Ic incentives please

Tyrannic · December 2016

Please Zos give us a reason to go to IC. Since agility isnt worth anything anymore could you guys add a merchant who sells stuff for key fragments? Maybe put gold upgrade materials in there and maybe some cosmetic stuff? Not 100% sure what the shop would look like but im sure it could be done in a way that would bring people back to IC to farm which would then bring in people to pvp. Thoughts?

maybe some cool titles and dyes?

IC already has amazing incentives:

Selling Hakejos is one of the best ways to make gold atm.
Apothecary Bags give insane amounts of alchemy mats for the time/effort required to get them.
Killing proctatos, taking their stones and getting juicy juicy rage tells!

The reason so few people go to IC is because it's gated behind DLC and has zero impact on the actual campaign.

Well its clearly not enough considering how empty it is now. It was pretty bad when i quit in DB but now that agility is worthless its absolutely empty. It doesnt need to be part of the Campaign leaderboards to draw people in. Ive never head anyone say "God i hate pvp but i need to get on the leaderboards so i guess ill go to cyrodiil.".

Also hakejos and herbs dont really cut it as the only reasons to go to an entire dlc.

Farm key fragments to sell to people trying to complete their spell power cure set (or other WGT or ICP set)

I'm not really interested in doing PvP until they balance procced sets. Who want to be fighting a boss and then get 1-shotted from behind by a broken proc set build and give that person half your Telvar? Before 1T I just saw it as a kind of "tax" that I paid. Even ganking required some degree of skill before, but not now.

I wish I could still get the third one, it seems no one is ever in IC when I go there for some solo play, and if they are they're in an oversized group.

Yeah, I've taken out groups of 6 or 7 by myself, but they're usually such bad players that it makes me kind of feel bad.

They need to make IC a free DLC to open up its population. Also, they could tie it into the Alliance War of that were the case, where they can't currently because all players don't have access. Either do that or make IC its own instance to increase the population.

Put gold tempers, rosins and wax in the tel var vendors. People would be in there all day.

As much as I would love that, they won't do that for the same reason they won't connect Cyrodiil to IC. It's a DLC game and they're not going to make their economy for gold mats based on DLC farming. Sucks, but it is what it is.

Now, if they make IC free, like I said above, then they might do that, but I doubt it.

What return do you get on them on though? I went in there a few days back and got ~60 p/h from farming zombies in the sewers. On my server that's worth (excl. the 5k Tel Var) 18k gold.

Beardimus · December 2016

It's crazy that they hand out Willpower, agility and endurance gear to everyone now with random dungeons. Madness, it was one decent recent to go there.

IC event was an epic buzz so I concur with you

If you need XP the dailies' are good, 30-35mins for 600kXP

Yeah, they wouldn't do anything like that to sell more DLC. . . what planet are you from. Have you seen the alchemy mats in there yet? The path to other materials has been paved and is popular.

1) It's hard to get to IC. We need a direct port to the city.
2) Intoduce new daily quests for district bosses and some daily quests for sewers.
3) Probably make the whole city as another Cyrodiil - separate queue, separate score, separete rewards.

Astanphaeus · December 2016

The only reason IC isn't emptier is because it already has some of the best things in the game at the TV trader with stupidly cheap Alchmy Sacks, Hakeijos, and it even has cosmetic polymorphs already. You also still get Black Rose there which is a popular set. And even with all these things, yes, it is still as empty as Sarah Palin's head. But that's because it is designed terribly.

PvEers don't want to be to go to IC because the quest line is bland and short. Farmers don't want to go there because farming is an activity that is attractive because it is something you can do while not really paying attention and can relax, which the presence of proctatoe gankers completely contradicts.

Large Scale PvPers already have Cyrodiil which is easier to access and ZOS screwed up horribly by not making IC part of the campaign with access from the bridges. And many of the large scale PvPers do still care about the campaign score and having something to work to.

The only groups left are the small scale PvPers and Gankers who despite being boisterous on the forums make up only a tiny fraction of the PvP base. And Gankers can't be attracted unless the have someone to gank. And as much as small scale PvPers complain about big groups, it has always seemed more to me that they really want them around so that they can blame their losses on those large groups so as not to have their fragile egos hurt.

What you are suggesting won't help IC so much. IC needs to be completely reworked as part of the larger Cyrodiil campaign and not locked behind a DLC if it is ever going to be something.

I agree with 1-4, and disagree very strongly with 6.
