    Looking forward to IC! Although it will cause more forum drama. Weeee!
    Pro Tip: Form a group of 4 and hang out with the zerg. Now you can claim you only run with 4. I'm l33t

    Single best thing the game could add! Yes you can say it's darkness falls but also add in the sewer entrance isn't a gate from a safe area like df had.

    Guest vs. Home access is something we're still debating on and we are currently waiting to see how 1.3 is received in regards to that as well. We still want to encourage players gaming together as much as possible and enforcing that rule may splinter the population more than we want... however that's theory as opposed to practice at the moment.

    On that note, will porting on people be disabled going into Cyrodiil, considering that currently allows you to bypass needing to guest at all (puts you in guildmate/groupmate's campaign using travel to player)? It'd be hard to judge, in my opinion, how effective or not the guest pass restrictions would be if this weren't done.

    Exploits suck. Don't blame just the game, blame the players abusing them!

    -Playing since July 2013, back when we had a killspam channel in Cyrodiil and the lands of Tamriel were roamed by dinosaurs.

    The servers are being dropped from 10 to 5 so the option to game together is easier. However, I've only seen negative things happen with guesting, the Home server is used for Emp flipping and Scroll/Keep buffs and the guest camp is used for farming with said buffs to get the edge. If this is the intended usage then fine, keep the guesting. Travel to player is also a nuisance, on Dawnbreaker (US) we were down to the last IMP keep to cap an AD emp and at Chal (EP owned) EP pop doubled in about 5 min of us attacking with guesting Emps and Former Emps.

    Working as intended?

    My NB is levelling slowly but it's purpose is just the same as my Lurikeen Ranger in DAOC. Which for just over 9 years ruled the dark rooms of Darkness Falls.
    (on both live and Uthgard).

    heheheheheh.

    Guys, making the imperial city mechanics is not really so hard.
    Just copy/paste Daoc's Darkness Falls that was something of awesome. :blush:

    An enormous map with hard mobs encounters, that more you go forward more is rewarding (money? drops? rare materials?), but with an high risk that the gates will open for the other faction switching from pve to pvp.

    just to say, look how wonderful was the daoc map: http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110920111804/camelotherald/images/3/3b/DarknessFallsMap.gif

    I was hoping for small scale PVP, sounds like another area to zerg ball. Are we ever going to get a dueling option in this game?

    Thats a good point, im was thinking the same...how to avoid zerg in imperial city? thats an hard problem to resolve.
  • Mountainrunnin3
    What about Molag Ball doesn't he currently have control over the city? Once the city changes hands will the new faction have to fight the army of Deadra? And if it changes hands again will the army of Deadra repopulate the city?

    when we believed Imperial City was coming "in a while" and that it meant 2014 still.

    quoting the Road Ahead form August :

    “Expect to see in a while”: Imperial City, Champion System

    “Expect to see later”: Justice System, Spellcrafting

    They are waiting for F2P, so they can charge us for entering the Imperial City.

    Discuss.

    This sounds great to be honest, to me it means hours and hours of of street fights while the enemy faction tries to rid us from the Imperial City.

    I am honestly hoping there is a tavern in which we can hide in and wait for the flood of incoming enemies. That way ill finally get a tavern brawl.

    I will rally the guild to the tavern! :p

    M'iaq usually finds the drinking of alcoholic beverages to be a bad mix with war, but in this case he is willing to make an exception. M'iaq shudders with anticipation for his first tavern brawl.
