What would you like to see in ESO's future?

TDVM · July 6

Good balance of classes - that they would have their own personality

Good balance in pvp - that there would be no proc meta, that stat builds would be relevant, that there would be a variation of builds and play styles

That ZOS would listen to what the audience has to say - do not add unnecessary things like the house system that was announced on a recent stream, and before that keep everyone waiting for something "great"

Fixed the game engine that would be less bugs and opportunities to expand the gameplay, for example, that the polymorphs were normal and not as a molag bal with human legs or as with lich.

For the game to think about old players instead of forcing them to leave the game

So that the game doesn't become casual and simplistic.

New content to already released chapters

That would repaint skill, companions or something similar would not be served with the chapter and given to ALL and come up with a real "feature" for the chapter.

That the economy of the crown store would be normal and not with inflated prices.

- Some sort of furnishings "bag" or closet or special storage

- Instanced PvE in Cyrodil so a) achievements may be had without the inevitable ganking and b) the PvE aspect doesn't intrude on PvP players

- Fix PvP! I do not personally enjoy it, but there are many who do - and Cyrodil should be balanced, adjusted, etc., whatever it takes to make this game element actually work.

- Wand and shield would be nice for battle mage sorts

- Some indication ZOS listens to/pays attention to those of the PTS who give reams of feedback on proposed changes. The PTS players spend hours and hours testing the features and are in a unique position to provide detailed information on what works or doesn't. (The seeming ignoring of PTS feedback is a big reason why I quit the PTS.)

- It's too late now, but for reward titles, it surely would have been nice - and completely game-appropriate - to award certain titles to the player upon completion in the main game. "Eye of the Queen", for example, is a designation Ayrenn herself names the player in the main AD storyline ... yet the title is not awarded until/unless you finish the Galen storyline. "King's Arrow", I believe, was in the main Ebonheart storyline. :: shrugs :: Not important in the grand scheme of things, I suppose, but an irritant.

Here we go. Here is a list of what I would like to see in ESO (even if I know some of these things are impossible to implement in a short/mid-term):

Change the events or bring new ones, since they're often (always?) the same year after year;
Provide different music during battles (always the same);
Allow players to choose their own wallpaper for the game's home menu;
Add the possibility of having skill and attribute point reset stations in your home;
Add trial-related events (e.g. sell raid boss sets as for style page dungeons, etc.) in order to push trial group finder activity;
Give back the same number of transmutation stones as its cost to create an item when you deconstruct it;
More NPCs diversity (children, old men, beggars, more itinerant NPCs, etc.);
Make transmutation stones available for deconstructing Mythical items;
Change hair color without using a token;
Add Ray Tracing (possible?);
Introduce capes as some mods allow it in Skyrim;
Create new mounts with new assets instead of offering 20 Welvas with different skins;
Increase the difficulty of dungeons outside DLC, which have suffered from the DPS increase;
The same goes for the overworld: increase the overall difficulty and include dangerous enemies;
Diversify sources to obtain a same lead;
Provide more interaction with certain housing objects (chests of drawers, cupboards, sideboards that are currently useless, for instance);
Allow to skip mobs in dungeons (not always possible, see the first boss entrance at Coral Arie);
Fix the crosshair that sometimes shows you everything but the thing/player you're targeting;
Allow duels and Tales of Glory invitations to count in PvP/Tales of Glory level progression;
Review the RNG of certain leads;
Fix persistent crashes on PC;
Offer a better housing tool inspired by the Immaculate Construction addon, to make it easier to build structures;
Also for housing, review the placement grid system;
Adapt the Infinite Archives system and enable saving after a cycle/allow to skip first cycles when you did them several times before;
Fix the bugs that keep you in combat when enemies no longer appear on the compass or have been killed;
Lower the price of certain tokens, or even completely remove them, such as the name change token. This should be free;
Ajust the number of assignats received from master writs;
Allow more mounts to be purchasable from stables;
Be able to kill guards;
Offer real texture upgrades, especially for armor and weapons;
Share game & player/account statistics;
Allow in-game romances (like in Skyrim);
A chat channel for friends only (as for guilds);
Be able to report a player for abusive trial abandonment or introduce a "reputation" system;
Use AI to translate other languages (Russian, Chinese, etc.) towards your mother tongue;
Offer seamless transition between zones (WoW-style, with no loading times);
Increase/diversify the number of notable rewards obtainable through quests and game content (mounts, mansions, skins, polymorphs, etc.);
Add a free camera mode for screenshots or video captures (and let the player to hide other players).

More ambitious changes - No idea if it'd be technically possible:

Interactions with companions based on AI that keeps track of exchanges, as some Skyrim mods do;
Provide a safe tool for PO/Crown exchange;
Add Dagon Fel to the island of Vvardenfell and extend the explorable area of Summerset;
Integrate flying mounts.

Rebuild Cyrodiil on a new engine that can handle it and sell it as a separate game. Have all the sets for the new version available in Cyrodiil somehow and a population cap that reflects the demand for the game, even if that cap is 3000 players/faction.

how about better loot items .
1. based on lvl the higher your character the better the item
b. green blue purple gold
c.more gold based on lvl
d.random style page you havent aquired
e. saved the world many times and all we get is some crappy green item and a few gold
in books and movies saving the world usually gets you marry the kings daughter a castle land and
a ton of gold .
WE SHOULD GET RANDOM LRG HOUSE FULLY FURNISHED WE DONT OWN , A MILLION GOLD A RANDOM STYLE BOOK DONT HAVE AND A COMPLETE GOLD SET OF ARMOR AND JEWELRY FOR THAT CLASS .
FACE IT ITS ONLY FAIR I JUST SAVED THE WORLD !!!!!
OH. YEAH AND THERE SHOULD BE NON PVP SERVERS AND PVP SERVERS, I SHOULD BE ABLE TO GO TO ANY AREA AND NOT BE KILLED FOR JUST EXPLORING OR QUESTING .IF I WANT TO PARTAKE IN TAKING SCROLLS OR FORTS THEN I GO TO A PVP SERVER OR TURN THE PVP BUTTON ON .

Option for PC players to buy increased furniture item slots.

Idk why every update has to wait for PS4 players to be able to do it, too.

why specifically ps4?
old machines include Older PCs and Xbox One.

the pc minimum requirements got raised with update 41 to Windows 10 and hardware that's actually a few years older than the ps4 and xbox one, that's basically the same minimum requirements for pc and consoles.

regardless furnishing limits are unlikely to increase anytime soon, but if it does happen zos will obviously make announcements for it.
but not only for pc players as that would be absurd

Furnishings bag!

Daedric Titans and dragons roaming everywhere! Incursion events with HUNDREDS of monsters and npcs! Guards should be killable! Whole of Tamriel aught to be pvp-enabled! Questers aught to be killable in instances (so people cannot escape by entering their homes, and after you kill them setting fire to all the furniture would also be nice).
Overland difficulty should be EVERYTHING one-shots you, ESPECIALLY Guar.

This would lessen a lot of server load! Cut costs now!

Free to play model for the base game to generate new interest in the game again and increase numbers for the multiplayer activities, especially Cyrodiil. Potential new players are infinitely more likely to download and try something free than they are to spend $20 to see if a 10 year old game is worth playing. Bethesda/ZOS make almost all their money off the DLC, ESO+ subs, and Crown Store cosmetics in the store so making the base game free is just an easy way to expand the player base for us and generate more revenue for them.

The game also needs Crossplay, if nothing else but between consoles, because ESO is a game you invest hundreds if not thousands of hours into and then you're stuck losing all of that invested time and money if you ever plan on changing platforms. You also can't play with friends on other platforms.

They probably will. At least this sounds like it:

It was free to play on Epic a while back. Nightmare....
