Except comments targeted at me, to mock me... nothing good. You and I aren't playerbase, butt hurt, delusional, zos wants money, old and future players...... tf are these replies.....
Not even one has come with an idea. Just replies to insult or replies to say no. Tf is wrong with the ones that replied.


Back to the game. I don't see any balance issues. Being able to chose for the map to be unlocked for every char if one made it there..... I see it good. If I want something that others will use as well and doesn't break the game nor normality, why can't it be? Its like saying you don't want chocolate, parents buy chocolate, you see it in the fridge and go omnomnom. I see this behaviour all the time. People say no, mock, invent reasons to oppose. Later devs implement and everyone goes banzaai .

Maybe. But tell me. How many characters you have with all the skyshards and map 100% completed. Also you had to do this while having a full time job and a family. Or at least a full time job.

Yes. But why do you oppose so much map and skyshard sharing. Its not like you get them for free. You still work for them.

100% map and skyshard completion is a huge thing. A time investment. Its pure madness to assume that someone wishes to do that again 16 times. I understood about crafting motifs. Ok. Can't be done. But map and skyshard completion. Whats the issues. I bet many will usevthe map and skyshard completion. I saw that quests have choices so wanting that on all chars is unfair. But map and skyshards. Why not?

I don't mind the idea of some things being account wide, but it would need a cost, and generally speaking, no to motifs, they will lose value if they are account wide.



Sky shards:
If sky shards were account wide, new toons would start with so many skills they wouldn't know what to do with them.

I have no issue with the idea of buying skill line passives with sky shards account wide, so if (I cbf working out how many) it takes 50 shards of skills to fill up the blacksmithing line, to redeem 40 shards renders the tree permanently unlocked but you still need to level to 50 to get the perks.

Personally, I do not care if this happens or not. I can see this would be painful to implement too, what sky shards get taken off the world map? How does this effect the skills on your other toons? If a shard was taken off the map that another toon had, and it strips them of a skill point, but they had no spare skill points to deduct? It sounds like it could get messy.



Motifs:
There are many motifs out there that are of high value and should not be messed with. I think motifs purchased on Crown Store should be unlocked account wide though.

Some motifs that are garbage, anything that sells for less than 1,000 gold should have a rare special version that if found it unlocks it account wide AND drops it from the loot table entirely for the player, the player cannot ever see it again, it does not drop, it is dead to them. This should increase the value of the motif for others as there will be fewer sold. The rare special version only drops to a player that already has the motif and is account bound.

Unlocking the Undaunted chests and having an inventory full of garbage motifs worth next to nothing is ... well ... daunting.



Recipes:
All green recipes should be account wide, mostly because they are garbage. Secondly, because when starting a new toon nobody ever uses that toon to do provisioning, they use their main crafter. The main crafter a) has the recipe they want and b) can make bulk. If the new toon had access to those recipes, they would likely use them on the new toon to improve provisioning. Leveling provisioning is just spamming food production and destroying it, this is just not natural.

Sub CP150 recipes should also be account bound, save for unique recipes that are from events or quests.

Known green and Sub 150 recipes should be dropped from the loot table (except unique special event) when found and read. However, any unknown green and sub 150 recipe can drop regardless of player level.

Purple CP150 recipes should be harder to find and there should be no account wide 'special recipe'. The golden, purple and some blue CP150 recipes are the only items of value in provisioning that should never be account wide. Everything else is garbage.



Lore books:
Last I checked, the Mages, Fighters and Undaunted daily quest givers reward you with *** on a stick.

If however, they gave lore book unlocks, like 10 at random with a small chance one is a mage guild book, and an even smaller chance one is a skill book. Lorebooks that you have previously already found, including Mage guild (rare) and Skill books (very rare) then I'd do those daily quests.

The kicker is, the lore books found do not unlock account wide, it unlocks to any toon that has completed the Mages Guild quest line. So every toon still has to at least get to Level 5 in the Mages guild to benefit from it. For most toons, to get to level 5 on the mages guild they would have already found several skill books on their own.

Could even have a memory fountain or something that new toons can interact with on the Mages Guild island, if they activate it, then they sync found lore books. That way, players that want to make a toon and not sync do not have to.

Edit: Each daily quest guarantees 10 lore books that you have read but have not synced. With about 4,000 lore books in the game and climbing, that is 400 daily quests to do. Perhaps it should be 20 lore books per daily.



Conclusion:
I only support account wide things that in no way effect valuable items, or end game items. I don't want to see CP150 Blue/Purple/Golden recipes or high value motifs account wide. They are the items people farm for gold. I have no issue with account sync if the purpose it to clear out 30g recipes and 400g motifs from the guild stores. I think Lore books account wide would only be viable if they are earned beyond simply picking them up. Daily quests is a good way to do it.

I also can't bring myself to make another toon because of the work involved, but if you make it too simple, there won't be any value in making another toon.

There should be a middle ground.

Yes - it’s called ‘having an opinion which is not the same as yours’

I gave up on other things to be account shared besides skyshards and vanilla map markers. Please note. Speaking about lorebooks, crafting, quest, etc has no place here. Alse your personal opinions regarding zenimax hold them to yourself. Unless you are the owner of Bethesda or Zenimax you have no right to say what can/will be done. No one takes pleasure in reading a discouraging message just because you don't agree with the idea. I saw so many people opposing ideas for x reason and embracing them later on that it became natural to me to ignore such comments.

Yea. Also my guild mates showed me about motiffs and quests. Hence its natural for those to be character based. Regarding quests, a quest marker hide option would me quite welcomed but there is already a topic here somewhere about it.

Motifs I would be willing to accept. Learning all motifs across multiple toons (I'm a completionist) is going to be bank-breaking.

The rest is just part of what makes rolling a new toon worth it.

No, just no.
You have to explore and unlock things on each toon for a reason. Without the grind the game would get boring very quickly.
Why do people want easy mode give me everything right now, where's the fun and challenge in that?

This.

No free rides, please. Longtime players put the hours and effort in to slowly build our characters up. I don't mind helping new players out with armour and a bit of gold, but if you want the skyshards, lore books et al, you bleeding well get out there and grind them!
You'll appreciate and care for your characters WAY more and that creates longevity and better players and longevity creates solid communities. Better players help to make better groups and better groups stand a much better chance of completing content.

Why do.people make confusion between map teleporting waypoints, cities, camps, dungeons, delves. And a map that contains all this + chests, motifs, lorebooks and what else is on a map. I just refer strictly to the vanilla map. Skyshards are a different matter. Reading replies makes me realise we have all been speaking about different topics.

Mount upgrades not being account wide has always grinded my gears. And I've become desensitized to the Mage/Fighter guild grind, having maxed them so many times...

I love account unlocks as much as the next guy, but thanks to the Crown Store, I'm not sure what leeway they'll give us now.
