So what's the big PvP announcement?

KRBMMO · October 2017

I read somewhere that there was going to be a big PvP announcement that i inferred would make some PvP players happy. Like some fixes or something.

Did I just read what I wanted to hear in that post or did I miss the big announcement?

We'll be making campaign adjustments when Update 16 goes live, and will post more information about it in the next few days.

I guess in a way closing campaigns might be good for PvP ... but I expected something a bit different. Is that what Gina was talking about, lol? Technically it wasn't really announced, either - just woke up one day and the campaigns are gone ...

The was no announcement which is an announcement that they have abandoned pvp. Go buy some costumes instead.

They dont care about PvP, just look at the patch notes, a few lines and it was for BGs

ZOS has posted on the various threads about the campaigns that they didn't post beforehand to prevent players from switching campaigns in order to gain end of campaign rewards and transmutation crystals. As far as I know, they reset all the campaigns, removed Almalexia, Kastav and Xarxes, and didn't tell anyone beforehand.

If you want to see the actual announcements (about why they didn't acutally announce anything): https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/4587910#Comment_4587910

Edit: some of the campaign leaderboards were reset but not closed, accidentally, https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/4589410#Comment_4589410

That's it, as far as I know. I'm happy with it and figured it was coming. Empty or non-competitive servers aren't good for the PVP community. Kastav and Xarxes served their purpose admirably during the Midyear Mayhem event, but they haven't had a sustainable, competitive population for a long time.

Only said by those that haven't a clue who actually played there and just parrot what others say.
They weren't clogged, but they were not empty either.

Rohamad_Ali · October 2017

The big announcement was they wiped Vivec's leader board .

Malic · October 2017

They are putting the doors back on the resource towers to amp up the challenge.

JoffyToffy69 · October 2017

High pop pvp has disadvantages too...
I normally lag out in full pop campaigns
And the quite campaigns helped pve players both for content and ease into pvp

Im up for anything at this point, Its better than watching AD get farmed at aless bridge night in and night out. The towers were far easier, I didnt really have to move around, and they always took the death.

The announcement was there was no announcement lol Pvp is a joke right now in it's current state the devs don't care about individual gameplay any longer they are making everything so it benefits people who run in zergs and that wear heavy armor eventually everyone's play style will be the same and pvp will really be dead lol

You'd better specify which server and campaign you were on.

I was in Xarxes (NA-PC) last week getting skyshards because the entire map was blue.

PS4 NA.
We do seem to have more PvP compared to when I log on to my PC NA account.
I am talking small 4 to 5 man groups fighting in open field which is much harder on Vivec because zergs see and run over the fight. That is what these campaigns were good for. Think of them as small scale servers which BG should have been.

On PC/NA, that's a good description of Shor. In my small experience with Kastav after the event, there was a tiny force of blues trying to take back resources because the entire map was red and resources were as much as they could handle. Mind you, Shor can have issues where it gets dominated by one faction, but it usually gets competitive around primetime as the population gets bigger.
