Hi everyone,

What you're experiencing is not working as intended - it's a bug. If you are in Cyrodiil or Imperial City and you crash, disconnect, or naturally log out, you should log back in to Cyrodiil/Imperial City. The only instance where this will not be the case is if your campaign is full (which does not sound to be the case here.) We're currently investigating, and thank you for bringing it to our attention.

This has been a thing for a very long time. Unless the campaign is full you should be able to remain in the PvP area where you left.

I kind of dislike the change because it does take a while to get back into IC. However, logging out is a nice way to secure my stones. I no longer have to travel back thru the server and have a change of getting ganked.

Use sigil...?

spending gold on Sigil would be kind of expensive unless you are making a lot of stones. For me it is not worth the 20k stones I might have on me before I go back to the base.

I normally don't have a problem traveling back to camp because i am a mag NB. However, with this bug I can just log off and log back in and take a few extra steps to get to the base camp.

Retreat sigils can only be bought with AP (alliance points). The economic argument for them is quite simple. On PC EU, you stand to make roughly 2 gold per Tel Var stone, when you sell stuff bought with stones. The best rate you get for AP comes from selling in-demand gold jewelry from "the Golden" weekend vendor, and is roughly 1 gold per 5 AP. Thus a retreat sigil is worth roughly 2K gold, the same as 1K Tel Var stones. Would I use a retreat sigil to save 10K stones? Absolutely! A sigil is only worth 1K stones.

Always do the trap chests when you see them. These are chests that randomly appear, in IC sewers, in places where there are normally daedra, but no chest. You can recognise them, because they have no lock / no lockpicking difficulty associated with them. When you try to open such a chest, a few waves of daedra spawn (not difficult), which you have to defeat before you can loot. These chests have a chance to contain retreat sigils.

For anyone complaining about having to travel to I.C. from your closest Keep? Ya all need to realize it's a PvP area. I.C. is essentially a PvP area. You want the prize, be ready to fight!

I'll agree there should be a direct portal to I.C., I'll agree the server pop count should have always been separate from Cyro proper. But until that changes,what I won't agree with is PvE'ers complaining about getting ganked or attacked on the way to I.C. It's part of the game, and if your mount is in order (meaning full speed and stam etc.) It's really not a long distance from the closest Keep-to-sewer entrance. If your faction doesn't have that? Well hey, how about doin' something useful, and helping flip that Keep for your faction. Who knows lol, you might even like it!!!!

So go ahead, let the arguments begin on PvP vs. PvE. Ya all know what's involved from the get go. Why QQ about it.

I'm a PVP'er and I'm finding this bug to be bloody annoying! I think you've just jumped on to take an easy swipe at PVE'rs instead of actually contributing to the topic at hand. Some examples from yesterday:
* Ran out of food, quickly log onto another character to make food, log back on and my character is back in Vivic City have to make my way back to IC
* Needed more potions, quickly log onto another character to make potions, log back on and my character is back in Vivic City have to make my way back to IC
* Decide to change my build up slightly and put spriggan's on, need my weapon off another character. Log off, log back on and my character is back in Vivic City have to make my way back to IC
* Go to lunch, come back and my character is back in Vivic City have to make my way back to IC

It seems annoying mostly because it takes so long to get to IC- really, it's not about a threat, I was in Cyrodil for over an hour and didn't see a single other player, even from my faction. It's just annoying to have to ride all the way to the entrance every time.

A port to the entrance should just be there.

MakoFore · September 2017

i thought so- i thought this was just too easy a workaround, rather than fighting your way back to base with 20000 stones- i just logged out and logged in. i thought it might have been a bit too convenient.

Hi, I was in the IC today and my internet failed briefly. While I did lose 13k stone (>_<), it did relog me back into the city. OP probably got kicked from full server.

No you are incorrect. This occurs to almost everyone I know who willingly logs out while zoned in IC or Cyrodiil. ZOS should fix this. And yes, this bug occurs on empty campaigns. A failed connection is not the same as actually logging out of the server.

Morgul667 · September 2017

Thanks for the info

Fyi we cant join and tp on our group leader campaign anymore

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom

Not sure this is intended or not

Just read the patch notes. There is no mention of the problem being fixed.

of course not, it's pvp and the usual fix time is 1-4 months or never

This is true of all Cyrodiil (and as an extension, Imperial City) since the HotR update. All characters will log into the last non-cyrodiil location they were in.

Unwanted change, just wasting time while travelling to IC.

With this change, ZOS should give direct teleport option to IC.

think of it this way. If you have a ton of tel var.you can simply log out and have them be safe.

FACT!

Beardimus · September 2017

The timing of this bug is a nightmare given then event. If you only get short gaming windows schlepping about on the horse etc just burns time.

Morgul667 · September 2017

Yeah this is boring

And the fact that we cannot join our group leader campaign seems to be completly ignored as well ?

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom, can you reconfirm that ZOS view this as a bug? Is it on your to do list? I hoped you'll fix it by Clockwork City for sure, but alas, no.

20k AP for a instant teleport? It costs basically nothing. I'm pretty sure you can't even buy the sigils with gold, only AP, which is not a bad thing.

Or you could always go through the sewers (Arena for EP, Temple for AD and Elven Gardens for DC) which is like a 2 minute run where you can ignore all the mobs and just go straight for the base.

Docmandu · November 2017

Yet another speedy ZOS fix?!

maboleth · November 2017

^ I always get ported back to Cyrodiil if campaign isn't full, no problems whatsoever. PC EU.

Another patch and still no fix? @ZOS_JessicaFolsom
