I and many others go to Imperial city to farm Tel Var, other players like to go there to gain the 1.2k AP tick from turning the flags. Its extremely frustrating to go to the districts and solo these bosses while a little zergling runs around for the mediocre AP from flipping the flags and has no interest in making Tel Var. Please remove the AP from flipping these flags, IC should be a place for open PvP and PvE farming, not a place to make AP! Cyrodil resource camps is for that trash

    Why does it bother you if someone wants to flip the flags for AP? At least if they’re a “little zergling” you shouldn’t have to worry about them packing you up for your stones.

    You ever farm for Tel Var? I can "pack up" or escape gankers with my 32k health Imperial physique build. It just annoying to run over and flip a flag during my farm runs. It encourages kids to come into IC for alliance points when AP is not what IC is meant for

    IC was meant for small scale PvP with an element of PvE mixed in. Just because you don't use IC for that, doesn't mean others can't.

    OP: Other players aren't playing the game the way I want. Can you change the game so that the only way to play is the way I like to play?

    It's not meant for you to just own the whole place as your personal goldmine either. Honestly.

    (also, what Alliance, Server, Region? Asking for a friend...)

    As others are pointing out, IC was designed this way intentionally. ZOS wanted us to do a combination of PVP and PVE there. The telvar bonus for owning a district is just that - a bonus to incentivize taking and holding a flag. The flags are there to draw people into the city. If you don't like it, you can farm telvar at the standard rate or go to areas where opposing faction players are rare.

    Please remove the Tel Var multiplier for owning the district. IC is meant for small scale PvP and not farming PvE. Overland dungeons is for that trash!

    Op get ready for a world of hurt and lack of stones when they make it it’s own leaderboard and direct que into IC in the next expansion in a couple months! Everything you are asking for is what IC was intended not for it to be by the Devs!

    To be honest with you, I think just about everyone in our PvP guild is hoping that they can set IC as their guest campaign - if that’s possible. I’m really excited about it getting its own que in any case.

    Yes, same here. I’ll also flip flags to draw them to me to fight. Good times!

    Will be fun to find out in a month when it goes to PTS. But my guess is it will not pull up when you pull up L but when you pull up P it will say Imperial City like it now says Battlegrounds. But just a guess....

    I purposely go around flipping flags when a small army is circling around doing the boss runs. Then I wait for those beautiful hate whispers because I'm ruining their farming session.
    Sure it takes a lot of energy to keep it up, but their tears sustain me.

    If you're a nightblade you could always see where they are headed, pull the boss to the flag and cloak away then pick them off :trollface:

    Yes. Of all the issues with PvP, earning AP from flipping a flag is definitely the top priority.

    If they do the right thing in IC with the cat's chapter you will never be able to pve farm in there anymore so why bother changing something that will get a total revamp.
    Ap is a pvp reward and IC is a pvp zone don't be silly...

    oh and btw... i farm tel var stones, just not from the bosses

    Actually it's You @hesobad who is the problem not those other peoples. Those other people are doing what IC was designed for , You're not. IC was never ment to be private tel var farm for players. Fact it turned into it is a flaw that was confirmed by ZoS and now they'll even try to deal with that issue with new chapter by making IC a separate campaign.

    I fondly remember the days when my MagSorc could flip a flag, shield up, lay down mines, hold block and wait for the nightblades to explode at my feet.

    Ah the memories ...

    SMH, IC is a PVP zone. That's not going to change.

    In a PVP zone you don't have a RIGHT to farm there unless you can protect yourself.

    You are not ENTITLED to farming bonuses unless you can protect your flag.

    Yup. If you want to play on your favorite court, you'll have to throw down some 3-throws.

    Tbh it won't be such a big deal once IC becomes its own campaign in Elsweyr.
