Is Imperial City Dying?

Sleep✭✭✭✭Yes, it's dyingI guess it's dying since there are much more people hanging out in Cyrodiil than 1 month before. It should be good for both PvE IC players and Cyrodiil PvP players.2 -
Wycks✭✭✭✭Yes, it's dyingOf course it's dying, the concept of grinding 1-2 mob types for RNG vault drops died 10 years ago.
The concept of not rewarding PvP players though is a great new concept that ZOS is trying out.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 - LOL1 -

✭I'm pretty sure most people in the imperial city are already dead or left, what with the daedric invasion and three banners war going on in the city streets. But then who knows, maybe there's some stubborn people wading it out like those hurricanes we always hear about.

aco5712✭✭✭✭✭Yes, it's dyingits dying because it wasnt what the players wanted.
PvE players didnt want to be forced to pvp and didnt want to endlessly grind for gear.
PvP players didnt want any PvE in this "PvP" update but we got it. We didnt want this new TV system that killed AP. We didnt want endless grinding for new end game gear which we couldnt get with just PvPing. We wanted to tie Cyro to IC but that didnt happen.
This update was a fail in many many aspects.... Listen to the players next time ZOS.Banned for Naming and Shaming exploiters. Great ideology ZOS.

Listen to whom ? To you ? you don't represent ALL the players, nobody does, and participants in this forum don't either.
I don't think IC is dying at all, it surely is less populated than a month ago but that's the usual "launch hype" that decreases and things are just going back to normal, they way they should be.
And I'm having a blast in IC, especially in the districts : mobs you have to aggro wisely to not be overwhelmed, situational awareness required at all times because of the PvP risk... I just love it and go there everyday.
I'm less interested in the sewers which have a completely different game design and are mostly a farming zone.
Stop saying "we" when you should say "I", don't assume you know what players want because there is no such thing, players like and dislike different things.

✭Yes, it's dyingImgaine when Orsinium comes out and you will be able to just harvest V16 mats like everything else. Im afraid IC will become ghost town. Probably a good idea right now is to farm some v16 mats there for a week or two and sell them all, because they are gonna lose their value a lot.Georgion - Bosmer/Templar - PC/EU1 -

Corzz✭✭✭Yes, it's dyingtoo many mobs for pvp players.
too many players for pve players.
try to make it best of both worlds and neither of the worlds will play it. As people said everyone are geared up now so no need for it pvp players went back to cyro and well yeah I dunno what pve players do in this patch but when the new gear with the new patch comes out ill probably farm my materials there despite being a pvp player.
I tried to pvp in the districts which was the thing i enjoyed most but everytime I went to fight a nightblade he aggro's mobs and cloaked away and and came back to execute.DC

✭Although, I will go to IC with my guild, IC has nothing left for me and hasn't had anything for me since the first week. I refuse to grind for armor and my V14 crafted gold staff hits for more damage than the purple staves that are there. I have settled on V15 armor as there is so little difference between V15 and V16 that it doesn't matter. I /may/ upgrade to V16 when Orsinium drops as there are nodes to harvest as well as drops which may make the unreasonable amount of materials more bearable. I did like the quest in IC, but it was way too short. I have no interest in daily quests.
And quite frankly, I hate what IC has done to Cyrodil PVP. We are often poplocked but not enough people to defend the keeps or the scrolls which are being stolen on a daily basis. Being pushed back to the gates every day because of IC is frustrating. The fact that all of those in IC are counting towards our population is giving the low population bonus to the AD, instead of the DC which IS the smallest faction. The AP in IC should not count for the leader board, as we had one Emp who never came out of IC, so was completely useless as an Emp. IC should have been its own zone, and not part of Cyrodil. Gated access would have fixed things but ZOS has yet to gate either of the main campaigns.0 -
Addihul✭✭✭Yes, it's dyingThe city and sewers may be dying, but WGT/ICP farming is still very real. It's about all we do now a days. I'm all for the slow down. It just means less competition for the grind spots.Pevara La'Roche - NA / DC - The Order of Mundus - http://orderofmundus.com0 -
Hiero_Glyph✭✭✭✭✭IC is a great idea that failed in execution. PvE'ers have resorted to zerging to stay relatively safe and still being able to farm efficiently enough. PvP'ers have to hope to gank or must counter zerg but AoE caps make it pretty pointless with the 50% damage nerf in place (once for battle spirit, and again for AoE caps). The grind for TV stones and vault trophies is really bad and now Orsinium is already making some of those sets obsolete. There is no control aspect for the districts yet so these are just PvP with near instant respawns. Other than quests and vaults there really isn't a reason to stay up there.
Is IC dying? Yes, but it will still serve a purpose in the future.Edited by Hiero_Glyph on October 7, 2015 2:28PM0 -

vr14 gold staff is crap against vr16 gold staff. vr16 gear enchants are much better than vr15.
Said that, IC failed because just is a korean style grindfest that noone likes, so everyone grinds his mats and gtfo. And PVP in IC, well, it sucks. In the best moments was a team deathmatch that got old very fast, now is ocasional gankers against pve grinders. Elite PVP
Overal IC failed, thats the reason ZOS is pushing Orsinium so fast, the player bleed must be insane.0
