The caveat I would give for a lot of these though is that they are more Roleplay-focused things that still require unique animations.

The devs have made it very clear that older hardware is imposing limitations, and animations was one of those things. They in fact just released a patch to try to save space for animations (with mixed feedback), but there is still a finite space.

I know something like “we can’t put in a new class because we spent out entire animation space on making it so you can RP a boardgame in a tavern” is not an appropriate tradeoff for some players. I’d much prefer new gameplay that everyone can use instead of making something that is hyperspecific to RPers only.

They said they couldn't do it for a month until they fixed that issue a long time ago. And then we got a new class. I'm not saying that we can have infinite things but I don't think they'd ever have a situation where we could have RP or a new class. They'd probably sooner up the hardware requirements than have that.

However, Taverns would prob be only places where little fun would make sense, getting drunk with animations, eating food with animations while seated and doing arm wrestling on table, a small quick respite from the adventures if it fits your character in roleplaying sense to do so!

What if taverns had "secret" rooms for gamblers etc. that require a quest chain to access? These could take players to the same instanced game room regardless of which tavern the player entered from, increasing their chances of finding others to play with.

I know I've been against several of the ideas presented, but I'm actually warming up to this one. And I respect the amount of thought you put into your ideas.

Oh yeah for sure, this sounds good too, it doesn't have to directly be with in the Tavern space, but there could be some trap doors added that lead into game rooms.

You've been right to be against them, because you make good points! And you also propose them better than i did heh.

The only feature I really want to see (very very badly) now that we have multi-rider mounts is for them to give us mount-and-wagon type mounts that allow more than 2 players to ride. So a wagon driver and then maybe 4 - 7 other players who can get on and ride the wagon. (either 4 - 6 slots on the "back" of the wagon, and possibly an additional passenger seat at the front of the wagon with the driver).

But considering the actual logistics of that from both an animation and technical sync standpoint, I can see why it would be difficult.

But man, wouldn't it be cool to be able to see things like traveling wagon trains or have people roleplaying out actually traveling across zones instead of just fast-traveling around or having to deal with the jankyness of different mount speeds because you have maxed mount speed and that one person is still at 10% because they keep forgetting to get stables?

And unlike a lot of other suggestions I've seen here, its both functional, practical, and not immersion breaking.

It would be even cooler if there could be some way to customize what mount is pulling the wagon out of mounts you already own (and so that ZoS can still rake in the money on new releases, they could make different styles of wagons over time that you can slot your mounts into. Maybe when you set a wagon to "active" it gives you a drop-down menu to pick the mount from whatever you own), but considering I'm not going to hold my breath on even getting a basic horse and wagon, I'd take just about anything at this point.
