Well this weekend was the first time I really played in IC ; i peaked in a few times before but left really quick.

I actually liked it. I did run into the flag guy a few times, which deals so much damage I am not sure how anyone could even beat him.

Before I left, AD ganked me for most my stones, but I still had fun. What I like most about IC is the armor sets they have on sell. They look really interesting for PvP.

@ZOS_BrianWheeler
or any dev

Hello Brain and players who are actually reading this;

Im writing this because i love this game so damn much and i love the PvE and PvP aspect to the game but there is one thing i was so excited about the game coming this year, yet felt so disappointed after the first week of players instantly leaving it and forgetting it... 'The Imperial City' .
When this Dlc was coming out i was so excited and was so looking forward to the PvP within a City/Sewers with the Sweepers in the sewers clearing zergs to the massive hulking Horror bosses upstairs being a nightmare for all sides and the districts are so well done and beautifuly made you got the vision of a dedric invasion perfect from the Dedra them selves claiming victory, to the first enterence of the city through sewers expecting army ready but got deppersed soilders who just wanted to go home (From EP side), To the City to feeling giving this deppersing yet giving the 'this is the last stand feeling' and the music is just so MWAH perfect!. Now i gave you love you deserve Zenimax now lets crack down to buissness and why im writing this up.

If you the player have entered the city lately you can most likely tell that its dead... there are no players there except the ones who grind for stones and thats sad as it was such hyped Dlc. So Zenimax my first question is?

• Are you planning on going back to the DLC and give life to what you created?

This is a question alot friends, guildies and just in zone in genral have been asking ourselves? will you go back to it because we love the city...

Now here are my suggestions for bringing people back to the city.

• Objectives

You could add so much for Objectives in here. Im taking a great example is planet side 2; every 2 hours on the screen it will alert all players that a event will start and there will be a big reward if your faction can complete it and here is what i purpose to you;

• Capture the flag

Yes you could damn well do Capture the flag in this city but i would call it capture the dedric relic or imperial relic in the Aboretum and Memorial district. Players would be told in X amount time a Mob will spawn with the objective and you the player must take this Objective (Like scroll got to do the animation to pick it up and not be able to sneak/cloak n all that) and take it back to your home base for the reward of X gold/Ap/stones OR even a faction wide buff. You will need to make it a good reward not some petty faction wide buff make your players feel rewarded and You would be forcing players to 1) find this mob in the district 2) then take the object to your home base and take the risk of going through horrors and spawning factions up top or go into the sewers for risk of being followed with swepers too.

• King of the hill

A must have you could make your factions go into the Districts and make them hold a flag for said amount of time and have them gain X amount tel var stones and AP. Players would be told on there screen in X location in X amount time you must hold this area for golry of your faction and great rewards. Thou that sounds like zerg would win right?! What if these flags was in the path of a Horror therefore you risk that thing giving it back to neutral ground because that hulking monster heals 10% for each player death. I would suggest the Nobles/Arena District. You make players flock to this place and makes them want to hold a ground with tanks and such and once they have been rewarded they risk chance with all those stones n must get home as soon as they can? how does that sound short n simple .

• War zone

What is war zone? EH games call it many things some even Team deathmatch. Ok so you have been told go to this district n slay as many dedra or players as you can for a great reward. Your faction would be forced to kill not only mobs but each other and make the horror give a huge amount of points in this location. You would bring all hell on this zone and Faction most points? will get rewards of stones/ap/gold.

• The Arena

Now this will be a great thing for devs to use... you have that arena. (Needs to still be fixed non of this you cant interact if in combat BS) Players would be told that in X amount time you must Fight in the arena and defeat all dedra and players within the arena . Have it so all players are silienced in the Arena once entering. Then once the dedra spawn the gate is locked and all factions must fight till there are no players or dedra in the area. The chest that spawns upon victory will have large reward but give a small amount AP/stones/gold for this as it would be shorter than others.

• Defeat Molag Bal in the center of the Sewers.

This would be intreseting making all your players be told molag bal must be stopped and then sending all your players to the center to clear the portals and then defeat molag bal and when molag bal is defeated make him drop A LARGE amount of Stones as it now puts all those players at risk of being in the middle of the sewers with all those stones.


Just like to Add when i say rewards i dont mean just appear on you; they could come in sacks or mail or a chest for those risk rounds.

• Loot/Rewards with Stones

There is alot of things in the sewers you can buy with stones from random boxes for costumes, sets, materials and so on. I would like to see more of this even with sets that cost AP outside the city could cost large amount stones within the city. such as ravager or random boxes from cyro (for morag tong n all that) it could be worth around X amount stones there is alot you can do.

You should also increase amount stones made from the daily quests as they are really pathetic in my opnion double or triple would be better than what they currently are.

Scamps these little bloody buggers are really rare yet drop pretty pathetic loot... my suggestion is have them have a chance to drop sets from the rewards of the worthy or even brand new sets or old sets you could update anything.

For now thats all i have i would love to add more but i dont wish to take the readers time of what i wish to see.
So devs ill leave it to you to reply and give me a answear and players leave what you would to see in the imperial in the comments who knows what dev will reply to you try keep it mature please and thank you for your time.

The biggest reasons why so many people abandoned IC:

So far there is so much risk with no reward in doing this compared to just sticking around in Wrothgar.
