Before the patch, I could go to the arena district at any time of the day and find a good fight. Now there are just small groups of players running around defending flags and killing mobs.

    Dlc just came out for consoles so I assume people are doing that. There are dozens of things to do currently as well as leveling up a character with ease...

    Empty? What platform are you playing? Cause on ps4 EU (thornblade) there is more people than for a long time. Today i went thorugh every district and there were battles between alliances like everywhere. New district capture has made IC better than ever.

    And yes fights arent always so big like in past but at least everybody arent just in arena district.

    Hah so ur on ps4 EU too?

    Gotta say it was bit annoying today while I was running in IC in very large group carrying almost 10k stones and still got killed. It was all going like blanned then we saw maybe 5 reds there and started running after them. When I started fight them I realized my group wasnt still there and when i watched back I saw them killing skeletons... At that point I just left IC and went to auridon to kill some lvl8 bears.

    Interesting that people like getting 2gold from skeleton more than getting 100tw from reds.

    IC is actually more crowded. However, the players are spread out as they chase down the flags.

    Sadly, the days of hour long fights in Memorial, Arena, and Arboretum districts are gone because there is no quick-respawn. If your alliance does not own the flag for that district, they cannot respawn in that district.

    Yes, I miss the Arboretum fights. Good times.

    Imperial City is more crowded this patch, with smaller groups. Plenty of small scale pvp around flags. Either people taking flags or people camping flags. Usually, people playing around flags in IC are experienced pvp players, well geared and with min-max or cookie-cutter builds.

    Yes, groups around arena are mostly gone cause the gates are open so no more easy farm-mode now.

    And gankers, well they're still around as always.

    The flags mechanic have been fun for now and brought new life to IC but I wonder about its longevity. The usual experience, at least mine is like this: go take a flag, or camp a flag and you can either have fun for a few minutes on 1v1 to 1v2 to 2v2 or 3v3 or be roflstomped by a zerg. On both cases the losing team/players just leave after 5-15 mins or so.

    It might be a good idea to add something meaningful to the flag capture/defense: either achievements, titles, costumes, extra currency, reward mails every x-amount of flags tanken/defended or something. In my opinion there needs to be something meaningful other than a higher chance of engaging in pvp, getting ganked or zerged.

    It was totally unnecessary for them to take away the ability to respawn in the districts if you don't own it. It just scales down fights and takes away the best part of what IC had, a chance to get back in a fight within a few seconds without having to ride a across cyrodil or wait through two "unusually long" load screens like we do now with the new setup.

    While I do enjoy the increase Tel Var stone gain from owning a district, IC is a lot less entertaining than it used to be, at least for me. I miss watching people dueling endlessly in the Arena district and trying it out myself to see how I compared and how good my set-up was for PvP. Now, it's just people running around mindlessly, fighting for control of districts or killing mobs, with gankers stationed at Alliance Base entrances.

    It's become quite dull in all honestly and while I do like that I can now buy all the Hakeijos my tanks could ever want, I don't think it was worth killing the closest this game had to a dueling system.

    Now this sounds really good to me - that this ridiculous quick-respawn nearby has an end - at least for the loosing side. This gives winning at least a purpose.
