A vision of Cyrodil

Cold91 · December 2017

It has been a long ,long, long time since the PvP community has gotten an update from Mr. Wheeler or any PvP department devs on what the company's future vision is for Cyrodil. So in this post I thought I would ask a few questions i'm sure are representative of the community.
1st: Is there a future for Cyrodil PvP?
2nd: If no, is it because the powers that be decided that BG's are the future of PVP?
3rd: If there is in fact a "way forward" in the development of Cyrodil PvP, what is it? Can we get some hints?

Those are just a few burning questions I and many others have. To the other players please feel free to add to the list of Q's in a constructive and respectful manner.
Im not sure what the rules on dev tagging are....but here are a few: @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom and of course most important @ZOS_BrianWheeler

If any of you devs get around to seeing this I would like to thank you for your time, and any informative reply would go along way in soothing your player base, seriously we need a "W".

I, too am highly interested in hearing about any future plans for Cyrodiil or AVA.

I feel that as someone whom spends the majority of his time in Cyrodiil that new content and improvements are needed. I would love to see a new giant PvP zone to explore, gank, and pillage my way through.

Any insights from the Devs or the ZOS forum team about their future plans for the PvP aspects of this game would be warmly welcomed.

Very curious about this as well. Cyrodiil has seen a few cosmetic changes and tweaks here and there, but most of the changes that impact the day to day in PvP are ability changes or added sets that rise and fall in popularity. It's such a big map, it seems a shame that this is all it's ever going to be.

Idea I had was with Molag Bals defeat, peace comes to Cyrodil. Imperials try to reestablish themselves there in now a PVE zone and the three alliances go to a deadric princes’ zone while they are all at war with one another. 3 alliances fight each other (new PVP zone) for new land, resources and some unknown power the alliance leaders want to use for their own lands.

I say redesign all the keeps and outposts to make each one unique. Offering unique siege and defense experiences. Give each one unique flag placement.

It's probably a lot more work than its worth but I too would love this.

Yeah yeah, Cyrodiil isn't finished, we want more, the usual stuff.

More important tho:
Jess has a last name?!?!?!

When Tam is being serious on the forums, you know *** is real. I really love this idea!
Having the inner keep located in a different place in each keep and make the structure somewhat different, that would be so cool. Changing flag locations would make a great change too!

Azurya · December 2017

and perhaps a few homes to acquire, which you are only able to visit when your alliance has influence in that area, and which other alliances can plunder and devastate!
and a few new bugs, like mounts are running bachwards if you press Rapid
or trebuchet/ballistas throwing lollypops
or if you eat something you can get also a endless loading screen
or if you are wearing your armour in cyro, you are rooted, till you run bare through the area

can´t wait to see all the good new ideas which are coming from ZOS

I'd like to see an expansion of the towns. When one alliance claims it, there would be a possibility to use repair kits on specific areas around the flags. As these spots are repaired, walls pop up with two gates on either side of the flag. If the attackers want to take the town, they now have to siege it rather than just steamroll a few NPCs.

Once the walls are fully constructed, the owning alliance can now teleport to it once every 15 minutes.

Both those changes should make towns more important; they serve as a frontier into the enemy alliance's lands, and are then actually worth defending.

Gates, such as the one en route to Chalman, should also be destructible like the walls of a keep.

tinythinker · December 2017

Yeah, I've had ideas for Cyro overhauls as have many others. It would be really nice to see something that sets the alliances apart. Keeps and outposts could get re-skinned when captured, siege equipment could look different for each alliance, and so many more possibilities. I think though that all the effort on the design side of PvP is booked for battlegrounds at the moment, however.

This would be awesome

They should make a version of cyrodiil that is not a pvp area. i would love to explore cyrodiil without being killed. that would be a massive project though since the zone is huge.

There’s always one.

Datthaw · December 2017

They just need a reason for players to visit the area outside of emp keeps. 90% of cyro is unused

There is, but in a way I agree with him. I'd like to have PvP and Non-PvP servers, so I could log in and have PvP in all of Tamriel. When someone grabs the node I was just about to harvest, it'd be nice if I could kill them.
