ZoS should give us a small scale invasion game for pvp

Do you guys think zos should give us a small scale invasion game with npcs charging into battle with us to destroy an enemy base

That is just a WOW warfront. We all know how much the WOW playbase loves those. /s

In all seriousness, no.

Warfronts would be better if there were an actual PvP option. They would still have the roaming NPCs and guards and champions but it would be a race between each side to capture the other fort and kill the enemy NPC leader. But Blizz wanted them to be quick queues with (almost certainlu) can't fail outcomes, so, they are what they are.

ZOS could make their own staged scenarios with NPCs and actual PvP involved, like an extended version of a BG, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Now for actual-PvE only things, that would be nice to add to some of the base-game quests as you play through rather than just NPCs standing around on both sides to represent an invasion, but again, that thing about breath.

As for instanced scenarios simulating warfare with PvE mobs, ZOS seems to be downplaying the Alliance War so they would need to have a different theme and also learn from what made WoW warfronts so boring (limited options/no real strategy, ez-mode, etc.)

Hmmm.. Cyrodiil has NPC's all around a keep. In many ways they feel useless though. Maybe an alliance skill that can call up several guards to rush in for you in a targeted area would be cool.

Or more useful/interesting/varied/exotic AI for guards. But that could mean more processing/sever checks, hence more server load --> lag

For real. Last night in Vivec, lag was simply terrible.

I doubt whether it was even 10 FPS.

All those Imperials camping around the map could attack once in a while.

idk

ESO has three different PvP areas including the BGs with several different formats. I do not see the need to add another style. Probably not fitting for the business model either since they seem to not be able to monetize the PvP.

whatever gets small scale to quit whining about zergss

Yeah would be neat if imperials, bandits, or daedra would ocassionally siege and try to capture keeps, outposts or towns to shake things up (if the server and code wouldn't die in the process). It's been tossed out now and again, maybe some day...
