Please make the Imperial City relevant again.

Please give us a reason to go back to the Imperial City. I miss the epic battles we used to have there.

Morgul667

Yeah that'd be great

disintegr8

We'd also need reasons to go back to Hews Bane, Gold Coast and Wrothgar - they are all DLC's as well. I only go back to Wrothgar to hand in my daily writs and now that I have all 3 IC crafting sets in my manor, have no reason to ever go back to IC.

ZOS is too busy bringing out new content (DLC's, 'Expansion') that you have not yet bought to worry about something you've already paid for.

Morgul667

Yeah but IC is quite unique and interesting

PVP + PVE together. I like that

generalmyrick

the other day i got to run with a guild 20 deep doing molag bol, it was fun! made me miss the old days!

brandonv516

I miss 10-20 man battles at the portal in Arena District between DC and EP spawn tower.

Far and away the best time in ESO history.

It wouldn't take much to bring people back. Maybe allow us to buy something useful with tel var stones. Like gold crafting mats for instance.

The problem is you assume this game is not only about selling DLCs. Spolier, it is. Revisiting old content is not going to happen.

That would be great !!!

The sewer is a great place, but inside the Imperial City itself it's always dead... Wish I could find people to beat some bosses here.

The problem with open world pvp in this type of mmo and more specifically IC, is that the moment you create very attractive incentives without limiting player count per instance, you create a scenario where large player groups steam roll the opposition. Its basically MMO pvp law that in an open world pvp environment, any engagement WILL eventually devolve into player creep until a breaking point is reached and no opposition will remain assuming said pvp has desirable incentives.

There is absolutely nothing engaging or interesting about running around capping districts and farming tel var with zero risk when you are running around with a 30 man groups. Nor is there any reason to even remain in the instance if you are on the other end od that and do not have the numbers to contest.

Apherius

they should make the " component " that we still don't know that name , ( the one useful for item retrait with Cwc ) available for big ammount of telvar.

GreenSoup2HoT

I wouldn't mind doing a thieves/db guild daily for lots of herbs! Would make sense for them to feed clever alchemist users

Actually they already "revisted" it once in a failed attempt to make it a more appealing PvP destination by adding capture points to the districts but then they also stupidly screwed with the respawn rules, which completely destroyed the awesome 3 way battle that used to take place in the Arena district just about all day every day. And since the capture points simply give a boost to TV gains and don't have any relevance to the outcome of the Cyrodiil Campaign nobody really cares about capturing them so now all of IC is a ghost town.

Looeeze

Yes yes yes and more yes.

I miss going down there and being able to find someone, anyone to group with.

Now it is lonely-ville aside from that one annoying ganker who won't leave you alone to farm TelVar!

Shardan4968

I wasn't here when IC was a thing, so when I came for achievement during event, it was really empty. Please make it live again, because I want to experience it as I should.

Man, that was crazy. It was a nice AP gainer for sure.

I agree. And this mistake could easily be remedied.

It is not about shaming the Devs - they can only do what their bosses tell or allow them to do.

I work in software development and improving what someone has already paid for takes a back seat to working on something new you are planning to sell, especially when there are no ongoing license or usage fees.

Beardimus

Launch Gold versions of Willpower / Agility and make them bop for Tel Var or Fragments as originally intended.

I felt the pop dropped after market was saturated with those sets from Daily dungeon rewards

For overland PVP, maybe. Poor choice of words though, buddy.

But those without IC can maybe go back to camping the entrances again. (Scrubs).

when i find people to kill boss its usually some elitist, "go away you *** noob." then 30 seconds later you get ganked by some other faction and lose half your stones....its really sad.

geonsocal

i enjoy the zone quite a bit...tons of provisioning stuff there...plus, my favorite dailies...

no question - battlegrounds have lured some of them away, but, still where some of the most competitive pvpers hang out...

forget the roaming district bosses, I can at least put a dent in them - some of the players I've run into there have been much tougher...

love fishing for tel var off the different district platforms...

wish list:
re-spawn at any platform within IC...

revert back to the old system for tel var loss after player death...

make imperial city it's own campaign map (with direct access)...

add gold IC jewelry for key fragments (1,000 per)...

maxjapank

I think they should make one server where there is no Tel-var loss. Still have pvp and the ability to earn AP, but keep Tel-var. They could even make the amount of Tel-var earned from mobs less. I know that some players like the idea of Tel-var loss, but in my experience the loss isn't from pvp action, but from someone ganking while the player is fighting a boss or mobs. I just wonder if more players, who enjoy pvp, would show up in IC more often. I think it's worth the experiment if you're wanting more players to show up there.

Diminishing returns on rewards based upon group size would help alleviate that. If it got to the point that it actually becomes extremely inefficient to farm with too many allies around, wouldn't that break up the groups?

all the need to do is give incentives, motifs, costumes, dyes, titles, and drops
