Cyrodiil...What Would Be Your Favorite Mode of Play?

arena25

If ESO had to throw the current system out the window and come up with a new game mode, what would it be?

arena25

Capture the Flag (and by flag we mean the Elder Scrolls)

Voting on my own poll...

i like CTF, because its a game everyone can play, and it's self explanatory.

None of the above. I hate PVP it ruins PVE.

Are you insane, Lord Arena25?

I like the current system and do not want to see it changed other then to expand on it, I.E. resources having a higher worth and more effects, stealthies being able to scale walls, etc.

Capture enemy players. The higher the rank, the higher the reward. You would need to rescue your caught players also, so while you are capturing the enemy, you must also go rescue your caught players too.

just regular normal open world pvp.

thankyou

Capture the Flag (and by flag we mean the Elder Scrolls)

Obviously, looking at the current results, I've been labelled insane. Which I get...no one likes Cyrodiil because of the lag, right?

Scaling walls would be fun and have objectives(reports) to take/steal and/or just for combat would work also.

I would redesign Cyrodil in the following manner:

1. Only max level players can compete in PVP.

2. Before Participating in PVP players must register for a shock seat and head cap to be sent to them from Zenimax.

3. Players can only PVP when hooked up to the shock seat and cap. If they become disconnected from these two items they are disconnected from their game.

4. When player characters are hit by other player characters the amount of voltage they receive in their shock seat and cap is decided by the amount of damage they sustained. (If they are stunned enough voltage will be applied to literally stun them in their chair)

5. If a player character is killed in the field of battle (PVP) they receive a short high voltage shock and their character rots before their eyes as their entire account is deleted.


Then PVP players would truly be hardcore:)

First off one does not simply read an Elder Scroll.

Secondly, I personally don't like the idea of different "modes". To me that seems to go against the spirit of Cyrodiil as being an integrated part of Tamriel and turns it into merely a superficial arena.

Just my .02

They use to have this functionality in play, then they nerfed DK chains.

I would like an RP PvP server where the keep you hold is your guild city and can be seiged by other guilds on a schedule. I would also like small scale PvP scenarios such as guarding a moving caravan complete with NPC "civilians" you must keep alive while being attacked by other players in the role of raiders. Successfully getting the caravan to its destination gives your team loot, overrunning the caravan gives the raiding team loot. This is just a single example, I can think of several more, such as ship combat complete with boarding and fighting. For this small scale PvP I want people to be able to choose their teams and sign up to oppose a specific team as well so that RPers can actually have clashes with people of their own faction and can set up RP scenarios with like-minded players. I want a duel function wherein you have to flag yourself for dueling invitations (which you can still choose to turn down) and dueling scales levels so that opponents are even and does the same with gear so that opponents truly are "even" in stats. I want arenas where you can fight 1v1 or up to 10 man teams. I want betting enabled and stands from which players can watch the fighting. I want a leaderboard that keeps track of winners in the arena and for betting to reflect this.

Yeah, that's the PvP I want.

make it much harder to capture a scroll. Also when running with a opponents scroll, your life is drained until you die and drop the scroll. If you have retrieved your own country's scroll, no life tap to your char.

Capture the Flag (and by flag we mean the Elder Scrolls)

Would be cool if there were other objectives besides the elder scrolls themselves but with similar capture the flag play style.

In most games I've played capture the flag style game play seems to be the last thing I get bored of. There's just nothing like having everybody chase you.

One idea I was thinking of for smaller scale ctf in Cyrodiil is to have objects (crystals/stones/whatever) pop up in Cyrodiil that would then have to be taken to an objective and activated to accomplish something. Like closing or opening Daedric portals in that area. How cool would it be if you could open these portals and unleash Daedra on your enemy.

I like the current PvP , your ideas wouldnt be bad for BGs , which zen could add being an extra , but shouldnt change the current PvP for it.

I'd get rid of the scrolls. I don't think they add anything positive to PvP. I'd also get rid of the gates. No idea what they are for anyway. Game should mainly be about controlling territory through their respective keeps. Want something to capture? Replace scrolls with the alliance leader. Bring in the kings, queens, manes, silvenar etc..

None of the above, as I have no interest in PvP, although for those who do like it I'd hope for the method that best kept them quiet.

Also, I'd vote for an option to enter a PvE instance of Cyrodil for those who want to do the quests and skyshards but without the PvP.

Taken together, those changes would make everyone happy. The PvPers would have the type of PvP they liked best (excluding open world PvP), and the PvEers would have an effective opportunity to go to Cyrodil.

Of course, we know which contingent would still find a reason to complain about it !

I still like CTF, but I do respect your opinions. Obviously, I crafted the poll a little too poorly. Back to the drawing board...

Sallington

Open world PvP outside of starter zones.

I would like the "Non laggy mess mode" or the "PVP at a scale that ZOS servers can handle mode".
