Imperial City, I love you.

Wow, that was fun! Last 4 hours in IC on XBox (Haderus, NA) were crazy awesome.

I've also learned that there are more awful players with 501 CP then I could have ever imagined. Plenty of great ones too, but some of the 501s were just cannon fodder. Very interesting to know.

Overall, IC is a PVP homerun. Well played ZOS.

Only took em about 8 months after it released to finally give it a purpose to the alliance war...

Yes IC is a blast again I hope it stays active

How are you guys finding the new District Capture? Is it still cycling through different alliances too quickly to be of much use?

The way it's done is pretty meh if you ask me. It's just a russian roulette: if the flag is near the enemy respawn point and they outnumber you, it's basically GG.

But if you're just looking for a fight instead of objectives, then yes, it's fine.

I bet we will have "night capping" just like outside

If you're looking for a fight rather than objectives, then District Capture hasn't really added anything, as you could have had those fights anyway. Has District Capture pulled more people into IC for PvP, even if they're not going after the flags directly? Would it be more interesting if there were multiple flags per district required to take control of the whole district?

I'm finding it ... fun. Isn't that the point?

They do cycle quickly however.

Absolutely! But the general (and almost unanimous) feedback on PTS was that a single flag would promote zerging and destroy the small-scale setup that IC was designed for, and more flags would spread people out around the district more and make the PvP more interesting. I was wondering if that view (ie, more flags = more interesting) translates to what is currently happening on Live.

I have to agree on those points. The only thing those flags have added is a huge "there are players here, come get some!" mark on the map.

So, yes, IMO multiple flags would have changed things quite a bit, and would require a coordinated group to capture a district, instead of the current "fight, respawn, run 5 meters, fight again" stuff going on right now.

Imperial City is my new Cyrodiil in terms of PVP. I'm so tired of zergs and closed elitist guilds, that I find Imperial City so refreshing. It's not only fun running with a small group, but hiding/fighting in narrow streets & houses is SO awesome.

The whole atmosphere in the city & the sewers just rocks with some horrifying badass NPCs.

I agree with everything you mentioned. I was amazed at how many 501 players would run away from my MagDK LOL. I felt like a GOD in the City haha.
