IC sure is populated

Went in with a bag of detect pots to finish my skyshards, and nothing but loser nightblades stealthed up over chests, shard and other points. I might have seen five other players besides those dorks in the couple hours I was in there. That took all of a month.

Same here.
Where the hell is ANYONE. Is the game completely empty?

Well, once you've done the quests, collected all the Skyshards and done the 2 Group Dungeons,....

All that's left is a large sandbox to play in

...a very big sandbox....

...a gigantic sandbox...

...with so much sand...

...sand...

I ran into an AD in IC, which surprised me because IC was dead for 3 hours. He just stood there, so I was like wtf is he doing. 15 seconds later I receive a whisper

> lol wut r u doing in here?

Confused, and somewhat curious I reply

> collecting monster teeth. You?

He must have gone afk, because it took him a few minutes to reply

> just getting my money's worth before I uninstall this garbage

Our dialog went on for some time after that, but from what I surmised, he did not like IC because he was running around killing monsters and NPCs, when he thought it was going to be a PVP update. He didn't have hope for any further PVP updates so gave up.

For those wondering what happened next, because he was going to uninstall anyway I destroyed him in 6 seconds and took his Tel Var stones. We are no longer friends.

That's because the lifeblood of Imperial City was the PvE farmer. Most got what they needed and moved on or got frustrated and left. Now you just have collections of would be griefers spending hours in stealth or door camping.

Sounds like the small scale combat that was promised.

Yeah, there's definitely been some small group fights in the Nightblade City DLC

Now you can have solo PvE content, enjoy.

Some people might be running around on the PTS checking out the upcoming DLC.

You guys must be on PC lol...

I wish they would give you guys your own forum already

Cathexis · October 2015

Don't know what server you guys are running on but I run into PvP all the time.

At the very least the memorial district.

If ZOS actually made the update for pvp there would have been objectives and it would have been gated in all campaigns and actually had a purpose to the war. Omg that garbage ass spawning in the districts lol ZOS wtf were you thinkin? Lol
IC was for PVE plain and simple or for insta spawn death match gaggle ***.

PBpsy · October 2015

Ok so can we have some offline solo pvp also?

Gern_Verkheart · October 2015

IC was clearly designed by a PvP'er that doesn't like a challenge, because it's meant as a place for PvP'ers to eat PvE'ers. That is not a recipe for a successful PvP DLC.

WarrioroftheWind_ESO · October 2015

Well good. Serves them right doing absolutely nothing but sitting on their asses for hours on end ganking anyone who even sneezed near a chest. Heaven forbid anyone even try to leave the spawning dock. I had one guy jump me after I'd forced a chest (apparently he expected me to sit there for 30 seconds trying to pick it. 4/4 Locksmith ftw). Well I wolfed out and ate his ass, but apparently he was so offended that how dare a lowly sorc kill him, so he rezzed right away and jumped me again at a second chest. Well the jackass was so focused on me he didn't notice the boss nearby, so I led his ass into her path and booked it for the moat while she tore him a new one. He tried to jump me a third time while finishing the daily, but I killed his pathetic ass again and ported back to base.

I'm 100% certain Amon Crul/Volgath are the only bosses that EVER get killed in IC. There just is no reason to bother killing them in the other districts. The loot they drop is mediocre at best, so is their TV bounty, and in Memorial I've actually seen other factions keep him alive so the aoe can kill other players quicker. If ZOS hadn't reneged on their original plan to have the districts objective based with the special rewards unlockable only by controlling the district, maybe this BS wouldn't be happening, but as usual they took the Oprah Winfrey approach.

There was some awesome 3-way PVP going on in the Arboretum in PC NA Haderus earlier today. I was on an AD character, and the AD players outnumbered the DC and EP in the fight, but enemy players kept pulling the district bosses back to right out in front of the AD spawn point where we'd aggro them as soon as we jumped down. It was a continuous battle that went on for a very long time, with people getting back into the fight as quickly as possible after they were killed.

I was just heading into the district to do the daily quest, but I got sucked into the PVP action and stayed with it for probably half an hour. Died a few times, but contributed to enough enemy deaths that in the end I was up almost 1500 TV stones, so I count it as a win. There was one DC player in particular who killed me once, and who I killed/contributed to the death of probably at least a dozen times. I have to give her/him credit for tenacity and keeping on rushing back into the fight even when significantly outnumbered.

I'm still primarily a PVE player, but boy, I hope to have a few more fights like that...

Who are you kidding? This is our forum - since day one.

That's kind of funny that they're hiding by those things, lol. Makes me want to try that and just whisper to them "I see youuuu"

Maybe if it's so dead in IC we could play hide and seek cross-faction. Only the seeker gets a weapon/armor, and the others have to hide from them, if they die then they get weapons and armor and have to be the next seeker.

Weird for that sort of action on Had. I'm on Azura's NA PC and districts are mostly dead except for memorial. Except for the occasional 4man party doing dailies or the usual ganker NB trash, other districts are relatively quiet. I guess its because of the belated interest in overland Cyro. Other factions had been complaining about falling behind and score, and they're just now beginning to catch up thanks to special star sticker bonus and actually getting off their duffs to do actual pvp. Told'em they could win if they just tried....EP wins once in 6 months and it's "EP TOO STRONK, EXPLOITERZZ" but DC wins 4x in a row, and they're 'honorable".

Not going to lie, I'm not used to seeing it either. That was the 5th district I had gone to this afternoon to do the dailies, and I had hardly seen anyone in the other districts.

Where is everyone? Those of us without veteran nightblades are currently leveling up. In all seriousness, non vet area's over the past two days were very busy. Guess what? there were a multitude of nightblades around, including myself.
We might see an influx of players once all the nightblades get to certain veteran levels & feel comfortable about heading into the IC with a new class.
