Give PvP some love

No

Results speak for themselves - PvP isn't competitive, which makes it meh

Where is the HELL NO option? Lag dude.

Bhaal5

No

The percentages here are screaming zos's customer base would like 1 thing fixed... LAG

AndyMac

No

The skill lag seems to have gotten worse with the HotR patch in particular - and it wasn't great to start out with.

It needs some serious work imo.

Aionna

No

Improve server performance, armor sets, rewards in general. Increase population and give incentive to players to spread and not stack .

Marabornwingrion

No

86% of the playerbase is not happy... @ZOS_BrianWheeler

Seems a bit dull.

Why should I captured a keep or farm to soon be taken away. I could protect it, but what's the point?

Why can't we hire mercenaries? Why don't we allow bounty hunting other players?

How about allowing resources to spawn near captured based on level of mine etc. Maybe take a step further and give guild protecting the keep a bonus. I always hear there's profit to be made in war.

Maybe allow keeps to give out missions from players? Maybe they have steal from a farm or kill xp npc. Help team a level up.


So yes to be PvP seems dull. It lacks incentive for group play tactics. Also feels a bit unrealistic. Keeps shouldn't go down that fast or be built up that fast. Also why should you protect them. Also where's all NPCs? How about the ability to raise them? Train them, lose them, kill other npc commanders.

Speaking of PvP ranks, why not allow for corresponding abilities to support allies or NPCs. Titles are cool, but in real life they mean you proven you can do something.

Maybe introduce new elements like hunger for NPCs, diease for NPCs, trap making. Upgradable features in keeps Respec shire, ability for keeps to give rewards, how about a prison, ability to capture enemies,Trade of prisoners,Spy skill line , player housing ( people can visit) protected near a keep.

Random events like double XP in x location. 1 use weapons from super special quest giver.

Balanced? Everyone a tank with 30k+ health

Well if EVERYONE does something then it is balanced

But to be fair I primarily play No CP. I can't stand CP - too many troll builds possible.

I take it 80 % who voted no are people who PvP in cyrodiil.

They should try Battlegrounds, It's the thing that SAVED PvP in ESO.

There is now 2 types of PvP you can choose in ESO. Open World (Cyrodiil) or 4v4v4 (Battlegrounds) and after doing so many BG's, i cant stand going back to cyrodiil.

Why would i run around all day in cyrodiil looking for the action (with lag and10fps) when i can queue BG's and in 2 - 5 min i get Pop. Back to back non stop pops, the action is pretty much thrown to you.

BG's is just way better than cyrodiil, soon it will be Champion Points and more people will join.

Not to mention BG's is skill based and Cyrodiil is Zerged based.

What about Imperial City. Its like Cyro but less ppl and no lags.

I´m really missing the lol option in that poll because a simple unbiased "No" just does not cut it in this case for me personally.

Lag and loading screen

Heavy armor perma blocking ta*ds everywhere. Terrible lag while only one possible fight to fight in which abilities go off seconds later or dont work at all, just terrible. Unplayable, unenjoyable.

BG's did not save PvP, it is an outdated gametype that has caused even more toxicity in the community, and people are screaming to balance the game around small scale pvp, instead of the selling point of the game.

Actually the fighting is more equal when we have bad lag. I play with 300 plus ping and the , when it occurs it evens the game out. Maybe thye should standardise the ping ...

Tasear

Needs more features of war. It should not be just about killing each other.

Bhaal5

No

Battlegrounds are just as bad for lag and glitches, if not worse than cyrodiil

I only do pvp to grind caltrops for my toons and I hate every minute of it. I have more lag in Cyro than everywhere else in the game and I get random disconnects from time to time. It's simply borderline unplayable and I have to smash my keyboard to cast my abilities...

Kahsa

Yes

Overall I am content with PVP. I typically play large-group PvP, and am generally in very large battles, so graphical lag can rarely be a small issue, but otherwise I almost never have the lag others describe. Since lag can result from so many possible sources, many that are user-side (their ISP, graphics card, hard drives, graphics settings, slow-ups at problem nodes between player and game servers, etc.), I realize people playing on a potato or with potato Internet aren't going to get the same results. This is best seen when one person in group complains of lag and asks if others have any, and everyone else says no.

My biggest complaint is the loading screen system. It is terribly buggy (i.e. when a group is repairing a door and it kicks a few people over to load screen--leaves your toon standing outside, unprotected, often killed quickly while you sit in the load screen), and can even hit someone randomly riding among the hills for no reason at all. Load screen issues are a daily occurrence. The load screen appearance conditions appear to be part of an intentional system, and as such seem fixable. So why not fix them, ZOS, why not?

rhapsodious

No

The concept of PVP is fine, IMHO - it could use a lot of improvements, but the core concept I think is solid. I think more rewards or objectives wouldn't hurt though.

Battlegrounds, in strict terms of Battlegrounds-exclusive performance, I think are fine. I experienced some "everything is responding and then suddenly I'm kicked out of the game and slapped with a 20 minute penalty" issues, I think three times in about 6 hours over the weekend. By the way, the deserter penalty is way too harsh on unintentional leaves. Add a warning system or something, please.

I spent a few hours in Cyrodiil yesterday to get the last chunk of AP I needed for my Militant Ordinator Motif, admittedly on PCNA Vivec, and ran into:

• Infinite load screens whenever I tried to use a forward camp. Effect: I die, I rez at the forward camp right there to get back into the action, and I watch the admittedly pretty load screen art of the Dark Anchor over White-Gold Tower. I come back three minutes later, I am long since dead and 20 DC are standing where the camp was.
• Moments where I am CCed, but I cannot see that I am CCed (and no, I'm not just not seeing it, it's just... like someone glued my feet to the ground and was like "nope"). I just can't move and start flinching repeatedly. Effect: A zerg rolls over me before/just after I finally realize I'm CCed by some invisible ability and I die horribly.
• CC immunity not working. I use my potion and three seconds later I'm CCed. So it's not a race condition between client and server.
• General lag, mostly impacting me via bar swapping or going from dropping my ultimate right on a zerg blob to where they were standing 2 seconds ago.

Wasn't that fun of a time, tbh.

No

Cyrodiil needs more objectives. Can you see those little white icons in cyrodiil map? All of those need to be objectives and not just flags but caravans and such that contribute war score.

AnviOfVai

No

Pretty sure everyone who is a PVP player or just dabs into it are going to say its under performing, the lag is horrendous and the amount of players in one campaign needs to be halved on every side, there are just too many players, and if you go into the other maps they are empty hahaha.

BG have not saved PvP in ESO. BG overall are a flop. On EU PC all You need to know that is BG leaderboard. Usually last person on PC EU weekly BG leaderboard have score that can be easily obtained by doing BG's for few hours which means there is even less then 100 players doing each BG mode frequently. If You walk into BG You basicly meet the same faces over and over again. Huge problems with BGs at Morrowind launch killed hype and later Zenimax couldnt rebuild players interresting into this content. Also I wouldnt say it's skill based because certain builds there are still much easier to play and dominant over the others and can grant You win over player skills.

We did run PvP guild event last night.

Totaled +2h game time. Entertained by lag, +50min load screens and 9 crashes.

Thank you ZoS and this happened to 1/3 of the group involved.

Also nice to see 0 comments made by developers in this thread.

Seems that you are busy commenting crown showcases which for sure are cornerstones of ESO.

Thumbs up for that I mean why even bother responding to anything such small as Cyrodiil performance.
