I don't want to leave Cyrodiil

Hedonista · October 2015

I want to start off saying that ESO has LOADS of content. The questing story lines are well thought out and very enjoyable.
However, there's only so many times I can do them before they start to wear me down.

Despite certain issues in Cyrodiil, it's honestly fun as hell.
-Running solo, fighting other small groups, and helping out a keep defenses/ attacks...all fun.
-Being on point while heading to a town in Cyrodiil to pick up or turn in a quest
-Jumping in a delve to grab a shard, not knowing who the heck is in there.

Unfortunately, the experience gain while PVP'ing is so far behind PVE questing, it's really not viable. That's unfortunate.

I've done Cadwell's silver/ gold and I think it's a good idea to let factions see other faction quest lines. I just don't want to do it ever again.

I enjoy the fluid, constant changing dynamics of Cyrodiil. I love when I get a kill that I didn't expect to be able to pull off.

Please increase experience gains in Cyrodiil in order to make it more in line with PVE questing.

Thanks!

i started in beta and early access and when i hit level 10 i stayed in cryodiil and made it my home, ive been there ever since and only left to go into imperial city when it released.
you are not alone in your path.
i came to elderscrolls online looking for morrowind and Vvardenfell. and untill i see that expansion and area (if it even will ever exist) ill be waiting in cryodiil and imperial city sewers.

It's been said again and again... PvP just doesn't pay enough expees. I'd much rather they buff PvP gains, and nerf grinding then how it is now...

I suppose if you join 5 well stocked guilds, any bank will do. Or use an alt maybe?

You know what I think would be nice to have for PvP in addition to an exp boost?

No matter if you're in Imperial City or Cyrodiil, all players that you manage to kill drop a satchel(or anything that can initiate a loot table), and this loot table would be very similar to that of our current mob loot table. You wouldn't be taking from the player, but you would have a chance at gaining a small amount of gold, tiered weapons and armour, gylphs etc. you get the idea. Similar loot that you would get from PVE would also be available from players.

I am hoping when they drop VET levels I will never have to do Cadwell Silver and Gold ever again. Only things which concern me will be the lack of skill points from quests and sky shards.

So you gain XP, AP, and loot? Remember that the "Rewards for the Worthy" is basically this already.

The only response I've ever heard about this from ZOS was during an ESO live episode one of the devs said they won't raise the XP in cyrodiil because it would cause people to grind xp there.

It kind of makes sense too, if they raised the XP in cyrodiil pvp, you could just get a few people to switch factions and die over and over to you, and you would end up getting more XP per hour than any other part of the game. They can't control player behavior so they limit the xp to make it less exploited. It already happens with people AP/emp farming, so you know it would only get worse if XP was raised.

Right... there is no control over how difficult the fight is in PvP.

Think of "Rewards for the Worthy" as the equivalent reward compensation for not having any Public or Group Dungeons in Cyrodiil. Sure you have Public Delves, but those are just delves with no exp boost like Public Dungeons and no real chance at interesting loot like Group Dungeons.

And what a terrible response that was. If they wished to flex that creative muscle, then they could have restricted bonus exp to certain areas that are likely to be heavily populated in that campaign. For example, while in Keep areas you gain an exp boost etc. and if they really wish to be stingy with Cyrodiil exp, put a cap on the "boost" so that it wears off after a certain amount of time once the battle is over.

They think too much on the side of "So many ways this could get exploited", but not much of a thought of how it could work if they done this and that.
