    Subscription cancelled due to the following facts:

    - Zenimax implements more bugs from patch to patch
    - Zenimax does not care about the increasing instability of the game. People have more and more crashes Fix of memory bug decreased number of crashes considerably
    - Zenimax has still not fully fixed the fps drops they (!) implemented with patch1.2.3
    - Zenimax does nothing to fix the massive ability lags in PvP
    - Zenimax gives more attention to unnecassary 'content' like dyes for armors than fixing issues
    - In patchnotes Zenimax lies about bugs allegedly fixed
    - Zenimax has no plan as to how balance population in Cyrodiil campaigns
    - Support is ineffective and does not even speak in a way one can linguistically understand

    Not until they add underwater exploration/combat.

    I would like mounted combat though.

    Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?

    Yep. I think they have. But to implement it as well as that would require such huge changes to crafting and guild mechanics it's not going to happen. ESO needs to deliver on its promises before it begins chasing ambitious stuff, much as i'd love sea battles.

    You're not even specifying what you mean by sea battles!
    Do you mean underwater battles while exploring shipwrecks or hunting sunken treasure (made possible with Alteration or potions of waterbreathing) or ship battles a la Black Flag?

    More likely, though, you'd be immune to damage if standing under a sail, grappling hooks would have more DPS than swords, and there would be VR12 flying slaughterfish.

    I voted yes because:
    1. It would be cool if done right.
    2. What I've seen the creative department do with ships so far as been outstanding.

    *I do think there are more important things to focus on right now. Specifically anything that improves the social scene. Don't think sea battles would help in that area.

    There actually is a sea battle in the AD questline, complete with sea serpent. It was one of the best things I've experienced in the game.

    Yes naval battles could be interesting.

    Thoughts on ship ideas.

    Ebonheart Pact
    Light Ships
    Nords could bring a boarding variant of longboat.

    Argonian could say have a hist that shaped itself into a boat and tries to crush nearby boats with its branches.

    Dunmer would have sleek fast caravels.

    Heavy Ship

    A dwemer steam ships that Sotha Sil retrofitted to be piloted by none dwemer. Would have say steam cannons that fire at long range.

    Aldmeri Dominion
    Light Ships
    Altmer could bring a swift ship with a crystal array for magical bombardment.

    Khajite could say be a boarding ship that has a set of large cat looking claws to grab ahold of enemy ships.

    Bosmer since they can't easily use wood could maybe have a living ship like a giant turtle or something that they carved into its shell and is more of a ramming ship.

    Heavy Ship
    Aldmeri Warship with a large beam crystal array.

    Daggerfall Covenant
    Light Ships
    Brenton based on their whole merchant navy thing would have a balanced ship that can do a bit of everything but doesn't excel anywhere.

    Orcs would say have a bune inspired boarding ship.

    Redguards would bring their own skirmisher caravel.

    Heavy Ship
    While not the most inspired I'd say give them a large Galleon with battery of siege weapons.

    the quest where you fight with the ballista on the ship was a huge disappointment for me, you cannot even aim the ballista yourself.

    So much potential wasted there
    If naval battles were implemented, they need to be great.
    Insulting people on the internet is cowardly.

    What you said. It would take another developer, completely devoted to making that work.
    Funny how even the name of the pirate ship besieging Haven, the Jackdaw, is a reference to a game of Ubisoft...
