What endeavors would you give to the Devs?

SilverBride · November 30

Fix 5 bugs a week
Respond to feedback asking for information
Perform additional quality control before releasing new features
Lower the cost of crowns
Make crown only houses accessible more frequently

KalevaLaine · November 30

I think it is a good selection.

But I would give only 10 seals per, not 15.

Endeavours are busy work. Un-important tasks that you'd likely complete at some point, but are forced to do that particular day. As such:

Make 5 coffees
Discuss an idea with a colleague for 10 minutes
Place 2 items on your desk that you don't need or want there
Take 10 files out of storage
Engage in a Kirk/Spock style death match with your boss

I have to disagree that making coffee is an unimportant task.

I have to disagree with your disagreement; ; I need coffee in the morning to replenish my energy reserves. And for that, I need a large amount of that hot, black life-giving elixir.

And I know that programmers can turn hot, black coffee into good code — a lack of coffee seems to me to be the reason for some serious errors in that program code..

I think we are on the same side. I disagreed that making coffee is unimportant. Fixing a cup of coffee is the first thing I do every morning!

Lol! Give them endeavors?!
They removed our animations, they broke the game to the point where skills don’t even fire, Heavy Attacks don’t fire…
And you want to give them endeavors?! What in the hell…

But okay, here goes:

Read the code before making any change
Add more people who actually play the game to the QA team
Add more time spent fixing issues instead of creating new ones
Add more honesty when something is broken rather than pretending it’s "working as intended"
Add some respect for players who still stick around despite all this

And for the weekly:

Explain why is it that fixing bugs always creates more bugs, but adding new items to the Crown Store never creates a bug that makes them free.

because when things like this happen the store is taken down IMMEDIATELY

What does that even mean!?
We also pay for ESO Plus, we also pay for the game, we also pay for the DLCs… so there has to be some other reason.

Maybe it takes 20 devs to check the code just to add one item to the Crown Store, but only a senior developer to fix a bug, and since the server go online it means he did a great job and no further checks are needed??

It's just a fun way to say "What would you like to see the Devs do?"

Well, I’ve read so many things on this forum that at this point I believe anything. I honestly thought you were seriously suggesting giving them Endeavors after all this madness. Not Endeavors specifically, but some kind of reward for the chaos we have today.

Well I honestly would like to see them have to do the endeavors that have been suggested! These are things I think they should already be doing!

This was explained years ago - the code is spaghetti. Though I would like them to confirm my sneaking suspicion that new bugs in existing systems is because they have a backgroud project to tidy up the original code.

Al_Ex_Andre · November 30

Everytime I read "Coffee" in english I smile

It's Café or caffee...or should be

1 - say that they acknowledge the bug you are telling, and that they will fix it asap, and they fix it finally
2 - make the crowns/gold exchange securized and via a dedicated interface (in EN - FR - DE - Etc auto-translation)
3 - makes magicka dps (w or w/o destruction staff you choose) viable again
4 - make dps/healers templars use shields with staff/2H maybie, ultimately with spears (or staff w/ old jabs animation inspiration, more distinctable thu)
5 - make success points as the number you want to bear in game, on your character, and add even more success...!!

Weekly: nuke lag for good, and speed up character loading time to zero like a hero, even with tons of addons selected

NB: my disguised wishlist

AzuraFan · November 30

Daily:

- Find a purple or gold antiquity lead from a treasure map
- Aggro something and then run at least 300 m to get out of combat
- Buy "Crafting Motif 54: Bloodforge bows" from a guild trader, without using addons to find out where it's for sale
- Using the gamepad UI, deconstruct 100 items using "deconstruct multiple"
- Fire 25 skills in a row exactly 1 second apart. If a skill doesn't fire, the chain is broken and you have to start over

Weekly:

Complete 7 DLC dungeons with pugs

Okay, maybe that's harsh.

I'll try again.

Daily:

- Eat at least one real-life chocolate
- Make Scritches pettable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Ride your mount at least 1 km in your favourite zone and admire the art, which is usually stunning
- Use a musical instrument emote (love those!)
- Make any feline non-combat pet active and enjoy their antics

Weekly:

- Change your companion at least once a day. Each time you do, wear matching outfits and use matching mounts.

I guess my input was maybie too much serious or not as funny.

This is a serious and honest question, no rage or negativity intended.

Does anyone know if the developers actually play ESO themselves, including veteran trials, hard modes & dungeons? I’m genuinely curious.
Or all they do is stream the game, decorate their house, and walk around the map while farming some flowers?

Well the BG live stream made it abundantly clear that their lead combat/PvP dev doesn't play regularly. When the former streamer in the game asked what set was yanking him around all the time (obviously RoA), the lead combat dev didn't even know. We can also tell by their build that they haven't played any PvP for at least a couple years or they'd have an updated build.

So if the lead combat/PvP dev doesn't play with any kind of regularity it safe to assume the same is for others, and they others probably play the game even less.

BixenteN7Akantor · December 1

I guess it depends on what information you ask to devs, but I got an answer after only 2h30 when I asked something about Daedric Arches. Though the answer was "I'll ask the devs about this and answer next week" and it has been 3 weeks, but with all the Writhing Fortress crunch bug fixes devs had to do in a rush I don' t mind waiting a bit for something dating back to 2014 lol.

katanagirl1 · December 1

I’m going to take a serious approach based on my own pet peeves:

1. Complete a two team Capture the Relic BG against a team of wardens all with charm and RoA
2. Complete a dlc trial with no team members having subclassed skills or wearing anything other than crafted gear
3. Loot a thieves trove during prime time
4. Kill a Patrolling Horror during Whitestrake’s Mayhem without being ganked
5. Complete the Kill 150 Enemy Players Conquest Board daily quest while solo

BretonMage · December 1

Weekly endeavor:

Complete the codex entries for ONE blue or purple level antiquity in West Weald (not including the Grand Ayleid Tree).

it means at least once that i remember, they put something in the crown store for the wrong price (too low) and immediately shut down the whole store. so if there was a bug in the crown store that made something free, you can bet they would shut the whole store down and make sure it was completely fixed (new fix it bugs and all) before bringing it back up.

I see. I don’t remember that happening, but yeah, it’s something that could happen.
Anyway, what does that say about a company that can take the store down, and even all the servers if needed, just to avoid losing money from the Crown Store, but when it comes to fixing the broken game, we have to wait for an update with no timeframe in sight…
