I have been waiting years for Imperial City to get an update.

They are removing Imperial City from Cyrodiil and making it a Campaign.


Amazing news for Imperial City lovers like me.

    But will it still be a PVE/PVP hybrid? If it is I'm still not interested.

    I'm glad. Means we won't have to trek into Cyrodiil everytime we want to go into IC.

    I have no idea what their plans are. They did not explain everything.

    I didn't think they were removing it, but having it separate so like two versions of it. That was what I understood. Sadly it seems I misunderstand a lot of things lol. :D

    I doubt they will be changing the fundamentals of what it is, simply relocating it for 1. Ease of Access and 2. Lower lag issues in Cyrodiil

    Hope they still leave the sewer gates on as a secondary portal to the campaign if the server isn't full.

    It’s a great idea.

    If they can successfully separate the PvP and PvE elements, this could totally rejuvenate IC and have benefits for Cyrodiil

    Interesting quest line in the sewers leading up to death of Big Boss for PvE

    Massive bunfights in the city for the PvPers.

    And hopefully the hunting down to extinction of all tankers

    What could possibly go wrong?

    Don't forget that the lag will be gone because it's different campaign.

    Who said they are doing all of this? It's most likely that the zone will fundamentally be the same except it will be easier to access and won't share a population with Cyrodiil.

    The only good change that is going to happen to cyro next update.

    The other side of the coin are daedric artefacts that 100% will absurdly OP as they will give you new ability bar & ulti.
    Also I am pretty sure those will like almost always used by destro-ulti ball groups. Yeah ! Lets give those absurdly strong groups even more power... because.. well... every wanted that.. right ? :/

    I'm glad IC get its own campaign but at the same time, it will luring more people in IC more than usual. Cause the most important part in PvP will always be performance. But I'm still looking forward it.

    IC can handle TONS of people. It's not like Cyrodiil lag at all. There used to be 50+ players fighting in Arboretum without lag.

    Cyrodiil can filled more than 50+ players without lag like few years ago. But the performance change a lot in Cyro. That's why I'm concern about lag in IC. Cause we'll never know how many players and how will server actually handle it look alike.

    Since they are separating Cyrodiil from Imperial City, will Imperial City have it’s own emperor ??

    Agreed.
    Keep my PvE out of my PvP and vice versa.
    Welcome, Moon-and-Star, to this place where destiny is made.

    I play healers or DPS often for vet dungeons and trials (NA, CP810+). I play mostly elves or Argonians.
    I primarily play Damage-Based stuff in PvP, but occasionally I'll play something tanky or got the heals.
    I also love gaining more knowledge both metaphysical and mundane regarding TES lore.

    I also occasionally role-play, but I prefer playing the game.

    Well it's about time they revive IC.

    However, turning it into a campaign might turn it into a zerg- and lag-fest!

    That might be an issue. They might make multiple campaigns or instance it if needed.

    This could likely make the PVE quite a bit harder to complete, so I have mixed feelings.

    PVE in a PVP zone was one thing, but IC was really more like PVP in a PVE zone, which isn't the best of ideas from a story fanatic's POV.

    Still, I'm assuming we won't have to travel through Cyrodiil to get there anymore, so that's something.

    I think they will add only 1 campaign but I could be wrong
