Imperial City, oh my god...

Had so much fun on PTS, The only way anyone can think this is a bad thing is if they think PVP is a bad thing.

My wife and I personally found it to be amazing. No more horse riding simulator just to find a fight, fast paced combat that doesn't end too quickly, risk/reward, so many elements of strategy, thought and planning to do with NPCs, PCs, environment, etc. It just has a lot going for it, and I can definitely see myself buying this DLC.

the only thing I dislike is the nerf to stam regen while blocking, which I am hoping they revisit.

Other than that, some lag, and a few crashes, but that is to be expected of something on a PTS, I am sure the majority of the big issues will be ironed out mostly before release.

    The one thing that irked me was, I had another driver related CTD while I was in the city. Which meant I had to limp back home with my tail between my legs. Not exactly the feeling that ZoS was going for.

    That said, yeah, the IC is amazing. We'll have to see if ZoS actually got rid of buff servers or not. If they didn't that's going to be an absolute blast for PvErs.

    I had fun too. As long as it doesn't become a zerg feast or full of door camping griefers, it is a lot of fun. A lot of fun is lost though when you go through a door to be meet by 4-5 people spamming AOE's on the door. This leads to you dying before you can even load into the zone!

    Yeah I came across campers once, but the time I did I was able to sneak past them thanks to the elevated platforms. But I agree, as is now it works okay, but there is still room for some players to be butts about it and try to wreck the fun, hopefully if this happens, ZOS will be able to respond quickly and implement some kind of fix or incentive against the problem behavior.

    This happens in game already, people camp doors within Keeps. Its actually one thing I wonder why no-one havent whined about it. I remember when Camping was extremely evil thing, people are losing their grip it seems.

    Because if you're camping a keep door, you're one message (in a zone chat you can't see) away from certain demise.

    I agree. I had a blast in IC last night. I've got no urge to go back to the live game right now.

    Best way to deal with campers is to pull their tent pegs out of the ground. ;)

    Same goes for gankers who camp Cyrodiil quest turn-ins, like Bruma.

    Completely agree. I had some expected PTS related client crashes, but I didn't have ANY PvP lag and the campaign was full the whole time. Sometimes I'd explore an entire district without seeing more than 2 or 3 enemies. It was incredible. I love IC.

    I can even deal with this as there are counters like popping mage light and scoping out an area before you just run to the quest turn in. Its a PVP zone and gankers are expected.

    Having people who stand behind a door and spam AOEs so you are dead before you can even load in, there is no counter to this!

    Yeah that's true, particularly if the loading screen is bugged and your toon is loaded before it disappears. Maybe there should be a small dead-zone around the doors?

    Less with that, in my experience because the campers aren't literally sitting on the enemy transit network with a "please kill me sign" over their head.

    Well, I was able to give it a brief try this morning before leaving for work. I had fun for a little bit running around the sewers fighting some daedra, and throwing some pot-shots at an enemy sorcerer who was racing around (with a bunch of friendly players chasing him). I went to exit the sewers to get into the city proper, and when my loading screen was done I was greeted by the sight of a bunch of enemy players fighting something. I didn't have time to react or see whether they were fighting mobs or friendly players before I crashed. :( Hopefully I'll have better luck later.

    3 second "sewer sickness" after load, where you can't attack, block, or use skills, but also can't be affected by attacks or effects.

    That would also counter people spamming heals at the door.
