Do we still borders stopping you from going from one province to another?

Davor · October 2016

Now that we have One Tamriel now, can we walk from one province to another another province or they can only be accessed through boats/carriages/wayshirnes only?

I thought it would be great to walk now as if it were Daggerfall. Just walk if you so like. Walk from Sumerset Isles all the way to Morrowind or any other place to any other place. That would be great to do. Thing is, can we do it or still have the invisible walls or obstacles from stopping you from doing so like Slaughter fish if you swim too where you shouldn't be.

The biggest issue is the world is not fully stitched together (as in, the map is not one full map). It's slice up into zones, and since it's not a seamless world, there's no way to really do that right now.

Davor · October 2016

So it's not really One Tamriel then is it?

I thought we got everything now. Guess I was wrong.

Thank you very much for you comment. I really hope we do have this option one day. This is why I got back on the PC and got a subscription. I guess the name One Tamriel is a bit misleading. Oh well, still have a blast playing now. So can't really complain.

That and zones from one faction don't connect with another at the moment.

The only way to travel on foot would be to go through the opposing factions home bases in Cyrodiil (which obviously is impossible)
That's why we need to use boats and wayshrines.
There is sense and a story behind this design if you think about it.
Walls were built to contain the war and therefore have blocked all other travel routes (on land)

You know, the borders between provinces in the game, much like many borders in the real world, relate to actual boundaries that can be hard to cross

It is One Tamriel, not Seamless Tamriel

You can go anywhere. There may be loading screens as you pass between zones.

But not Elsweyr. Not... not Elsweyr.

Khajiit wants to return to the warm sands of his homeland.

Or when five-claws @ZOS_RichLambert gives Jone and Jode an ofering of NyQuil for the flu, and officially acknowledges @SantieClaws as the Queen-Mane of the Khajiit along with the promise of warm return to hearth and homeland.

I would gladly serve under Mane Santie. She seems like a kind and benevolent ruler who would be fair to all Khajiit and would hold dances in the Rosy Lion.

Heh if it was borderless maps, the lag would be unreal.

CapnPhoton · October 2016

I only played one MMO that had a seamless world when traveling on foot. The only exception was with going to another continent and fast travel across the map required loading. It was well implemented and 'zoning' was not even noticeable. You could even see creatures in the distance in the next zone. However, the game was very lean compared to this one. I don't think with ESO being so robust, it would be an easy task.

Santie has never considered a career in benevolent dictatorship but this one supposes there are advantages yes. The big house and endless booze perhaps.

Although this one she thinks it might be awkward when Emeric he pops round for dinner and finds all his missing things ...

It would be cool if in Cyrodiil factions could push into enemy factions PVE through there.

For example, in PVP: EP takes all of AD's keeps and pushes AD to their gates. The gates become siege-able, and EP zergs can enter their PVE zones from there. Then the EP players would continue their genocidal conquest, killing innocent NPCs, towns (if guards have their invincibility removed), and players in the PVE areas until there is nothing left...

and vice versa for AD and DC factions to do the same. I was just using EP as an example.

Obviously this could never happen for obvious reasons, but PVE players having to band together to defend their zones would be fun, fighting in towns alongside guards against enemy player zergs.

This one is sure that Mane Santie would have enough sets that Emeric would either not notice or think that you making him feel at home. Also with so many Khajiit and friends visiting am sure there will be a high turn over of material :> This one definitely looks forward to mass parties in a Khajiit controlled castle :>

I use to play a game with a similar system. There were only 2 sides to the war though. There were 2 or 3 wars a week and the winning side was able to invade the losing nation. It was a ton of fun. Each town had monument that when taken would give points the longer it was held. The best pvp in any mmo I have played yet. Sadly it is over run with bots/hacks and went p2w big time. Not sure if anyone has played knight online.

I'm sure he won't miss them at all. He seems to be the type of king that is a bit absent of the mind at times.
