Hardcore PVP?

Chrlynsch · May 2015

Would you like to see a campaign with special hardcore rules?
-Player collision activated
-Roll dodging/crouching should let you pass through
-aoe does 50% damage to allies
-Allies and enemies create line of sight issues much like when a npc walks in front of another

Not saying it's technically possible but should zos try?

Perma-death.

Other camps with special rules would be cool. Make them not have the emp mechanic so no emp trading.

Pretty nice idea. Also if you expect someone is a spy you can send them to a trial of sorts where they have to prove themselves.

And when you die I get to loot your gear.

That would be a campaign exclusive for solo burst builds. Since playing around allies will be a handicap with collision, friendly fire and ESO's slugging targeting system combined with player LoS.

Would mainly be populated by dodge-bots in sneak and few sorcerers. Builds with hard hitting single target nukes, mobility, escapes and ability to dodge past player collision without stamina issues.

I rather have duels or arena, for small scale PvP. Half-empty campaigns where people cant find the enemy, because everyone sitting in sneak waiting for something to jump, it sounds like a waste of server capacity.

I just want to strip corpses for some quality ERP.

I wish there was full drop; then I could finally sell all that junky trials gear clogging up my bank!

I can see where your coming, by removing the player LoS it may make it a little better. That being said this system allows a few things to happen that I do think your missing.

-Highly skilled/organized players may take on mindless zergs, By creating a deadly vendiagram you can aoe effectively without hurting teamates.

-larger the zerg more chance it has to eat itself.

-less aoe = less lag look at lowbie server.

I think they should fix what they have before spending one minute thinking about anything else.

^This.

I guess no one expects ZOS to get something like that done, but I sure would play on that campaign with my guild.
Outside Thorn, I can literally find only trains, and Thorn itself is full of them, too...
I wouldn't even care wether I get ranks or any kind of reward, as long as I get enough potions...

Yup, lootable gear would be great. Have to buy/craft new gear to re-enter campaign. EVE style.
Would boost the economy for crafters.

IxSTALKERxI · May 2015

The server wouldn't be able to handle player collision. Also this is a troll paradise... deliberately getting in peoples way and even killing them... really?

No block casting UNLESS you have a shield and its a self heal

Farorin · May 2015

That would be great, maybe with a few tweaks here and there, but in general I just love the idea of different rule set campaigns, and different functions and goals. Variety is fun.

King Bozo · May 2015

Yes we need hardcore pvp I have had this idea in the back of my mind. All damage you do should damage everyone you hit by accident or not. This would add more skill to the game peroid and challenge all Players. Should you get killed by a friendly 3 times they should be booted for 15 min or so. That may sound rough but that is why it would be called hardcore.

Ley · May 2015

It would be pretty cool but I suspect it would take a lot of man hours to implement and there are a lot of other things I'd like to see done before that. That and if they were going to make a hardcore campaign, they'd have to do more than just what you suggested for it to feel like a big enough deal for me. Just a few ideas off the top of my head for hypothetical hardcore siege mechanics.

-Increasing siege damage vs players.
-Letting players carry only 1 piece of siege equipment at a time (load up on repair kits).
-Making siege take longer to fire.
-Making siege harder to aim (take a shot, see where it lands, adjust as needed).

If they got around to it some day, sure I'd enjoy it.

Waste of resources

AhPook_Is_Here · May 2015

Best idea ever! Please do this!

cozmon3c_ESO · May 2015

Yeah let's enjoy perma death in addition to insta-death ! yeah ! so much fun !

Concerning OP, more activities in Cyrodiil would be better than this

Because it does not sound that much fun and they have considered those ideas (player collision) when creating the game and it did not make it.

Friendly fire is not for MMORPGs.

If you aren't gambling, what's the point of throwing the bones?

ToRelax · May 2015

Perma-Death would be a bit much for me, especially with the state of the game right now ^^.
But a good death penalty should be in for sure.
