Should there be a neutral PvE zone?...REVISITED!

arena25

Ok, so the last time I was on the forums (about a year ago), one of the polls I started was "Should there be a neutral zone?"

Well, it's been a year, and since I don't believe in necroing threads, I thought I would start a new poll and gather more current public opinion.

So, in your opinion...should there be a neutral PvE Zone? By this, I mean where players from all 3 factions can meet without PvP flags. So, for instance, if your significant other plays a Covenant but you play a Dominion, and you want to meet for some purpose, then this neutral PvE zone is where you can meet and trade between the two of you without needing to join a guild.

By the same token, if your guild is Dominion but you are, say, Pact, and your group is getting together for a whole guild picture, then this neutral PvE zone would be for you.

So, in your opinion...should there be a neutral PvE zone?

Yes, but only if...(explain below)

Smth like that existsed in the previous MMO I played, so I guess it could work

But I think it would need some major Mod/GM supervision so that the zone won't get consumed by the fires of the flamers

jamesharv2005ub17_ESO

Yes, but only if...(explain below)

my bad read the question wrong...

arena25

Yes, but only if...(explain below)

I say, Yes, but only if there are certain rules to this. I don't know about you, but I would hate for this neutral zone to turn into Goldshire (if you don't know what I mean, it's probably a good thing).

Also, we'll need to tie in the lore somehow...but I assume ZoS can make it work.

Taisynn

YES! There should be a neutral PvE zone.

Yes!! I'd love that. One neutral PVE zone where all sides can get together.

ArchMikem

Yes, but only if...(explain below)

A straight out YES would create problems, but I don't know what to add for the, "but only if..." part. If there was a neutral zone that all three alliances could enter, just imagine it. It'd be the new go to spot for EVERYONE on the server. Dozens upon DOZENS of players clustered around, setting off their AoE abilities like they want to be the coolest kid on the block. The game would tear itself apart.

Yes but only if its like DDOs bar brawls. Everyone goes into the basement of the bar and its a free for all. Each bar's basement would hopefully be open to all factions. Or maybe make it one bar you enter in cyrodill but you can only fight in the basement.

Ok, I completely love your idea, but sadly, not all of us are bar fighters.

I'm talking about a zone where you can meet with players from other factions, maybe trade a few things, or get together for a guild picture.

Well, there is that problem. I mean, TERA has the same problem whenever it does Bamarama. The reapers fire off their abilities, hoping that those with low end systems crash out so they lose their (potential) winnings.

So, yeah, somebody would need to limit the ability troll OR make it so the server can handle it.

dsalter

Yes, but only if...(explain below)

just make it so theres 3 alliance based outposts in the region but the zone itself isn't contested due to greater forces, that way all alliances would be split up for things like traders, gathering for banks etc but could pass each other with no risk killing each other unless they invade the other alliances outpost.

and by that last thing i mean guards who attack on sight, invincible and lockn down like it's your curfew. no risk of zergs trying to wreck the outpost then.

Mojmir

No, there should not be a neutral PvE zone.

it would be mounrhold with 3x the lag

UltimaJoe777

This is actually discussed more often than you think OP lol

RAGUNAnoOne

YES! There should be a neutral PvE zone.

CRAGLORN PLEASE!!!

And the first rule of Fight Club.....

Cazic

No, there should not be a neutral PvE zone.

No.. Gotta keep the rivalries strong. Kill on sight.

Osteos

YES! There should be a neutral PvE zone.

I think it would be fun. Be prepared for A LOT of trash talking though

Smileybones

Arena25, your yearlong absence is showing/Arena25, are you insane?

Arena25, your yearlong absence is showing/Arena25, are you insane?

I had to pick that option, too funny

magnusthorek

Yes, but only if...(explain below)

If crafting wasn't so ruined as profitable profession, I would Lion forward a neutral zone.

A place for the nem and the nature, without creepy monsters (well... some of them), with less bandits and gangs all around... A place where an alchemist could gear up and harvest ingredients from fetid swamps or hard to reach peaks...

But it's a dead aspect of the game, so I wouldn't bother...

bloodenragedb14_ESO

YES! There should be a neutral PvE zone.

my idea is controversial, but i suggest it any place i have the chance to

make a pve only campaign of cyrodiil, where all factions can team up

the idea needs polishing, such as no pvp currency rewards, but the chance to quest in cyrodiil, to roleplay in cyrodiil, to explore cyrodiil, without being ganked by campers or people of high level seeking to get their jollies on harassing lower levels

Id pay for that. id go broke paying for that

Osteos

YES! There should be a neutral PvE zone.

No to it being Cyrodiil. That's THE pvp zone.

Volkodav

YES! There should be a neutral PvE zone.

This is a great idea for those who want to meet up.Or just mingle for a bit,free of the fear of ganking,etc.

Xelrick

Hmm a place like Cold Harbor. As storywise it neutral from alliances o.o yet not truthfully neutral server wise

bloodenragedb14_ESO

YES! There should be a neutral PvE zone.

see? controversial, but i like the idea to much, so imma not stop suggesting it at least once when relevant

Aelthwyn

YES! There should be a neutral PvE zone.

I was recently suggesting this as well. I’d really like to be able to meet up with some of my friends’ characters that they made in other factions without having to always switch to a character in that faction.

I think some possibilities with already existing locations would be:
Coldharbour (it makes perfect sense to put aside our differences to face the bigger threat together)
Eyevea (already meant to be a non-faction refuge)
a non-quest instance of Stirk (established by the story as neutral ground)
Perhaps Craglorn or Wrothgar

Or possibly on a smaller scale something like an Embassy located within a city that you could portal to from your faction but not exit out into the other faction’s zone.

Maotti

YES! There should be a neutral PvE zone.

I'vr said it before. Craglorn, Coldharbour and the DLC zones should all be crossfaction PvE.

RebornV3x

Yes, but only if...(explain below)

Maybe an Deadric Invasion Zone where all alliances can be in the same zone and must ban together to stop Molag Bals forces from taking over a zone towns must be defended and such and timely world bosses appear similar to Neverwinter.

Acharnor

YES! There should be a neutral PvE zone.

I suggest Craglorn, Orsinium and Hew's Bane.

kampori

YES! There should be a neutral PvE zone.

I always assumed any of the DLCs would be neutral.. I mean, we're in the same place, doing the same quests.. why deny people 2/3 of the population to group up? Stupid idea ZoS.
The war is in Cyrodiil, and occasionally the home counties. These are actual neutral zones in the lore, so why not in-game?
ridiculous

Rohamad_Ali

Did the new update mention cross faction group finder for dungeons ? I could of sworn I read something like that but could be wrong .

jamesharv2005ub17_ESO

Yes, but only if...(explain below)

They should make an ESO plus members only tavern for subscribers. Everyone could get together there from all factions. They could put it up high someplace so we could look down on all those non subs.

(Im joking btw lol)

tonemd

Yes, but only if...(explain below)

Yes, but only if opt in open word PVP is implemented in questing zones

OR

An instance of the regular questing/leveling zones is created for PVP (See WoW, DCUO)
