It's Been 3 Years Since we had a PvP DLC

Shall we continue to be patient, brothers?
Is there more that will be shown?
Or are we hoping to reap the rewards
Of that which has not been sown?

We have seen how the farmer waits
For the precious fruit of the plains:
Being stout and patient about it,
Until he receives the early rains.

Still houses come and costumes go,
As Zenimax takes your gold.
Yet we C U do little
But wrap new skins upon beasts of old.

    Training his personal retinue of attack badgers. I'm not saying that's what he is working on, but he could be.

    Chapters are just DLCs on steroids.

    The Imperial City and sewers are mostly PVE areas with opportunities for PVP, much like the last three DLCs which were mostly PVE areas with PVP opportunities if you played the new battlegrounds that accompanied those DLCs.

    It also introduced a few more furniture items. Doesn't make it a Housing DLC does it?

    I don't want to disappoint you but the chance on getting a PvP centric DLC is 0%.

    But it was a dungeon DLC not a PvP-focused DLC like OP is asking your. You cannont argue that Dragon Bones was a PvP DLC. It's impossible to do so.

    Clearly I didn't read the technical definition for what may be considered a "PvP DLC".

    IC introduced two new dungeons in addition to a PvP/PvE zone. Does that make it a PvP, PvE or hybrid DLC?

    It's been 2 Years 4 Months 5 Days and 20 Hours since we had a solo arena: Maelstrom... But hey.. people can dream.


    I don't PvP, but will say this: if they add another DLC for PvP, then they better fix up the plaguepocalypse that is Cyrodiil.
    Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 25 DLCs. 41 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game.

    I can see Cloud Ruler Temple being added or even the Blackwood area being it's own PvP map. I would just hope there's more to them than simple capture the flag type deals.

    It seems to me that IC was a dungeon dlc, with a PvP zone added as well. ZOS could have been adding a PvP zone in with each of the dungeon dlc's for a while now in order to increase value for those dlc. They could even go back and update the older dungeon dlc with new PvP zones, then resell them (look at the marketing for skyrim) They could even save production time by reusing the majority of those dungeons assets. Their would likely be an upgrade fee or something for folks who had already purchased those dlc. It would be interesting to see what they did with IC sized PvP zones set in places like black marsh and might open up the field for new match types.

    With PvE you are playing against the content. PvE depends on repeated content and new content.

    PvP you are playing agains other players. Changes come when the players adapt so no need for new content. In fact new content could dilute the PvP community causing more harm than good.

    There might be a few changes that can be made from time to time changing the dynamics of PvP some but new content isn't the way to do it.

    We have Cyrodiil, IC, BGs and Dueling and that's more than enough. How about fixing those and adding new stuff to those instead?

    No one cares if they get krazy king or choas ball or capture the flag. I used to love capture the flag but the 3 way fight thing just sucks

    I don't see a pure PvP DLC coming anytime in the near future. Much like housing/customization, it's a game aspect. They will most likely have PvP aspects included in every DLC/Chapter they put out, but much like Housing, it won't be an isolated focus. Lots of good reasons why already listed. While I totally respect PvP players desire to see more stuff, It simply isn't economical to isolate it outside of the dozen odd other game elements that are just as wanted in the game.

    They will most likely continue their trend of added zone + smaller additions to everything else. If anything, they could smooth out the PvP gameplay and mechanics, making it more attractive to more players. But as someone else stated, more PvP areas = more player dispersion, which is the anathema of PvP. Better to simply make the PvP experience better.

    Battlegrounds, that thing a huge number of PvP players have asked for since forever, have been out for nearly a year now, and they keep coming out with new maps and playstyles for it. But it's not a "DLC" so I guess it doesn't count, somehow?
