Focus on bug fixes and making combat fun again. Diversify viable builds for veteran and hardmode content. Leave beams good but give us other options when we get bored with beaming.

They are already working on this Class Balance including revamping this New skill lines (Either entire new skill lines or new schola/weapons skills) along with Visual skill design (visual revision and enhancement of current existing skills).

While they have said they are also working on Game Difficulty (Focusing on overall player feedback regarding both the difficulty of overland and dungeon content), that would be pointless without the class revamp, as would New Class.

Not entirely sure what you mean by NPC Interactions (Enhancing npc AI Ex: not running back after a certain distance at least in Delves and dungeons, regaining full health and being immortal).

They have already explained why Housing (More items, storage possibilities? I am ignorant here) has limitations.

2026 Content pass will likely feature Overland content (good quests, new interesting map designs) and More Dungeons as always.

As for More Infinite content for groups (like endless archive) ... just run vDSA - trust me, it will feel like an eternity.

I mean good, this is a poll about what the main focus should be, so they are acting correctly based on it, if anything they should cut the content pass entirely with the current results. I run vDSA, it's not that long with the right team, vDSA has little to do with Infinite Archives, besides vDSA is a piece of cake provided everyone knows the basics of it. Infinite archive becomes hard no matter what after a while. Granted NPC interaction is a broad term, as I mentioned before this could be interactions with companions/town npcs (have city reputation baased on your interactions with npcs or have a like/dislike bar with each npc of the city individually and perks/cons based on it).

And by class balance, I mean getting rid of subclassing. We survived without it for 10 years, if they remove it, we're not losing much.

*multiclassing and I think it's the opposite, it showed where the main issues have been all this years by enhancing it tenfold frankly. I am not against it at all, although I completly agree that the lack of overall balance has never been worse due to the lack of right precautions being made beforehand, it felt very rushed and out of nowhere.

There's always going to be new overland content every single year, that's a given, because they need a new shiny to entice new players every year. What I've always wanted was a One Hand & Rune weapon skill line. It's how I always played my character in Skyrim and it'd be great to play it here.

Real-estate is the real endgame.

If next year's content is as lackluster as Writhing Wall, all those other options are not going to matter much.

With how much unfinished stuff is on ZoS's plate, taking a year break from new content to finish "ongoing" reworks and improving systems would be preferable at this point honestly. However, that isn't going to happen since ESO has pigeonholed itself into this seasonal content release schedule with Chapters even before the Season pass model. I remember when they said that 2025 was supposed to be the year they really focus on Quality of Life, and while we did see a few improvements this year like swimming mounts and unidentified surveys, it was overall low impact. I was disappointed to see yet another two unstackable runeboxes released this year with the Witches Festival when they already know how bad inventory management is, and also right after they finally cleaned up surveys.

As long as ZoS is focused on the next content release, what needs to be worked on will only get postponed again and again indefinitely. This is why nobody believes in the class rework, especially not when there are far older things that were never completed even years later.

Performance

Recent patches have made the game choppy (for me, and I know I have enough headroom on my system. Other posts have mentioned similar)

Improving visuals WITHOUT taking anything away or nerfing things like animations. Give players the option to disable OTT effects so that older hardware can cope without diluting the overall experience for everyone.

Be honest with yourselves and the community about how you want the game to present and maybe consider raising minimum specs to take that into account?

I need Whiterun.
I need Winterhold.
I need Riverwood.
And, I need throat of the world.

No---More---Small---World, and nonsense event.

pvp

I need fun and excitement to play all my classes, so please fix and make them woth playing again beside this stupid subclassing.

I don't know about "main focus" but I would like them to do something about the trading system. The idea of preventing players from being able to sell in a sensible way except via guild membership is fundamentally wrong headed and makes selling in the player economy either highly irritating or plain inaccessible for a large chunk of the player base. It needs to be addressed and affects other gameplay. For example, housing is presumably seen as a way to keep players engaged in the game. But the way trading is currently set up means that for many players housing devolves into a maddening, unsatisfying grind fest rather than a pleasure.

Fixing Grey Host.

...the only part of the game that matters to me and many others.

If there is no new overland content for an entire year, then I’m just not going to play - as simple and as brutal as closing the last page of a book series that refuses to add a new volume. This game lives and dies, for me, in the pulse of STORY and QUESTLINES. If that spark goes out, if the world stops growing, then my will to linger in it dims too.

Take that away for a whole year, and what’s left? Replaying the same storylines we already have, with a new shiny class/skill lines, or balanced classes, or new animations? No thanks.

Give me another Orisinium. Or Summerset. The game desperately needs a memorable content release.

It's a toss between Class balance, and Overland content for me.

I am on maintenance mode since a few months, and before that since a few couple of years, but ok I vote class balance not because of me, but because it's best for the game imo, it's what a game should aim for. If it is serious that is.

Overland is what I personally aim to do now foremost, though. I do not need balance, and power (ie an arcanist beam), for that.

Cheers
