Alongside Cyrodil, Instanced Battlegrounds and ARENAS Discussion

Hi guys just wanted to spark a discussion on more PVP content. How many of you are wanting Battlegrounds and arenas to really test your skills?

How many of you are bored of constant issues in Cyrodil and simply just want to enjoy PVP.

Who can see the game slowly crumbling and pvp guilds and communitys dropping because they have simply give up with unforfilling pvp and aoe Zergs.

Who wants to feel like they are kicking ass and doing well in pvp but work during the day so there is absoluley no chance of ever getting emperor because you cant commit hours that other players are commiting?

Battlegrounds and arenas could fix this issue IMO please express your opinion.

No matter how many hours a week you play if you do 10 games of arena a night and win you will have a high ranking (example), so it feels like the time you are putting in you are getting something out of the game.

    I am happy with Cyrodiil, best MMO PVP since DAOC. it has everything. Zergs, keep seiges, competative roaming group fights, small skirmishes, and a good solo ambush game. You just need to know where to go to find them. if you do its easy. You dont need a set arena match, those type of skirmishes are in Cyrodiil. teh game just doesnt hold your hand and make them for you, you have to go find them, but they are there

    The only small scale PvP I'd like to see is a duel option, because it would be nice to test builds with people that are within your own alliance and guild.

    @kewljag_66_eso sounds nice when you put it like that im not denying that the pvp isnt good but would just like to see some more content gets a bit boring looking at the same map and scenery you know :) also the imperial city looks nice as well but again its mass pvp laggy buggy crashy, see what im saying :) and i do enjoy the mass pvp but its nice to get a break sometimes

    uhhh, care to link that? i know arenas are coming but ive never seen anywhere its 4v4v4, i really hope thats not true anyway. 4v4 is perfect but why the hell are they adding in a 3rd faction to arena...that would be kind of dumb

    IF you're referring to the Dragonstar Arena as the 4v4v4, hate to break it to you buuuuuuut that Arena is a PvE "Survive Waves of NPC Enemies" type deal

    But if you're not referring to Dragonstar Arena, I'd love to see a link, NEED MOAR INFOZ

    But yea a /duel and smaller scale #v# arenas would be awesome, and I hope they get implemented

    If they added a 4v4v4 arena but no other brackets, it wouldn't surprise me. The developers really have no idea what the community wants out of this game.

    ONLY IF ENOUGH OF US ASK FOR IT

    Will the PvP we saw at E3 be added to the game?
    Updated 06/11/2014 03:22 PM Published 06/11/2014 02:38 PM
    We set this up specific for shows, such as E3, so we can get small groups working together for a quick PvP-style match.

    While it’s a small taste of what our massive PvP is like in the live game, we thought it would be a fun way for folks to fight with / against each other with the limited amount of time they have at shows like this.

    This mode isn’t in the live game, as it’s something we specifically setup for small, quick matches. However, ESO is a living, ever-evolving game, and if we see lots of requests for smaller style PvP combat, it could be something we add in a later update.

    trust me, that lowbei guy is trolling. ZOS isnt THAT dumb. they wont release arena and the only choice is faction vs faction vs faction

    I don't see the need for instanced PvP when you have a map the size of Cyrodiil. Cyrodiil is ESO's real sandbox, you just go duel somewhere if you want.

    4v4v4 arenas have not been officially confirmed. The word was more along the lines of "if demand is high enough, we will add it".

    I agree with many of the other comments here: Instanced PvP is useless in ESO.
    Not only that, it would detract from the main show if it exists "alongside" cyrodill.

    If it gets implemented, then it should be part of AvA.

    I'd suggest a district of the imperial city the arena fans will have to fight over to earn the right to use the arena.
    Once earned, if the outside war goes badly, then the gladiators would have to defend the district alongside the spectators to keep access to it.

    We neeed some sort of virtual world, with everything interconnected.

    or you just make it a once every 24 hours thing, so it wont affect cyrodiil. something you do before or after a run.

    This would satisfy no one. If someone enjoys that type of PvP, they should be able to invest as much time as they want in it.

    And that's whay it would be great for Cyrodiil. The more they are invested, the more they have to lose, and the more they'll fight alongside those of us that care about a war rather than "just a game".

    cyrodiil is great. if the OP is getting bored of the cyrodiil map then whatever arenas and/or battlegrounds might be implemented would be boring for him after 3 months too.

    eso is an AvA game. it's working great and instanced pvp would detract from it. i hope ZOS doesn't forget their vision in this area and ruin it needlessly.

    Rated BGs & Arena are needed, constant zerg aoe pvp is boring as ***, and to everyone that says you can find small scale pvp, not all of us want to run around four 10 mins only to gank a couple noobs on horses.

    Ive been asking for instanced battlegrounds for ages in in total support of this, it would be a dream come true i would totally pee in my pants the day it comes. I do like cryrodiill, in coming around to it, but. I cant help it, i do miss standard 15v15 and capture flag, i hate it when there is like 5 vs 5 in a random part of crydo and then over the hill comes a stampede. Or 20 hidden enemies, taking keeps is just a bad fps episode that gets old fast.
