Why do you PVP ?

WeylandLabs

Just a question id like to know about what are peoples main goals of pvp.

Morgul667

For my faction to win

True reason is to have fun with my friends

Compete and make my faction win, comes second or third . AP, achievements and others come after that

Knootewoot

All the above

A mix of all of the above.

But truly it's just about having fun. I just love castle sieges and large armies colliding. I just love PvP, even if I don't shine in it. I love to play team bases games like battlefield or warband but in an mmo it's mostly on a larget scale.

Sometimes I try to play a PvE only mmo and I get bored quickly. Also because i have less time to play PvE takes more preperation if you do group content.

PvP is some sort of (friendly) outlet and kill some people for 1 hour and be done with it. Just hop in, LFG or just follow a group and fight away.

Even in the state (laggy, proccy and loadingscreeny) I would not want to miss my daily dose of PvP. Without PvP I don't think I would ever have touched the game.

PvP community is friendly, helpful and overall just plain fun to be part of it. Yes there might be some rotten apples but I hardly see them in PvP.

IcyDeadPeople

Because it's more fun than PVE

Khenarthi

For Achievements

For now I'm just trying to unlock a couple of dyes.

ofSunhold

None of those. I PvP because it's fun, and that's my only motivation.

AP is nice, achievements are fine, I'll do my best to help my faction win, too mellow for drama.

You exactly pointed out why PvP in ESO isn't finished. None of the options is "I want to test myself". There is no competition at all. When I enter Cyrodiil I don't know what to do, what is my ultimate goal to acomplish. Being an emperor? Emperor is just grinding madness and that is not the competition what I seek. Taking all keeps? They will be retaken just overnight...

I was really excited about BGs but when they showed me BG leaderboards I was completely disappointed. I longed for competitive instanced PvP mode but BG leaderboards are just another grinding Emp-like excrement only reflecting time spent in BGs through a week and not player performance.

I would really like to see ranked mode for BGs, that would make me play PvP a lot more.
Well, of course after fixing all the grouping and matchmaking stuff.

Narvuntien

For my faction to win

Because group finder is terrible finding 4 people to do pve content is extremely difficult.

I actually quite enjoy the whole marco aspect of cryodil pvp. About pulling the enemy around about sieging and defending. Even if the mirco level fights are terrible laggy messes.

I play nightshift NA (3-6 am USA time) so group finder takes about an hour but in cryo i can jump straight in collect a bunch of people lfg in zone chat and jump straight in.

Feanor

All the above

Yes. The option "for fun" is sorely missing in this poll. I think if not for fun and the social aspect nobody would waste their time with lag and infinite loading screens at all...

Gilvoth

.

hamgatan

None of the Above.

To get Resolving Vigor and GTFO.

Shadzilla

I do it for the lag, and the eternal loading screens you have to alt+f4 out of.

zyk

Errrr... because I like to fight other players.....

Aquanova

IT'S FUN!!!!!!!!!



and all of the above

Feanor

All the above

it relaxes me to just enjoy examining the corpse, and their name and stuff.

Maybe a name change to dwemer_pathologist is in order here.

russelmmendoza

For AP only

Tried it first time trying to do it solo got killed all the time. I can handle the npc but players just ganked the *** out of me. Ask for lfg got in couldnt keep up with group. Quit pvp because of embarassment.

FloppyTouch

Can't vote I pvp bc it's fun to fight against other players and improve my skill as a pvper

Shardan4968

For my faction to win

Why there's no choice like "for fun"?

Beardimus

For my faction to win

I think more needs to be done around the tactics and objectives etc. a lot more, or maybe have a casual campaign for PvE / fun - and the others more dedicated to actual winning the war.

Ch4mpTW

Nowadays, I would only PvP to unlock skills (if stamina-based). Otherwise the only reason you'll catch me PvP'ing is for an event (which is occurring now). Outside of those 2 exceptions, you will never catch me just casually dueling someone or strolling about Cyrodiil or Battlegrounds. Too many imbalances and dishonest play combined with toxicity for my liking.

craftycarper73

for the fits and giggles

randomkeyhits

for fun really

kargen27

Why is fun not a choice?

Bromburak

Because that's what I call endgame, the main reason I played DAoC and ESO.
The secret of PvP in comparison to PvE is dynamic.

You don't end up doing, dailies, dailies, dailies like in any other static endgame MMO.

ExcaliburESO

For your daily dose of drama

I pvp cuz i love when im with my friends and i see a poor lvl 10 guy and i tell them "Full Fist Bois" and then i watch!
Hehe Jokes aside i love to compete against good premade groups and win them(and then receive all those nasty whispers..). And also protect the weak and show them the true fist way!
Urs with love Daryn Dagoth!

Pele

For fun. I like PvE Land stuff, but I find it much more fun to challenge human opponents than scripted boss encounters.

Magdalina

Erm...for fun? That's one weird poll lol.

Jurand80

for the kills. kills are fun. kills (especialy 1vx) give satisfaction. not interested in campaign goals.

Knootewoot

All the above

Oooh I nobody posted this. I'll do it

Keldheir

For AP, to unlock skills, fun and it's something different after more than three years of pve only. Don't care about drama and while I do what I can to support my alliance I won't cry if we lose.

neal_brasier

I like the fact it's something different with pve you pretty much know what's going to happen most of the time and what rotations to use. I find with PvP it's a little more unpredictable and slightly more challenging I have to be a lot more aware of what's going on around me.
Plus I also find it so rewarding when you're defending or attacking a keep and you're totally outnumbered and eventually take or defend it after half an hour even though it looked like you had no chance at the start of the battle.
