    Without bais or with it?

    First ... appericative the efforts it takes attempt balance. So much data to have anaylze then hope people understand your attention.

    Send out good apolstles to listen people worries and issues. Distract people from focusing one ascept of gameplay with more options or inncentives. It's less of issue if less people are focusing on it. Set parameters for each class to reach at high end, middle, and low in in regards to dps for each class. Never tell such parameters but reevaluate performance according. Check on minorities that intensify diversity. See how they compare but be more lenient if they exceed performance till population goes up.

    With bias now

    Make bound aegies better skill
    Dark deal easier to use
    Add a trial group finder cause I rather to randoms instead of formal groups.
    Fix alliance war activity finder
    Add deer back into cydrolli just cause
    Add necromancers that use dead player bodies
    Add more warefare items to buy like traps and such
    Make defending worthwhile activity
    Add player homes in cydrolli
    Add activity finder activity for each zone.
    Add emote wheel that also can hold mentento
    Add more ways guilds can trial players
    Just making guild able to use or set a house as guild house for forever. Make it a gold sink
    Add more housing slots in crown store at small increments
    Add wayshires for houses in game and crien store. It will promote people buying housing and using them.
    Quality of life update for guilds
    100 friend slots
    Battle icons in guild roster so I know if you are a tank or dps...or healer ( though this what I do)
    Add a preium subscripti includes a year, free chapter and loyatly rewards all at higher price. Make the suits happy and a counter arugement for people.
    Duel arena with zone like leadboards that's streamed on zos website with commentary and adds. This brings game into esports and bigger audience. Everyone...I many many people like fights

    New items to be collected but only doing certain activity.
    Eso TV with fashion, news, battle corner and updates on Ruby throne.

    Outfits for merchant and banker cause easy resale

    Minigames in each zone and inn to compete for small prizes. Simple games to pass time or compete with friends like Mario party.

    Farming , pet raising or more like cattle,
    Painting and book making to be sold. Maybe even turn best one into beshada store.

    Virtual reality tourism and dates cause I read too much fiction and seems like a good business.

    Rare boss spawns that only happen so many times week.

    Areas where can't use soul gems and must wayshire.

    6 man trials

    And most of all!
    More mudball like mententos

    Hmmm. That actually WOULD have been a good idea if it were that way from launch. Like the ability to choose skill trees similar to RIFT.

    Maybe just sort the skill trees out differently though such major move sounds hard to implement. Might be easier though in future for development.

    Also remove the cap for non subs. Its just kinda silly to try and sell me a 50.00$ USD house and then tell me that I can only hold 1/2 the items anyway.

    For dps balance

    One time consubles that do damage enough for people have another way to complete dungeons though low spec kinda of things. Also material grind from some sort of quest in multiple zones.

    This could simple pitfalls, or small bomb like objects.

    This adds replayability in many areas and dimished group finder issues.

    More synergies be for same reason...but clearly I am biased here but in my defense would like more group be play options.

    Add 2 class people can aquire...like necromancers, lorekeepers, city guard

    Add more to fishing... would it be fun get a boss a belly ach.

    Make cydrolli more dynamic reward for claiming the keep and defending it. Maybe let them decorate the keeps.

    So very bias but fun to express ideas.

    Balancing classes? Here, very biased opinion.

    DK
    • revert morrowind sustain changes
    • make changes to how DK's class DoTs work so purging them make next application of these stronger
    • make standard of might deal increasing damage every second
    • give whip a stamina morph with poison damage, every next whip would deal more damage
    • give leap another mechanics, so when u use it against enemy you have your class DoTs applied on these would tick 2x faster
    NB
    • give dark cloak a second mechanics, so it would remove one negative effect every 10 seconds
    • make shade non target skill
    • make bolstering darkness expand like turvokun or however is that new set called
    • make cloak fatigue so any cloak cast in 3 seconds after another would cost 10% more and so on
    • make killing with any assassination skill heal NB for 15% of its max HP
    Sorc
    • recasting same type of shield in 3 seconds would have fatigue same as streak.
    • twilight would have a ward that would prevent this pet from dying once every 2 minutes, healing it back and giving sorc major mending for 5 seconds
    • frags would gain snare component for 30%
    • hurricane and boundless storm would give sorc next attack empower if let expire for 10 seconds
    • make overload channel cost half the ultimate
    Temp
    • give back this class major mending
    • give back stun to shards
    • casting beam would cost more if spammed, 3 sec cooldown between the two
    • hasty prayer would give 3 sec major expedition
    • focus would be an aura cast on self and not ground based effect
    War
    • When having frost cloak on any melee attack would deal 200 damage to attacker and snare him for 25%
    • give 3% physical damage boost
    • after kill, gain minor mending for 5 sec
    • standing inside frozen gate gives you 8% cheaper blocking and 8% more damage blocked
    • gripping shards give minor maim to enemies hit for 5 seconds

    Hypothetical: You just became a developer for ZeniMax Bethesda. You're in the drivers seat for all class changes and adjustments going forward into the Summerset Chapter.

    How would you fix the game? What would you do?

    First thing I would do would to finally make 2H weapons count as 2 pc bonus to open up more playstyles.

    Well, I'd design the login awards to be 97% useless junk consumables, exact percentages may vary.

    I'd copy the Asylum Sanctorium "mini-trial" design for the new Cloudrest trial. It'll be bigger and better, I promise.

    And I'd put jewelry crafting behind a paywall.

    Wait. *pinches myself* Oh, okay. It was all a bad dream. I'm not a ZOS developer. I didn't do any of that.

    Put light attacks on the same global cooldown as skills. Light attack weaving is the most unintuitive "feature" this game has to offer, and creates an unnecessary obstacle for new players.

    "Warden more Ice less green. Less access to buffs. Removal of stamina heal"


    NO, NO, NO..Warden should be a hell of a lot more green and less ice. Where they thought ice even fit into a nature themed class is beyond me. They should have saved that for the necromancer or some other ice themed skill line.

    Growing Swarm: Ability just keeps spreading and each jump returns x magicka. its really weak atm for all morphs of swarm though.

    Arctic wind: This is a tricky one, its a strong self heal but the skill name and what it does makes no sense. The ability is reworked to send out a slow moving AoE blast of arctic wind (line skill) that scales of your magicka. enemies inside the blast are snared. One morph will widen the AoE and the other will increase the strength of the snare.

    There is more I'd do but this is already a lot to read.

    I'd agree growing swarm needs a buff.

    Perhaps keep the heal on artic wind and also give it a cone knockback effect with chill..

    Since CP passives are currently only counted on the whole numbers of the percentage, I would simplify that even more: Change each CP passive to 5 levels only. (As one example, Healing Received would be 3%, 6%, 9%, 12%, and 15%.)

    The cost of each would go up per level. Spend 4 CP for the first. Save 10 more to get the second, 18 more for the third, 28 more for the fourth, and finally 40 for the last bump. That would be a possible way to break them down and keep 100 points for the maxing out of the passive.

    1. Revert the sustain and resource nerfs from Morrowind since a lot of good long term players left
    2. Retool most skills in the game mostly sorc and DK ie go skill by skill and try to make morphs useful
    2. Do more reskinning of mounts because we don't have enough different colored Senche Mounts
    3. Profit
