I’d love to see them add more slots to the paid chest we buy. 60 slots ain’t very much especially when you have hundreds of armor housing items and more that people keep and hoard. For what you pay for a cheats to store stuff in should be a minimum of 100 to 150 storage chest
ive been waiting for a cross play announcement for a long while now. hopefully next year, because then it will technically (see what i did there) would be the 10 year anniversary for console players
Criss okay between Xbox and PlayStation consoles? Yes. Cross play of those with PC? Absolutely never going to happen and if you think it should you're out of your god damn mind. It would nuke the entire eso economy.
Star Wars: The Old Republic has the option of "Story", Normal and "Veteran" game difficulty. Which changes for the player so they can get a leveling challenege if they want.
The only reason I stopped playing the game was the quest's difficulty. I spent months working on awesome builds, but they only shine in group content. During quests I would stick to L or H attacks only. Lame.
I quit playing ESO because of the boss fights are frustrating because if you die the boss goes back to full health and that is really f-ing lame in my book. At 70yrs of age there should be a old person setting because my reflects are not what they were even 10yrs ago. I have slower reaction times.

This looks like something to actually, finally, set ESO apart from other MMOs that they have needed for a long time. How that turns out in practice, however, is another story entirely. I'm going to keep my expectations tempered for now, but I do look forward to seeing how they implement this system, how effective it is, and how/if they continue to build off of it.
@nervosadustbolt9642 That's the funny thing, I'm not playing it. I've been playing GW2 and FF14 since Greymoor, with maybe slight dips back in every now and then. But the fact of the matter is there isn't anything this game does currently that really sets it apart from other MMOs. FF14 and GW2 have had roguelike modes in their games for almost a decade before ESO, FF14 has the more advanced and in depth crafting and gathering system, GW2 has better events in the open world to make the world feel alive, WoW has the more robust modding line up, all 3 have better PvP scenes. Gameplay wise, ESO hasn't really had too much outside of selectable skills (with definitive good and bad choices), fully voiced questlines, and companions to make the easy game even easier. No game has a system the let's you create and customize how a skill looks or feels though (not officially anyways), and that's something that can make a bigger impact to the game than the other aspects that have been added. (Let's be honest, Antiquities were fun for a bit, but if you aren't aiming for Mythics or a low effort gold farm, then they're kinda useless.)
Odd. Every update I see them add every year is them trying to be MORE like other theme park mmos. Not sure how this sets them apart. Everyone will use the same exact meta skills period. Either for pvp, or pve.
Cross play is always nice to have/talked about adding. I personally would like an engine upgrade to make the beautiful world better, and it should definitely help with limitations they may have been running into with the current engine. One more thing I wish they would add would be a one handed skill line or a spell blade skill line you could call it. Being able to use a skill that does melee damage and then follow up with like a flame spell all in one attack would be so cool. Not sure exactly how it would fit in the current skill rotations or work in end game content but for the RPG element of ESO it would fill me with joy. Plus look at all the new builds you could come up with.
Swapping out the entire game engine is most likely never gonna happen, It was built on a specific engine and as someone in the 3d industry i dont think that will be worth the effort involved to do something like that.

Cool feature, but man, they NEED to extend these to class skills as well. I understand the sentiment that it's good that they're targeting class-wide skills as they're available to everyone, but it's to the detriment of class identity and we'll probably never see classes get expanded upon, like making a proper summoner necromancer. Now you'll just be a regular necromancer with a vault bow skill.
I would think that they're eventually planning on it, but it would be a more expansive change. So they start with the skills that all classes have access to and eventually go through all of the class skills when they have time
I agree. It would be nice to see something along the lines of augmenting the necro pet skills to last until killed or dismissed much like the sorc pets. Something else I would like to see would be the ability to change/alter the look of some spells/pets. For example the warden's bear pet, why can't it be a wolf, panther, or even just give it some color variations like Polar bear or Black Bear! Even something as small as being able to change the color of skills would be nice, purple lightning, green fire, red arcanist beams! I know that I'd like to see my sorc be able to summon something other than a daedra even if the skill line is called Daedric Summoning...Maybe that breaks lore or whatever but in terms of flavor it feels weird playing a "goodly" character using what are essentially demons/monsters as pets. Maybe thats just me though.
They destroyed class identity long time ago. Homogenizing everything has been happening for a while, now it's just the same type of spell with a different name/animation.
I really hope werewolf isn't left behind again, they're already so underpowered and limited as is, they could really use the new scribing feature. We could finally get access to so many things that have neen holding werewolf back for ages, taunts, more group support options, all kinds of things. Plus Werewolf mains have been asking for skins for our werewolf form for ages and with ability skins this can finally happen. But knowing ZoS, the only attention werewolf will get will be another inexplicable and undeserved nerf, if they don't just continue to neglect them instead.
@@kingkaz12 yeah that is true, but the problem is that to tank they NEED that five piece set just to be able to taunt, they need to use an entire five piece set just to be able to do the core function of a tank. Which really holds them back as tanks, as that's one entire set option taken for something all other tanks can do with a single slotted ability. Plus it uses their pounce ability, while a good aoe taunt when using brutal pounce, the fact it turns into the bleed dot ability after first use often makes it expensive on stamina.
@@Caitlycan I agree it's not optimal to use a 5 piece set to taunt, it isn't what we want but to be fair, WW tanks aren't exactly optimal in general. They're primarily damage dealers and probably seen more in PvP. A good trade off for needing Tormentor is the ability to have an AOE taunt you get, and the fact you bring Minor Courage to the group when using the pack leader morph so you don't need to wear a staple tanking set in Yolna. As for the sustain part, you could use the Hunt Leader set from Maelstrom Arena for sustain and I think heals, or whatever the set is called in there. But still, even with what I've said I agree it'd be nice if you could use the Scribing feature using the WW line. Add pulls and taunting to skills, maybe major and minor breach so you don't lose out on the lack of Pierce Armor.
The most important thing to skill recognition is the sound not so much it’s color. For this reason games like Overwatch has different colors for each time part of their competitive league. This way a viewing audience will associate the sounds with the abilities even if the same characters are on both sides.
They still need to have a middle ground on dungeons and trials. Normal needs a hard mode that is between the base and vet so we can teach new players mechanics. It would allow some players who aren't sweats to get into that type of content. It's hard to bring enough people that haven't done certain vet trials into the trial without having to have enough core players to finish it. The housing cap needs to be upped or allow us the option to combine several furnishings into one piece. I look around at some of the places and know that there are far more than 700 pieces, so these larger houses need much more space to bring them to life. As far as crossplay, that would be tough, PC has so many add ons that console doesn't have access to, could very easily mess up PVP.
One piece of customization I would like is being able to change hair color, like how they have different hair types in collections. You could also change your hair color from there.
Played for years, haven't had it in me to start over on pc since I was on ps4. Cross save or progression would be awesome and I would definitely return for that
I hope, with the bend towards quality of life changes they seem to be on, that we see a quest replay come soon. Having decade-old characters who've done everything basically shelved when it comes to playing with friends is really sad, and being able to replay quests would mean we could revisit those areas without having to start from scratch.
I’d pay extra for vet zones tbh, even though it should of course be a free thing xD but ya I would enjoy questing so much more if I actually had to think during combat
My main issue with ESO is inventory management and selling items. I have characters full of stuff and it is so freaking painful to try and figure out what is worth selling, and then to sell it. The whole concept of local traders that guilds have to pay for is just annoying (and then there are still listing and transaction fees on top of that). The whole thing just feels so clunky, and I just avoid dealing with it until my character's inventories and banks are so full I have no choice but to deal with it. It takes me hours using third party mods and websites to figure out what is worth selling and then figure out what to price things at to sell them. They really need a global auction house like in Guild Wars 2 that anyone can access without having to be in a trading guild, with real-time listings that are searchable.
Give me my monk class. Literally, the animations can all be recycled from like damn near dual wielding for example,rapid punches to include maybe a stun CC rope swing. New weapon skill line either a pole arm or knuckles like other MMOs. Idk it’s all there to include WOULDN’T BREAK LORE BUT PROMOTE IT. if anything that class should of been introduced with the dragons. Come on guys we waited long enough lol
I'm worried that scribing will make some of the current gear obsolet. For example: Why should I still wear turning tide and drakes rush on my tank if I can get major vulnerability and major heroism for the group through skills? The thought to reequip all my chars is not a pleasant one.
@@klausvanderknut928 the same thing than currently : Time, ressources, skill slot and synergy between set. In pvp expert hunter/camouflaged hunter/evil hunter or Magelight/ inner light/ Radiant magelight are super usefull. Though. Few people really use them because of their theory build and skill slot. And if they use them it's through potions mostly
@@klausvanderknut928As a player that has played for years, this so called change has happened multiple times throughout eso. Many times even devaluing classes themselves.
Finally! i have been waiting for so long im not only excited but im also happy it feels like the wish of my life has finally come true !! i cant even expres how happy im rn man
With the scribing systems, I'm most looking forward to using the various weapons with builds that never would have used them. ie MagDK using a bow to drop fire volleys etc. Hopefully this is the case
@@terminalvelocity4858 As unfortunate as it is, that's something I am willing to overlook so long as we get it. The alternative is we don't have it at all.
in eso will be everything friends it will be never be stopped until cover all eras at some point and all canon stories that not even included to offline games so eso will continue for so many years with new contents stay tuned
It's high time for ZOS to introduce Oceania/Asia megaserver. I've been playing with over 300 Ping in EU Server from Australia for over 4 years. And if they do finally introduce it, please let us keep our progression from EU, even only for a limited time.
Hey Hack, your videos are the best ESO news and tip channel on TH-cam! BTW, when a game developer tells you, "that would be really difficult to do...", that is 100% a no. Cross play is so not ever going to happen between console and PC.
Economy is a problem for crossplay? Great opportunity to remove the stupid guild traders and just add an auction house. I play the game intermintently and it sucks how I always have to search for a guild just to be able to sell. Not even talking about how annoying it is to use a webpage and then jump across the world to buy stuff in different places... when it wasnt already sold... Terrible system
There's an ongoing forum thread on this. Literally every mmorpg has some sort of central AH but these ESO shills vehemently reject the idea and tell you to use addons or f off (console players)
@@ryuzakikazeshini4012 eso isn't like every other mmorpg guild traders aren't the problem having them so spread that you have to check multiple traders to find what you want
Definitely would love a Wood Elf companion, wish we would of gotten a Warden Bosmer pal instead of an Argonian. Still love Sharp though, I just wonder what classes they will be because we're only missing a necro companion.
The new companions interest me. Each previous one has been based on a player class, but there is only the necromancer left. If they keep this pattern, what will the 8th companion be? A new upcoming class not yet announced? An an alternate of one of the other companions, or something not class-related? Can't stop speculating to myself.
I have an idea but i don't know how to call it :D What would bring me back is turning down the spamming in combat, so the idea: a slider that multiplies Damage/Effect with Stam/Magic cost. For example 3x more Dmg for 3x more Stamina cost.
Still waiting for an mmo that enables solo playing for end-game activities and BiS loot. It's been a long wait. SWTOR did it for a bit but then they went back to retard-mode.
If theres a drop down box with resource cost. Does that not imply you could make a ultimate skill? I would love to make a permanent pet for my Templar.
The golden road looks like an interesting twist with it's spell crafting. Hopefully eso will in the future at least allow you to switch your account between consoles and PC before cross play.
@@firstlast-wg2onit’s certainly very easy I just do random vet dungeons as a tank with a complete mess of a build and get through it because dps can carry so easily.
We can change our Alligiance. We can respec our Attributes and Skills... but the most frustrating thing is STILL not being able to change Classes! Alot of players want to try another class without the hassel of starting a new character (Especially when they are over lvl 50 already)
@@ciphergamingsouthafrica8502 almost twice as many players, in the past month ESO has averaged about 12k concurrent players, and FFXIV has averaged about 20k. it is undeniably a more popular game, regardless of if you like it or not.
I hope the housing change has to do with buying a blank piece of property where you guild your own place. That would mean a lot more craft able building items like exterior walls, interior walls, roofs, etc. Everything you'd need to build your own special place. They have something like that in EverQuest 2, which I made Player Studio stuff for those uses.
Hey i need some HELP. so i made my account 6 months ago but i accidentally typed the email addres wrong, that email does not exist but i can still play with the account. How do i change the email of my account
personnalisation proper avail in both store and in game . Like odd number option are in store . But even number are in game ? Meaning different ? This could be game changer personalisation wise .crossplay usually is ps xbox
I'm a solo player so I can see styles being 'pretty', but I have concerns about group play. If your group members can't recognize the skills you're using, won't this make group play harder? Or less...groupy? I also have concerns about ZOS' ability to make scripting work in actual game play. They seem to have trouble enough balancing game play as is, how will they balance this explosion of customization? Interesting times ahead.
So here is what I'm a little worried about...I sorta worry at the moment that Scribing might be A LITTLE gimicky. I still think it's very cool based on what we've seen and heard, but for instance, if these skills we are given DO NOT have Morphs like normal skills...then IDK, it seems less like "here's a new way to play your old skills" rather more like "Screw morphs, now you can just change whether this attack heals, poisons or does fire damage!" and yet it's the same skill pretty much. On the other hand, Morphs (which frankly seem JUST AS CLOSE if not closer to a "spellcrafting" concept) can actually totally change the skill itself functionally AND visually. I'll be more interested if they end up showing in the future being able to alter existing skills as well but even still, if they keep giving us more Scribing skills on every weapon skill bar, I'd be cool with that. More skills is something I've desired for a while because I want MORE build variety instead of just instantly knowing "oh, they have a bow, they're going to use these 2 skills and none of the others on the Bow line". I played Guild Wars 1 and found the skill variety AWESOME. There are dozens of skills you could choose from and some you had to unlock by killing bosses that were around different zones/map areas. That sort of idea really appeals to me, it makes me feel like you have had to EARN your skills and conveys this sense of "I have mastered the art of Bowmanship" instead of "Oh I got another level, now I get another skill". I think a combination of both ideas is best...naturally earning access to certain skills but having to earn other skills. At present, I DEFINITELY love the idea of skill styling. As a Path of Exile player, skill effect changes really allow you to customize your build and allow you to fully embody whatever roleplay you have in mind or just color code your stuff for that aesthetic desire. But I REALLY HOPE they keep it rather tame...there shouldn't be bright rainbow explosions going off everywhere like Guild Wars 2. I think it should just be enhancements or slight changes on current skills. Like let's take Snipe from the Bow skill line. Maybe instead of it being a bland arrow being shot at an enemy, it will show a more interesting wind up animation with a better sound effect and more impactful look as the arrow pierces through the air and makes contact with the intended target.
Merging characters with cross play could be challenging, but I would live with having 1 set of characters if that happened! Even combine NA and EU characters, Crowns, purchases, etc. Then I would be able to play the same character(s) wherever!
Yeah like i would prefer being able to edit the existing ones (IE making Warden's Winter's Embrace skill line use stamina or changing Noxious Breath into a Fire/Magicka ability) myself but I can see how balancing 10-ish new skills was far more doable than every skill in the game. Styling is nice, like we'll see how long having thing earnable in game lasts as this is still ZoS but if we can get less morrowind-themed Warden skills i'm in.
This might be old video but I wonder if some day they are giung to add some ranger/hunter class ( I would like a guild too but it's not lore friendly, since there never were terms known as rangers there, hunter was just a normal job to do)
I would like to be able to customise colour of my des staff attacks and corresponding skills, so my fire staff can be Templar fire colours or green lightning etc
@@UltrEgoVegeta thats like saying thenonly qol he wants is to not have to level up every character or get every skillshard, hes complaining about something pretty dumb but when hes called out youre like "wHaT a ShIt tAkE"
@josephg.1.130 it is a shit take mount upgrades should be account wide. Skyshards I'm fine hunting them, but having to start out on a slow ass mount is just plain stupid. Just like his shit take.
it will be nice when they learn how to make it to where we make our own character from start to finish. And I mean if they add this to the character at start with all types of skills/spells our character learns and this would include crafting as well.
I really wish i could transfer my pc account to my xbox. My computer is not what it used to be anymore, and i dont want to buy a new one just for ESO since i play everything else on my xbox. So it would be nice to be able to keep going after 10 years whitout losing everything ( a lot of money in extension, and cosmetics etc)
Does spell crafting mean my Warden summon something other than a bear yet? Never liked the bear and never understood why it was picked for a class that came with Morrowind and whose other skills have critters indigenous to Morrowind, which has no bears. Not saying Warden should only have Morrowind critters, just that the bear was conspicuously out of place from the start, all things considered. Personally, I would love to see some welwa and durzog options.
I assume they will make it so we have to grind for months, maybe even years for scribing components and materials. or just pay for it like they did with motifs
@@axiomcomplex5579 I have been playing the game for 4 years, a few hours every day when I get home from work. And in all that time I only ever managed to find one motif
You will grind for months to get what you want, and it will be awesome and then ZoS will change it to be barely usable shortly thereafter. But hey, at least they already have your money, right?
I'd be fine with just an updated combat system rather than playing a ps3 game. At the end of the day it's just my opinion but the combat system is just so boring, it's stagnant and feels as if you are making no impact. It's super outdated and unfun. I guarantee if they just took the time to update and make it more interesting, they'd have no problem reaching double the players they have now. @@zedorian6547
I don't see how it wouldn't be worth it, game would no longer look like a ps3 game, they would be able to implement a combat system that is fun and they'd be able to expand on the game with less limitations @@XavierMathewsEntertainment
ESO’s overland content in alpha was legitimately difficult. We would kit players out and coach them on how to fight Mannimarco and they’d still fail. They couldn’t dodge roll at all. This was a huge problem because it meant they couldn’t even do Cadwell’s silver or gold. When launch rolled around, content got wayyyy easier. I agree that there could be a + difficulty mode, but I also think a lot of elder scrolls fans are older and ZOS knows where their bread is buttered.
Just sharing Crowns and purchases across platforms would be good. DB synchronization is not a really hard problem. I am playing on both PC and PS5 now. I like addons much more on PC, but playing on a 70 inch TV is fun for my PS5. They should be making 1-5 Quality of Life changes each update. Those would add up over time! Only having a quarter or two here is weak sauce.

For example the warden's bear pet, why can't it be a wolf, panther, or even just give it some color variations like Polar bear or Black Bear! Even something as small as being able to change the color of skills would be nice, purple lightning, green fire, red arcanist beams! I know that I'd like to see my sorc be able to summon something other than a daedra even if the skill line is called Daedric Summoning...Maybe that breaks lore or whatever but in terms of flavor it feels weird playing a "goodly" character using what are essentially demons/monsters as pets. Maybe thats just me though.
I believe they said they would be adding additional grimoire 'skills' to the skill lines at a later date.
They destroyed class identity long time ago. Homogenizing everything has been happening for a while, now it's just the same type of spell with a different name/animation.
I hope they just add more summoning skills
I hope they give some love to vampires and werewolfs specially with the scribing system.
I really hope werewolf isn't left behind again, they're already so underpowered and limited as is, they could really use the new scribing feature. We could finally get access to so many things that have neen holding werewolf back for ages, taunts, more group support options, all kinds of things.
Plus Werewolf mains have been asking for skins for our werewolf form for ages and with ability skins this can finally happen.
But knowing ZoS, the only attention werewolf will get will be another inexplicable and undeserved nerf, if they don't just continue to neglect them instead.
Ww are annoying , leave them in the past b along with all furrys
Werewolves can taunt if they use the Tormentor set.
@@kingkaz12 yeah that is true, but the problem is that to tank they NEED that five piece set just to be able to taunt, they need to use an entire five piece set just to be able to do the core function of a tank.
Which really holds them back as tanks, as that's one entire set option taken for something all other tanks can do with a single slotted ability.
Plus it uses their pounce ability, while a good aoe taunt when using brutal pounce, the fact it turns into the bleed dot ability after first use often makes it expensive on stamina.
@@Caitlycan I agree it's not optimal to use a 5 piece set to taunt, it isn't what we want but to be fair, WW tanks aren't exactly optimal in general. They're primarily damage dealers and probably seen more in PvP.
A good trade off for needing Tormentor is the ability to have an AOE taunt you get, and the fact you bring Minor Courage to the group when using the pack leader morph so you don't need to wear a staple tanking set in Yolna. As for the sustain part, you could use the Hunt Leader set from Maelstrom Arena for sustain and I think heals, or whatever the set is called in there.
But still, even with what I've said I agree it'd be nice if you could use the Scribing feature using the WW line. Add pulls and taunting to skills, maybe major and minor breach so you don't lose out on the lack of Pierce Armor.
As someone who quit cause pvp was never ending howling and overpowered werewolfs... I can't say I am sad to see this...
If they can institute "normal/veteran" options for dungeons, etc., it would be very nice to have the same type of option available for zone play.
The most important thing to skill recognition is the sound not so much it’s color. For this reason games like Overwatch has different colors for each time part of their competitive league. This way a viewing audience will associate the sounds with the abilities even if the same characters are on both sides.
They still need to have a middle ground on dungeons and trials. Normal needs a hard mode that is between the base and vet so we can teach new players mechanics. It would allow some players who aren't sweats to get into that type of content. It's hard to bring enough people that haven't done certain vet trials into the trial without having to have enough core players to finish it. The housing cap needs to be upped or allow us the option to combine several furnishings into one piece. I look around at some of the places and know that there are far more than 700 pieces, so these larger houses need much more space to bring them to life. As far as crossplay, that would be tough, PC has so many add ons that console doesn't have access to, could very easily mess up PVP.
It would be nice if we can also change the color of our Class skill lines. I would like to change my beam to red :D
Man I seriously hope with whatever this new housing feature is, that it includes more furniture slots. I need like 1500 slots 😂😂
One piece of customization I would like is being able to change hair color, like how they have different hair types in collections. You could also change your hair color from there.
Overland Difficulty would be my birthday and Christmas gift together!
Played for years, haven't had it in me to start over on pc since I was on ps4. Cross save or progression would be awesome and I would definitely return for that
I hope, with the bend towards quality of life changes they seem to be on, that we see a quest replay come soon. Having decade-old characters who've done everything basically shelved when it comes to playing with friends is really sad, and being able to replay quests would mean we could revisit those areas without having to start from scratch.
They need to let us Vet Zones. Quick fix and makes a lot of ppl happy for multitude of reasons. More challenge, repeatability, better gear farming.
I’d pay extra for vet zones tbh, even though it should of course be a free thing xD but ya I would enjoy questing so much more if I actually had to think during combat
Custom Taunts would definitely add a lot more versatility to tanks, especially if you can make it ranged / pull
ok now i'm interested
I hope they add companions to the base game, perhaps one per alliance and one in coldharbour (a dremora maybe!)
Isnt there a companion in the uhhh whatever the top left alliance 8s

@@ryueldragonborn4145 daggerfall covenant i think but dont quote me on that
Played ESO for 6 years its still the best in my own opinion enjoy all the new content and looking forward to the new DLC
My main issue with ESO is inventory management and selling items. I have characters full of stuff and it is so freaking painful to try and figure out what is worth selling, and then to sell it. The whole concept of local traders that guilds have to pay for is just annoying (and then there are still listing and transaction fees on top of that). The whole thing just feels so clunky, and I just avoid dealing with it until my character's inventories and banks are so full I have no choice but to deal with it. It takes me hours using third party mods and websites to figure out what is worth selling and then figure out what to price things at to sell them.
They really need a global auction house like in Guild Wars 2 that anyone can access without having to be in a trading guild, with real-time listings that are searchable.
Nice breakdown of what's to come! Overall good video!
Give me my monk class. Literally, the animations can all be recycled from like damn near dual wielding for example,rapid punches to include maybe a stun CC rope swing. New weapon skill line either a pole arm or knuckles like other MMOs. Idk it’s all there to include WOULDN’T BREAK LORE BUT PROMOTE IT. if anything that class should of been introduced with the dragons. Come on guys we waited long enough lol
Are you excited for Scribing? Why or why not?
Think it adds flavor to the game!!! Interested in seeing how it works
I'm worried that scribing will make some of the current gear obsolet. For example: Why should I still wear turning tide and drakes rush on my tank if I can get major vulnerability and major heroism for the group through skills? The thought to reequip all my chars is not a pleasant one.
@@klausvanderknut928 the same thing than currently : Time, ressources, skill slot and synergy between set. In pvp expert hunter/camouflaged hunter/evil hunter or Magelight/ inner light/ Radiant magelight are super usefull. Though. Few people really use them because of their theory build and skill slot. And if they use them it's through potions mostly
@@klausvanderknut928As a player that has played for years, this so called change has happened multiple times throughout eso. Many times even devaluing classes themselves.
Finally! i have been waiting for so long im not only excited but im also happy it feels like the wish of my life has finally come true !! i cant even expres how happy im rn man
With the scribing systems, I'm most looking forward to using the various weapons with builds that never would have used them. ie MagDK using a bow to drop fire volleys etc. Hopefully this is the case
I hope we’ll get custom weapon idles at some point.
If we do, it will be in the crown store and MAYBE a watered-down version that is earnable in-game.
@@terminalvelocity4858 As unfortunate as it is, that's something I am willing to overlook so long as we get it.
The alternative is we don't have it at all.
Need 2 handed stances
Really hope this will mean more looks for Warden guarians! I'm a Reachman worshipper of Hircine! I need a wolf!
I would love a wolf instead of a bear
in eso will be everything friends it will be never be stopped until cover all eras at some point and all canon stories that not even included to offline games so eso will continue for so many years with new contents stay tuned
Skill Crafting sounds pretty cool tbh
Quit ESO years ago but i love Oblivion and might wanna see the West Weald and Skiingrad
Auto run for mounts should be added, some inventory re works to help with the bank or organization of sets and shit, some PvP rework and I’d be happy😊
1:22 where is that map from?
It's high time for ZOS to introduce Oceania/Asia megaserver. I've been playing with over 300 Ping in EU Server from Australia for over 4 years. And if they do finally introduce it, please let us keep our progression from EU, even only for a limited time.
Hey Hack, your videos are the best ESO news and tip channel on TH-cam! BTW, when a game developer tells you, "that would be really difficult to do...", that is 100% a no. Cross play is so not ever going to happen between console and PC.
Economy is a problem for crossplay? Great opportunity to remove the stupid guild traders and just add an auction house. I play the game intermintently and it sucks how I always have to search for a guild just to be able to sell. Not even talking about how annoying it is to use a webpage and then jump across the world to buy stuff in different places... when it wasnt already sold... Terrible system
There's an ongoing forum thread on this. Literally every mmorpg has some sort of central AH but these ESO shills vehemently reject the idea and tell you to use addons or f off (console players)
@@ryuzakikazeshini4012 eso isn't like every other mmorpg guild traders aren't the problem having them so spread that you have to check multiple traders to find what you want
I hope the companions will be an Orc and a High Elf. (Wood Elf would be ok too.)
Definitely would love a Wood Elf companion, wish we would of gotten a Warden Bosmer pal instead of an Argonian. Still love Sharp though, I just wonder what classes they will be because we're only missing a necro companion.
The new companions interest me. Each previous one has been based on a player class, but there is only the necromancer left. If they keep this pattern, what will the 8th companion be? A new upcoming class not yet announced? An an alternate of one of the other companions, or something not class-related? Can't stop speculating to myself.
Might be a vamp and werewolf companion
There was a new class last year in Necrom, so this year, it's very improbable.
questio: what armor set is it at 12:29 ?
Hello I know I’m late but is the armor in the thumbnail from a Gold Road screenshot or is this something already in the game ?
I have an idea but i don't know how to call it :D
What would bring me back is turning down the spamming in combat, so the idea: a slider that multiplies Damage/Effect with Stam/Magic cost. For example 3x more Dmg for 3x more Stamina cost.
I just want a better UI, having to scroll in my inventory for 3 items is dumb, it should be more like skyrim's skyui mod
Still waiting for an mmo that enables solo playing for end-game activities and BiS loot. It's been a long wait. SWTOR did it for a bit but then they went back to retard-mode.
Looking forward to the new zone and story. There's always this special feeling exploding a new zone and seeing everything for the first time.
I also like exploding new continents
If theres a drop down box with resource cost. Does that not imply you could make a ultimate skill? I would love to make a permanent pet for my Templar.
A first person only server with harder overland content would (for me personally) amazing
The golden road looks like an interesting twist with it's spell crafting. Hopefully eso will in the future at least allow you to switch your account between consoles and PC before cross play.
I wonder if we will be able to make an AOE Taunt that doesn't rely on Tormentor.
Hopefully Tanking will actually be enjoyable
@@firstlast-wg2onit’s certainly very easy
I just do random vet dungeons as a tank with a complete mess of a build and get through it because dps can carry so easily.
Whats the armour style in the front picture
We can change our Alligiance. We can respec our Attributes and Skills... but the most frustrating thing is STILL not being able to change Classes!
Alot of players want to try another class without the hassel of starting a new character (Especially when they are over lvl 50 already)
A grind that takes not more than 2 or 3 days.
They should just make it a job system like Final Fantasy
@@WeiderMystic Lol who even plays that trash
@@ciphergamingsouthafrica8502 almost twice as many players, in the past month ESO has averaged about 12k concurrent players, and FFXIV has averaged about 20k. it is undeniably a more popular game, regardless of if you like it or not.
I hope the housing change has to do with buying a blank piece of property where you guild your own place. That would mean a lot more craft able building items like exterior walls, interior walls, roofs, etc. Everything you'd need to build your own special place. They have something like that in EverQuest 2, which I made Player Studio stuff for those uses.
That would be amazing.
I need to get back on ESO, once I buy my PC
Ok?

Hopefully the housing update includes the ability to showcase more than 1 house at a time, finally.
We need heavy sacks notice like a rainbow or something like the treasure chest
Your companions do notify you if there's one about.
I'm a solo player so I can see styles being 'pretty', but I have concerns about group play. If your group members can't recognize the skills you're using, won't this make group play harder? Or less...groupy?
I also have concerns about ZOS' ability to make scripting work in actual game play. They seem to have trouble enough balancing game play as is, how will they balance this explosion of customization?
Interesting times ahead.
So here is what I'm a little worried about...I sorta worry at the moment that Scribing might be A LITTLE gimicky. I still think it's very cool based on what we've seen and heard, but for instance, if these skills we are given DO NOT have Morphs like normal skills...then IDK, it seems less like "here's a new way to play your old skills" rather more like "Screw morphs, now you can just change whether this attack heals, poisons or does fire damage!" and yet it's the same skill pretty much. On the other hand, Morphs (which frankly seem JUST AS CLOSE if not closer to a "spellcrafting" concept) can actually totally change the skill itself functionally AND visually. I'll be more interested if they end up showing in the future being able to alter existing skills as well but even still, if they keep giving us more Scribing skills on every weapon skill bar, I'd be cool with that. More skills is something I've desired for a while because I want MORE build variety instead of just instantly knowing "oh, they have a bow, they're going to use these 2 skills and none of the others on the Bow line".
I played Guild Wars 1 and found the skill variety AWESOME. There are dozens of skills you could choose from and some you had to unlock by killing bosses that were around different zones/map areas. That sort of idea really appeals to me, it makes me feel like you have had to EARN your skills and conveys this sense of "I have mastered the art of Bowmanship" instead of "Oh I got another level, now I get another skill". I think a combination of both ideas is best...naturally earning access to certain skills but having to earn other skills.
At present, I DEFINITELY love the idea of skill styling. As a Path of Exile player, skill effect changes really allow you to customize your build and allow you to fully embody whatever roleplay you have in mind or just color code your stuff for that aesthetic desire. But I REALLY HOPE they keep it rather tame...there shouldn't be bright rainbow explosions going off everywhere like Guild Wars 2. I think it should just be enhancements or slight changes on current skills. Like let's take Snipe from the Bow skill line. Maybe instead of it being a bland arrow being shot at an enemy, it will show a more interesting wind up animation with a better sound effect and more impactful look as the arrow pierces through the air and makes contact with the intended target.
Farming would be great! Maybe add to the housing?
does eso-plus cover the Gold Road? i forget which update one must purchase. love the idea of skill crafting.
I think it’s a actuall expansion so I’d so no you have to buy it
No. Subscribing only covers DLC content; not CHAPTER content (Gold Road).
Plus covers every chapter except for the current one at hand. When Gold Road drops Necrom will be added to plus.

@@simpleargonain ah yes I see now, ty :)

I am hopeful they will add farming to the housing at some point. 😊
Merging characters with cross play could be challenging, but I would live with having 1 set of characters if that happened! Even combine NA and EU characters, Crowns, purchases, etc. Then I would be able to play the same character(s) wherever!
Yeah like i would prefer being able to edit the existing ones (IE making Warden's Winter's Embrace skill line use stamina or changing Noxious Breath into a Fire/Magicka ability) myself but I can see how balancing 10-ish new skills was far more doable than every skill in the game.
Styling is nice, like we'll see how long having thing earnable in game lasts as this is still ZoS but if we can get less morrowind-themed Warden skills i'm in.
Vampire skill line was updated can you make a vid on that to explain
This might be old video but I wonder if some day they are giung to add some ranger/hunter class ( I would like a guild too but it's not lore friendly, since there never were terms known as rangers there, hunter was just a normal job to do)
Scrybing is going to be a fucking Night Terror of Grindage.
this scribe system sounds dope
You know what would be crazy dope creating a daedric race and giving a major graphic, fighting performance 💯
Are the undaunted abilities in the list of scribing abilities?
1 ability from each weapon/guild skill

it will be nice when they learn how to make it to where we make our own character from start to finish. And I mean if they add this to the character at start with all types of skills/spells our character learns and this would include crafting as well.
So you just want to make a meta machine. Gotcha.
@@PxNxWxGxW No I do not.
I really wish i could transfer my pc account to my xbox. My computer is not what it used to be anymore, and i dont want to buy a new one just for ESO since i play everything else on my xbox.

Does anyone know if scribing will be a free part of the dlc? Like how infinite archives are a free part of necrom?
Scribing isn't free because you need to purchase gold road to access it much like how you need to buy Greymoor to access antiquities
Stack siege equipment or treasure maps?😢
if only they would change the combat, i'd 100% play this game
I can't stress this point enough.
All they need to do to fix PVP is fix what is in the game now. Not work on some other mode or whatever.
And they better add new class pet skins.
Writs giving players custom actions as rewards for master crafting would be awesome, imo.
Maybe the resources will be craftable, like shihei?
as usual Hack, a great description, thanks for all your work.
I run a lot of configs that do not use much (if any) weapon skills. So I may have no use for it at all.
Does spell crafting mean my Warden summon something other than a bear yet?
Never liked the bear and never understood why it was picked for a class that came with Morrowind and whose other skills have critters indigenous to Morrowind, which has no bears.
Not saying Warden should only have Morrowind critters, just that the bear was conspicuously out of place from the start, all things considered.
Personally, I would love to see some welwa and durzog options.
I assume they will make it so we have to grind for months, maybe even years for scribing components and materials. or just pay for it like they did with motifs

In other words you want a different game
Different engine wouldn’t even be worth it really. That’s a LOT of work! No one is asking for that.
I'd be fine with just an updated combat system rather than playing a ps3 game. At the end of the day it's just my opinion but the combat system is just so boring, it's stagnant and feels as if you are making no impact. It's super outdated and unfun. I guarantee if they just took the time to update and make it more interesting, they'd have no problem reaching double the players they have now.
@@zedorian6547

@@zedorian6547Sounds about right.
Please let this mean you can resize or change appearance of your summons. Looking at you Twilight Matriarch.
ESO’s overland content in alpha was legitimately difficult. We would kit players out and coach them on how to fight Mannimarco and they’d still fail. They couldn’t dodge roll at all. This was a huge problem because it meant they couldn’t even do Cadwell’s silver or gold. When launch rolled around, content got wayyyy easier. I agree that there could be a + difficulty mode, but I also think a lot of elder scrolls fans are older and ZOS knows where their bread is buttered.
Yes the pay pigs, in had to stop playing because every 10 minutes I run into an intentional road block you can clear simply by swiping. No thanks.
Just sharing Crowns and purchases across platforms would be good. DB synchronization is not a really hard problem.
I am playing on both PC and PS5 now. I like addons much more on PC, but playing on a 70 inch TV is fun for my PS5.
They should be making 1-5 Quality of Life changes each update. Those would add up over time! Only having a quarter or two here is weak sauce.
