ZOS you need to give us a new PVP map

moonio · February 2017

Don't get me wrong I love the current Cyrodiil, I love the landscapes, the architecture, the quests, the people, the Blue map etc etc but PVPers need something new.

What we need is a new campaign which is in fact a new map, and in order to keep things consistent and avoid lore breaking hissy fits the new map should include an element of time travel.. in that way it could contain completely different features.

I know you make less money from PVPers than PVEers but there is a solution to this, where there is a will, there is a way, as they say.

You are already charging many crowns for new motifs, so in order to pay for the new map it should require the need to buy/craft/steal (or purchase with crowns) new weapons armour, even mounts.. this is why the time travel element is essential.
Basically your current gear cannot be used within the new time zone, it will not be as effective, so you will need to get new gear, subscribers will be given a first tier of new gear for free etc etc

I hope you consider this and show some love for PVP, you could even put the new map on a different server which could solve some of the performance issues..

All the best..

You mean, like Dust 2?

Instead of a whole new map, adding something like "scenarios".

Hear me out :
There is a quest in stonefalls where you have to defend davon's watch against a covenant siege.

Zenimax could create a battleground where two teams face off, one defeding the city, te other team attacking it. The attacking team would have to capture a few objectives much like in a game of rush in battlefield, until they reach the final objective and win. The defenders would have to protect the objectives until a certain timer is reached.

Lorewise, it would fit without any time travel, just use currently existing quests in the game where you fight off the dominion/covenant/pact.

What is the point of this thread when they announced that battlegrounds will be coming on June 6th?

Or they could give us reasons to fight in all the rarely contested parts of Cyrodiil that you've likely never been to. It's a huge map with a ton of diversity and potential, even today.

Mostly because I want to look at some different architecture :P ZOS does architecture very well and they need to continue on in that tradition.
Do you remember the first time you saw a keep? A scroll temple? The gates of the Imperial City? I bet it gave you goose bumps.. it did for me..
I want to experience that again..

They could make a morrowind campaign map

Cyrodiil is fine, it just needs additional incentives to go to the more out of the way places.

I always thought using some of the empty areas of Cyrodiil to create battle field challenges that contributed to the campaign score would be a perfect blend of open world and battle field concepts . These players would not be a detriment to the campaign and would be contributing to the campaign on a smaller scale . Just hear me out . A que inside of Cyrodiil to match even side groups in a death match with no rezzing or flags to fight for either a faction buff and score bonus or just a bonus with specialized AP currency for new gear . Winning that territory war would benefit your faction in some way , definetly with added faction score . There could be several of these around the map to complete each hour reducing zergs and increasing competive play .

Just mill it around in your head . This would be apart of the base game in Cyrodiil with no paywall to rejuvenate the war .

Cyrodiil was amazing before it became heavily organized and Zerg centric. I will never forget coming across the landscape to see the enemy AD on the horizon. There is no way ZOS will ever be able to reproduce that same feeling.

Before people understood mechanics, it was just a giant free for all. I was so amazed at how well the game ran back then. That was mostly to do with the lack of understanding said mechanics and skills not being unlocked yet.

I wouldn't worry about the money aspect any longer for Zeni- They can now afford to hire at least one coder to fix the bugs here in Cyro.

Im still happy with cyrodil and imperial city. A new map could be fun and ther is a million ways you could dice it, but the easier way to reinvigorate the fun would be to change the dynamic of what we have today using rewards, AP earnings, imperial city, and quests/objectives.

A new map would be cool but I think the risk vs reward is better suited using existing systems instead of building a new one. You also have to consider the lore, the distribution of population, internal resources, and any futute projects they already have downstream.

@Soul_Demon that lawsuit involved zenimax media, the parent company for ZOS. There's no guarantee that ZOS sees any of that money.

I would find it hard to believe, whatever the company structure, that $500,000,000 didn't somehow allow ZOS to come up with enough cash to hire a coder who actually graduated from school with a degree and some semblance of competence in the field to fix the bugs and latency problems. I would also find it hard to believe that they would not be able to finally upgrade the servers to something that runs and be able to have more than two or three choices available to players.

We will get new maps. Battlegrounds instanced PvP features maps and game types. Almost like an fps game.

It would be cool, but I don't think we'll get an updated Cyrodiil with different keep design or something like that.

You could be right, money has a way of making it into pockets and dimming the ability to see further than the next two weeks for media companies.

But, we have even more pressing issues if ZOS doesn't step up. Bottom line is with exploiting and bugs prevalent and the ever present 'boosting' going on with leaderboards in Cyro- If ZOS fails to take action now the upcoming releases don't stand a chance. I assume the players who do this regularly will immediately set their sights on the leaderboards of the battlegrounds as they have been so successful in Cyro thus far without ZOS doing anything. Bugs and latency basically removes any competitive nature we could have gained along with the exploiters finding a way of controlling that score as well. How bout a four man team who 'feeds' the other 4 man? Multi faction boosting on battleground leaderboards here they come.

pvp in the open fields around red mountain known as the Grazelands on the morrowind map.

the Grazelands around red mountain are purely ashlanders and wild hunt ashlands.
i know there is allready going to be 4v4v4 arena, im not talking about that, im talking about pvp in the open fields around red mountain known as the Grazelands on the morrowind map.
please make the ashlands of morrowind open PvP zone.

Just the Grazeland area, not the entire Morrowind Zone.
