PvP Pipe Dreams

Datthaw

What is that one thing you would love for pvp. Don't matter how outlandish that's why they called pipe dreams.

Mine is a "siege" type mode where two factions try to conquer the city of another. So say ad another ep have to siege a separate pvp instance of stormhaven and take over the city

Much deeper sandbox elements to Cyrodiil, with the potential of cross server play (RIP night caps).

Cross server would be amazing fix for the night caps

At this point? Performance fixes. No more lag. No new bugs or recurring old ones. Enough population that we could have a viable faction-locked campaign.

That's one hell of a pipe dream... fix the lag? I want what you're smoking

Additional incentives in Cyrodiil; increased resources from delve nodes, a new currency/telvar from Cyrodiil dolmens and delve bosses, a few PD's would be cool too. Some crazy Daedric world bosses coming from the IC bridges that are announced in the zone messages.

Naturally all this comes after performance but I do think making cyrodiil attractive in more aspects then just pvp could attract a whole new crowd to the zone.

Yeah the delves are really forgotten. The new outpost crack me up also, they almost next to useless.

We need an area for jousting or just the ability to ride threw a zerg with a giant spear

Winters peak makes getting to EP back keeps very fast for DC. I'm sure the same is true for AD using Carmala to get to DC back keeps. Harluns is a bit more questionable.

Can be a good idea if implemented right. Reminds me of warhammer, my guild was the first to get to and kill the emperor of the other faction. Most of my guildies were pvp only and were really upset that the final event was pve. The game made some changes making it easier for the other faction to enter and pvp while fighting the emperor, but by then a lot of my guild had already ragequit. They weren’t used pushing new content meaning you’re the equivalent of a beta tester because they had no pve hardcore raiding background.

Newer players aren’t as divided between pve and pvp. Your idea could work but a pvp thing needs to be pvp focused, the city mobs should be secondary and just a way to help defenders.

My pipe dream for pvp, full FFA zone. Maybe if the sewers campaign is popular they can add an undersewers FFA zone. Sometimes an ignore button isn’t enough.

Faction pvp games are great, but typically people within a faction start hating each other more then the other side. MMOs don’t draw the best adjusted people.

LOL this gets an insightful.

An in-depth and involved Cyrodiil that involves a little more nuance then buy siege PvDoor.

Perhaps actually finding resources, contributions. Get rid of the ease of travel, make tactics important, Collision Detection.

Getting rid of campaigns and just making it one zone. Never like campaigns.. Then making ESO seamless.

I'm not a fan of the separation cuz it inconveniences someone.

White wabbit

Actually small scale PvP instead of these lag fest zergs

Yeah adding objectives like a "supply convoy" that need s to be captured for points and what not would be awesome. It would help spread and give small groups an objective other than "sit in tower".

Not sure if the server could handle it but it would be really cool

jcm2606

Removal of MMR and addition of a dedicated system for matching premades against other premades for Battlegrounds.

Datthaw

I just thought of another one.

A Faction locked (yes faction locked because no lock kills competition) campaign where you're only allowed to run crafted sets. Probably the best way to get a balanced cyro.

I like large scale PvP but after five years of a zergy lagfest they haven't moved stuff back to client side.

Getting rid of ground indicators.

PvP justice system in all zones.

How about pvp without name tags. This would help the massive problem with "oh I know him I can't attack"

As the saying goes, red = dead. I love it when I see players I know on other teams and I’m trying to get them. You aren’t hurting them in real life, if someone gets upset you PK’d them they’re taking a video game too seriously.

Thats really it. Its such a plague you cant really even begin to think of new ideas until this gets dealt with.

My pipe dream is to able to play during peak hours with proper and acceptable performance.

Daedric_NB_187

That nobody ever calls for nerfs to classes/skills/races etc.

montiferus

I have a dream that after I vanquish my foe in combat I can get on my mount and ride to the next battle....I have a dream...

Nerftheforums

Working servers during prime time

Raudgrani

That the game worked like it's meant to. Good starter. But surely a pipe dream.
