How do you feel about the guild/fraction system of TESO?

We have a lot of guilds/fractions in the Elder Scrolls lore.
In TESO we have:
Each and every single one with a respective skilline. How do you feel about these joinable factions?
In TESO we have:
- The Mages Guild
- The Fighters Guild
- The Undaunted
- The Dark Brotherhood
- The Thieves Guild
- The Psijic Order
Each and every single one with a respective skilline. How do you feel about these joinable factions?

I think the guild/fraction system needs a rework! I need a guild/fraction screen, that shows the guilds/fractions that I am a part of as well as my respective rank! I want new & updated guild/fraction quests for each zone and rewards for my guild/fraction progress. Fitting rewards like titles, gear styles, costumes, personalities, emotes, mounts, a companion, furniture and furniture plans, as well as the current guild/fraction skills.

✭✭✭✭✭I have my own ideas and want to share them! (Write a comment!)I don't mess with any of them except Mages and Psijic - don't really want to deal with Sheo, but the rest of it is fine, and I really love the Psijic quest line. Fighters I do on one character on each PC megaserver, just to get the crafting stations for attuning so I never have to bother with it again.
I don't find grindy stuff like that fun at all, so I just won't do it. As for DB and TG, I don't have any use for that content in any TES game.______________________________________________________

Antiquities and tales of tribute are implemented quite well into the world, but as mentioned in the OP, so much can be done with the guilds.
I love the idea of another form of guild progression tied to new quests with associated rewards to encourage player engagement.(AD) Artim X/Xirtām/Måtrix |PC/NA| Casual staff wielding vampire sorcerer/templar/arcanistElectric-Stunhttps://media.giphy.com/media/Av0zcKH3i2BkaY1GXW/giphy.gif/https://c.tenor.com/jQHdFftrgwMAAAAC/tenor.gifElectric-Pets- Roleplay Damage Dealing Build.

- Trash Potions when feeling cheap: Regular CP150 Essence of Magicka pots that I obtain frequently from playing the game or Crown Tri-Restoration Potion obtained from dailies.
- Crafted Potions: Essence of Spell Critical (Bugloss, Lady's Smock, and Water Hyacinth). Without magelight this is my primary means of obtaining Major Prophecy on my Sorc, which increases my Spell Critical Rating. This also heals and restores magicka. Essence of Immovability (Columbine, Corn Flower, and Wormwood). I use this in PvP, since this gives me stealth detection, knockback immunity, and restores magicka (better to use it when competent allies are nearby, since it might reveal that you are surrounded by multiple players in stealth and you will not have an emergency pot available after use). Essence of Invisibility with only 2 ingredients (Blue Entoloma, Namira's Rot, Nirnroot, or Spider Egg). I use this in PvE content that requires stealth and if I need more speed I'll use Rapid Maneuver before using the potion. Essence of Invisibility with 3 ingredients (Blessed Thistle, Blue Entoloma, and Namira's Rot). Very useful in PvP alongside the vampire Dark Stalker passive, since you'll be invisible, ignore movement speed penalty while in Crouch, and you'll have a 30% movement speed boost from Major Expedition (I always have this slotted when riding from point A to B in PvP land, since gankers are always lurking). My templar/arcanist will mostly use Essence of Health (Tri-Stat Potion) Ingredients: (Mountain Flower, Columbine, and Bugloss).

✭✭I have my own ideas and want to share them! (Write a comment!)I have never liked them. I don't feel like a member of the mages guild, or the fighter guild, or the undaunted. It just seems like grind gameplay added that gets boring after your first character so that you spend money on the line for your second -20th character. That is what it seems like to me.
I'd have preferred to been part of ONE guild only. Make them exclusive for their perks to create some actual diversity in this game vs everyone having the same kits.
In vanilla World of Warcraft (why do people use vanilla as "plain" when their is nothing "plain" about the flavor of vanilla to start with? I always wonder about that)...anyway in WOW circa 2004 there was an instanced area that only players of a certain PVP rank could get into. We called it the Warlords room. That always felt cool, that my character was part of something "exclusive" (although anyone putting in the effort could get into the room). We simply do not have that sense in ESO.
Then again, if we could only be part of one NPC guild, then there would be a massive reduction in the sales of the skill lines sold through the crown store."Class identity isn’t just about power or efficiency. It’s about symbolic clarity, mechanical cohesion, and a shared visual and tactical language between players." - sans-culottes1 -
Araneae6537✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭It’s not going to be changed, but I don’t care for general use skills being in guild skill lines as to me it makes no sense to have characters join every guild (not that I would take that option away from players). Any guild skill lines should be very specific, IMO, like the Thieves guild skill line. I would l have preferred joining guilds be for the quest/story and/or because the affiliation or focus of the guild makes sense for my character.0 -

Jestir✭✭✭✭✭They are fine, but I’d love to have some more cosmetic rewards for each guild/fraction. As well as more quests.It's been years we really could use a follow up on the guild stories, maybe a small quest line for each that will show us how the former quest lines and ourselves have influenced them
If they are under new leadership, how is it going under them?
If someone is no longer there, how are they doing and how are things without them?
Are they continuing to take new members? If they are, can we be the "mentor" now?
Just a small follow up would be nice to make the guilds feel like something that mattered and not another grind...... And a few guild inspired collectibles along with it would be lovely0 -

✭I have my own ideas and want to share them! (Write a comment!)Honestly I find it all boring...there is just no dynamism to any of it...I know someone is going to run up to me in every town and say "The Guild has need of you Comrade"
Comrade?
Really?
Sorry chuck I don't want to be part of whatever revolution your planning ...
It's just all feels so trite...instead of feeder quest that we are sure to ignore let things actually happen to us that draws us in...and for god sakes stop calling us
Comrade
Champion
Hero
Mama's special little man etc
if you guys would just listen into Zone chat for awhile you would know that this type of language is eyerolling at best...I mean you guys are working on a new MMO...are you actually planning to this same type of game loop for guilds? And if you're not why can't you change it for us?
I really hope questions like these get asked and answered at the up coming get togethers, because I feel like we are really in the dark about the future of the game in many areas.

Freelancer_ESO✭✭✭✭✭
✭I think that the guilds are too heavily connected to character effectiveness and too loosely connected to story and personalization.
Part of what made my individual character special to me in other TES games was that different characters would be in different guilds depending on the RP of the characters.
The thing is, since I play with other people at times I need to put in a moderate effort to respect the time of other players and thus I need to bring characters that are somewhat close to people's expectations for the content which means I'll need to do guilds I would really rather not interact with.
For example, I find that most of my characters would not want to associate themselves with the Undaunted. But, the groups I run with might have someone that may feel I should be running Necrotic Orb.
I think you also hit the issue that the faction based rewards that you can obtain tend to feel more like a gold sink and less like a reward.4 -

✭✭✭✭✭They are perfectly fine. skilllines that represent my progress and skills as rewards are all I need.They're central to the TES heritage, and I'm fine with the way they're designed. Nonetheless, I'm sure they could be developed further and I'd be fine with that too.1 -
kaushad✭✭✭✭I just need more guilds/fractions. (Any specific? Write a comment!)I especially like the Great Houses and Temple in TESIII and wish that other TES games had factions like them. I don't know if I'd make skill lines of them. It might work out similar to zone dailies. The Dragonguard more or less worked this way.1

That is why I made a poll and did not just ask for it.
I played TES 3-5 as well as other RPG's in the past. To me the current system is a little to much MMO and to little RPG. It feels like the guilds like the mages guild just exist but I want it to be more of an integral part of the game.
I loved joining a guild like the mages guild in TES4 Oblivion. You joined and you were recognised in UI and by members. When you progressed you were offered new gear, like robes a staff and other things to represent your new rank. But gear in TESO is in most cases something you never use. But TESO offers so much more in regards of cosmetic so you can make your character look and feel like more of a member. If you had the rank you were able to recute some low ranking members. TESO has companions that can do that. In the TES4 mages guild you got access to more places and services as you progressed, what made it more rewarding. At the end you got you Archmages quaters. We have housing in the game so why not give us some coresponding furniture.
As for quests, we have a questlihne in the bace game as well as some daily quests. I am happy that we have guild halls in each DLC area for mages and fighters guild! But it is kind of sad that they dont offer quests for that specific DLC area they are in. The guild questlines are some of the best TES games had in the past had. TES 4 & 5 had there progress bound to questlines and TES 3 had that and skillchecks for skills coresponding to the guilds. That feels so much better than just collecting books or killing daedra and undead for a single purpes reduced dighters guild.
I'd love to get back the cool fantasy the guilds had in the past. But it seems my passion is not shared with most that voted here. Hunting down Manimarco and his Wurm Cult or breaking into Whitegold Tower are unforgetteble. compare that with what we got in TESO. The guild and fraction fantasy is at a loss here so I wanted it expanded.
But thanks to everyone voting

But thanks to everyone voting
There are things I like about Skyrim and other games but each of them was a little different than the previous, though all placed in the same world. ESO is no different outside of the glaring aspect that it is an MMORPG instead of a single player game.
I will note that the poll does not really grasp what you seem to be trying to find in others. Besides being convoluted, it does not properly address what you are focused on. A simple question along the lines of would you like to see more involvement with the guilds with a yes or no answer would provide a better glimpse of how those in the forums feel about the subject.
Not trying to be critical, just pointing out what I think would provide better feedback. I do hope you find somethign in ESO you like.

ThelerisTelvanni✭✭✭I think the guild/fraction system needs a rework! I need a guild/fraction screen, that shows the guilds/fractions that I am a part of as well as my respective rank! I want new & updated guild/fraction quests for each zone and rewards for my guild/fraction progress. Fitting rewards like titles, gear styles, costumes, personalities, emotes, mounts, a companion, furniture and furniture plans, as well as the current guild/fraction skills.ThelerisTelvanni wrote: »People tend to want more so the poll will tend to show that.
However, the big takeaway that can be deduced from the results is that the majority, at the time of this post, feel the guild skill lines are fine. That is a total of 57% feel the skill lines are fine or perfectly fine and another 5% just think we need more guilds.
That is a pretty good result.
That is why I made a poll and did not just ask for it.
I played TES 3-5 as well as other RPG's in the past. To me the current system is a little to much MMO and to little RPG. It feels like the guilds like the mages guild just exist but I want it to be more of an integral part of the game.
I loved joining a guild like the mages guild in TES4 Oblivion. You joined and you were recognised in UI and by members. When you progressed you were offered new gear, like robes a staff and other things to represent your new rank. But gear in TESO is in most cases something you never use. But TESO offers so much more in regards of cosmetic so you can make your character look and feel like more of a member. If you had the rank you were able to recute some low ranking members. TESO has companions that can do that. In the TES4 mages guild you got access to more places and services as you progressed, what made it more rewarding. At the end you got you Archmages quaters. We have housing in the game so why not give us some coresponding furniture.
As for quests, we have a questlihne in the bace game as well as some daily quests. I am happy that we have guild halls in each DLC area for mages and fighters guild! But it is kind of sad that they dont offer quests for that specific DLC area they are in. The guild questlines are some of the best TES games had in the past had. TES 4 & 5 had there progress bound to questlines and TES 3 had that and skillchecks for skills coresponding to the guilds. That feels so much better than just collecting books or killing daedra and undead for a single purpes reduced dighters guild.
I'd love to get back the cool fantasy the guilds had in the past. But it seems my passion is not shared with most that voted here. Hunting down Manimarco and his Wurm Cult or breaking into Whitegold Tower are unforgetteble. compare that with what we got in TESO. The guild and fraction fantasy is at a loss here so I wanted it expanded.

Well I do like TESO but there is always room for improvement. The guild thing is just one where you can get a lot out of it.
And I am always open for constructive critisism. The reason I choose multiple options like this was to see if the other players are more in fovor of smal improvements like more cosmetic rewards and some new quests, don't need any or are like me asking for bigger changes. It seems that over 50% want some kind of improvement. But 30% of these over 50% of total players are relativly happy and only need some smal ajustments, so they are also part or the over 60% that seem to be mostly happy with the current system. I think the poll therefor served its purpose. But maybe talking a little more about my oppinions on the matter, in the original post, might have swayed more players to vote for my interests^^
But it is totally fine that not everyone wants what I want. We will see if the devs give us some goodys for the guilds

✭I have my own ideas and want to share them! (Write a comment!)I don't really need a UI overhaul for guilds, but I do feel like they're wasted as they currently are.... especially the ones that offer no active combat oriented skills. It would be great to see Zenimax add onto and expand the current guild skill lines with more abilities, especially Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild. I also wish they had some sort of reputation system (similar to alliance ranks) that gave access to things like titles, emotes/custom actions, guild themed personalities, etc. It would give more purpose to doing their dailies and add more replayability in general since I'm at a point where I do them until I get their associated achievement (sometimes I don't even bother doing that) then never touch them again.... and most people I know don't do them at all. Safe to say Zenimax would never do something like this as long as the crown store and monetization remains as is though.
And for RPG fluff reasons, I've kind of always wanted a house that was IN a guild. The mages guild in Gonfalon Bay is one of my favorite things and it breaks my heart that there's really no reason to ever go in and out of it. Being able to accomplish something in the game to earn access to a mage tower house or something of the like in a mages guild would be 10/10.Edited by fizzylu on March 11, 2024 12:22AM0 -

✭✭✭✭They are perfectly fine. skilllines that represent my progress and skills as rewards are all I need.Once you do the guild stuff on more than 3-4 characters, you don’t want anything to do with it ever again.

✭✭I do think they could be tweaked to more accurately represent their roles. The Mages Guild here lacks magical flavour, especially for the player. Their dailies are just fetch quests in public dungeons. Their main quest is not even about magic, it's about Sheogorath. I don't remember anything about the Fighters Guild aside from dolmen dailies.
I find the guilds a little dull here tbh, but as someone else pointed out, the one which really needs an overhaul is the Psijics, practically everything about them - their quest line, their skill lines. Their complete irrelevance after finishing their story.0 -

Nharimlur_Finor✭✭✭✭✭I have my own ideas and want to share them! (Write a comment!)'Cosmetic rewards' is a tautology.
I wont do the Pysjic questline again. Portal 'rewards' aren't worth the effort.
I won't do antiquarian quests either. Too much work for things that I won't use; and are likely to be yesterday's news by the time I get them.0 -

✭✭I have my own ideas and want to share them! (Write a comment!)I'd rework Fighters and Mages' Guild skill lines to have passives only (like Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood).
I'd also remove the "Intimidation" and "Persuasion" passives from them and I use them as a basis for a "Speechcraft" world skill line.
No idea about the Psijic line though, never cared much about it.1
