Returning Player - Annoyances and Requests
As a returning player I was very happy to see many new features. However, I have a few long-term annoyances I would like to share.
- Portals – Many NPCs can create portals, why not me. Why do you force me to find a guild mate in my zone and jump to the Wayshrine nearest them? I would like, at the least, be able to open a portal to the nearest Wayshrine to me. Make it an achievement like some super high number of Mage’s Guild fetch quests. Let me create a portal to any location I have to been would be even better.
- Character Selection Screen - Some way of viewing more information about each Alt on the character selection page. Why can’t we click on a character and press the respective key and see a read only view of what the last state of Character, Skills, Champion Points and Inventory looked like.
- PVP Slot or Second Slot for second role for a character – If you just add a second slot for Gear (inventory), Skills, and Champion Points I can use the same toon to easily play both roles. I know if you give a second, some people would pay for a third, fourth, fifth. Now gear wise, I think you should have a separate tab in the Inventory menu. You should be able to keep everything already loaded without having to undress and redress for the new role. Click on Role 2 and everything changes.
- Rapids – So why do I have to use a slot for Rapids. You already made it so simple to get by just doing the PVP tutorial or log in enough times to get free Alliance points Why can’t we have it hotkeyed, say on key “6” I know there is an addon that works about 80% of the time but this should be updated
- Race Skin Color – Why can’t my Orc have the same skin tone choices as the Khajiit or Argonian – Is it really that lore breaking to let me have a Black Orc?
- Defiler Gear – Why doesn’t Defiler add major or minor Defile? There are 4 sets that add the defile debuff, why isn't defiler one of them? I am not asking you to change it, I just want in on the joke.

You can already do that, it costs a bit of gold but you can teleport to any wayshrine from anywhere in any overland PvE zone. Unless you wanted to be able to do that for free? Sorry, no can do.[*] Portals – Many NPCs can create portals, why not me. Why do you force me to find a guild mate in my zone and jump to the Wayshrine nearest them? I would like, at the least, be able to open a portal to the nearest Wayshrine to me.
You can, however, teleport to your own house from anywhere for free.
Actually, it does - the Hunger proc effect deals poison damage, and the Poisoned status effect applies Minor Defile.[*] Defiler Gear – Why doesn’t Defiler add major or minor Defile?

Free is what I want
Thanks on the info on the Hunger Proc, I did not look that close on what the Poison does.0 -

Poisoned status applies a dot, not defile. Disease damage applies defile.

There is no "6" key on consoles. Also making your mount go faster is a sacrifice. So choose your skills wisely.[*] Race Skin Color – Why can’t my Orc have the same skin tone choices as the Khajiit or Argonian – Is it really that lore breaking to let me have a Black Orc?
Yes it is lore breaking. Read some lore about why orcs look like they do. (Hint: It has to do with the deadric princes.)

This isn't a valid reason to not have this on PC. PC has addons, consoles doesn't; there is no crossplay, what PC gets would have no impact upon consoles for something like this.[*] Rapids – So why do I have to use a slot for Rapids.

So much this. My group of friends can attest that this is one of my daily reminders of stupid crap ZOS hasn't made a QOL fix for yet.As a returning player I was very happy to see many new features. However, I have a few long-term annoyances I would like to share.

It is a perfectly valid reason.
1st) The reason (given by zos) about why housing is limited to 700 slot items on the PC is because consoles can't deal with that many objects. So PC vs Console will always have have the same limitations.
2nd) If everyone gets an "extra slot" for rapids on PC, compared to consoles who will have to sacrifice a slot still, then rapids will become unbalanced on PC and will have to be nerfed. They are NOT going to rebalance an ability for only PC or only console. That is just right out.Edited by BlueRaven on July 11, 2020 7:09PM1 -

Riding Skill: Speed.
Also holding down the "shift" key (on PC) increases speed as well.Edited by BlueRaven on July 11, 2020 7:25PM1 -

Oops, I was wrong, I tend to get those 2 damage types mixed up.
Yes, what you say is correct, so there is no Defile on the Defiler set after all
As for Rapids: with the planned U27 changes to Alliance skill lines (revolving mostly around Vigor accessibility), who knows what will end up happening to Rapids. As usual, I expect nothing good (ie, more nerfs).

✭✭✭✭✭1. Portals. We can already quick travel to any wayshrine we have unlocked.
2. The character selection is handled by a different server system than the gain game itself. It would require more resources to commit that information elsewhere for each character when we log out. There would also likely be complications if our game crashed since anything like this would only be saved with a proper log out as it would require significant resources to constantly save the information while we were playing. Further, if on PC there is an add-on where we can check our inventory across the game.
3. Alternate builds have been asked for numerous times. Maybe we will get them someday maybe not.
4. Rapids is a skill which means by definition we need to have it slotted to use. It is irrelevant it is easy to get since the first skill in almost every skill line is extremely easy to get. Is there any skill in the game that can be used without having it slotted? If the answer is no then we have our reason.
5. I think it is obvious why an orc (or Bretton for that matter) cannot have the same skin appearance as a reptile race or fur type beast race. Not going to happen.
6. Maybe change the name.
In the end, number three is something that would be nice to have.Edited by idk on July 12, 2020 3:26AM3 -

✭✭✭Free is what I want
Thanks on the info on the Hunger Proc, I did not look that close on what the Poison does.
Then generate a lot of gold and buy the cheapest houses in each zone. That's what I did. The best part of this is that houses are account wide so every new character gets all those free teleport locations. And by and large, houses are near wayshrines.
But, quite frankly, a level 55 costs 146 gold to port from wherever they are to a known wayshrine. If you think thats too expensive, I don't know what to tell you.
IMHO

1. If 146 gold is a significant sum to you, you’re not doing gold-getting right. Porting to guildies allows you to discover weyshrines without the tedious business of actually getting to them on foot.
2. The character selection info screen doesn’t connect to the actual server. Would be nice but given they’ve managed to balls up the character selection process simply by changing the background and dumping an ad space on us, the idea they could add any real features to this without creating a total crapfest is farcical.
3. Yes please. Some way of enabling a character to easily swap from PvE to PvP set up would be great. At present the requirement to keep a separate set(s) of gear, swap them out, change CP, skills, morphs etc just to be vaguely competitive makes even starting to do PvP a right pain. The sort of QoL that should have been in the game from the start. Chances of it happening? Zero.
4. Rapids is a skill. Want to swap it in and out? There’s an add on that does that. Should mount speed be faster from the get-go? Yup. And btw don’t be so sure Rapids will be so easy to get in the future...
5. Yup... lore breaking stuff should not be available. Although I’m sure they could “lore it up” for there to be black, blue or purple orcs if they chose.
6. No idea, don’t care, it’s not a great set.0 -
I still stand by my list.
Porting for 146g is not the issue. But with as many hours I have invested, let me open portals like the NPC mages do. What's the big deal. It would be so cool.
As for the character selection screen, it seems to know the zone, the mount, the pet, the armor. It is just a little coding to give us more.
They could make rapids not a skill. If I can hotkey walk/run, autorun, sprint, and roll dodge I think it is not much of a stretch to add speed run.
OK, maybe I will back off the request for the Black Orc. It seems that the Lore crowd is passionate on this one. Dark Green (with red eyes, sorry) it will half to be. At least I have a black khajiit.0
