✭I think that we have taken the game just about as far as it can go. It is time for a completely new ESO2 built from the ground up. I want one with at least as long and epic a main quest as ESO1.0 -
Maxx7410✭✭✭✭What i want?
1 No more cats
2 Game that work
3 nice and long story
4 No more nerfs
5 New classes
6 New skills
7 New guilds, new quest for current guilds
8 Journal system
9 multiple choices/endings consequences etc
10 companions
11 new game mechanics
12 A new progression system leave cp 810 make something for the ton of people that are already there
13 in general nice NEW pve and pvp content
14 new activities to do in guilds (trade pvs, dungeon etc)
15 improvments to the housing system (no just to build a house that doesnt do anythig make us do a base that is attacked or something!!!)
16 Flying and underwater content!!!
17 Naval fights, ships, pirats, etc
18 NEW GREAT MUSIC LIKE IN SKYRIM I WANT ANOTHER THEME LIKE THE MAIN OF SKYRIM
19crown store sales that are not only aesthetic, for example companions with quest history, houses that have some new mechanics to play, maybe build a wizard tower and is attacked (like in pilars of eternity) etc
20 That we can put our toons in a same places and that we can make and define relationships among them like in SWTOR
21 Dragon mount (only for me) (must fly!!!)
22 voice for our toons
23 implement a true attributes system
24 For now this is it, this is the minimum ZOS has to do to make this game great!

✭✭One desire: get the balance of nerfs right so that all classes are viable in both PvE and PvP for all roles, then leave it alone for long enough to allow for proper adaptation of the modifications into a play style.
Also, give us more storage capabilities so that we can keep gear with significant sunk costs for when the line moves yet again. You could call it hoarding, I call it wasting months of farming if you don't hoard.4 -
Tandor✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭I'm perfectly happy with the game as it is, including performance for my solo/cooperative PvE playstyle on both PC EU and NA servers, and always welcome new content. I'm not concerned about new features, but a better trading system would certainly be good.2 -

PrimusNephilim✭✭✭✭✭What I’d love
- A working PC EU server (lol)
- Less lag, better performance, fewer 304, 307 disconnects, FPS greater than 30, no rubber banding etc etc
- The end of the class balancing process (with hopefully a satisfying conclusion)
- A faster, working group finder (with the option for ESO+ subscribers to not include the DLC dungeons)
- Battlegrounds that put together matched teams and allowed for a variety of team members (ie 3 a side, 6 a side etc)
- Battlegrounds that could be organised by guilds so we can choose the sides, map and gamestyle
- Fewer ‘Crown gem exclusives’, more content available through gameplay
- Better guild management and trading tools
- Better quality graphics for everything
- More choice, items, way more lights, and a more slots in housing
- Better. Inventory. Management. And way more slots - this game should not be all about inventory management
- A hurricane sorc that I could actually see in combat
- A better pathway into PvP
- A genuine PvP house (file next to guild organised BGs)
- But top of the wish list, surprise me with more imagination in content and design... please
What I expect/fear
- the unexcitement of the ordinary... 3 DLC and a chapter, 2 dungeon packs, an expansion and a zone that’s got an area ‘bigger than Elsweyr’ but with the playing space of Betnik ... it’s Skyrim but somehow not the Skyrim single player game (but enough like it that it doesn’t offend Skyrim players)
- more Crown Gem exclusives - a horrid currency hidden behind gambling boxes meaning you’ll never know how cripplingly expensive that funny pony is
- A continually confusing never ending combat realignment process (no I don’t know exactly what that is either)
- More f-ing Uglyarse Indriks “this time in puce”
- P2W - buy that build fully specced up... a Crown Gem exclusive
- Nords.... lots of Nords... not the well thought out ones with a culture, but the ‘funny’ always drinking, always a bit turnip-headed comedy Nords we see all over ESO
- We’re going “back to Skyrim”....
- A really expensive, but ultimately valueless cinematic for the ‘play for free’ fanboys to ogle over, which adds nothing to the game
- Nothing inspiring, imaginative or genuinely surprising... just more evidence of a game slowly running down into oblivion
I hope someone in the ZOS office is reading this4 -

✭✭✭✭✭Predictions
I am expecting a new Chapter, along with two new Dungeon DLC (1Q and 3Q) and a zone DLC in 4Q. We will find out details of the 1Q dungeon DLC, some details of the 2Q Chapter, and just acknowledgement that the 3Q and 4Q DLCs are coming. Public dungeon and delve quantity will follow established norms. Basic, standard, stuff.
There will be a lot of stuff around the location, which I think will be upper and western Skyrim.
Necromancer will hit the Crown Store. The Chapter content will be rolled in with the other Chapters.
They are overdue for a new monetization scheme, but it is not clear to me whether they will introduce this now or just double down on what they have for a while longer.
As for what the content will be, I have thoughts...

Mixith✭✭✭I'm really hoping for a Bard skill line, other than that i hope they finally fix the bug where your weapons go invisible or you end up running on them.
I'm also really hoping we aren't going back to dolmens or geysers in Skyrim, i think the dragon ones are a step in a more interesting direction. That being said i don't want it to be dragons again, will be interesting to see what they decide to do though.0 -
technohic✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭I expect them to talk about th iui s years story ark, and the progress in performance fixes, maybe some about balance adjustments or ot will at least show in patch notes shortly after.
None of it will matter much though; until I see performance actually better.0 -

My thoughts around a skill line are related one of these: spell crafting, vampire, forsworn/briar-heart, new weapon
They should have dark anchors, or at least dolmens, in Skyrim. I'd like to see some consistency with Eastmarch and Rift and not just dream up a way to exclude them because it is 2020.XBox EU/NA:@ElsonsoJannus

✭✭✭Given the alternating pattern precedent, we will probably receive a new skill line of some sort. We might receive a new battleground map as it has been a while since we received a new one. Other than those two items, I am expecting a new zone with even fewer quests and points of interest than usual (compare the recent zones with the original base game zones). The story and the writing will likely be top notch as always, there simply won’t be much of it. I’d like to encounter a new memorable character, but there was not one in the last three chapters. I’d also like to receive a new base city that rivals Mournhold for my permanent presence; however that seems unlikely as well. My last hope is that I will not be too disappointed by the lack of forest density, provided we have some forest land in the new chapter.Edited by LonePirate on January 13, 2020 5:05PM2 -

Thats a fair point about the dolmens i suppose, i personally just find them a bit boring at this point. For the skill lines i doubt we will see spell crafting, i know a lot of people want it but it just seems highly unlikely in my opinion. We also already have a vampire skill lines so it would be weird if we got a completely new one, maybe a rework of the existing one though! Forsworn/briar-heart skill lines could also be interesting and i think i would really enjoy a new weapon too.

✭✭They are overdue for a new monetization scheme, but it is not clear to me whether they will introduce this now or just double down on what they have for a while longer.
For the new monetization scheme I expect that all rewards from completing content in game are moved to Crown store so players can freely enjoy playing as they want and pick up the rewards on their own leisure - for the money.

✭✭Don't expect anything.
This.
Expecting things is why the Elite Dangerous community is going to implode later this year with the game's next expansion.

Gravord✭✭✭✭✭Here is my hoping, or dreaming:
1. Berserker class
2. New werewolf model
3. Actual server improvements not just promises
4. PvP balance in the right direction (nerfing aoe and ultimates for the starter)
5. Skyrim having size as it should be, not 2 cities connected with 25m long road and 99% doors chained
6. Bard skill line - based on group buffing and slight aoe debuffs (not every bard is good at his job after all, music can hurt ears too), which would compliment mainly healers and tanks hotbars.
7. Breaking up the pattern of 2 dlcs with 2 dungeons would be good. It doesnt have to be same repetitive stuff forever every year just because it happened once or twice before. Big expansion zone for this year, 2 smaller zones, 1 dlc dung. Running out of space for expansions anyway and it will have to change format soon.
8. Buffs to imperial race to put them on par with the rest. Not p2w but its not even top 5 race for any of the role apart of tanking (which is far worse than nord or lizard).
9. Non moronic nord NPCs in Skyrim. Enough with all of them being clones of Rigurt...
10. Reachman playable race. Hybrid stam/mag, would fit with ZOS pushing hybrid builds and sets from a while.Edited by Gravord on January 13, 2020 7:53PM2 -
MasterSpatula✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭To keep my interest for the coming year, I need two promises (neither of which I expect to hear):
No more Overland Content brimming with one-shots, several of which the player can't do anything to avoid.
No more dailies with atrocious drop rates.
Unless I can be feel secure that future goals will actually be attainable and that deaths (in Overland, at least) will be the result of player mistakes, I have my doubts I'm going to make it to the next Chapter."A probable impossibility is preferable to an improbable possibility." - Aristotle2 -

Yep. It is safer that way. At least you won't be disappointed...Don't expect anything.
2020 is here, and there are quite a lot of new games coming this year, that I am excited for. So if by some miracle last year (Season of Dragons / Cats) will turn out not to be the worst in ESO history, but new Skyrim chapter by some miracle will be even worse, then well... there are other games that I have been waiting for...1 -
Xvorg✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭What I hope:
The Battlespire or at least The Deadlands
What I expect:
Utterly boring Skyrim again...Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly
I was born with the wrong sign
In the wrong house
With the wrong ascendancy
I took the wrong road
That led to the wrong tendencies
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
On the wrong day of the wrong week
Used the wrong method with the wrong technique2 -
GrimTheReaper45✭✭✭✭✭What I want
- Class identity
- Bug fixes
- QoL improvments
- Performance fixes
What We Will Get
- Nerfs
- A patch that launches in a game breaking state
- more lag
- Some sort of new hamster wheel grind2 -

✭What i expect will be announced.
More hype than content.....
What they might announce.
Light and heavy attack damage removed. All damage will come from DOT and AOE from weapon and class skills.
What I'd want them to announce.
