Imperial City will be even more dead after making most campaigns non-CP

Niaver

Title.
Right now IC is almost dead in general, and especially in non-CP campaigns.
It's already really hard to get to IC right now, because you need to potentially wait a queue, then travel to IC itself, and wait through few loading screens. And you need to do it each time if you, for example, also do daily writs or dungeons.
With the change which makes almost all campaigns non-CP, the queue to the only CP-enabled campaign will be endless. And in non-CP campaigns IC content is much harder, because it’s a mix of PvP and PvE.
Isn't it the time to finally make a separate queue for IC? Everyone would be happy. It would:
-Save time traveling to IC.
-Save space to Cyrodiil campaigns.
-Allow to enable\disable CP for IC (make two queues?).

Hope the devs still remember about this DLC which had great potential but is low-populated because of several bad decisions.

Hell, non-cp campagins are pretty much always dead. Very few players want to play in non-cp campagins, that's why they alll flock to CP campagins. And now since all platforms are getting one CP (except Xbox One will get two) the CP campaigns are always going to have massive queue's in them. I never did expect ZoS to have much knowladge in running a MMO, but they are going to make a huge mistake. But that'll be fine. Huge outcry will come from the community about PvP when the new update releases that the developers will relucently add more CP campaigns.

Well in the process of not listening to their customers they will lose customers... word of mouth destroys games especially with social media these days... This patch is unpopular ... This PVP change is unpopular

I ran an IC skyshard/world boss event two thursdays ago on Azura's Star. Group size was 9. We had absolutely no trouble clearing anything in IC. We did wipe a lot of a roaming sewers boss but it was because we were in an enclosed space and could not avoid the boss's self heals.


I went in there alone to farm telvar, topside, ran into another random player, we grouped and duo'd the top side without any problems. fought other players sproadically and did arena - NO TROUBLE.

Stop spreading this propaganda that noCP IC is terrible and too hard to play. .

Or counter to that, everyone who wants IC will be in one campaign (the CP one), so there will be more population.

Got damn the Base Game PVE is already easy enough and the Nerf to IC mobs suck I like no CP IC.Only PVE other than trial's I can get a challenge from in this game and some decent PvP at the same time.Make IC in CP campaign harder.

IC should have its own Que as it is separate from Cyrodiil and it should not affect the population counts in Cyrodiil.

Ashamray

Current availability of IC is weird. We have 2 points of view:
1) Lorewise. IC is the heart of everything in Cyrodiil. Emperors are crowned without Ruby Throne at all. Lorewisely IC should become a part of leaderboard PvP.
2) Mechanic-wise. We really need fast travel, either from Alliance base or due to special tool. As long as IC isn't a part of leaderbords, there is no reason (except one mentioned above) to bind IC to Cyrodiil.

Let us approach City faster. Too many horse riding, queuing and loading screens on the way to the Sewers.

I don't get it - a good number of us have been asking for this for quite some time (quick access to IC)...what's the issue...

IC, which also suffers from some serious non-popularity issues, is the only DLC wherein it can be a super pain to get to...makes no sense - makes me wonder what the real issues for zos are...

Yea I just realized the unavailability due to the campaign changes after Morrowind tonight. I was busy and couldn't play for a while. I literally never used to run into problems like this. There should be 2 cp campaigns at least or it should be a separate place entirely like everyone here i saying. The queue time alone is a large chunk of playtime for me. It's just depressing having to sit in a line like im at the damn dmv or something.

I like IC. Honestly its a fun place to go get some telvar, fight bosses, and get into some smaller fights.

But no CP? Its terrible. The mobs and bosses are strong as all hell without it, let alone fighting other players and mobs.

IC is probably the funniest DLC I´ve ever played. Love the PvP zones with sewers and districts (hate the flag-guards but that´s Another thing ^^). At least you can farm a lot of Tel-var with a medium size Group without much trouble, which is nice from one Point of view....

I don't know where you play but IC is crowded on my platform, I don't even play in Cyrodiil anymore

On pc na vivec it's dead. Every once in a grwt moon a decent size group comes in. Other than that it's dead. Which I don't understand how pc EU and console still has IC bumping.

IC, the best pvp small scale environment ingame (even after morrowind release lol), nice places to fight (from sewers to districts), line of sight available, no lag...

Everything is there for the player who actually enjoy pvp.

They just need to give people more incentive of playing there, for example what Ashamray said, implementing leaderboards, also for example making each district like the domination gamemode in bg where we add 2-3 extra flags in each district in those nice buildings (flags that turn a bit faster than the main flag for example)

These are just a few ideas but i think they'll do a lot of good to this dlc.

Love IC. It needs a little love though. Removing it from Cyrodiil pop cap would be a nice start.
