Server Idea. Cyrodiil Maps instanced like One Tamriel Overland Zones

Alucu · October 2017

Hi there, as some of you may know, before One Tamriel any overland zone had 3 different versions of the same map, one for each alliance. After One Tamriel came out however, it seems that there's still different versions of the same map. Although the criteria that determines in which version you are eludes me. Perhaps is rng?

Thing is, maybe instead of servers (Empty 7 days and Crowded 30 days) we could have the same for Cyrodiil, instanced versions of the map where you never know who are you going to fight and when. Although group play would have to be worked on in order to allow friends and guildies to play together in the same version of the map. (Of course CP and NO CP separated versions)

Any constructive criticism or problems that may have escaped me?

Thanks in advance

I think this would lead to a lot of confusion when life bars started floating around but you couldn't see the player avatars. Instances were pretty frustrating to deal with in the overland map and I can't see Zos putting that in Cyrodiil.

Different campaigns already serve as intances

tho i see where you are going with this, but having it randomized would mean that somone putting effort into capturing a keep, then going on a break, could relog back to a different instance in which map is full yello

They should also probably come up with a system that would encurage ppl to play on campaigns where thier own faction is at low/medium population (Not lower then other 2 factions, just plain low on its own). NOT OVERALL SCORING system thats already at place, but some AP rewards bonus and such for individuals that decide to stay/play there. Those will be guys that start to bring life to a campaign.
That would help encurage ppl that are stuck in 60man queues for the only 2 populated camapaigns, to instead choose to play on a different one, and find thier home there.
Campaign switching should also be free of charge, when switching to a lower populated campaign, where trying to home a more populated one, could cost more

They should also lower the numbers allowed to play on individual campaigns and delete all that are currently empty campaigns: leave 2 non-cp, 2 cp and a non-vet version only.
My take on campaign changes id like to see somewhere in the future
