IC is a lot of fun

Joy_Division

I won't offer my suggestions or feedback based on only a few hours (I'm kind of funny that way, relying on experience as opposed to speculation), but I will say to those people who are dubious about mixing PvP and PvE, feel the IC is just for "gankers" and "greifers," feel they are "forced" to do something, or are too worried about losing their Tel Var stones: you are missing out on a very enjoyable experience. The LOS opportunities afford by interesting terrain, tactics available to savvy player by PvE mobs that are not impotent statues (good job ZoS!), and the frenetic pace of combat in the IC were all something I enjoyed much more than I thought I would. And I am not even a "ganker" or the type of person who many people keep saying IC was made for.

I know the Tel Var stone issue is a touchy subject and many feel passionately one way or the other, but I can say it wasn't hard at all to accumulate them without even necessarily trying to "farm" them. Last night we all died a ton just enjoying the combat I and I think many people weren't even keeping track of them as they changed hands so quickly. Just get out there and play the game. There are critiques to be made and suggestions for improvement and these will come. But ZoS has got something here that can be a lot of fun.

Edit: I do think victorious players should not automatically be given Tel Var stones from defeated players ... it would be much more interesting if they actually had to take them off your dead body (nobody likes 40+ yard snipes when fighting a PvE boss!)

I had fun. I didn't mind losing my stones in big PvP fights, but I did hate it when I just finished a tough fight with mobs, and was sniped while weak and lost all my stones.

Yes, I've had A LOT of fun when:

1. I didn't get a string of crashes and was stable for an hour or more.
2. I was grouped with 3-6 other people, even in a "someone just randomly invited you to a group" pug.

I haven't completed any quests because I was either solo, crashing, or my group just wanted to explore and find/fight roaming bosses, but I have liked the NPCs I've met, including the two famous scholars bickering over Telvar stones and what seems to be a quest giver that might be based on someone who is somewhat on the autistic spectrum (no insult intended, I think it's cool since the person is so powerful/skilled).

Yeah its been awesome fun ....there have been some crash issues....but the fun is strong there in ic. My problem is that i was having fun and then it turns out someone took the home keeps and next time i died i was ported back to cyro starting gate. A large organized force was on and no organized allies.So now i feel forced to fight them but their just farming and griefing.And i dont really want to fight a large group i just want the small scale pvp i was getting in ic.So i just logged out .And hopefully alot more allies get on so i can get back in and have fun.....This is a big problem. People gonna pay for content and then cant play because their team is losing? Lets say you just got off from work and you have 3 hours to pvp because you work early in the morn and have other stuff to do ,lets say ic just came out and you wanna get off work and play it because you just paid for it....but you cant because you dont own home keeps....so you spend the next three hours doing something you dont want to do just so you can play ther content you paid for......also i though zos was tryiong to get rid of buff servers ...theres going to be ic servers. I get on because i want to fight people . I want all factions to have access to ic so i can fight them .

Ive been qui a hard critic of zos work past few months.

I must admit that this dlc is worth paying for. Almost considered and expention pack.

It may be fun but why are people zerging on the PTS server? My faction has like 2 people in there and this hoard of 12+ yellows keep rolling over people. I want to test out new abilities damnit.
