Oh Boy I'm Excited For the NEW PvP Content!

Mashille · January 2020

We're getting AN ENTIRE SIEGE WEAPON!!!

Yeah, PvE is getting a new Trial, 4 new dungeons and 40+ hours of new overland content again this year, just like it has gotten every year for the past 4 years. (I mean Morrowind, Summerset, Eleswyr and now Dark Heart. It's all the same content just reskinned with new locations and characters.)

But WOW! ONE SIEGE WEAPON!

Thanks Zenimax, this is what the PvP community has been asking for!!

Cue the dripping sarcasm memes.

New PvP content would ruin PvP. Players already complain about low population. Add a new area and the population will be even more spread out and the PvP world will appear all but empty.

Hey you'll get a new broken Daedric weapon in Cyrodiil in Q2 or so, aren't you excited?

Aptonoth · January 2020

They should kill pvp so they can balance pve and give full attention towards pve.

Karivaa · January 2020

What seige weapon? At least we get something!

DarkPicture · January 2020

You can only develop game story by doing pve content like in every other mmo so what u expected?

Cirantille · January 2020

Tbh I'd be happy if they just fix this blep Cyrodiil lag and bugs.

Dusk_Coven · January 2020

Everyone guess what the siege weapon will be! Hopefully it won't be just a reskin.
And since it's in Antiquities, it'll be lore related somehow...

Neoealth · January 2020

lol

haelene · January 2020

What exactly did you want?

Ravena · January 2020

Casual gamers don't like PvP because the community there is very unwelcoming and try-hardish.

And casual gamers are ESO's main cash source. So PvP is not a priority.

idk · January 2020

PvP does not make money for the game. Yes, I know there are performance issues as I deal with them. Regardless, PvE based games like ESO serve themselves better by focusing on the game content that drives revenue and that is PvE.

Royaji · January 2020

And they say PvPers are toxic...

dem0n1k · January 2020

So.... any details on the new seige? srs question.

karekiz · January 2020

PvP is true endgame. If ZoS tossed 100% into PvP 1000% more population for the game. PvE can be gotten like WoW

Absolutely concur.

PVP makes no money, its obvious ZOS only focus is to fix pvp, but if you want good pvp, head to another

The chapters are just...lacking more and more. But it is what it is. I know so many who are pvpers and just lost even more hope.

I'd be down for a new Cyrodiil or some revamp to pvp like more open world with pvp toggle on and off options or something... Something to make pvp feel more apart of the game. When I go into Cyrodiil the theme and player list is all thats there, it doesn't feel like ESO since it gets no love.

Some of my favorite from the announcement...........

Also, while "Antique hunting" is neat, adding 2 new skill lines for it sounds bad...?

I think it would have a whole different set of clientele. If this game was 100% PVP, with no way to turn it off, or that was all the content. I wouldn't log in. I have no need to, I couldn't enjoy questing or going at my own pace without too much worry I'd have to start it all over again. Just as if this game had no PVP option it probably wouldn't appeal to you (beyond perhaps logging in looking at story stuff then heading out). Every person enjoys a different game experience. I do think it's bollocks that PVP hasn't gotten much of anything. Honestly I think a large chunk of this chapters content is actually the performance improvements. Even though they are free updates, I think a lot of resources are getting the game to preform better, because there is no future for eso if performance didn't improve as it was on a steady downward trend.

And everyone knows PvPers are going to abuse the Hell out of it somehow thus making Cyrodiil even more not fun for those on the other end of them.

Not to everybody. Don’t make blanket statements like that.

We don't know what it is, but they can troll and it can be another crappy daedric weapon

Like, I put out my siege in the middle of Summetset and shoot ofc

Konstant_Tel_Necris · January 2020

Did they mention what siege weapon it's will be? Mount siege mammoth?

Nanfoodle · January 2020

Even an update would be nice. That God hammer needs to change, it does not shake up the status quo. Pls remove it and give us something that does.

merevie · January 2020

You missed this:

Finally, we are addressing Magicka/Stamina sustain, especially in encounters where longer fights or prolonged damage in specific areas are required. With that in mind, we are reducing the cost of Area of Effect Damage over Time (AE DoT) abilities to reduce the pressure on your Magicka/Stamina while utilizing a rotation involving an AE DoT. This does result in a revised standard between Single Target DoTs and AE DoTs which we will be evaluating with the live game and on the PTS.

JJBoomer · January 2020

this game is literally 90% PVE and you think its an injustice that thats what makes up most of the new content? I mean, you're just setting yourself up for disappointment my dudes. ESO has never been focused on PvP. Thats not what the game is about. If anything its an extra. A big giant addon to the rest of the game.

Sorry if thats not what you want to hear. But thats the reality. Your acting as if this is a PvP focused game. its not. Just because that might be some people's main interest in the game, doesn't change that this is a PvE mmo with pvp thrown in because mmo's have to have it pretty much.

A game doesn't have to be PvP focused to innovate and improve on their PvP. Back in 2013 and 2014 ESO was seen as the spiritual successor to DAOC (Dark Age of Camelot) by a lot of people and they massively advertised their "Large Scale" PvP, A v A v A content. ESO's PvP was literally one of the original selling points of the game and is what got a large amount of the original game's community into the game. Saying it was never a PvP game is just a lie.

On release most reviews talked about how the game was mediocre but the PvP was awesome and back when the game was sub based a solid 50% of the game's population was the PvPers. We had like 10 different 30 Day Campaigns. We have what, 1 or 2 now?

PvP has been shunned since ESO was released and its a sad shame as it was and still could be bloody amazing. It makes me sad because I WANT reasons to come back and play PvP again. I WANT to love the game again which is why I always hope for some big PvP reveal but it never comes.
