In today's soon to be released patch notes.........
We're currently looking at a few more hours of downtime for today's maintenance. In the meantime, here's a fun new note to whet your appetite:
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%.
Note: While this buff will be visible in areas outside of Cyrodiil, it will only be active while in Cyrodiil.
Zerg through Delves than on to keeps?
I believe that I understand the reasoning behind the change (divert at least some people from main PVP action in order to reduce lag). If it works it might even be a great idea. My issue with this is this....My main is EP. We usually have ques of 100+ for Thornblade and several other campaigns are pop-locked frequently. When a campaign is pop-locked and you enter an instanced dungeon in Cyrodiil, you cannot get back into the campaign or must wait until it is un-poplocked. It is a horrendous thing to experience, and I would like to encourage the devs to rethink this situation if indeed this is the new direction for PvP (to encourage dungeon completion). I also wonder if this could pose an issue when the Imperial City is opened up for PvP. Maybe there is a way to un-instance Cyrodiil dungeons and problem solved? IDK
If what @WebBull says is true.... Then I thought this should be brought to someone's attention before many many people are up in arms about it.

Last time I checked entering a delve is effectively removing you from Cyrodiil. When you try to leave the dungeon, if the Cyro population is locked, you get a message saying:
"The location you are travelling to has population controls in place"....or something to that effect.
Your only option in that case is to teleport to a buddy somewhere outside of Cyro and queue all over again.
Imagine going into a PvP Delve, killing the boss, getting the 1-hour buff, then getting kicked out and placed in a queue for 40 mins
Apparently they fixed this recently to count cyrodiil pop in delves as well. Don't quote me on this but I was informed by a reliable source, anyone recently check on how this works on a pop locked campaign?NukeAllTheThings wrote: »mike.gaziotisb16_ESO wrote: »Sounds like a great change, but I think there's a flaw in it.

Late Saturday night EP Chillrend was pop locked I was running by a delve and hopped in to see what the XP was like. I came out back to the campaign (although the 2 minute loading screen was a little frustrating). I went in with a friend yesterday while we were pop locked and came out ok as well. I am sure when I try it tonight all hell will break loose and I will have the game melt on me

Rook_Master✭✭✭✭✭100+ Queue is absurd anyway. I don't know how you would have the patience for something like that.
I remember when 1.6 dropped and I had a queue of 2 for DC I was like, "what the hell is this 'queue' you speak of?"0 -

✭ZOS Fix for lag.
Give people a reason to go into Cyrodil Delves, getting a buff for defeating bosses.
Then make the buff pointless, because they get locked out of Cyrodil overland, and the Queue time exceeds the buff.
Well played ZOS, well played....1
