Should PVP Be Removed From ESO?

    So should we remove pve entirely? Only seems fair if op thinks pvp should be removed

    Yes. I'd happily support them getting rid of PvE and making some other PvE-based game and instead concentrate on getting the game back to the large-scale PvP awesomeness that it was advertised as originally.

    Make no mistake, PvE doesn't belong here.

    I voted yes, because it would do away with a lot of things I feel are plaguing this game. I also feel that it would ease a lot of strain on the servers, and make the game perform a lot more smoother. Plus, devs wouldn't have to make 'balance' changes with how certain skills and what not would effect players. They can build around how things effect the content at hand, and not have to gimp players who want nothing to do with PvP.

    the pvp type folks need also excuse to be doing ego stroking. cant just leave it to the glorious elite pve:rs.

    and its quite boring to watch 1-12 ppl kill non player controlled monsters over and over and over again. no change of tactics or any interesting failures.

    and some folks seem to have forgotten. this game was main'ed as an pvp game. not pve game. it just happens to please lots of pve folks as this game features broken stuff like an animation cancelling to allow yourself to have advantage over someone who cant perform animation cancelling or just is shite at it.

    lmao not a chance should it be removed..

    op i just read your comment of why you think it should be removed, so going on that maybe we should just remove pve, that way we can get full focus on making it better, not having to adjust the game so that you guys/gals in the dungeons dont whine...

    or maybe the game should stop entirely and we get fallout online.

    but on a serious note, stop asking selfish polls, the game is for both pvp and pve alike, get over it, dont waste your time with silly questions, instead maybe you could spend your time coming up with something constructive to make the game better for both parts.

    It was one of the most important and anticipated aspects of the game when it was released.

    It's probably the only nonlinear and continuous endgame we have, so no.

    And it's been continually a drain on balance, alot of people are not satisfied with it at present, and so on and so fourth.

    Really, what are you geting here over any other MMO? Truely tell me what your geting over any other MMO with the same PVP structure.

    Are you joking? Please then, tell me one other mmo that has open world PvP of this size, has good and proper siege warfare, destructible and repairable keeps/castles, etc etc?

    And also, if we're gonna play like this, why don't we just get rid of PVE? I mean, it obviously kills balance in pvp, let's just get rid of it, right?

    ZOS can do whatever they want. If PVP goes then I have no reason to play this game, so I probably won't. While dungeons and trials are entertaining, everything I do in this game (except housing) is to improve my character for PVP.

    Just because some people don't like pvp and don't agree with som changes doesn't mean it should go.

    What type of question is it? A question that seeks an answer of opinion from others. That's what type of question it is. If you don't like the question, then don't respond. If you like the question, but don't feel it should be removed? Explain why. Same with if you do feel that it should be removed.

    OP, if you didn't want any "drama or indecency" in you're thread, then maybe you shouldn't have asked a question like this. You have now summoned the wrath of the entire PvP crowd.

    Getting rid of PvP would be, you guessed it, idiotic. If you think people are upset about the recent natch potes, you have no idea how much raging, and players leaving the game, there would be if PvP was removed.

    PvP wouldn't ever be removed like this though of course because even Zeni doesn't make mistakes that large.

    Either this is a troll poll or OP tried PvP once, got beaten by other people, and then never went back in.

    @Stovahkiin Hm? Troll poll, or tried PvP once and got beaten? Never went back in? Lol. Bruh, I used to be a hardcore PvP'er. In fact, I used to love PvP so much that I completely cut myself off from PvE entirely for months. Yeah. I was that much of a fan of it. Mind you, this was way back when there were HUGE waves of people constantly going at it. The zergs you know of nowadays? Hardly a zerg compared to back in the good ole' days.

    And here's the kicker... There was little to no lag, and or performance issues at all at hand during these massive conflicts. There was also a hell of a lot more balance, than there is now. Even with stamina regenerating while blocking, dynamic ultimate, meteors being able to be reflected, Sorcerers being able to Bolt Escape way more, and shield durations being much longer.

    Lol. You need to your homework, comrade. PvP is a joke nowadays. What do you know about seeing maybe 80 versus 80 popping off at any given time at multiple keeps? Not even during prime time? Hm? There's videos of these days on YT. See it for yourself.

    If this was your idea of constructive criticism toward the pop community, I say dear boy. You have brought a hell on your enjoy your but being ravaged by the pvp community, pve is not my style, I love the freedom this game offers pvp wise. I am not restricted to anything and if I am better than a group of 5 or 6 people I can kill them. No other mmo provides that so you'd lose 80% of the population so you can kill monsters and have fun? What is the end game?

    and as a PVE player, if im asked to choose between PVE and PVP ill choose PVE tenfold times.

    As a PVE player i see PVP only as a source of salt, conflicts, blanket nerfs that hurt PVE players and generally as place that wastes developers time.

    Why are nerfs for PVE bad? Its mind numbingly boring. Lol

    I voted no since PvP is pretty much the only thing I do on ESO. I think PvE can be enjoyable, but once you know the mechanics to a boss or trial, it's pretty much rinse and repeat and I honestly think that is incredibly boring. If there wasn't PvP in this game, I don't think I'd be playing this game after 4 months or so since I would've beaten all the content by then.

    With PvP, there's always the element of surprise, and there's no mechanic to master when fighting another good player. That keeps things fresh, and got me to come back after taking a 2 week break from this game.

    No, because it should instead be separate from PVE in the sense that some skills from each class need to be adjusted specifically for PVP where anything can cause a high impact imbalance.

    There is no good argument against that because the devs need to test the game in both pve and pvp anyway and it would actually simplify their work.

    Instead of trying in vain to balance those skills in both pvp and pve, they would better make them work somewhat differently
    and the only common thing should be the skill name which would fit both versions with some imagination.

    PVP wasn't profitable. Not at the subscription model they were using, anyway. Wonder what that says.

    Even if most players would give money for stuff they use in PVE content, they would at some point want some PVPing
    and it helps the game if those players remain in ESO for that.
    Otherwise, when they would have made the decision to come back to PVE, the game might or might not have been ESO.

    Yes. PVP ruins the PVE experience and especially the solo experience. That said it is possible to create completely different rules and balancing for the PVP aspect of the game. This would be easier to implement as ESO already has a completely separate PVP area that cannot simply be wandered into.

    PVP doesn't have to be removed from the game, merely split completely from PVE. That's all. Then both modes can be developed properly, something that is impossible now. Stage One requires a built-in dressing room function so that players can switch between completely different builds with a single click and for no cost.
