Possibility of Naval Warfare in Future?

Serjustin19

Yesterday I was in group, accidentally stumble upon this huge great ship. 3 masts it had, 3 sails on each mast. (4mast, but front is different) it was tallest ship that I've ever seen! It like Man of War, save for no cannons. If not practice Naval Wargame in future. Then what is this story about this ship? Is this ship Imperial's? Due to not flying any colors save for white as in truce? I do have screenshot of this ship. But don't remember seeing it though.

idk

No

It does not fit with the game design. ESO still has plenty to work with without such a unnecessary divergence.

I think you be right. But then who's ship is that? I not on my ps4 to send pic to friend, then save to my tablet and send here. But is there any story to this Ship?

Also just found this, we are in 3rd Era? If so then Navy would take place in Cyrodiil. If I remember correctly didn't Imperial got destroyed against the 3 alliance and Deadera? If so then why the Ship? However at same time it's way to huge for fishing Ship. It's more of a Navy Warship. I didn't see any colors fly, including didn't see any imperial flag. With that being said. I did found a lore towards Imperial Navy making sense. But why no Imperial Flag?

I did some digging, with another link from above. I wonder and which now makes sense why no colors are flown. Its been mentioned, but no picture as of yet. Ship does look abandoned, it does look Imperial Navy. Ship did fought in the great War. (online) but as this link suggested, it's only been mentioned. But could this ship be "Bountiful Mara"? That I've seen?

I failed to mention Ship, did lock it was Docked. (Flags on Masts where folded)

ESO has a Khajiit, named Kuralit. According to this link. I quote ""Never once has someone taken pity on Kuralit without hearing his sad tale of woe."
―Kuralit[src]" end quote.


I also quote "Kuralit was once the conscripted captain of the Bountiful Mara, a ship in the Imperial Legion Navy." end quote

So if no Navy warfare soon to be. Would there be a future PvE questline?

Here is the Naval Ship I've seen. (locks docked)

I believe it is, "Bountiful Mara" ship, in which is Imperial Ship. In which Kuralit, must've served.

SouthernSoldjer

Yes

We definitely need another form of large scale pvp

There is a quest in Greenshade (I think it was Greenshade) where part of it was on a ship. You were shooting a ballista at a sea monster, so the basic concept is there, just needs to be fleshed out.

Hi, you 2

You 2 have valid points as well. But at same time I believe PvE instead of PvP. ZOS is interested in more. Hopefully we get navy in future PvP. It will sure bring a lot of former PvPers back also. But in due course and steady time it shall be.

I'm more into stealing other ships. I just hate seeing her, good ship go down. At times we gotta do what we must gotta do. Even if not wanting enemy to get hold of her and her secrets.

In an effort to stop you from having to repeatedly reply to your own comments, I'd add that the game takes place in the second era, and the Imperials were never wiped out. And previously before the planemeld (presumably not so much after) boats of all kinds (Imperial Warships, Traders, Privately-Owned boats, etc.) traveled up and down the Niben Bay frequently. There are probably no colors because it's some Nobleman's boat who was trying to flee during the disaster.

Honestly, it just looks like a ship that hit a sandbar or something.

But to answer the topic, no there shouldn't be PvP for ''naval combat''. Can barely play open world PvP right now without being booted to login for approaching a busy keep. Just one issue among many.

Yes

I wish. To sail the seas of Nirn would be awesome.

No

A cool idea no doubt, but my god... imagine the glitches and performance issues!

Would much rather they focus on Cyrodiil lag first...

Vietfox

No

No till ALL PvP issues get fixed at least.

rexagamemnon

No

I think naval combat would be awesome, but it will never happen

Moltyr

No

Oh god no. They can barely handle 100 players in the same area. Throw ships in the mix and it would be a complete schitshow.

Nicko_Lps

No

We have a great problem with cyrodiil lag, i cant imagine ships being added to the PVP SERVER.

if you add the naval combat? XXXXms

Yes

Stationary ships in the river around IC, serve as additional flags to spawn and to crown emperor. 1 ship for each side placed in between home keeps such as alessia-roe. If home alliance holds its ship, they get extra bonuses for frontline keeps such as increase in guard numbers and their health and dmg, increase in walls' and doors' health.

Food for thought.

MerlinPendragon

Yes

Pirate battles!

CyberSkooma

Possible? Sure why not. Will it happen? Nah.

I can much more likely see a trial related to something like this.

A "naval" battlegrounds map with ships and gangways that reconnect and disconnect via player input or on timers could be cool. But actual naval combat? Not likely.

Asardes

Yes

Before the large scale introduction of reasonably accurate firearms, especially cannon, naval warfare was mostly about boarding the other ship and then fighting as if you were on dry land. Since sieges in ESO are pretty similar to what people used in antiquity and the middle ages, period, realistic naval engagements would simply be normal fighting in confined spaces, something you can experience in BGs or IC. Even if you were allowed to use siege engines, either fixed or mobile, against the other ship(s) it it would be really clunky, considering how badly implemented the quest in Greenshade where you do that.
