✭✭✭✭YesFor those unfamiliar, these messages are just composed of templates with specific words that players are allowed to place into slots, kind of like Mad Libs. There's no need to worry about players writing guild advertisements or obscene things, but rather I think this feature would bring the community together in a way. It's always fun finding notes in tricky to reach spots congratulating you, or telling you about a secret nearby.PC/NA — Lone Werewolf

Players got creative with the finger thing.

✭I don't play Dark Souls, Elden Ring, or Mad Libs (is that a game, or a function in a game?) mentioned here, so I don't know what this would look like. If it were, like, a specific spot that a book icon showed up, and that book contained all messages, that'd be okay.
I play No Man's Sky, though, and there's a Comm Ball in that game that you can use to leave messages. And on shared quests and expeditions, they can fill the entire area, to the point you *can't land your ship*, and they pop up on the screen whenever you get within their hit box. They drive me NUTS, to the point I turn off my network before I even start an Expedition.
Would this be anything like that?She/They

✭✭✭✭Sounds like something that could become pretty annoying pretty quickly in a big shared space with hundreds or thousands of players? Personally don't see why I'd be interested in leaving or reading such messages.
But hey if it's something popular and zos can be convinced it's worth adding, my request would be that it be implemented in a way that's not intrusive / can be toggled off or ignored by those with no interest.7 -

✭✭✭✭NoPlease, no.
That got to be so intrusive on the Soulsborne games. It'd be a flood of noise in a world this populated.5 -
NoThe same thing can be accomplished though zone chat, guild members, friends ect. I think people would abuse it by not using it for its intended purpose. It might benefit solo players to some small degree, but Eso is really about interaction. Or at least its meant to be. I think that should be encouraged.0

✭✭✭NoNo, this was terrible in Elden Ring. When I first started playing I was finding these messages and thinking they were important from the game, but I quickly realised they were irrelevant nonsense. I don't know why anyone would want this in any game.5 -

✭✭✭✭✭NoAlso remember that adding something like this means said messages would need to be saved server-side, meaning a massive server overhead needed to… drop a bunch of messages that people would still find a way to make lewd and giggle like a bunch of 12 year old boys?
Seriously, even though all of the words used are standard and not risqué, does anyone really think “Try Finger But Hole” means anything other than that?7 -

✭NoIt doesn't have the same place in a game where there are 20 other players constantly whirling around you with laser beams and explosions, potentially clearing out an entire delve before you even see the mobs. Allthewhile zone chat is advertising guilds and calling out world bosses, and lorebooks are already scattered around. And most enemies and puzzles do not present any form of genuine obstacle.
What benefit do you see from floor messages?3 -

✭✭NoCan vote No more than once? The poster who mentioned NMS - that, that exactly. Same with Elden Ring, if there is a way for people to be "creative" in publicly viewable messaging, they will find it.1
