PvP, PvE or RP - Which do you enjoy most?

outsideworld76

PvP

Unfortunately ZOS has no love for us, only wants to push PvE content and does nothinh to improve lag issues in Cyrodiil.

ScottK1994

PvE

I'd love to RP with my char(I've never done much role play even in RP games. When I played WoW I was a bit too young to get involved; I lacked etiquette for one thing) but on PS4 that would mean RPing for real basically(voice chat) and I'd feel uncomfortable doing that

There is something to do outside of Cyrodiil?

Question to RPers ...

What are you actually doing? I mean do you stand in Mournhold singing Red Diamond every night? This is very confusing to me. Please explain.

I don't know about all of them but a couple months ago some guildies and I found some RP walking their mounts in a circle around Mournhold so we did the only logical, took everything but tabbards off and jumped in the line with them.

+1

I like them both equally

PVP is real fun

FrostFallFox

All of the above tbh.

Roechacca

PvP

I voted PvP. I tried RP but it was too slow, turn based. I'm still not sure who won.

I usually run around naked in Cyrodiil to chase ladies. I recently got into sunbathing. Spacing out under Mr. Sun is the best!

I feel deeply offended by this assumption. It is awful of you to say such thing about us roleplayers.

We obviously sing "Sway as We Kiss", not "Red Diamond". The nerve of some people...

Totalitarian

PvE

Love being able to run dungeons, play through the story again and again, and train up alts.

But PVP zone chat is generally better than PVE zone chat. That was until I got guild invite from growing PVP guild with all of the people who chat in PVP, so I get the same quality of content.

PvP

In its most perfect execution, PvE is convergent, meaning all dungeon and trial runs become more and more similar the closer to perfect they become. To me, that gets boring quickly. As you approach perfection in PvP, though, the challenges only rise, and each fight becomes more and more different from the last. I love the unpredictability and greater challenge that improving at PvP offers versus improving at PvE. Also, open world PvP is like a different adventure every time. You never know what's around the corner! You have to adapt quickly to changing circumstances and hone your reflexes to react to unpredictable attacks in fights. I've never RPed, but I know a number of people who do, including core members of my guild, and can appreciate why they enjoy it.

craybest

PvE

To be honest, even though I put PVE first and RP as a second, what's the most fun to me is tp RP while PVEing, doing group content in character is much more fun than just standing there talking to eachother.

Red Diamond will send me to an asylum... "Red Diamond RED DIAMOND..." *hugs knees and rocks back and forth*

Rex-Umbra

PvP

I like all three mixed together. Though PvP is always End Game focus for me.

Dojohoda

PvP

I PVP the most, but I also like PVE.

Last year, there was a nightly party at the fountain in Daggerfall during which naked orcs would /danceredguard on top of the fountain. That was fun.

PvP and dungeons are great...RP needs a buff.

Not really. It has to be the opposite, maybe it's because they'll never be perfect PvE content so new ideas will always get used

DannyLV702

PvP

Although I take part in pve aspects of the game (dungeons, VMA) it's only for he sake off my survival in pvp!

Marktoneth3

RP

I have no friend.

Kartalin

PvP

I enjoy PVE and being able to do all the crafting I need myself, but my main focus is absolutely PVP. I prefer to run in small groups, and I enjoy soloing, duoing with a friend, and really anything up to 12 people. More than that and I don't feel like I'm making a difference. Fighting equal or superior numbers and winning is a great feeling. I also love those spontaneous 1v1s where you fight a tough opponent for a couple minutes ( a looong fight by PVP standards) and win or lose each player whispers the other "good fight " when it ends and sincerely mean it.

You a Saxlheel too? Sunbathing around midday is a gorgeous experience in the cold island of Bleak Rock, I suggest the rocks close to the shore, take the lighthouse road and get down to those rocks. Amazing experience.

Zorrashi

PvE

With the option to never partake in PvP unless I specifically want to, I barely set foot in Cyrodil at all. I can dally in PvP at times, but most days I don't feel like playing PvP. It's just not as engaging to me as PvE is.

Travy_2Hype

PvE

I've always been a PvP player in almost every day I've played. However, considering PvE content is constantly pushed in this game, that has been my main focus with ESO.

katnip

PvP

PvP and group PvE. Not a big quester, though.

Grunim

PvP

I selected PvP, but PvP RP is a ton of fun too.

IdesofMarch2

PvP

I'm totally addicted to PVP even though I'm not great at it at all. But I just think it's more fun to play with others rather than just questing by yourself. I just got the Orsinium DLC so I'm currently doing that so I can get better gear. It's kinda hard to pvp with pve gear lol.

Easily_Lost

PvE

Only PvE
Oh by the way, where is Cyrodiil?

DurzoBlint13

can someone please explain what the appeal of RP is? Do you have too much time on your hands and you are bored? Do you enjoy acting but do not want to do it IRL? Or do you actually enjoy ignoring reward/achievement based game play in favor of acting out random scenes with no structure? Seriously, not trying to be an ass....just do not understand it

You seem quite angry at people who RP

phermitgb

PvE

Technically, I'm more moment-for-moment satisfied by RP, but RP overall accounts for a very, very small amount of the time I spend actually gaming. MOST of my time is spent in exploration, questing, and combat, and those are the other three activities that keep my playing games generally, and ESO in particular - so, overall, PVE wins over RP, even though if I could incorporate RP into exploration and combat, RP would rule over all!
