When can we expect new PvP content?

Overamera · November 21

I can't say much more than that I'm very disappointed and sad that after like 6 years of no new PvP content they decided to add a few new bgs.

When can we expect news about upcoming content and hopefully PvP content?

xylena_lazarow · November 21

In 6 years, obviously.

It could be sooner than we think!

As someone who does a lot of PvP… I hope for the best but plan for the worst.

PvP isn’t a huge money maker the same way that housing or DLC content can be. Most changes to PvP are base game and are hard to monetize, so I think we will see other (non-PvP) stuff introduced in the next few cycles.

Many pvp players left when we stopped getting a quality product. I’ve spent way more money than I’d like to think on this game, and I know players that quit out of frustration that spend many times more.
Give them a reason to come back and they will spend money elsewhere in the game, not everything needs to be monetized in this game.
Don’t be EA.

we just got new PvP content.

who knows maybe 2025 has more.

i imagine the December's retrospective letter and/or the January Global Reveal will mention it if it happens

The answer is June of 2035. I believe PVP is getting a new skill line that packs up all your siege in one shot.

The only PvP content that matters to me in Cyrodiil and IC. To me battlegrounds are kind of a distraction from focusing on and working on the primary PvP experience in the game, which is Cyrodiil.

They just did a Battleground update and since they just had a pvp stream with most certainly paid streamers I think Zos at least had in mind to ride on U44 pvp update wawe for awhile.

We do have some plans for more PvP content. It's a little to early to share right now. But some plans are in the works.

where does someone who only plays PvP content spend money? just curious.

The same place anyone else does. On cosmetics to flex in PVP, on chapters to access new content and sets, on ESO+ for the crafting bag and access to DLCs, and now a bonus telvar + AP modifier too.

Most of my old PVP friends spent significant amounts of money on crown crate cosmetics and maintained an ESO+ subscription the entire time they played.

Dlc, expansions for sets, mythics, perks like scribing etc.

Eso+ for the dlc sets and stuff.

Crowns for cool weapon and outfit styles.

Interesting and I guess I didn’t realize it. PvP people are buying the same stuff as PvE.

PvP folks play PvE stuff it seems a lot more than PvE folks play PvP.

It now makes sense why they develop a lot (90% or more?) for PvE oriented play. The PvP/PvE overlap really goes in one direction.

Well yeah because PvP players are forced to play PvE to get certain items to be competitive in PvP.
PvE players don’t have to play PvP to get almost any item to be competitive in PvE, with the exception of maybe the assault/support skill lines.

This right here. My wife and I used to spend $500/yr on this game. We play BGs 99% of the time. Closed the wallet after the terrible patch delivery of U35 and haven't been convinced by ZOS to open the wallet again. My wife loves housing, but we're both committed to not support a development team that doesn't invest that money back into us.

Arcanist seems fun. Scribing seems fun. Neither can be that fun when combat mechs and game balance are as awful as they are.

This is great news! I appreciate you sharing even though you can't share details yet, thank you.
