Morrowind was a chapter, not DLC

It is still an addition of new content

Rather than snark that gets you nowhere OP,

What kind of PVP DLC would you like to see?

VaranisArano

Given that most of the Imperial City threads are all "Woe is us, the City is empty..." and "ZOS, you've got to do something to bring players to the Imperial City..."

And Battlegrounds had No CP populations problems and then CP populations problems, now its back to No CP and we'll see if the population issues continue.

And Cyrodiil keeps losing campaigns.

Hmm. I wonder why ZOS hasn't made any plans for a new PVP DLC.

I wish we had proper pvp content

not sure how the other AvAvA players feel - but, battlegrounds and dueling are not the same as fighting in an "open" environment like IC or cyrodiil...

not that it has to be AvAvA, but an "open" environment to fight in would be splendid...

after a couple of years - only having two zones to pvp in is disappointing...

would be great if cyrodiil had some environmental revisions - and, no, that does not mean simply taking the doors off resource towers or removing some scaffolds from the mile gates...

update the keeps/outposts...move a few rocks and trees around - i understand we make up a small percentage of the overall player base, but, give us something...

ZOS would be foolish to release a PvP only DLC

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.

cloud ruler temple is part of pve, is belong to the guild of the blades it would make no sense in having it pvp

You should try riding around by Dragonclaw Keep sometime. Cloud Ruler Temple is up there, in Cyrodiil, currently permanently overun by daedra.

Also, what Guild of the Blades? The few of them that are still active are hiding in the Imperial City sewers, waiting for heroes to brave that PVE/PVP zone to help them with the Imperial City's main quest line. (its actually a pretty fun quest line.)

A new pvp area with SURVIVAL MODE! last man standing is the winner x)

I said that here,
but i will repeat:

I think the next DLC should be definitely PVP focused with PVE aspects.

An example:
New, big open pvp world map (but with some rules on this map: only solo or duo, no more ppl in party).
The map as big as Cyrodiil or even bigger, rich in resources, delves, underground locations to explore, with daily PVE and PVP missions. Powerfull Bosses (like in vMA/vDSA/vTrials), so You need to take a risk and make some alliances with other players if You want to kill Bosses and loot some goodies (real goodies, not crap, like usual).

But it's just my humble opinion...

Battlegrounds are nice but it is looked behind a pay wall which limits the number of people that play them you run into the same teams. I once fought the same premade team for two hours.
Just cause many wanted small scale PvP don’t mean they stop working on large scale PvP Imperial City is a PvE zone with PvP enabled.

freespirit

Something I never thought I'd say BUT I love PVP!!

However I really don't see the point of a new PVP DLC.........

As somebody already mentioned it would just dilute the present campaigns population and tbh there is not a pressing need to do that.

Hey ffs let's get the PVP we have already working properly before adding more potential problems!

DeadlyPhoenix

Personally I would like something along these lines.

They can launch a new PvP-oriented DLC, or launch a new type of content for those who have Imperial City DLC.

And what would that content look like? See below, in spoiler.

They can create a new 1x1 content type. But it would not look like battlegrounds or duels, not even with Cyrodiil. Anyway, it would be something new. Instanced. With several different maps.

They can create a gameplay similar to Conqueror's Blade, an MMO where your character is a commander. You can command troops. Give orders. "Attack!" "Shield wall!" "Pincer movement!" etc. Depending on your faction, you can control Covenant Daggerfall, Ebonheart Pact or Aldmeri Dominion warriors. Your troop can be divided by roles. In addition, there is mounted combat.

Here is a short gameplay: https://youtu.be/GUNJoq-hE38

But if you search for "Conqueror's Blade," you'll understand what I'm talking about.

So, what do you say? I've been thinking about it lately.

As a primary pvp player I hate to say this, but we get a big housing content drop before another big pvp content drop 100%

@VaranisArano there has never been a BG population issue on Xbox NA. No-CP BGs were thriving, CP BGs thrived, no-CP BGs are thriving again.

G1Countdown

Now I don't PVP so my opinion is not worth much. But, I'm a little confused as to why you would want another DLC. As far as I can see Cyrodiil has many issues supporting a healthy PVP environment that includes lag spikes, server performance issues (due to the quantity of players), skills misfiring or not firing, bar swapping issues, and possibly a broken catch up mechanic (the feature designed to give an underdog the chance to catch up). I don't know if IC hurts as much as Cyrodiil.

Now I don't know if that's all fixed or even if I missed some of the issues but if I was going to PVP in a new DLC I would expect those issues fixed first before I gave them $$ on a DLC that needs those features to work.

Also lol I agree with the sentiment but learn to count to 9.

Imperial city is mostly dead anyway except for a couple of gankers

Unless you were making some kind of point with it, your crafted poem has been overshadowed by my being triggered over you not spelling the words "see you".

Oh damn i didnt know a chapter was a DLC. I didnt know a chapter that focused on a new zone specifically for PVE was a PVP DLC. Although, now that i think of it, i guess a few small mini games consisting of 12 people still counts as a PVP DLC.. A PVP DLC where i cant use the CP i have been ruthlessly grinding for years now.. Ah well, still a good PVP DLC............... THANK YOU FOR INFORMING ME.

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

Agreed about fixing things but thats not gonna happen. I say if you're not gonna fix the game then give me new shiny stuff. And not just throw in a BG map every update. No, new classes and a new pvp zone. Hell, make skyrim a pvp zone. Idk id rather them fix the servers and bugs but thats doubtful.

There is one on PS4 EU. Yesterday evening I was waiting more than 10min for a battleground and that's a huge no for me. Over the day waiting times are 30min and more.

I really wish everybody could join battlegrounds so that the waiting times become very short over the day.

Well at least this post is a different "moan" about PvP. I mean seriously what would a PvP DLC look like since apparently PvP is completely unplayable, (according to these forums), and everyone is leaving, (again according to these forums).

ESO isn't a PvP game. It is a game that has PvP elements.

If I were ZOS, given the rough time they get over PvP in ESO, it's not surprising there is no PvP specific content being released......


......oh wait. Despite everyone moaning, Dragon Bones contained......

2 new Battlegrounds.

you mean 2 new maps for an existing feature.

Imperial city was nice addition to the game. PVP was an important part of the game earlier one (DAOC tri-factions style). It seems not anymore but that is another story

Wow people are peduntic.

So what were battlegrounds if not PVP?

A slaughter house that caters to another type of players than Cyrodill (i'm one of those who like both game-plays but there are not that many)

To say nothing was made for PVP is exaggerated, but I woud be happy if there were more things made for PVP.

Imperial City type DLC would be funnnnnn all thought it might make IC more empty than it is

TelvanniWizard

Before we have a DLC, perhaps we could have some much needed imrovements done to latency and performance.
