What things should ESO add?

Sammycakes · April 2014

So I like this game but afte playing a while a few things come to mind I would personally like to see added.

1 a mini map( I had to download an addon that added this) but it is something I fell is a must.

2 some sort of a loot indicator that tells you what you picked up without having to check your inventory( another addon I downloaded but should be in the game)

3 the ability to preview items

4 this is just me but in an items description I would like to see something that tells you what style it is in.

5 player housing this is something we are starting to see more mmos doing and one that I would like to see ESO do within the first 1-2 years. God can you imagine what it would be like of we could make hearthfire like houses in ESO?

6 reduced repair cost! Now I have only worked with first tier of crafting but I have found that it is easier and cheaper to just flat out craft new armor than it is to repair it(unless you tempered the crap out of it but I don't see much of a reason to go beyond green or blue while leveling). This might not be the case for higher tiers of crafting.

I have brought 1 character to lvl 16 and 3 others to 10 so I am still fairly new and these happened to be just some of the things that I have seen so far that would be nice to have added to the game.

They should add the ability to group in every single quest in the game, it is an MMO and to force single player game action is completely wrong and reeks of lazy game design because they are too lazy to make the quests doable in the multiplayer aspect.

For instance in one recent quest in a dungeon in Alkir desert area I needed to collect 12 relics and that would allow me to get to the next part of the dungeon and complete the quest. I assumed when the leader of the group picked up the relics that would count for us all to have picked it up like it SHOULD in a multiplayer game.

But no I had to abandon the group as soon as the leader went through the door that required you to have the relics. Also the relic respawn time was ridiculous so waiting around while everyone in the group got their relic would mean killing the same spawn over and over again as they mobs respawn much quicker then the relics did.

Super lazy game design and Zenimax should have just made the final version of the single player Elder Scrolls game because really that is all they are any good at....

Then your group leader clearly didn't Share the quest (press F!) with the rest of the group, which is his fault, not the game's.

Besides that, are you sure you want all the single-player content to be multiplayer? There's already enough bots and grind-y players that camp the bosses in public dungeons, we don't need them sitting around and killing the important quest bosses that you have to defeat to progress the game.

Housing, crime system, dark brotherhood, and thieves guild.

Don't necessary agree with anything else you said. They aren't necessary and if you want them there are mods for it (loot and minimap)

Jeremy · April 2014

There is probably an add-on for this. But I am wary of using them and would like to see a system added to the game that allows me place markers on my map and identify them - similar to the way Final Fantasy 11 does it.

Morag Tong ASAP

Bounty board for bosses would be nice

Glass armour racial motiff

Ordinator racial motiff (her hand purple was epic)

Others want housing, ill go with that all though not my thing

Toggled werewolf transform

Jewellery crafting - goldsmith

Vvardenfell island open ASAP

Carry a friend mount option ... roleplayers you know you want it

More ignore slots ... between old sellers and some of the worst folks I have seen in an MMO in many years I filled all of mine tonight.

Fixes for open world dungeons where you can tell the boss by the crowd of bots around him and the need to spam an ability to try to get kill credit

Fixes for botting in open world where there are now trains of them running round.

I Love many aspects of this game but I am finding the general ecosystem to be quite toxic right now - and I have played many MMOs for many years.

Beyond that - previews of gear would be good
Loot indicator
Ability to move materials directly to bank without being in a town
Account linked motifs

Some ability to dye gear (but not a priority since designs are so good now)

- Optional mini-map is fine for me as I don't want one now, I like the un-modded UI as it is. And how much effort does it take to press M twice? You can still move with the map open.

2 some sort of a loot indicator that tells you what you picked up without having to check your inventory( another addon I downloaded but should be in the game)

- Press I - is that really so taxing? They even put recently acquired items at the top of the list for you

3 the ability to preview items

- This would be nice so you can see what the different styles look like, but you get a sort of mini-preview of styles in the crafting window (the crafted item icon changes as you select different styles). I can see how not being able to preview gear in the inventory might be annoying with bind-on-equip items for people who care more about appearance than stats.

4 this is just me but in an items description I would like to see something that tells you what style it is in.

- Agreed, this seemed like an odd omission.

5 player housing this is something we are starting to see more mmos doing and one that I would like to see ESO do within the first 1-2 years. God can you imagine what it would be like of we could make hearthfire like houses in ESO?

- Totally agree and I hope it would be somewhere we could put those useless relics on display.

6 reduced repair cost! Now I have only worked with first tier of crafting but I have found that it is easier and cheaper to just flat out craft new armor than it is to repair it(unless you tempered the crap out of it but I don't see much of a reason to go beyond green or blue while leveling). This might not be the case for higher tiers of crafting.

- I almost agreed with this, but this is the first mmorpg I've played for a while where there's anything like a meaningful death penalty (the repair costs) and I'd hate to see the game dumbed-down any more than it is.

I have brought 1 character to lvl 16 and 3 others to 10 so I am still fairly new and these happened to be just some of the things that I have seen so far that would be nice to have added to the game.

Early previews of the game originally added a mini map but it was scarpped in favor of our current compass, which I agree with, you have the option to have you mini map and I get to have my compass, don't force your mini map on me, they're ugly. I think repair costs are fine, gold isn't hard to come by in this game. You can already tell what style a piece of armor is in by looking at it's icon. Everything else, I agree with.

habbahen · April 2014

There is an addon for minimap.

mips_winnt · April 2014

Be nice if they added the ability to rename your gear items when enchanting them (ala Skyrim), makes it easier to put together/keep track of gear sets and adds a nice little touch of "immersion" IMHO.

Putting jewelry crafting in would be a nice to have as well.

hackerssuck · April 2014

I think they should add a new server maintenance strategy. Down time at least twice a week is getting really old. A "hotfix" takes three hours to do? Seriously?

hackerssuck · April 2014

I think repair costs are stupidly expensive. It makes me not want to take any risks at all. I don't even do dungeon runs until I absolutely have to because dying 4 or 5 times means a 1000 gold repair bill in the 20's. That's just ***. Gear I can sell for maybe 30 gold per piece should not cost 200 gold to repair from a few deaths. It's not fun, and it's quickly turning me off to this game.

The Fall of Faolchu Quest - This quest is frustrating solo. Kiting Faolchu around the room into the fire works for a while but he hits a ton and blocking is rather ineffective. Please consider making this a group quest or reducing his hit points a little.
