Any point to me buying the dlc?

Kholty22 · September 2015

I am just looking for some opinions. I haven't even reached vr14 yet, quite frankly I have a while before I even get there. I'm only vr3 and vr1 on 2 other toons. Is there a point to buying it? I don't want to waste money on something that won't even benefit me right now. But maybe i'm missing something...

If you feel like it won't benefit you now then wait. DLC will still be there if you want it.

If you enjoy pvp then yes go for it, I'm a v6 and am enjoying it very much, killed countless v16s solo.

If you like Cyrodiil, Yes.

If you like or want to PVP, Yes.

Players can enter Cyrodiil AND IC at level 10. WHILE a level 10 will be at a huge disadvantage, they CAN enter both.

If you expect to not get killed by other players and loose your IC coins. No.

If you expect solo content. No.

If you expect it to be easy. No.

As a solo VR6 Nightblade wandering around in the city and the sewers, I've had a lot of fun so far. There are chests you can pick for loot and Tel Var stones, there's exploration experience to get, and there's a number of Sky Shards you can collect.

The danger of being killed, either by another player or one of the overpowered mobs in the zone fits perfectly with Nightblade too. Normally we can just plow into packs of mobs and Cuisinart them to death. In IC, if you're a lowbie, its definitely worth playing it like a stealth game.

The battle scaling makes players under v14 reasonably powerful. If you've got zero interest in PvP, then yes, wait, but If you think you might be interested, then sure, it's worth it. There are some lower level sets that are very strong in conjunction with the battle leveling. You'd want to aim for % increases (like the regen increase from willow's path.

I didn't buy the DLC, instead I went with ESO plus. Glad I did cause IC is fun and all but not really my cup of tea. It's like they couldn't decide if they were making a PvE or a PvP DLC. I can see maybe 3 months tops before it becomes low population like Craglorn. Myself, I'm glad I went ESO plus for a month cause I got to check out the DLC and can carry the crowns over for the next DLC (which is suppose to be more solo/pve freindly).

The main quest is about 6 to 8 hours long visiting each district. I didn't level up 1 VR from the entire IC quest line at VR 12. If you don't play now then good luck with IC main quest a month from now. There's some real big baddies that need a group to take down like the Temple Titian.

Interesting..
We had a guildie who was VR14 and killed a mob to be VR15 right before we started doing all six districts, a group of six guildies, two of whom had done the whole thing already. We did all six district quests inside of two and a half hours, including the final fight. She dinged VR16 before we went into the concluding dungeon. Part of the time savings was because we had guides who knew where to go..
I wonder if you didnt level because, at 5 levels below level of the quest, you had a handicap.

I soloed the entire quest line and stealth past trash mobs. Didn't need a group since there's so many players in IC right now. I ran in and tagged the boss to get credit. That's probably why your group was leveling up so fast. You're fighting as you go along.

If you purchase the dlc you have access to 2 new dungeons, that's the only reason why i got it. I'm not much into pvp either, maybe for now anyway

^This. Do this. That's the advice I've been giving to everyone who's on the fence about whether to get this DLC. Subscribe for a month, don't spend the crowns you get with your sub, and then you've got a month to try out IC and decide if you like it enough to buy it. If you do, then you've already got 1500 crowns to put toward the price. If you don't, then you're sitting on 1500 crowns to put toward the next DLC if you want to buy that one.
