Datamined Imperial City Maps

Neizir · February 2015

Again, all the credit goes to @Dominoid! There are ALOT of images here!

Dominoid · February 2015

Those aren't mine. Looks like someone did the same thing I did though. I'm still working on the presentation of these with more context. Looks like no sense now. I hadn't even seen that top one.

Dominoid · February 2015

Ok these aren't mine but:

1. haven't seen this one, but it's a rough top down look of the imperial city - sort of

2. Official map for the IC

3. Imperial Prison Entrance Map

4-7. New 4-man(presumed) dungeon called Imperial Prison

8. Rough top-down look of all the imperial sewers

9-10. Imperial Sewers PVE? Aldmeri Dominion

11-12. Imperial Sewers PVE? Daggerfall Covenant

13-14. Imperial Sewers PVE Ebonheart Pact

15 - Imperial Sewers Hub - Each alliance get's own "safe" section with the entire middle section (which is as big as IC itself) for PVP battles

that is awesome.. you guys are awesome to find it..

SoulScream · February 2015

That is really a very large area! I lost interest in it when I read it was PVE. I don't want more PVE in my PVP.

Its PVE areas that will be held by a certain faction depending on..PvP..I'm assuming the PvP its depending on is PVP that takes place within the city..maybe not.

It's going to be an amazing place to hang around to gank players.

And the rest of us don't want PvP in our PvE, but what do we get? We get skills and sets nerfed across the board because of PvP whines.

More abilities have been changed for PvE then they have PvP.

Tintinabula · February 2015

This gets me extremely excited..it looks very close to the Imp city map from Oblivion and I have always thought that something in ESO that was comparable but open PvP would be amazing.

It's.. .. Oh god, it's beautiful.... (tears up happily).

Joejudas · February 2015

You guys need to stop this. It's stupid and illegal. I hate ZOS recently but I hope they come after you for this crap.

It's sitting in the game files from their patch, sent to our computers. Nothing to see here people, move along

Illegal? No. Against the TOS? Very likely.

Tintinabula · February 2015

Its also a good sign that they're already client side.

Master_Fluff · February 2015

Interesting. Thanks for the descriptions, Dominoid.

stevepdodson_ESO888 · February 2015

...and if all this stuff is ready and sitting there then why the hel* haven't we had any REAL new content (not just costumes and skill nerfs) for ages?

This could be put out now and ot kept back for paid-for DLC

Not demonstrated by the facts, and made even more clear in last Friday's 'Live' when most of the discussions about nerfs were illustrated by PVP effects, PVE barely got mentioned: most glaring example was that the Negate nerf was justified ENTIRELY because of PVP, the dev. said so!

LOL, just because the MAPS are there doesn't of course mean anything remotely playable exists.

However, in this case, we KNOW this was nearly ready for release 4-5 months ago, ZOS said so at the time they were just 'polishing' it .. I suspect we can trace the decision to got B2P back to around that time in fact, they didn't release it because they realised they already had their first DLC 'in the can'.

ZOS really are cynical I guess.

I kind of suspect the real reason Night's Silence + Dark Stalker got nerfed was because it was breaking scripting somewhere.

Sotha_Sil · February 2015

My only concern looking at the maps of the IC is that it is unclear if we can go to the White-gold tower or if there will be anything to do there. I really hope we can get within its walls as I would feel kind of robbed not being able to see the Ruby throne...

Although it was a while ago, they said that White Gold tower would not be accessible in the first release of the IC.

It's almost as if they were - gasp! - running a business...

Enodoc · February 2015

Anybody else notice a bit of a problem here?

Somebody got their rotation angle wrong...

The ESO map needs to be rotated 30 degrees clockwise.

killedbyping · February 2015

Why does Imperial sewers look like..... any other sewers i alrdy saw in this game ?

Oh wait, all what ZOS do is Copy-Paste, sry forgot about that.

There are only four sewers currently in the game, and aside from all being sewers, they do all look quite different.

Cuyler · February 2015

This is very interesting

Keepercraft · February 2015

ZOS are hard working about new content. :]

Messy1 · February 2015

I am excited for the Imperial City content.

Maybe the devs can comment on how the Imperial City will affect PvP in Cyrodil? Will the Imperial City introduce both PvE and PvP material? Is Cyrodil in for a rebalance and performance improvements?

I really, really, enjoy Cyrodil I enjoy that it mixes PvE and PvP and I know a lot of players are bummed that lag is still such an issue. I run a small PvP guild and many of our players choose not to play in Thornblade because of the lag that takes place there especially at peek play times, but I got involved in this game precisely because of what the PvP concept for Cyrodil was promising. I have not been disappointed by the experience, but I know it can get better. Keep up the good work ZOS team looking forward to what you come up with! I hope Cyrodil continues to be an innovative and creative place and that the Imperial City will introduce some new elements to the struggle for PvP dominance.

TehMagnus · February 2015

So no new trial?

HeroOfNone · February 2015

Not to give into some of the pvp negativity, but most of this seems like PVE content, not a lot of PVP except maybe during the cut over? I'll be happy to run another dungeon/trial with group mates but I still pine for some battle grounds and more structured pvp.
