PvP buffs and PvE

Forestd16b14_ESO · June 2015

So just gonna get straight to the point. Should the PvP buffs be removed from PvE or the game.

Removed from PvE- Would hopefully stop the encouragement of buff servers and haveing big name PvE guilds zerg empty servers and gate camp them turning them into there factions buff server. You guys don't need that extra 500 health just to get horrible loot from trails.

Removed from the game- Kinda straight forward cause let's be honest if a faction owes a server they have all the buffs giving like a extra what is it 500 health and 5% weapon and spell power making already pleanty powerful players even more powerful cause some one sided stuff.... Like one player able to take on 5 other same level players. But can cause some turn arounds say if you faction owns no scrolls but alot of keeps can kinda keep the battlefield even.

buffs are fine but implement a dynamic campaign distribution, where the first campaign defines out of cyrodiil buff values wich then will truely be contested 24/7.

This poll has appeared so many times on this forums, that I won't even bother to vote, It should be clear what community wants regarding those buffs.

Thing is, if they remove it, what is the point of pvp other than AP farming?

While I absolutely agree that the bonuses are unfair, as some factions don't have any so called 'buff' servers. This, while the actual buffs might not seem substantial, do have an effect on trails for example, making it harder for people with no buffs to compete.

You could remove it from pve completely, but then you take away the initiative for people to actually set a home on a pvp server and possibly joining and liking it. Keep in mind, people that have their homes set to any campaign do not use up a slot when they are not in there.

If ZOS does decide to remove the buffs from the game completely, why would anyone go after the scrolls? Perhaps the collective mind of the community could think up of some suggestions that could perhaps replace the scroll buffs in such a case.

There are some people out there who actually enjoy PvP and will PvP for the sake of PvPing. There are games out there which don't even have PvE and are mostly PvP.

Remove it from PvE

Remove it from outside Cyro. Or make some sort of way for them to only effect players who have done anything in Cyro. It would be enough to go there, help out your alliance for an hour, then off. But only pick the campaign is silly....

Remove it from the game

I say ditch em, and come up with a different reward system. Like the OP says, these buffs are usually just amping up players that generally don't need them. Not true in every case, but I am speaking very broadly. The thing that put me off PVP early on was my ignorance of the existence of buff campaigns. I know all about them now, and make sure to stay on the most competitive campaign I can find... But getting stuck on an enemy buff with a character too weak to do anything but scout or die often is about as enjoyable painting an Elder Scroll on a brick wall and repeatedly smashing it with your face. Even when I got into the buff campaign for my alliance it was no fun because there wasn't anyone to fight. I can see why people would fight for their buffs, but honestly guys you don't need them. I have played 95% of the game without buffs, and it's not so bad I ever noticed.

I'd rather see them address it by implementing this system: http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/174847/its-time-to-seriously-discuss-how-to-revamp-and-fix-ava-population-imbalances-and-rewards

Assuming no change is made with a broader overhaul like my feedback lays out and designs, then they may be best off removed from Trial zones and Arena zones in PVE.

In principle I'd say remove some of it from PVE, but buff servers seem to be becoming less and less of a thing.

Nothing wrong with it. (aka the guy who just scream L2P at every one)

The PvP buffs should stay, but other faction's keeps should slowly degrade, irreparably losing 15% of their maximum health per day until re-captured by their home faction.
