From the PTS:
Hey everyone,
I just wanted to drop a line in to talk about some things coming to the game in the future that we thought you might want to know about. Of course, there is way more happening than what is listed here, with team busy on many initiatives including continued bug fixing, balancing, and other features. But these are things we can offer some tidbits on that you’ll hopefully be seeing soon. As with anything in development, things could change, so we are not guaranteeing these.
Adventure Zone – Craglorn and Trials We are going to be talking about this in lots of detail very soon. I know everyone is eager for details, and they will come soon.
FOV Slider There isn’t a lot to say about this feature that isn’t in the title, other than we will be adding it in. We know different people have different Field Of View settings which will make them comfortable, or just not nauseous.
Improved World Interactivity You will be able to pick up even more objects in the world, including picking up that sword or armor off the rack.
Death Recap In your darkest hour, we rub it in. Just kidding. When you die, you will now be informed of who or what killed you, what the last top five events were that contributed to your death, and offer some hints that might contribute to your success in the future. This will be a UI element that comes up when you die. We don’t want you to die, but if you do, we want you to be a better person for it.
Battle Level Off We're adding a toggle so you’ll be able to turn off battle leveling in Cyrodiil if you wish.
Exclusive Full Screen Mode In Digicolor. Okay, Digicolor isn’t really a thing, but exclusive full screen mode sounded so impressive, I thought I should embellish. Sorry about that.
Player Separation We know that group members can become separated in some of our content, and we are looking at ways to make sure you stay together with your group members. We are currently testing some solutions.
So there you go. Just a peek into what’s coming up, and really, that’s only a small portion of what we are working on. We’ll be announcing more in the upcoming weeks, and I’m looking forward to seeing you at launch.

So an FOV slider which is one of the most basic game features imaginable was not even in the game until this point?
And just a "we're still not sure how to fix the broken phasing" marketing speak comment...
Brilliant.
Name one MMO with an FOV slider?

Ignore him. I did as well. When some people complain about Devs who are actively listening to their community, you just know that the conversation is not worth it.
Not sliders but distance settings, yes. So this is nothing new.
[mod edit]
Nothing for you to be worrying about then.
ESO already has distance settings.
So "yeah" name one game that has an FOV setting. There must be a few but I don't recall any.
All those things sound like decent and "ask for" additions.

I am very curious about the Adventure zones. It will be nice to get some info.
Instant replay with commentary is different. A break down of how you sucked with the last encounter and how to do it right.
I am not sure if I want that or not. I like it in games when I have a difficult time and need to figure it out. But I guess a hint once in a while can't hurt.
Picking up more stuff, might be leading to the Justice system and thieves guild post launch. Plus it is just more ES like.
The group vs phase will be difficult. Could go with only the group leader's choice as the one that counts. Then everyone else would have to take a turn as group leader to do the quest again. Could go with the TOR roll for who's choice is taken. Then everyone has the same phase. Hope they find something for those who want to group all the time.
How many people long for that "past, simpler, and better world," I wonder, without ever recognizing the truth that perhaps it was they who were simpler and better, and not the world about them?

Ok "one game".
Basic usually means that it's something that every or most things within a category actually have. Not that one thing has and because it had it "years ago" it's "basic".

Pretty sure they meant FOV as in Field of Vision and that View was most probably a mistake. People have always complained about Nausea (which they mentioned) from First person Field of Vision and not the draw distance.
So lets drop this draw distance argument. The FOV they are talking about is the first person thing which people have been asking for weeks on the official forums.
If it is "meh" than why the hell are here commenting?
Seems like you would go spend your time on something not so "meh"
Basic yes, standard, no... Sorry, did they claim " hey guys, great news, we thought of a new feature that allows you to adjust your field of view"? Nope... Naming A game that has had FoV means all but jack shit. When most MMOs offer it, then you can whine about it not being there.
Troll be trollin really...
Stupid people are stupid.
FoV for first person ....because SWG has first person toggle right? No it didn't...
People seem to whine about everything on these forums.
I'm interested in the added lootable clutter like the swords rather than the technical details so that was something nice for me to read. Good to see Zenimax are busy changing things.
I dont think some egos could take it if this game was a "success"
What are you talking about? Of course you could play SWG in a first person view. I did it often.
I hope they can do those change in the little time they have left. It will help out a lot. Specially the phasing part.
The FOV can wait, i am sure lot's of players would not mind to wait till first or even second patch after release to get it but the phasing issue is the major ground braking part that needs to be fix. If they can figure out a way to fix it then lot's of people will be coming to this game. Then they could take time to fix the other bugs and also include the FOV feature in the game.
I named one game as i was asked to and picked SWG to illustrate that field of view setting has been a basic feature of mmorpgs for what like a decade now?
As other posters have commented MOST mmorpgs provide this functionality, natively or otherwise...
Most Other posters commented that some of them have it....
but this is not what borked people in your post..... You actually tried turning possitive news intoo a negative feature, and thats not accepted by most of us on this forum....
The negativism, from two months ago has turned into a possitive place, most people that dont like the game have moved on, just look in some other forums and you will probably find them spawning negative news out there. And you know what, if you haveno interest in this game, its best to move there too.

It's more like recognizing when someone's entire post history is completely dedicated to obsessively creating copy/paste negative commentary on a game they have expressly stated they will never play. Those people are ignore worthy. Oh, see what I did there?
--------------------------------------------------
As for the OP, I think it's great that they have been making efforts to bug squash and make QOL changes. Let's hope they keep the pace up.
"When you die, you will now be informed of who or what killed you, what the last top five events were that contributed to your death"
mmmm....
Record of Death - our results show you where zerged by at least 15 opposition players. Unfortunately we where unable to identify the last five attacks that killed you during this 2 second battle. The only information we have is that you sustained a total of 1,547,628 damage.
No they don't SWG is the only MMO I've played that had it.

Are people honestly complaining about features being added to a game before it is released...really?
ESO will have a FoV slider when it is officially launched. Complaining that it is being added this close to release is just silly. Would you rather
hahah you didnt even come close to refuting anything you said. " old bugs" have been fixed for awhile, the last 3 beta's have been stress tests of the server on an old build of the game. , the .18 game build (google it) is as close to being bug free as a game can get before launch. No other MMO has first person perspective like ESO with the character animation, so that was false. considering the first person perspective that is a staple of TES games was just added to the game less than a year ago. (because the public wanted it added by the way, they never planed to have it in this game at the beginning of development) its understandable that they are still tweaking it and which is a HUGE undertaking redoing code that late in development. I have no idea why you have a hair up your a** about this game. and why you are so negative about this game, you act like zenimax stole your bike....
