No Pvp anymore??

Mumyo · September 2014

Hi there... the European pvp servers are completely empty! Yesterday there was at least a red and a yellow one playing their buffservers.
Since patch i seriously found only 2 enemys in whole Cyrodil trying to find any on 2 servers.

Where is everyone?

Craglorn grinding vr14 most likely

Makkir · September 2014

Another Free to Play sandbox MMO launched on Tuesday and the server are completed packed (40 min queue for me). I have seen quite a chunk of ESO players from here over there (full guilds even).
I suspect that might have to do with it.

dont u know 1.4.3 failed?

PvP is, unfortunately, dead it seems...it's been ignored since launch and now you are seeing the end result...Most of us have stopped...I keep hoping they'll fix it...ban the cheaters, ban the exploiters, ban the macro-kiddies, but no luck...so we wait...i've been enjoying GW2 tho! surprised how much i like it tho but i haven't ventured into PvP there yet, my understanding is you really get hammered unless your max lvl!

so i'm map exploring first!

This pretty much Thornblade was locked 2 and locked when I logged off, as people reach vr14 they will filter back in has nothing to do with anything else.

With no PvP love since the game launched and the news the Imperial City wont be released until Update 6 or later has forced most PvPers away. A F2P game just launched that is supposed to have a lot of PvP so there is many trying that game. ZoS is shooting themselves in the foot by focusing on the wrong features.

Thornblade EU had lots of action last night.

GW2 Met the same fate and has been at a stand still for 2 years now in the PvP/WvW for any person that's played for longer than 6 months unfortunately.

ZOS will have to fix PvP if they intend for console players to have the feature. I seriously doubt console players tolerate cyrodiil in its current state.

People are overreacting here. Same thing happened last time round.

It's because some people have gone back to do some PvE given there is new content while some others are grinding to level up or chasing skill points etc.

Population will bounce back within a couple of weeks. This update has been trouble free in comparison to previous patches.

Guess u are right... got a bit better the hours.
But Zenimax should also concider offering small scale pvp via groupfunction.
Its not very good when pvp is completely gone for some time. Changes are necessary as soon as possible to keep it alive. (Maybe an automated list for the pvp servers would be an option so that 1 server gets filled before another) Yesterday there were enough players but on different servers (yellow and red server)

PvE actually is very nice in terms of the Arena. UP! for that but DOWN! for pvp.
Content patch 5 should seriously offer something for the pvpers that are a majority and very important for this game.

given that they didn't do much in terms of PvP i'd expect it to be 'trouble free'

they couldn't even be bothered to adjust armor and trait stats on the 'new' VR14 elite gear vendor:

the higher enchantment that most of US change is all they did - lazy taking of VR12 elite gear and just relabelling it VR14 - tough to screw that one up

the Night Silence set was about the only thing they changed - oh wait - they screwed that up

the server is more stable - oh wait - last night i got thrown out of the game more often than any other night in the past 3 weeks - they screwed that up somehow again

'trouble free'??? - you don't happen to be related to their PR guy who said a few weeks ago 'the game has been out for 6 months now and is running smoothly'?

The armor thing is really going to cause fits of rage....

trouble free my (snip). the nights silence set is completely useless now. and from what iv hear, crashes still occur on a regular basis, and ZOS'es crappy stance on cheaters still remains.

Agreed, people are going to go full spaz about this.

It's lame that they haven't upped the stats of sets and only enchants, actually it makes it not really worth going to VR14 gear at all when you consider the cost of investing mats into them.

Not sure what server you are talking about, but Thornblade has been maxed out every day. In fact i am so glad we now have another 30 day campaign as the queues were getting quite annoying for Thornblade.

You need to read my statement again, I didn't say there weren't issues, I said relatively trouble free compared to previous updates. If you think this update is as bad as 1.2 that brought us the FPS bug and Caltrops abuse then well, what can I say.

Trust me, I want them to start giving a flip about PvP as much as anyone. I've nearly had enough with ZOS and their total disregard for the PvP side of the game. Regardless, I don't think this update has been bad by their standards.

The key word is still. There are still issues, but not many new issues. None of these updates are intended for PvP, they are only PVE content updates that include an occasional bug fix or small change in PvP.

If they don't completely break PvP when adding stuff to PvE, that's step forward for ZOS.

since when? PvEers always >appear< to be the majority in games, unless it's a specific pvp game, but without any factual numbers released by ZOS we won't now for sure for ESO. However look at how high the faction cap is in the alliances, and if the combined number is the majority, PvE would be completely dead, so would be ESO likely.

Also, many are running Arena and VR14 Trials now at the moment. New shinies and all that.

Mitrenga · September 2014

Upper Craglorn is too beautiful to leave just now.

Dudis · September 2014

Like others have said already, people are just dabbling in pve for the moment being, that'll change.

Also don't forget that pvp is getting a whole patch and brand new content pretty soon. This doesn't change the fact that there are some current issues that need attention asap though, but still...

gloom n doom lol.

Soon like 2 patches ago?

Today i was online again to have some pvp fun...... nothing! Keeps are exactly asdays ago and u have to ride hours to find 1 person.

It's simply dead and i hope that might change soon but this is no status for such a young game.

In case it allready dies they should care for the Arena they promised or the imperial city to force people into cyrodil! I would prefer Arena.

And i do believe that PvP had the majority in this game... welll... "had" due to the "Soon content that still didn't come"! I think we need another servermerge in the EU. Every server except one is completely empty and Thornblade isn't even full.

well, the next step forward is to stop adding more to the grindzone and start fixing PvP. its been ignored for far to long.

I'm reverting my position :P

I hadn't experienced the constant crashes the first day or two after the update. I've crashed so much since then, that I now declare this patch another disaster as far as PvP is concerned.

They need to get their arses in gear
