I'm all in favour of ZOS fixing the PvP issues and adding more PvP content in PvP areas, but not PvPers exaggerating their numbers and importance.
I didnt claim anything as fact. And yet you ask me to back up a general statement to ensure it is a fact.
The game advertised Cyrodiil for large scale PVP and siege warfare. It wasnt built on arenas or dueling or battlegrounds. There wasnt much clamoring for these features when the game was releasing as well. People were happy to pursue the large scale PVP war that was shown in the cinematic videos. That is where the opinion comes from. There is more evidence to support this than there is against it.
So what numbers did I exaggerate? I dont even think youre talking about the same thing I am. I am talking about Cyrodiil vs battlegrounds.... you know, the topic of the thread? If you are talking about PVE vs PVP content, that is much more broad and not what my post had anything to do with. If youd like to take the counter position that players with an interest in PVP bought ESO for battlegrounds content go ahead - please provide evidence or simply argument to the point. If youre talking about PVE content, youve read things out of context.

Yea - I wrote a post about battlegrounds being announced and itd be a nice feature but I think most people would prefer to have a functional Cyrodiil as that is what most players (doing pvp) bought the game for (not for battlegrounds). Its a nice feature, but Cyro should be fixed.
With that said, I dont think Cyro will be fixed, and as a result I think arenas/battlegrounds are pretty poor future plans. They might as well stick with just making PVE content honestly - because there is little hope on making a happy success for players going to arena/battlegrounds. Balancing isnt done well so it will result in more problems. If they were willing to put more resources at it, itd be another story, but they are not.

With the addition of arenas to cyrodiil, it will give more incentive for ZOS to balance classes and attempt to fix the performance in cyrodiil becuase it might start making them money
where as right now there is no money being made, as you know, so they probably just dont care enough to fix it.
have some faith man stop bein so depressing

They'll bundle it in with some DLC that they rush out, and it will be riddled with bugs and exploits. That's just par for the course of how they release content. Release it, and sort out the bugs later when you have time between getting the next DLC ready for that deadline.

No one is exaggerating anything. The majority of people that came into this game in the beginning signed up for large scale pvp. Zos's entire marketing campaign substantiates it. Zos hired Blur to make 3 shorts whose story line revolves around three factions fighting for control of cyrodil. That is roughly more than a 100 million dollars on a marketing campaign that revolves
around pvp(Blur's price would be 25-30 million for each short). I've yet to see such marketing aimed towards any of the pve aspects of this game. Also by no means have I exaggerated the price tag. I've been working on game cinematics and commercials for 15 years, I'm well aware of the costs of such a campaign.
Arenas and Battlegrounds would bring life back into the PVP community. And I know you PVE players don't care about us but we would like some content too. (Waiting for someone to say ughhh you got imperial city) LMFAO XD
I have played a mmo with arenas and battlegrounds and it was very competitive. For the people that don't care about arenas or battlegrounds fine. You don't have to compete in them, but it would bring more people back to the game and add another endgame activity.

its actually the same copout route SWTOR picked, they couldn´t fix openworld pvp because of the used engine and thus created battlegrounds too...
Considering that was their MAIN selling point for pvp, and that is why MOST people bought the game. Yeah, I would say that is correct.

They created arenas, not battlegrounds, battlegrounds were in there from the start. They abandoned BGs completely and focused soley on arenas after a point, which just murdered pvp all together. Went from hundreds and thousands playing to less than a few dozen REALLY quick.
