Great, a resource that encourages min-maxer VR16's with 3000 CP to hang out in Imperial City all day ganking every normal player who even thinks about entering the city. That'll sure make it fun for us normal players.

✭The solution is simple. As soon as you earn a stone, mail it to a guildie, a friend, or to a secondary account, and you'll never lose one.6 -

LOL, I was thinking that but I wasn't going to say it, now they will be bound :'(
They probably thought of that alreadyIf options weren't necessary, and everyone played the same way, no one would use addons. Fix the UI!4 -
Why do you assume they can be mailed from within the city?~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

✭✭✭✭✭The word "lootable" I think invites bad responses. Reword it, and maybe it doesn't sound as bad:

I didn't "murder" him, your honor. I merely afforded him the opportunity for a heavenly reward.7 -

Just the Tel Var stones that you had on you. And it's only if you get killed by another player.1 -

IMO, PVEers should travel in groups of 10 or more and have a tank with guard on while questing. Make it require more than a solo ganker oneshot combo to take their stones.V16 Uriel Stormblessed EP Magicka Templar(main)

Kloud✭✭✭I guess everyone is forgetting the damage nerfs I think insta killing isn't gonna be so ez I for one am happy about the reward of being able to loot something in pvp so people might actually wanna get good at pvp but I'm a old school pvper from ultima online so it just brings back memories of have to survive and be good so you don't lose your stuff xD8

Why bother trying to get an army together to protect you from gankers so you can PvE? Hardly seems worth the hassle.

Unfortunately, it's going to happen anyway. I get a kick out of the pathetic players in PvP that will camp delve entrances and skyshards for hours in order to get kills.1 -

That depends on what the stones are actually good for. If they're just trophies, then yeah, why bother. But if they're more akin to Nirncrux, then watch your back, cause you're gonna die fast if you don't go into IC with an army.

Because its fun? Games are designed for mindless pvers and its nice to spoil the party for them every once in a while and force them to actually think on their feet. A pvp player dies and shrugs it off and moves on but a PVEr cries, posts for nerfs on the forums and campaigns for the removal of all player conflict in every aspect of an mmo.

My husband and I had logged out at the start of a delve in Cyro and had just logged in the other morning, I mean literally and were figuring out what we were off to do when an enemy stepped in and we killed him
I actually hate that there is no way to be not be pvp in the pve aspects of Cyro. You can't communicate "don't taze me bro, just gettin shards" or something.
But it is a small price to pay to keep it condensed to one map (imo)If options weren't necessary, and everyone played the same way, no one would use addons. Fix the UI!1 -

Allow me to direct you to the alliance war and PvP combat section of this forum that has hundreds of nerf and whine threads created by, you guessed it, PvP'ers.....

I like it but I would make it opt in. If you opt in you can lose your stones but also get 2-3 extra stones per 1 you earn by questing. Opt out\in on weekly cool down.
