Over 40 featured streams. Only 1 pvp stream and no cyrodiil feature? I wonder why?

✭according to steamcharts you have approx 30.000 peak players simultaneously online.
A cyro campaign hosts 3x60 players afaik.
This would be around 0.5% of the 30k.
1 cyro stream of 40 streams is 2.5%, so the streams represent cyro more than the playerbase in the game.
Another view: the event has the goal to give impression of all the different regions of Tamriel, in contrast to the 1 region focussed events like the upcoming Elsweyr.
Cyro is just 1 of many regions, so also here it is valid if it is represented by just 1 or 2 streams.
As it has no specific zonequest like the others because of the PVP focus, it is less interesting for a "present the specific regions" even more. As showing it would have to focus on PVP, not on the lore.Edited by markulrich1966 on July 19, 2021 3:04PM6 -

✭✭✭✭✭Yeah, twitch streams like this are useful for showing potential new clients what your game has to offer. I don't think they'd be very interested in watching people ride across the map for 8 minutes just to get ganked followed by a series of profanities.9 -

It is part of the game. It doesn’t have to be focused on ‘lore’. Pvp players should have representation just like the other 99% of the featured pve/overland streams. Imo Zos whole reason for not putting more effort into pvp is because ‘not enough people play it’ yet the reason why people stay away from pvp is BECAUSE there is no effort put into it.
And the 1 pvp stream is ‘battlegrounds’ so there is no cyrodiil at all. I also imagine they do not want to show the terrible state of cyrodiil.

I know of pvp streamers but I meant none of them will be featured streams.

✭The world plays eso Is focused on what actually works in game.
Mainstream streamers won't talk about PvP performance much, you have to go find the 'amateur' streamers to get a reality check.
So I believe 'The world plays ESO' is really just reinforcing the fact that they'll never fix PvP and will continue with the current DLC deployment scheme.And of course, in closing: please know that everything we do on ESO is for you, the community. Even if we occasionally fall short, we are working diligently to provide you with the fantasy virtual world that you love. Your passion for the game is truly amazing and keeps us going through the dark times.
PvP is in dark times, can you help us keep going?

I wish we could still have battles like we used to back during beta. We literally had several hundred players in the same spot during some of those epic keep battles.

Yup, now that'd be a lot of fun to watch. Now you can't have more than 10 people in the same spot without the server crapping itself. Definitely not a good look if you're trying to impress people with your game.1 -

It's even more sad to think that originally ESO was marketed/conceived as a large-scale PvP game, but now they get more participants interested in fashion/housing screenshot contests.Yeah, twitch streams like this are useful for showing potential new clients what your game has to offer.

✭✭The focus of the World Plays ESO is questing and exploration. Just because the campaign focuses on one side of the game doesn't mean they're revealing some secret bias against PvP players.
They do Twitch Drops for streams every Midyear Mayhem, drawing plenty of attention to PvP streamers.
Plus, a lot of the PvP streamers are already really popular, so it's good to promote other kinds of content creators. I've had friends be pretty turned off ESO because when they went to check it out on Twitch, all they saw was popular streamers doing keep sieges and PvP, which isn't that fun to watch as a prospective player. (Plus, the PvP community can be really salty and sometimes toxic. Not very welcoming.)PC-NA

As can the PvE community too as soon as competition is involved.
I think what most of are grumpy at is the fact that it is just more promotional material and we are bored/stumped with the current state and context of the game.0 -
techyeshic✭✭✭✭✭Cyrodiil once was tied to buffs and economy of ESO originally. Another games seems to want to try to tie the PvP in to have meaning, and we shall see; but this breaks my heart. This is what once was.

✭✭✭✭✭There were streamers showing Cyrodiil and Imperial City during the Midyear Mayhem event.
There will be streamers showing Northern Elsweyr and Southern Elsweyr during the upcoming Pan-Elsweyr event.
There is a lot of content to showcase in ESO, and different ESO streamers who are officially part of the promotion have been showcasing different things-- as indicated on the schedule that shows which streamers will be focusing on which content on which days. All content is not being showcased all the same time; different content is being showcased at different times.
Meanwhile, ESO streamers who aren't officially part of the promotion can stream whatever they want to focus on.I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!0 -

Wait. Wasn't it ball groups and zergs that killed Cyro and drove the thousands of loyal players away? I'm confused.0
