The sad truth of our capitalist society. Everything hinges on that paycheck.

Some of the things I would do:

1. I would expand the class skill lines to at least 10-15 class Skills per skill line because the classes are so frustratingly lackluster. Just try to create a hunter ranger in ESO - you can't. A warden archer simply doesn't cut it. Not with the pitiful skill line it has. The same applies to other archetypes and classes in this game.

2. Since ESO needs far more ways to spend skill points I would add more possibilities to do so. I would add Guild Skill lines like the Morag Thong in Vvardenfell, Illumination Academy in Summerset, possibly even make the Wyrds in Glenumbra/ Bangkorai and the Spinners in Valenwood joinable guilds.
Guilds like the Thieves guild and the Dark Brotherhood do need some active abilities. While I don't have many decent ideas yet, a smoke bomb skill for the Thieves guild comes into my mind.

3. More weapon skill lines for magicka players: One hand and rune, bound weapons (from TES V: Skyrim)

4. I would rework the skill morph system. With all the distinction in stamina and magicka, PvE and PvP, the game really needs more morph choices, so that the player actually has a choice. I would expand it and add more layers to it, so that players can choose between more secondary effects to their skills and therefore actually be able to customize their builds. This would probably be a discount version of the spell crafting system.

5. Ability Skins! Definitely! So, that the entire playerbase isn't forced to stick with the same boring ugly pets, which we currently have.

6. A loadout system. So, players can easily switch between roles and modes (PvE vs PvP) to always get the most out of their champion point allocation. Perfect quality of life solution if you don't want to spend 3k gold each time you switch between PvP and PvE, etc.

change all 18 sorcerer class skills to bound armor including ultimates

now they can dodeca-slot bound armor and enjoy the game like every other class

I would split PvP and PvE skill values so they can be balanced separately. Basically when entering a PvP area load a PvP table and when entering a PvE area load a PvE table. It's time to get off the merry go round of a change to one breaks the other.

^ This.

More than anything... ...this.

Because until This, nothing else that might do means anything, because they'll undo it two patches later.


All The Best

Scandinavia sound appealing.

Its amazing how many vacation days they get in Europe.

Remove Argonians, that is all I would do..

Performance

Grouping tool

1) Master writs - When you complete a master writ, you unlock it in a collectibles tab. You can add new traits and styles to the item as you complete more master writs. This would fix the garbage Jewelry writs, because writs would have an additional value to them if they are now unlockables.

2) Armory - Overworld sets can be stored for all Characters on your account costing 10 Undaunted keys per item added. (Not Trial / Dungeon / Monster Helm). Certain overworld sets that are quest rewards can only be unlocked by completing the quest, this would encourage alts to do questing.

3) Soul Merge - 18 Characters is getting a bit hectic, not really scale-able. I'd want an ability to merge multiple characters of the same class. IE. If you have a Nord Dragon Knight Tank and a Dunmer mDK you can Soul Merge the two. You select the primary and the secondary becomes a new profile load out. So if the Nord DK is the primary, it can swap to the Dunmer loadout, Dunmer racials, mDK skill, mDK items, mDK CP etc. The Lore would be that Azura gave your Dunmer mDK his soul back and as such died, but got his soul back, but his essence remains within your Nord Tank. This 1 Dragon Knight you have can now swap between Tank or mDK in a single click. QoL - It means all your Dragon Knights can rest on the one character without having to swap character. You lose a character slot if you do it. You get double inventory slots. Max of 3 per class (18 slots in total, 6 classes, you'll end up with 6 characters with 3 loadouts each if you were to max it all out).

Changing a secondary racial skill costs 50k gold, changing primary racial costs a token.

4) Mat overhaul
a ) Remove Ta, Jejota and the Furniture Rune. Make Denata daily writs, Rekuta Furniture, Kuta BIS
b ) Remove the requirement for Alchemy Solvent, most ingredients (eggs, larvae) are gooey enough
c ) Reduce the crafting mats of Woodworking, Clothing, Blacksmithing to 5 (like how Jewelry operates)
d ) Remove trait items and their requirement in Wood / Cloth / Blacksmithing (except for Nirnhoned)
e ) Same as d ) but for Jewelry but only apply to Arcane, Robust, Healthy traits
f ) Remove the 'collect 10 pieces of garbage to create 1 slightly better piece of garbage' system for the style traits found in certain areas. Instead replace them with a full item that has a 8-10 times lower drop rate.
g ) Either have hirelings direct deposit into the craft bag for all player (skipping the tedious mail check) or remove hirelings and buff daily writs to compensate.

I would create a 'quick poll' that would pop up whenever someone logs into the game. Like the crown store advertisement *eye roll*.

In it I'd put things like 'Do you think dungeon A is too hard?' 'Do you want to see an overhaul of X?' 'Would you be interested in Y?' 'Did you enjoy *insert new content*?' 'Would you like to see a DLC based on Z?'

To keep things really simple, give it only three possible answers. Yes. No. Ignore/cancel/don't care/not answer. And a field for feedback with only like 50 characters or 5 words or something.

This would be a simple way to actually collect concise feedback from the community. The people who PLAY. The people who log in. Not just streamers and forum goers and the top 0,00001% who can complete all content. When they decided to change something no one asked for, then they could tell us with all the confidence what % of players voted for this. No more of those surprise nerfs 'literally no one' asked for.

This game feels like sitting helplessly in the back of a bus while having neither knowledge of where it's going or why it's suddenly leaving the road and rolling down a hill with no brakes. Sometimes the trip is nice, sometimes it turns into a mess with no warning.

PS this new forum style is HORRIBLE.

If I was a dev at ZOS I'd probably start looking for another job and run asap.

If you were Dev, what would you change in this game, any why? And what is better than in other games and should stay as it is? Please write at least one thing for each point.
