It isn't a "complete pvp makeover" as far as we know. The marketing materials (among other things) indicate it is battleground related. Many of us don't care for BGs, its the open world/ic style pvp that draws us to eso. After 6 years of receiving 0 content, for people like me, it is extremely disappointing to find out that they've focused their efforts into BGs rather than the incredible open world pvp systems they have.
Who knows, maybe the rumors/marketing materials aren't accurate - but I doubt it.

We don't know what it will entail and are unable to talk about rumors. No reason to get hopes up especially when this current update was such a disappointment.
Since it’s likely Battlegrounds-related, I really don’t care. BGs take way too long to launch, BGs often launch imbalanced (one team with 2-3 versus two full teams of four), I can’t select Deathmatch only and have to play modes I hate like Capture the Relic, and there is a rare BG-related bug that locks people out of their accounts until the next maintenance.

I hate to be bitter, but maybe half the remaining PvP population getting locked out of ESO entirely the day that patch drops - with no hope of playing again until the next server maintenance two weeks later - would actually get the issue some attention.
I'm still a week of waiting for someone to confirm if my toon is even safe to attempt logging into and zero about everything I missed in-game during my lockout. Pretty sure my follow-up emails to keep my ticket open are going into a spam folder.

I hope they add a single player PvP arena, but the solos will still want to dominate the group areas as well.
They should never have mixed solo and group PvP play as of course that is imbalanced.

It's completely unacceptable that you're still locked out and still have no information regarding compensation. I can guarantee you that if this was a bug affecting PVEers queuing into dungeons, it would be a major priority that would be hotfixed ASAP.

Oh, the good news was the server maintenance did unlock my account. Not that anyone in support said anything - this hope came from other players who had encountered this issue (who support did actually answer) and then played out when the servers came back up.
But my remaining issue is the character who encountered the bug still shows that BG arena as his last location. I have asked for a week if he is safe to log into or not because I don’t want to get locked out again. No answer. Others who were locked out received compensation for time lost. Nobody is answering my question on that either. I’m not even asking for anything extra. I just want the daily login reward that is now locked for me and the 50 seals for closing an Oblivion Portal that everyone else had the chance to do while I was locked out.
No response.
But sure, let’s launch a big BG update. LOL

It is - Gina said "battleground-related updates" although there's the mysterious "and more" too

I suspect it's because Bgs runs well, no lag etc where as they struggle with the cyro side of things and adding new content there would add further pressure.

IC shows you can have open world PvP without lag. You just need to split up the area into smaller instances so you don't have all the players focused in one spot.

And have very few people play in it?
Now that I think about it, I made fun of BGs being the least played game mode, but it might be IC

more areas for open world PvP would be devastating to PvP. There isn't the population to support more areas. The population isn't going to increase enough for another area to make sense until performance issues are taken care of.

I think TelVar is the boon and bane of IC. On the one hand, the opportunity to gain TelVar from other players is attractive to upper tier players. Conversely, the risk of losing them is a turnoff for lower tier players. It creates a predatory environment where skilled players constantly shake down less skilled players for their lunch money.
The concept of IC is interesting, but I think TelVar is holding it back.

I disagree. If they designed a new area with different mechanics and incentives, perhaps in a format we don't have (FFA with a small group limit), it could be very successful. Especially if they do it in way that avoids the things which cause cyrodiil to perform so poorly (12 man group sizes, objectives that encourage everyone on the map being in the same spot at once, etc).
Alternatively, they could apply the same concepts to an overhaul/rework of IC.
They aren't going to fix the performance issues in cyrodiil. Stating that they "shouldn't do any new content until that is resolved" is the same thing as saying "they shouldn't do any new content". They've tried for years - it isn't going to happen. The best they can do at this point is design new content which avoids the primary causes of cyrodiil performance issues.
