What's The point of going to cyrodiil now ?

I loved this patch, when i tested on the PTS and thought that blocking access based on a number of keeps was a great idea to keep some fight in cyrodiil and act as communicating vessels (ppl that don't have access to IC can more easily get keeps in cyrodiil and block access to other factions).
Now, the only reason to get in Cyro is crowning IC farmed emperors.
Yeah....
That's very sad.

Hard to belive, since cyro will be even less populated (yeah shared population with IC) so after the new thing fade goes away it still will be taking population. Before IC to have a decent "simulation" of epic conflict you needed a pop locked camg. Now even with 1/3 of campgain population in ic (doubt it will get lower anytime soon) you simply wont have enough people to do anything but pvdoor and perhaps a gank from time to time.1 -
FireCowCommando✭✭✭✭✭Fighting over access gave meaning behind owning a keep for the first time since release.
Too many players complained, and the design of Cyrodiil suffered.
The reason there is no reason to be in Cyrodiil is because of the complaints. If your mad at the game being less enjoyable, go kill the people responsible as they try to progress their characters in IC.
Sucks that they finally had a plan to breathe more life into PvP in general, only to be QQ'ed before it hit launch.2 -
k2blader✭✭✭✭✭I think once the min-maxers get their maxed out VR16 gear Cyrodiil will have more population. Not sure how much fun it'll be, but we'll see.

Oddly enough the PvE'rs complained the most and now they are the same ones whining about PvP in IC. If keeps were required to gain entrance to IC, their chance of PvEing safely in IC would have been higher as only one or two alliances would have access at a time. They screwed themselves and at the same time killed Cyrodiil and left IC with no PvP objectives (or need).

Lol! Yeah, i figured that would be a great way to pair up PvE and PvP guilds in a faction. PvE players who only want safe access donate stones in return for the PvP guild controlling Cyrodiil. Instead everyone goes in IC and the rest of the map goes empty =/
IMO its not novelty thats going to wear off in IC, once players get geared and no longer need TV stones at all, THEN they will likely move back out to a more enjoyable experience. Avoiding the instant respawn combat of IC.1 -
AshTal✭✭✭✭I prefer cyrodil as a place to PvP the problem is while it shows my campaign and my guest one full they are all stood in the Pact base moving every 10 mins to stay logged in while they eat and the smurfs actually have 2 raids beating the hell out of all our keeps. All the people in IC should be removed from Crodil, nice idea having entrances there but right now it just hides the actual numbers trying to win the war.2 -
Valn✭✭✭✭✭I suspect people will start to get bored of IC and therefore get bored of cyrodiil in general because it's "old"1 -
ijacksparrowed✭✭✭People will start to play cyrodiil again once IC gets played out. It just came out and everyone wants to play it.2 -

but think of it this way with everyone in ic it will be easier to find the skyshards in pvp for the ppl who haven't yet haha1 -

So 6 months then?
Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

You think it'll take them that long? I'm guessing more like 2 months. Whatever they don't farm they can buy. Will they make IC or Cyrodiil more fun? No.

AssaultLemming✭✭✭✭There are apparently 11 new sets in the rewards for the worthy, which will probably be the difference between cyro being rewarding or not. Anyone know what these are yet? Be interesting to see the first ones show up when the first 7 day campaigns end..0

I was curious about this even though the thought doesn't appeal. Aren't the mobs still VR12 so not as much XP? I didn't pay attention to how much XP I got in my few hours of IC last night. But the way I see it is in IC you're at least getting drops which will provide mats and some TV stones. I'm aiming for slow-but-steady..

Czeri✭✭✭✭✭Ooh, so now is a good time to go and do Cyrodil PvE quests undisturbed? That'd be neat. I always thought it was a stupid idea to stick so many PvE achievements in there.6 -

I just did that ealier today on my secondary main... though with many people having that very idea, I still got ganked a few times. Serves me right for being a sorceror and riding around in plain sight... on the other hand... I -did- ride around in plain sight, did two towns deepest in enemy territory, and still only got ganked twice...Ooh, so now is a good time to go and do Cyrodil PvE quests undisturbed? That'd be neat.

This ^ once again bad decisions by people who should be acting like leaders instead is listening to whiners.The numbers thing is always going to be there, but it’s more down to player skill and there are ways through ability choice to configure a group to be stronger vs. large groups of people. - BRAIN WHEELER - 2012 - LOL2 -

LiquidZ✭✭✭Yeah it sucks not having anything to do in Cyrodiil now. The only groups that I can find are groups of people trying to make it to the sewers in a different area because they keep getting ganked at their own sewer entrance. lol. I don't think it should be necessary to buy the DLC just to enjoy the game seeing as how I just started playing about 2 weeks ago but it seems that is the case. Nobody defends keeps. Campaign is RIP. I am starting to see no reason to play without buying the DLC but I don't really want to buy the DLC because I haven't been able to fully experience the sieges yet. Which are one of the coolest parts of this game. Am sad... Am cry... (Q_Q)0

Carter_DC✭✭✭In PVP, players go where players are. As long as everybody stays in IC, there will be no one in cyro period.
And yes, as I said, i loved this patch. past tense...because, lets face it, ZOS are gonna give in to every whinings and in 1 month tops even the new vet dungeons are gonna be nerfed (they already have been btw compared to first week of PTS, i loved the dots in the WGT jails, where you had 6 seconds to live without heals).
You guys at ZOS did once again an amazing job. And once again you're gonna screw this up. Stick to your convictions guys ! And give us back PVP in cyrodiil with keep-controled acces to IC.
Just ease the access so it's easier but not free. Teleport access to the nearest keep form the sewers would be really easy and give us a reason to go back in cyro. And you only need 2 keeps to have access (eg : Drakelowe + Alessia for AD).High Kinlady Estre was right ! Hail to the Veil !
