We will get be getting a glimpse of what’s to come for the Elder Scrolls Online in 2024 in the very near future - this is the 10th anniversary of the game, so it’s a big year! We have got some teasers so far!
Impressario Morphing Pet For The Year
Firstly, the Impressario’s morphing pet for this year will be Molag Bal Illusion Imp and the first morph of it for the year will be these body and face markings.
Influencer Teaser Letters And The Maybe Next Zone?
And then, there is this letter that some influencers received from a brother of Eveli Sharp Arrow, which gives us an idea of about where on the map the new content will be.
Influencer Teaser Fragments Combined
We also got this quick little clip with some familiar symbols, seemingly hinting at some content centered around the Green Pact and the bosmer.
All 3 alliance colors are shown, and this looks to be a fargrave symbol, so I am excited to see what’s coming and how all of these ties together.
What Could Players Be Hoping For In 2024?
So, we know we will be getting new content, balance changes, new features, all of the usual stuff, but what else could we be hoping for?
Of course, there are some things players will always ask for: more storage, more housing slots, cross saves, cross play, no nerfs. Don’t get your hopes too high for these ones!
My Wishlist For ESO In 2024
Here are some of the other things on my ESO wishlist.
No Scoreboard, Progress Saving Mode For IA
Let’s start with the newest game mode, which I’ve had a ton of fun with, but the infinite archive could use a second mode where progress can be saved instead of starting over, mostly because of how long and time consuming the runs can be.
We Need An Evil Companion
I would also love to see a companion that is fully evil. Obviously, a Necromancer would be perfect for this persona, so there is a chance we could get something just like that the next time we see more companions, since it is currently the only unrepresented companion class.
Upgrade/Craft Companion Gear
I’d also love to see some upgrades to the companion system as a whole, like being able to upgrade their gear instead of praying that RNG gives you the item, quality and trait you’re looking for.
Upgrade Equipment Like We Can At The Transmute Station
There are some other quality of life crafting improvements I would love to see too, like being able to upgrade my equipment right to ESO Gold instead of going upgrade by upgrade, kind of like you can at the transmute station.
System To Swap Under Leveled Mats
I’d also love a way to convert my low level crafting materials to materials that I’ll actually use.
In Fallout 76, there is an ammo converter to swap round types. A system like this for those mostly unnecessary crafting levels would be awesome.
Include Furnishing Mats In Surveys
It would also be a very welcomed change for survey maps to start including furnishing materials as another source for obtaining them.
Triggers, Spawn Points & Interactive Furniture
As far as housing itself goes, I’d love to be able to set a spawn point, and it would be great to add new interactive items for setting traps or triggers.
I could see the housing community putting these types of items to great use in things like mazes or games.
More Houses For Gold
And some new, smaller houses for gold would be great too! It’s been a long time.
Change Hair Without Appearance Change Token
In terms of character customization, I will continue to pray that ZOS will one day let us change our hair color without an appearance change token. Maybe by just adding a new slot to the outfit station?
More Options At The Armory Station
I’d also love the option to save some more things to an armory build, like the role you use to queue for a dungeon when you’re using that build, or even being able to save the mount.
This would give us more incentive to use the armory slots and lessen the amount of things to change when you swap your build.
More Combat Pet Skins
I have also been asking for this one for a very long time, but I’d love to see more skins for the combat pets like the warden bear or the sorcerer’s scamp.
More Collectibles Tied To Achievements
Most players would agree that getting some more in game collectible unlocks, like mounts or pets available through rewards, would also be very welcomed.
Improve The Old Content!
But one of my biggest wishes for the year is that we see some love given to the content released 10 years ago!
Give us some new textures, upgraded NPC models, new events, or a return to the story.
Guilds & Glory Event Starts Jan 18
I will say that this wish is looking promising, with the Guilds and Glory celebration being the first event for 2024!
So, with the reveal in just a few days, what’s on your ESO wishlist? Any ideas on what the adventure for this year may be? Don’t forget to turn into that reveal stream to find out!
