    Like a console User I was really liking the game, but after all this threats I feel like I don't want to play anymore, so if you don't play for hours or don't have a big group you cannot play, how many people just like to ruin the fun for all the others and then Zos give them just more reasons to do it, so you can't enjoy the content because you lose all your money, you cannot go fight because is a npc left you with low healt somebody will just stand there waiting and kill you, if you're in a group is better to run than to help them, really disappointed about the way they ruin the game for casual players.... And yet you're forced to go there because is the only way to get the end game equipment.... Maybe is better like so many others on the guild and just pass and look for a new game

    I must say.. For me loosing 80% of the stones seem like a great idea at the beginig. I gives you a feeling of consequence if you die and when just few ppl are in one district ( say 3 per alliance) it actually works well.

    But problem starts as soon as there is 8 ppl per alliance or so - fights start to get extra messy especialy if sweeper boss joins in.. Easy way to quickly loose most of your stones and not because u lack skill. Also the ts loss starts to get annoying if you keep geting zerged - when u get 4 ambishes and wrecking blows + some suprise attacks + radiant + frags on you and u die in a second with no time to react. Mybe the population will spread across more district when IC goes live but my guess is there will only be more ppl fighting..

    So my suggestion is that you still loose percentage of the stones but the number can be based on number of contributors to your death. 1v1 can get 80%, but if 1v5 then that number drops to 30% or something. that way they will get next to nothing when u count spreading tvs that among all contibuters and zerging a player wont be the most profitable way, so there would be more solo playing.

    This, I think it should actually be taken down to about 50% to make things fair as we all know IC is going to be a zergfest and once people feel they are not earning anything they are not going to want to go there and they will spread the word and it will fail.

    50% loss still gives a reward to those that killed you but allows you to keep a good amount of what you have earned.

    Hey guys, Shashu of DC. So i have been testing the upcoming patch and have held off making any forum post till the last of the patches come in.
    But, yes a but :-) The tv stones should be 50%
    I have seen a lot of people get group ganked and get farmed for the tv.
    I myself sit back and watch from a distance for the person not dying, then i put all my effort into nailing his / her $%^.
    I know the longer i wait the more work he / she is putting into farming tv stones for me. Yes i have to monitor new arrivals and have a potential to loose the tv stones they carry. But once the heat gets high enough on them i move in and take them 80% of the time. Half the long time pvpers know who the people to watch are. take kro, when the heat gets to much he always leaves his team hanging and escapes out the back. You just have to sit their and wait for him to come to you. Then listen to his stream "why where you guys not on crown?" ahhh the kro rage lol Sorry pleb don't get me wrong if you see this post i do have a ton of respect for your pvp skills and know to keep my distance. Before you stream your QQ on how i cant get you. just have a look at your stats in kill counter, yeah we are 1 for 1 on each other, can post it if you wish. Also sewer camping will be an issue as most people will avoid the other factions entrances. yes i tested this an yes its easy tv, add a immunity after entering to avoid this would be my suggestion. Snipe needs a slight buff, everyone is saying that stam are screwed. Don't buff the damage buff the amount of Armour it passes through or change it to will remove X% shield. Not sure on that one as the next patch will have fixed some of the shield stacking.
    Also i know numbers are low on pts but in the 3 hours i played last night i went well over 100 kills strait but due to people not having or being worth very little tv my counter only just crept up to the x3 multiplayer. And i was only up to 1000 tv only to die once and loose 75% for 3 hours work Not cool hence my 50% suggestion. And that's if the other team gets off there spawn point, add a invisible barrier on the spawn points so people cant shoot out or in and a X% immunity time leaving the spawn arias.
    Anyway hope the info is of use. Shashu DC
    Oh btw the fighters guild trap ability can be spammed in stealth and will kill anyone out of stam or low on stam without ever being seen or pulled from stealth.

    I am okay with it being 80% loss rate, but I still preferred the 100% loss rate.

    Why, when I could still play for free on console? With all these people against this system I sure won't be the only one cancelling my subscription until things change.

    Yeah I fear this expansion will cost them players rather than getting people back.

    No PvE'er will want to play with IC outside the two dungeons, and a lot of PvPers will quit too because they don't like games that cater to griefer mentality.

    They even took away the community gathering part of combined strategy to get access to the place even though there already were one server where everyone already had access.

    And the there is the issue with them ignoring what people said about penetration for over 6 months on the board, then giving mobs very high armor value and then realizing the bug once PTS responses came along, fixing that which now mean the insane armor of mobs destroys stamina dps.....

    No this expansion will be a mess, will cost them a lot of income and endanger future development. :(

    Speak for yourself please. There are is a decently large contingent of people that like to PvE in Cyrodiil. My whole guild, in fact. We're very much looking forward to this expansion.

    PVE in Cyrodiil is great.... when you are on a buff campaign.

    However, when you have to deal with constant zergs and griefing, then the enjoyment goes downhill real quick.

    Actually, the one I'm on shifts back and forth. I don't keep up with the zergs and such. I stay in the cities and in the delves. And I get owned as much as I own. There are a group of players that I pretty much go back and forth with, and we hunt each other in the cities, in the ruins, and in the delves. It's quite fun, and the fun doesn't seem to change whether the territory is ours or theirs.

    I even remember the time that we chased one of them across the hills, and came into a little city and he went into a building to 'hide'. There was a swarm of blues waiting for us! Or the time I sat huddled in a tavern for 30 minutes after we got outmaneuvered and the only place I had to go was in there. Or the reverse... when we happened across an enemy in a building and couldn't be sure that he was so bold as to hide in plain sight.

    Good times, and it doesn't matter if we're on the winning or losing side. I don't know this lagfest zergfest cyrodiil that people cry about. I mean... I understand it, but it's not the same Cyrodiil that I see. Win or Lose, buff or no buff... it's still fun to me.
