Small-Scale PvP confirmed!

wharf · December 2015

@ZOS_BrianWheeler Thank you for listening to the PvP Community! These changes are going to take this game to the next level in my opinion. Small scale pvp is going to bring back so many players too.

I don't really care as long as there are no NPCs, Walls, Doors, or other road blocks between players. I want it to be focused on players killing each other.

well, I would be even for two kinds of arena setting:
- without walls, trees, stairs etc
- with them

every option that would be included into that would make some part of the players happy

I don't understand why people think arenas will kill Cyro. Its just more options and more options means more marketability. You can't sale lag and zergs ball pvp. Ball Group PVP might be fun to play but just looks confusing and shows exploitation of the games lack of collision. It doesn't showcase the combat system, unique classes, weapons, etc. You can't place a cam in cyro and stream it ... but with Arenas ...

That doesn't mean people who arena will not Cyro. Less might but with out the option they're eventually going to move on from ESO and the game will lose their support. Also Arenas will bring people to the game and those people might Cyro. It will all work it self out.

Yes it will show the imbalance in Classes, which will be undeniable and documented and hopefully ZOS steps up to the plate and takes care of those issues so that they can better sell their product.

I'd rather them roll arenas out in stages. I don't care if there are leader boards or if they're are polished. I simply want even numbers, no npc, no sieges and no objectives ... I don't even care if there is AP awarded. That all can be added later.

I get that they want to put out a pretty and well functioning BG/Arena experience though and that quality needs to be priority. I just think they're over a year late getting started on this and want to see an alternative NOW. 8 plus months is a long way away.

exactly!!

and even for the devs, arenas would be a great tool for the devs to check the statistics and use them for balancind skills and classess.

oh and 00:03:32 in the video there are even new images from Murkmire I think!!

And btw. Is it confirmed already, if Murkmire would be paid DLC or free new content like Craglorn? I am asking, as I heard that Murkmire should be adventurer zone, similar like Craglorn (but better I hope

)

I can already picture the nerf threads we will get once they implement dueling and battlegrounds. The day PvP will be balanced around 1v1.

whiners just keep whining you know

learn-to-play guys, learn how to play and enjoy the game

If they balance Templars for 1v1 without nerfing their current support abilities, they will be so OP.

I'm more excited about BwB (+ one Vet campaign) becoming non CP

Oh, and Forward Camps! Definitively excited to see Forward Camps again

You do realize that there won't be vet campaigns anymore though at some point right?

Basically it will be

Level 1-50
Champion ranks will replace vr ranks, so eventually there will just be.

Sub 50 campaign
Champion campaign.

There physically cant be a no cp vet campaign as there won't be veteran ranks at all.

Are you trolling?

Templars are screwed over big time atm.

All but a couple of our skills are completely and utterly broken.

A templar won't ever be able to kill a sorc as jabs/sweeps does essentially 0 damage to shields due to being bugged.

Sure we can heal, but so can stam builds now days, extremely effectively, not to mention my heals don't do crap when I'm perma stunned by nb's spamming ambush.

Which is why I said "if they balance" that means they fix your Templar broken skills. I am not trolling and I am not saying that Templars are in a good place. They are really good in a group. Templars can keep a group up through a lot of burst damage, the can rez super fast especially if they wear Kagrenacs. Taking a small group down with a couple of Templars in support is a pain.

My Idea would be a HUGE Gladiator type arena set up by the Imperials for teams of 12 or 24 to battle it out!

It has been stated as in the works, both ARENAS AND DUELING! Rejoice, PvP community and share your thoughts! Here are mine:

PvP Arena Instances: Make 4. 1 is 1v1, another 2v2, then another 3v3, and the 4th 1 4v4. This allows people equal opportunity small-scale PvP and doesn't bother the other Arenas.

Dueling: Please change how you plan to not allow duels in Cities. Make it so that if 2 players engage in a duel in a City and a Guard comes along they will both get a bounty and the Guard will attempt to accost them. Since 1 Guard can only accost 1 player it can be made so when 2 players dueling are busted a second guard appears out of nowhere with the original to help accost the other player.

Screw this, so i can get officialy murked in 1v1 as a magicka templar?

No no.It means that there will be more arenas for PvP,and challenges for PvPers to send us.I doubt that we will be forced to do the challenge.We'll probably get to decline,as we can in WoW.Or just go at it with someone else!
This makes so much sense.I have hoped that PvPers could get the ability to challenge others to a duel!

I'm cool with this, more options are always good, but I'm just hoping the calls for nerfs and balancing based around this game mode aren't going around a week in, if they are I hope they don't listen.

I want Small Scale PvP or Battlegrounds

simply because there is no World PvP and Cyrodiil gets boring after 2 years...

No mention of it in 'The Year Ahead' and @NoETA.

Yeah this is going to take way to long to come out the fact that the thieves guild and dark Brotherhood weren't the first two dlcs literally bewilder me.
