Do you think we're getting Spellcrafting this year?

colossalvoids · January 2023

No

Well good thing I've not actually committed to my hopes lol. Disappointing but not surprised.

TooWeak2Live · January 2023

No

I certainly hope not. It doesn't jive with the gear and class systems. It would destabilize the combat mechanics YET AGAIN, and force us to rebuild all our toons YET AGAIN. Just no. That ship sailed.

From ZOSs perspective, what would they consider a "most requested feature"? I'm guessing the ability to have 2 non combat pets and marriage with NPCs.

Helmets/headgear for companions.

I think it will be spellcrafting. And it will end in chaos.

Imagine teasing spellcrafting and then not delivering.
There's the added consideration that (if) Telvanni in the new chapter, then some sort of levitation spell is inevitable, isn't it?

Maybe a very limited one as the levels aren't built for flying.

Telvanni architecture should really demand levitation. But thinking about it, they'd probably need to go with a context menu cop out system to avoid breaking every other part of the game. So levitation would work like the portals and hookshot.

Yes

Normally, it would, of course. But I don't think it's really possible to include a levitation spell in ESO because the maps aren't built for that and they won't change all maps accordingly. That would be a horrible amount of work. So they'll just include a teleporter in the Telvanni towers, I'm sure - like they already did with Tel Galen.

No

Yeah Sadrith Mora had levitation pads already.

No

It will be something that has been requested enough to show up in their Top N list, where N is greater than or equal to 10 but probably less than 100. The deciding factor is likely that is also on the Top M items that are wanted by Marketing/Monetization/Development, where M is less than or equal to 10.

The question to ask is not "what has been requested by players most often" but which of those things are things that they would want to do because they can sell it.

Dark_Lord_Kuro · January 2023

I would welcome this. I like soloing dungeons as much as the next vestige but some of them are so beautiful and the story so interesting, I just want to roll through and enjoy that. Not something you can do with runners in a pug.

I'd love that. We can run a dungeon solo for the story and skill point, then with groups for any other rewards.

I haven't experienced a single dungeon story so far. It's all rush, rush, rush.

I do not think either of those. I rarely see such threads.

Even then, two non-combat pets is easily done but not with the current game's performance.

Marriage to NPCs would be a mess because you would not want it to be with the premier NPCs because they are to special and that is what the few who want such a feature probably desire. We will get marriage to our companions before the rest gets any chance at serious consideration. We know this because Zenimax has already mentioned the possibility.

BretonMage · January 2023

Yes

Or, this could be the 1H and rune class some people were asking for.

Malthorne · January 2023

Yes

RIP. I hope that we at least get the ability to change class somehow. Be it through a class change token or whatever.

Seraphayel · January 2023

Guys, as I said, we might get Arcanist in the Chapter, but we still have the unannounced system for Q4. This still could be something like Spellcrafting. It would make more sense as well so that every player can experience it (and it’s easier to sell stuff in the Crown Store). You cannot monetize a Chapter feature as much. Look at housing, that was a free update as well, but makes ZOS tons of cash.

SpacemanSpiff1 · January 2023

only 1 hour until they announce spellcrafting!

Very true. I believe Firor said we would be getting more details on the Q4 system during the global reveal. I’m not sure if that means they will make an official announcement on what the systems is today or what but fingers crossed.

We're getting a bard class. You're welcome.

If Zo$ monetizes spellcrafting to hell and back then it will defeat the purpose, but I highly doubt they would just give players a new system like that as a free combat update like that with crown store purchases while still claiming not to be pay-to-win. So, I don't see them adding spellcrafting at all this year, and perhaps never because they won't be able to monetize it like they want to.

Vevvev · January 2023

Sadly it's not spellcrafting... it's...

A new class.

Out of all the things the player base wanted they give us that...

Guess I'm going on 5 years of no new skill lines for my Dragonknight. Vampire rework not counted.

Artheiron · January 2023

No

No because the guy who was working on it was so special, they couldn't find someone else sort it out. However, if that happens, it'll forever change eso for better . People are craving for a rpg game that has nice spell-magic system.

SpacemanSpiff1 · January 2023

The global stream was a ruse. it's definitely spellcrafting.
