This is the design for Imperial City and its Sewers. I don't see the point in having a second Cyrodiil in Cyrodiil. IC is unique because of the risk that follows.

I think I hybrid of how it used to be with how it is now.

Specifically:

50% when death to mob
80% when death to player

BUT

Increase telvar drop amounts across the board.

It's already been changed, used to be that when killed by another player you would lose something like 90% - we have it easy now, stop fussing about it.

Go in with 0 Tel Var, come out with 500, that is a net gain, regardless of whether you gained 20500 amd lost 20000 in there.

Just learn to not count chickens before they are hatched (or in this case, not to count Tel Var until they are in the bank). It's part of the excitement of IC imo.

Love it the way it is

I would like to see ZOS revert to how it used to be:
10% loss on death to mobs and 50% loss on death to another player. Being able to "deny" yourself to a mob is a nice "feature".

It was a horrible "feature" and glad they got ride of it.

You definitely used to lose more when killed, so it has already been nerfed - leave it like it is.

I didn't have that dlc when the loss was 90% to players and I do not regret not having it then 50% is still quite bad I would either remove the loss of tel var completely, or make it so you lose only 10% no matter if you died from NPC or player.

I'm in favor of nerfing loss to NPCs back to where it used to be. The grind is tedious and losing half to one slip-up is a pain.

Losing Tel-var stones is really the only thing in the game that has any consequence at all if you die. I suppose dying in Cyradiil and having to travel a long way to get back to the fight can be considered a consequence but not quite like losing a pocket full of stones is.

I like the way it is now. On nights when there isn't any group or guild activity happening I like to take 1000 stones and go up into the city then drop back into the sewers as far away from my home gate as I can. Then I try to make it home with all my stones. I try to hide from the banner bosses and from groups of enemy players but I fight everything else including the other bosses in the sewers. It is rare I make it all the way without dying but I usually end up with more than the 1000 stones I started with.

Wouldn't be as fun if there wasn't the threat of losing stones. Gets really fun when you have more than 10K in your pockets and still have half a circle to get around before your safe.

Hate losing my stones

the system seems to be designed around the loss...?

Risk vs Reward. It creates tension and makes things more exciting. The system is fine as is, it was a good chance when they made it like this, you can't cheat your way out of loosing Tel-var stones anymore. Monster or Player, you lose half your stones.

I had forgot about players running to be killed my a monster when attacked by a player so they could save some stones.

hahahahahaha

I remember sneaking off to the arbortoreum all the time to try to aggro npcs and die as quickly as possible...or, down in those "pits" with the guards and prisoners in the arena district itself...

trying to stay crouched while getting beat on...i remember for some of my characters in heavy it would seem like it would take forever to die...

I like the risk/reward idea but zos kinda forget the reward part

I don't say this very often, but it's fine the way it is.

Of course you hate losing your stones, everyone does. And we all like gaining stones from killing others. If you want to die without consequences, the entire rest of the game awaits you. IC is the only zone with a risk/reward factor. Leave it alone.

Well put
