Imperial City

Julianos · May 2016

ZOS please make the imperial city non combat zone a common ground for tree alliance members where they can interact with each other. IDC about sewers but imperial city one of my favorite place from the single player games thats not fair. Remove to deadras and other pile of craps and convert into beautiful city please.

I think I see your problem right there... This *isn't* one of the single-player games. Considering that the civil war and the battle for control of the Imperial City and the throne are at the heart of the PvP concept in ESO, I don't think it even makes sense to request such a change.

Why? Half the fun of IC is fighting in the city

Have you got anything to back up these claims that you have been PVPing longer than me?

Imperial City surface must be a combat zone, would be no fun, no one to kill, no monsters to kill no one would even go there lol

If its not my single player games why ZOS follows lore ? then lets bring lots of crap to the game that nothing to do with actual games. That is unacceptable. Imperial city is not a war zone its a diplomatic city and there is always an emperor on the throne so you cant fight in the street as you like there are order there are guards and soldiers. Please have some logic and play single player games before comment without a clue.

At least rearrange (or decrease the number of) the mobs so my puny casual self can wander solo in the city without being molested by hordes of Xivkyn. I might've read something about this being implemented in the next patch, not sure though.

"At the center of Cyrodiil, the three Alliances compete against daedric overlords and each other for control over the Imperial City and access to the White Gold Tower."

Not really diplomatic?

If you do not like playing MMORPGs stop whining and go play Skyrim if you love single-player so much.

I know there is no imperial city in skyrim I played all of the Elder Scrolls. What I'm saying is if you don't like Imperial City how it is now go play somewhere else, I can't even see how this suggestion would even be considered, like totally mess up the ONLY pvp DLC just because you PVE players havent had enough DLCs already.

Dude, take a chill pill. You're being obnoxious and rude for no reason.

Apart from that, your argument doesn't hold. Just because ESO follows Elder Scrolls lore, it doesn't mean every location has to be the same as in other games. In fact, ESO takes place 1000 years before Skyrim IIRC, so it's only natural that some things are different.

Imperial city IS a war zone in ESO. Get used to it.

Have you read the lore for this game?

The Imperial City is a focal point of Molag Bal's planemeld. There's a massive dark anchor over the White-Gold tower. Daedra freely roam the streets of the city. There's no emperor on the throne (there's Empress Regent Clivia Tharn who isn't feeling like herself lately . . .) and there's most certainly not a descendent of the bloodline on the throne, that keeps the Dragonfires lit and invaders from Oblivion at bay.

Meanwhile there's the 3 factions warring endlessly for control of the city and the Ruby Throne. It's a mess. No diplomacy. Just a half decimated city and fighting.

That's technical not true their is a Imperial City in the game and lore at the time you just can't visit it.Where do you think all the Imperials come from and get their orders.The Imperial City.

Ser Lobo · May 2016

Axorn, I apologize if this sounds dismissive or condenscending ... but it will be.

You obviously don't understand the game you are playing. Imagine if someone said 'lets take Skyrim off everyone's computers, force a patch, and *make* them play it as a pvp zone at all times.'

It wouldn't make any sense. That's not what Skyrim is. And your beliefs that Imperial City is a 'peaceful zone' are incorrect during this timeframe.

In fact, Cyrodiil and Imperial City, during this time, are almost completely destroyed. It's a warzone. Three kingdoms of man AND a daedric prince are battling day in and day out to have it as their own.

So while, to suit your personal wants and desires, making IC something similar to Oblivion (which happens centuries later) is possible, to everyone else who actually is invested in the lore of Elder Scrolls, it would be a major departure from the history Bethesda has made.

And lets not forget, *SPOILERS* Imperial City became a warzone at the end of Oblivion.

Imperials lives all across cyordiil not just the city. And there is always an emperor on the throne right now so that means city can be safe place for all people.

In the game right now their no Emperor. Have you played the main Story the former Emperor is currently a weak old man that's living in a cave.That's why their a three banner war their no Emperor so their trying to crown a new one.That's what all the fighting is for.Read the lore of the game and you will understand why what you want make no dam sense.

In Skyrim, there IS an imperial city (outside the game borders) and an emperor (who even comes to visit and whom you can assassinate in the Dark Brotherhood questline). The imperials in Skyrim aren't just expats, they're dispatched from Cyrodiil and are following the Emperor's orders.

As for emperors in ESO, there is most definitely not always an emperor on the throne. There are plenty of vacant periods, and any emperors that happen to be crowned belong to one of 3 warring factions, which leads to the other 2 factions dethroning them as quickly as they can. Clivia Tharn is not Empress, she is Empress Regent (i.e. she's ruling in the Emperor's stead, but has no legal claim to the title of Empress).

I dont remember well its been a loooong time but i remember i was fighthing againts molag bal in imperial city at the end of the story line with the help of the amulet i had defeated him thats all it was a small event. Before that imperial city was a peaceful place where all races can live together

I think you missed the background story. The Emperor is missing, and the regent is in the pocket of a necromancer. There is no order in the Imperial City in 2E 582. With no Emperor, the Alliances are all trying to place their own leader on the Ruby Throne, but the city itself, at the centre of the Planemeld, has already been captured by Molag Bal's forces because of the traitorous Legion Zero. It is most certainly a war zone.

i know, but before that it wasnt a war zone it was a common city for everyone but in ESO the story just skipped to the molag bal invasion we never had imperial city as a common ground and i think we should because its a very important element in the story of elder scrolls if people want pvp and defeat molag bal they can still do that in the sewers or zos can add another instance of invaded imperial city

Also im talking about the player emperors not the npcs emperors

Well, between the events of Oblivion and Skyrim, the 'Great War' happens, and eventually Imperial City is sacked by the Aldmeri Dominion. Imperial legions then strike back and retake the city, but much of it is destroyed in the process.

Then, during Skyrim, the emperor is actually outright assassinated (again, remember how Oblivion starts).

Putting this in perspecting, the time period we are in during Elder Scrolls Online is many centuries or more before Morrowind, and after the fall of the Emperor, many hundreds of people claimed the throne but were unable to hold it. This volitile time period is the basis for Elder Scrolls Online, and gives the reason for Cyrodiil (and Imperial City, which is largely occupied by Molag Bal's forces) being a PvP zone, because it accurately reflects the war going on between the three alliances and the daedra.

I beleive ESO would be better game with common imperial city for both trade and social.

I beleive ESO would be better game with common imperial city for both trade and social and immersion ofc.

Ser Lobo · May 2016

I believe ESO would be better if they made the Imperial City the home of different instanced battlegrounds, independent of all campaigns.

20v20v20 and 12v12v12 matches, 12-15 minute timers, can queue to join friends if someone else leaves a match or a match will fill the spot. Three flag respawn control and objective holding, 'teleport in' mechanic for safe spawning (mage warded area where they will teleport you somewhere on the outskirts of the field, near a teammate, or on a flag), maybe an odd 'retrieve the relic' or 'kill the boss' mission giving you bonus points. Independent leader boards from Cyrodiil, awards Tel Var stones at the end of each round as well as Alliance Points (in much smaller numbers than in Cyrodiil proper).

Rerelease IC as part of the main game (giving the DLC to everyone, essentially), and provide a 2500 crown bonus to those early adopters. Allow players to access and queue from anywhere in the game.
