entirely. Let people mix and match and create their own skills.
    Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 10 years. 7 paid expansions. 22 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the vast majority of this game.

    A rework on magicka/stamina to allow for hybrid builds. The Battlemage archetype is lacking in this game. Buffing/reworking old sets, to give us more options and gear to hunt. 1H + spell weapon.

    WoW revamped all the classes completely and they're now more fun/diverse than ever. Probably never gonna happen in ESO, since it requires a huge rework on all the abilities + sets and I don't know if Zeni is willing/able to pour resources for this, but one can dream.

    I'm disappointed that Summerset won't add anything new to PVP( so it seems, to Alliance war, cyrodiil).
    The Alliance War should be developed and not abandoned.

    I hope that ZOS will add new base game features to PVP-Alliance War(even before the next chapter/expansion after Summerset), like the following:
    1. Additional Alliance war leaderboard that is influenced by helping the alliance to achieve certain goals with much success(rather than the old alliance points farming), like escorting a scroll, having great KDR while capturing keeps/outposts etc.(doesn't include executions and it will count per unique kills-different players so it won't be exploited).

    2. Greater rewards for participating in the Alliance War, including: much more gold and useful items in the rewards of the worthy and more.

    3. More Alliance ranks & special rewards for existing and future Alliance ranks, up to rank 60(see some suggestions I made in this thread: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/4427280#Comment_4427280).

    4. Alliance leaders such as Queen Ayrenn should appear.

    5. Special alliance boss heroes that the AD/DC/EP needs to kill(difficulty similar to vet dungeon boss up to normal/vet trial boss).

    6. More combat locations: additional keeps/mega keeps(larger and stronger garrisons), Alliance Bosses buff locations(special Heroes that grant buff/s to alliance and must be killed, this is tied to suggestion #5 above).

    7. Special costumes/mounts/gear for completing of the more difficult Alliance War achievements(also tied to suggestion #3).

    8. A lot more. It will be TL;DR :)

    - Skinns for summons (warden and sorc)
    - in game minigames, solo and group (races, puzzles, jump puzzles, card/gamble games you name it)
    - big new zones with lots of quests
    - Fun craft line like tinkerer/artificer, make consumables with fun non combat effects, build dwemer toys and so on
    - adding more to fishing to make it a bit more interesting. Like a chance to fish up a treasure chest with rarer loot, catch prey that fights back, fishing related treasure maps, more housing items...
    - more housing item count and much needed item count saving basic housing items like prefab walls, stairs, floors and so on

    For the price of their "chapters" I would like to see an actual "expansion" worth of new features. Look at any of the other popular mainstream MMOs and an expansion will give multiple new zones, multiple new dungeons, new raids, possibly new class and so on.

    In ESO version of an expansion for the same dollar cost you get one zone a new feature such as battle grounds or jewel crafting and very little else.

    Best comparison would be Guild Wars 2. Both have an optional monthly subscription with ongoing updates through the year for new content. Yet their expansions are easily 10 times the size of an ESO subscription for the same dollar cost.

    I guess the answer to the OP is that for the next "chapter" I would like to see some real value vs a DLC with one special feature.

    Having played GW2, while the game itself is cheaper, the content you get is much smaller than ESO. No way you get 10 times more content - it's the other way around. They added 4-5 fractals(GW2's dungeons for other readers) in 4 years. ESO adds that amount in an year. Their story updates have 2h of playtime at best and the expansions themselves have ~7-8h of story. Morrowind easily has 25h and a normal DLC like DB has 7-8h. The new elite specializations that they add just replace the old ones. GW2 zones are also lacking in story and content - once you do events/hearths there isn't any reason to return, but people can still go for motifs/collections/dailies in ESO DLC zones.

    Having played most big MMOs, I know that ESO is more expensive, but it also delivers more content than the vast majority of MMOs, including GW2. WoW/FFXIV dish out more content than ESO, but at the same time they're much more expensive. I think it's pretty fair.

    My chosen option sounds nice in particular in connection with the Murkmire expansion, where three groups struggle in jungle and swamp labyrinths to gain some particular artifacts as a new PvP expansion.

    Besides of that, I would like the continuation of the mage's quest line with the long goal to obtain some sort of spellcrafting and make Eyevea more useful.

    Besides of Murkmire I would like to see the Redguard region, Skyrim and Elsweyr to finally have the most important regions of Tamriel under one roof. After that, well: Floating rocks in the sky, skyships, underwater world and diving; new worlds to explore. A continuation of the main story line etc.

    New animations for the game. They added inverse foot kinematics with Morrowind, which is really nice, though I think dynamic run/walk/sprint animations for going uphill/downhill would be really cool.
