ZOS_JessicaFolsomCommunity ManagerThey are actually encouraging the population to spread out and start a new PVP meta of smaller skirmishes. There will be a somewhat sizable part of the population that will simply camp dungeon entrances or boss locations inside delves now. This is actually "stupid" enough to have a rather large effect.
In addition, some of our community have long requested better incentives to do the delves in Cyrodiil, and increase the skirmishes in them. The general feeling was that the Cyrodiil delves were not worth the potential risk. This change is in response to that feedback, too.

To my future AD & EP victims, you didn't have to go into this delve, you are here because you are greedy and your greed has now left you in a puddle of blood.

So how long until friendly fire. People want that too. Doesn't mean it is a good idea.4 -

You haven't read patch notes? XP Boosts to Cyrodill for the past 3 downtimes, not talking about bugs buddy, I mean we got a trials boost but honestly it's little to nothing from what it was, meh@ZOS_GinaBruno Please confirm if EXP Potions will be available, all these boosts to Cyrodill and no love to PvE
PvE players need love too Gina
You're joking right? They haven't given PvP'ers anything new, or fixed long standing bugs.
Question for you, why would ZEN spend all the time to make 3 alliances, if they were not interested in PVP? Would it not be better to not make any alliances and just 1 big area for questing and PVE ala EQ? Zen needs to make up its mind on what it should cater too, but PVP definately needs more help than PVE.1 -
FireCowCommando✭✭✭✭✭For anyone wondering why they dont post the notes while the servers are down...
It might be because people over react to changes before they get inside the game, and the community managers just sit there for hours and hours as threads/posts pop up they have to moderate4 -

I'm not even starting an argument about what is more important I'm just saying a lot of the game at the moment needs a complete Experience Gain overhaul, they're working on PvP, that's great news for PvP players, I'm just saying PvE needs love too

✭For what it's worth, I think the AP buff change is very positive (not what I would have done, but certainly positive). I myself will be going into delves to kill bosses and anything else within, hopefully everyone else does too =DWorld First Hel Ra / AA clear

I knew it!! Cyrodiil delves becoming gank fests!
They already started to be gank sites since recent xp increase, but I don't see any reason why should whole damn zergs or 5-6 people go to one dungeon it's just lame, beacuse there should be limit on how much people can enter cyrodiil delve in single group! @ZOS_GinaBruno please take a look at this idea!Edited by ArconSeptim on March 30, 2015 3:57PM0 - If you contribute to killing a boss in a Cyrodiil delve, you will now be granted a 60-minute AP buff which increases your AP gains by 20%.

✭Hello Jessica, Hello Gina,
@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom Can other bosses outside of delves in Cyrodiil also grant this AP buff ?Restoration is a perfectly valid school of magic, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! - Spells and incantations for those with the talent to cast them!0 -

Btw @ZOS_GinaBruno while I love your hair and your style and I simply love you, please why don't you add besides AP gains, XP gains like this one similar working only in Cyrodiil? 0 - If you contribute to killing a boss in a Cyrodiil delve, you will now be granted a 60-minute AP buff which increases your AP gains by 20%.

Thats the thing. For 20% this idea of a gank is off. I'm telling you; it will be zergs. A gank squad in there is going to be like a hair clog in a pipe and the zerg will come pouring through like Drano. And they will be in and out of there just as fast.Edited by technohic on March 30, 2015 3:56PM2 - If you contribute to killing a boss in a Cyrodiil delve, you will now be granted a 60-minute AP buff which increases your AP gains by 20%.

That's not what I mean. Options are always a good thing but I predict gankers camping delves now in force. That's not necessarily a bad thing but you know how some people already get pissed at PvE players not contributing and taking up space in the queue? Add a bunch of gankers on top of that now.
DAOC had a big dungeon out in the three frontiers (before the new frontier) that was always open and I liked it but the frontiers had no population caps.

We'll see how it plays out. I plan to go there solo/small group, and others probably will as well. This might turn out to be a boon for freelancers and players who prefer small engagements over dysfunctional lag-blob-zergfests.

Don't forget that if it works an people spread out, it might be possible to increase pop locks again.

You mean POC? It was a nice place, I agree. Darkness Falls was better and LoTM... even moreso. ESO basically has their population caps just below where the servers would crash. I'd call it an improvement over DAOC where we just had them crash when under high load .
