Your Ideal Cyrodiil

TheBonesXXX · March 2017

Wanted to throw up a discussion about your ideal Cyrodiil. This is a no holds barred discussion, meaning if you don't feel like your game-style is included its fine.

1) Cyrodiil and Imp city given the One Tamriel treatment. I would love to see a factionless FFA Cyrodiil where keeps and towns are given more meaning and are guild controlled, it would provide a more open world feel to Cyrodiil instead of the transit system, I'm all for Zeni and Bethesda killing off all the leaders and letting Guild leaders rise through the ranks.

(I realize the complications with this, I also wouldn't mind the 5 guild system being scrapped for increased number size increased along with bank space)

2) More meaning given to some of the useless spawns in Cyrodiil, theres so much uselessness and things unused it makes zero sense.

(like that big ass Cathedral north of Bruma that its just useless, useless spawns all over the place after you complete the small quests in the game)

3) Cyrodiil being a zone like any other zone, the difference is you become flagged as soon as you enter it, if the keeps where harder to penetrate and take down I think it would give the game more meaning, a PvP flagged zone that you can travel to would be ideal. I never liked the campaign theme, I think its a waste of resources especially with battlegrounds coming out.

4) the integration of Imperial City into Cyrodiil and the removal of Molag Baal/Daedra, hes a turd and a punk - let us fight for the control of the White Gold Tower and the control of the land.

5) Make Kena and Warden have to relocate to some other obscure zone and retire those dungeons in favor of player vs player havoc.

(I realize people would be upset over this change and will likely quit, but I'm thinking of the people that would come back to Cyrodiil so.. toodles!)

6) Get rid of the damn slaughter fish and include swimming in Tamriel.

7) Make the game seamless as possible.

I think Cyrodiil and IC have great bones that can be built on, no need to overhaul their design. I love the campaign gameplay of Cyrodiil and I love the open small world feel of IC (I would however like to see a limit on IC group size, ie 4).

Battlegrounds will add another awesome PvP option, and they will likely continue to add game types such as FFA.

Eventually there will be something for everyone and plenty of variety in PvP types.

I tell DC troops what to do in zone. And they do it immediately. Ideal.

Your ideal Cyro is only missing the yogurt vendor at High Rock Gate.

Separate IC and Cyrodil populations. No lag and no battle spirit.

Separate RP population from regular population!

I have one idea.

Gives us a Cyrodiil Free For All campign...

No factions, no friends, no objectives,no siege, no groups, no ball groups(everything is owed by bandits)

Its every man, woman, and beast for themselves....folks want small man pvp, this is how you truly get it....you cna still do limited allainces, but you can't heal, buff, or rez anyone but yourself...your EOTS will kill your friend....

i think a FFA cyrodiil camping would be VERY interesting....i also think there would be a lot of folks that would play on it too.

Some keeps can also be owned by a different type of enemies. Lamias, dwemer machines, daedra, camps of dirty elves, etc. To really dived into the fact that there is no Central power in cyro at this time.

Then turn off all the doors so it's one massive frag fest

. Replace Haderus this this server type.

You can tell, Rinaldo had been watching a bit of The Walking Dead lately based on his comment lol.

For the most part, I think Cyrodiil is fine, but I would like to see:
1. NPCs at keeps reacting to siege - I think it's ridiculous that so long as I set up my trebuchets outside the walking path of the NPCs, they'll just continue their patrol around the keep, ignoring the rocks I'm throwing at the wall.

2. Random Daedra appearances in Cyrodiil. Why is it that aside from other players, riding around Cyrodiil is safer than anywhere else in Tamriel. If the map is completely controlled by one faction, and there are few players for other factions on, have daedra hordes show up at some random keep (maybe the ones that border Imperial City?) to make things interesting. If the keep gets flipped by them, set it to neutral status.

3. Improve rewards for players at end-game. I don't think there's anything in Cyrodiil or the Imperial City that I need. Any rewards I get, I just turn around and sell or trash (if they're a bad trait).

4. Fix the riding system so that the stamina and speed attributes increase the more you ride on your horse. You can still leave the training option in place, but it would be a nice bonus for all the time spent in horse simulator.

- a dedicated dev team comparable in size to those of major PVP games.
- abilities tailored for open world AvA gameplay.
- gameplay designed around the limitations of the server tech to defeat the crippling server lag of prime time.
- the resources necessary to implement the best cheat mitigation tools available and the CS staff and policies to keep the trash out of the game.

Stovahkiin · March 2017

Never gonna see big changes like this in Cyro. You think PvP in general is empty now sometimes? Just wait until battlegrounds is released, cyrodiil will be a damn ghost town; there won't be nearly enough demand for any more big changes to it.

MrBM · March 2017

Ideal PvP huh? WHAT IN THE HECK IS THAT!!!!!!!! lol

So yeah if people did not zerg all the time that would help. You do not need to have 50 plus people running together or in a group. a 12 man away from other 12 mans is big enough and that's pushing it. Put Radiant back like it was in 1.7, make Sorcs more like they were in 1.6 just not as strong as a shield and please take away the new annoying curse, Add other objectives in PvP or something on the dang map to do something else to make it less zergy(you can wish but still would be zergfest), Maybe make it to where if you are running a 13-24 man give or take a few and give them way less AP than they are getting now, IDK heck IT WILL ALWAYS BE ZERG ZERG ZERG ZERG no matter. lol it's all AIDs. maybe change the population caps to a smaller number and make people actually go to different campaigns???? Like there is literally two real ones on Xbox Haderus and Scourge but that are still uneven. AD zergs Scourge and DC zergs Haddy. The unbalance of people in campaigns is unreal. Be nice to have the campaign pop lock at the 2 bar point and have more than just 2 campaigns that are worth playing in.

Oh well maybe battlegrounds will be fun but they will find a way to mess that up too I'm sure!

mtwiggz · March 2017

Better performance, less latency issues.

Can deal with balance issues and getting zerged down just fine. It is annoying, but nothing is more annoying than the constant crashes, odd skill usage due to latency and stutter.

A Cyrodiil that will make me wanna log in and play, and not just stagnate.

Enslaved · March 2017

Ideal Cyrodiil?

No AD
No DC
Peace.

SneaK · March 2017

I'd love to see something done with IC, integrated into the overworld Cyro map. Basically, making it seamless to travel into the Imperial City. They could just fix the bridges.. Many more ideas with what they could actually do in the IC to make it more fun.

Also, it will never happen but I still want the usurper to be a thing.

My ideal cyrodiil is one that works

Gilvoth · March 2017

"remove alliances" to me = an ideal cryodiil.

only guilds and very strong pugs can hold castles.
[just being honest, that has been my belief and want since launch]

SneaK · March 2017

So this post got me thinking..

I'm picturing a Cyro with no alliances, just a free-for-all. Although, more complex than that. Let's say you can still get up to 24 man groups, where you cannot attack group members. Either way, it's your 24 man vs the world. The keeps could be capped by groups instead of alliances, say, you'd have to have at least 4 to claim a keep. There could be a ton of points on the map to capture and claim, and maybe you get group buffs for having higher numbers of claimed capture points. Capture points could range in size too, so a solo player could capture and try to hold a town, but you'd have to have a group to own a keep...

I honestly think this could be a lot of fun.

Knootewoot · March 2017

My Cyrodill has rivers of chocolate and sirup. Castles are white and pink, people ride ponies and unicorns and tree are made out of cotton candy.

Actually, as I imagined way before the game was released I had this in my mind

The game was not divided in zones but was one big open world. You could go anywhere.
Upon entering cyrodill the only entry points by road would be closed by a huge gates with watchtowers etc. Depending on which gate you entered, you fought for that alliance as you had to sign up for entering (you get a nice cloak with either a lion, dragon or bird).
If you did not enter by a gate, but by a forest trail or through mountains, you would be allianceless as you did not receive any cloak or sigil. And then you where a free for all guy. And then I fantasized about faction points, if you kill faction members of opposing fraction you would be KOS for that faction also in PvE etc. And if you had KOS for all 3 factions all you could do is fight in Cyrodill without a banner and a 4th faction (traitors) could be joined. But killing more EP ment you gained faction for DC and AD and then I dreamed about women in short skirts dancing around ...

But the game ended up quite different then I expected when I first heard about it. (still happy when I entered beta and enjoyed all about the game, but slightly disappointed how the game turned out to be)

Rickter · March 2017

how about instead of giving a campaign choice to players, they lower the population cap for the existing servers and force a queueing system.

basically, you queue up for pvp, and the system plops you in a server until that server is full.

so how do you play with friends of the guild? make it so you can queue up for the server that your party leader is in by right clicking their name or providing the option in the Alliance War window.

so how is emperor determined? well theyd have to rework the leaderboard system. Players could still set a "Home Campaign" but its in title only, their AP is saved to them specifically and will translate to the "Home Campaign" when the queue system puts them in a different server.

These are just suggestions with no insight into the backbone configurations needed to accomplish this - but i think taking the choice away from players will prevent things like emp flipping and grossly skewed population numbers.

of course the no cp people can Home on no cp and have a separate queue for that. Id also like to see them remove the "Guest Campaign" feature as this wouldnt really be needed at this point.

Make copies of these dungeons for pvp. Nice idea

themdogesbite · March 2017

No latency issues, no frame drops, no aoe caps, a changed version of dynamic ultimate regen to better suit the current state of the game.

Runschei · March 2017

If I understood your first idea right then I like it. Guilds managing their keeps and protecting them from attacks from other guilds sounds very fun, but the downsides doesn't sound very fun

t3hdubzy · March 2017

Im going to build a wall

Kas · March 2017

now i want to try a group vs group cyrodiil without factions and max group sizes of 8 or 12. Forget emp mechanics, taking adn defending keeps 8v8(v8 ...v8) it is
no idea if i'd like in the long term, but to try it out, sounds amazing
