Any of you PvPers going to run through Orsinium?

Alucardo

I know PvE normally isn't our thing, but I'm curious how many of you are going to try out the new content. Looks pretty well-polished with loads of dynamics, and I'm quite keen to try my hand at the solo arena, so I will most likely be there!
At first I wasn't planning to, but Elloa's latest video really sold it to me. If you wanted some more information while waiting for the update and up in the air about buying it, I'd highly recommend checking out her first impression guide if you haven't already: http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/227887/orsinium-first-impressions-should-you-buy-the-dlc/p1

See you in Orsinium, or not!

Sinbaar

I will

ontheleftcoast

I used to be mostly PvE but I've become rather attached to PvP in the months since IC dropped. As a subscriber I'll get Orsinium but considering the bugs that will likely riddle the place I'll probably wait a week to hit it hard. Honestly, does anyone expect a smooth rollout of Orsinium? Anyone?

MrDerrikk

I can see PvPers doing Orsinium if only for the Maelstrom weapons and their bonuses.

Sharee

Of course i'll go through it, at least once for the story. That it has challenging single-player content is a bonus.

Speely

Yep! Bought the game for the PvP (former DAoC player) and ended up falling for the PvE. Orsinium looks great. Maelstrom in particular looks like my jam since I have come to love soloing in ESO.

SHADOW2KK

I will too.

I like soloing sometimes, and interested in the Maelstrom shizzle and the other benefits of Orsinium, mat farming etc.

McSwaggins

I might do the arena just to try and get the masters greatsword, but I dont really see myself putting in the hours to get it

k2blader

I'm not buying it. My main-- I mean only-- interest in it is commissioning a friend to make me Julianos. :-)

Helgi_Skotina

Me not. I have completed none of the craglorn quests, trials and made the undaunted dailies only to get to level 10 in ubdaunted quest line, so i see no reason to buy orsinium.

Ah yeah, I'm looking forward to that as well. 'Bout time mages had something to compete with Hundings.

I think it will go pretty smoothly. People will most likely find the odd bug still lurking of course, but rollout wise I have high hopes.

Sausage

Of course, but Im sure I go back to IC quite soonish. Unless they make huge improvements to Cyrodil it will be like that a while too.

imredneckson

Yes and from the way the PTS looked I love the views, the combat, and that you can enter Orcimium on a low lvl toon and not have to lvl up to vet 1 to enter.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how the battle levelling plays out. With the overhaul they are doing to it, I guess it's going to be better than ever.

EIGHTS

I do PvP and PvE all the time.

I'm glad that Orsinium is coming.
I don't need to go to IC again. XD

Jura23

I will buy it so when I lvl more alts in the future I don't have to grind Cyro dailies.

kenpachi480

I expect orsinium to be the new grind zone,. for cp, for mats, lorhkan tears, etc so I will be running it,. but also make engough time for PVP

FuzzyDuck79

I'm not even PvP'ing right now. Its become so stale. If I buy Orsinium I might try the arena to see if it's a viable option to keep me playing. ZOS are walking a tight line tho because I won't buy anything more if this dlc is as bad as the last one. At least it shouldn't promote zergs this time being as it's all solo content. Just hope those 20 hours of content keep me here.

As for the arena... I'm sure a lot will try and come on right here to complain "omg, forced pve grind, nerf plz!"

It's a PvE update. I hope no one complains about the amount of PvE involved xD

Guaranteed someone will whine about something IMO

Aunatar

Of course we're gonna play it! Everyone who likes the Elder Scrolls saga is going to play it.

Most PVPers take a break time to time to do trials, dungeons and PVE content. PVP is bread-and-butter, but... sometimes you need variety.

Interesting set, but Law of Julianos is crafted, and has identical stats to Hundings but for mages. I prefer to craft things and jump in straight away instead of grinding all day for drops.

Agreed. I'm really looking forward to a break, but I didn't have anything else in ESO I was interested in. Orsinium seems to be the answer!

Sotha_Sil

Nope. #Nothing for magicka templars #I hate MSA (rng + quickly developped content to save some time & money) #questing is cool but that's it #xivkynorglassforlife

dRudE

I'll definitely be giving the maelstrom arena a few shots, I'd even like it if there was a daily quest for it like the pledges.

WillhelmBlack

For teh mats.
