What if a player upon attacking another player (the one initiating combat only) were to get some sort of debuff in them that causes them to loose all telvar on death?

This way kamikazi ganks/bombs offer no reward unless the attacker can escape. Giving the attackee (or thier freinds) a chace to get all the stones back. And defenders still only loose half on death.

Just a thot...

If you get 2x tel var for each boss you kill
And you lose half of it when you die
And every time you die you bank your tel var

Then this event is basically allowing PvE players to get the regular amount of tel var they would get as if it was a normal time period and they didn’t lose any for dying.


That being said, it’s fun to wipe 30+ with 4-6 people.

And right there is where PVP ends.

Those 30+ PVEers log out for the night and the server is empty again.
And your 4-6 people have to find pvp elsewhere.

Its just a bad design around tel-var thievery. No event will help IC.
A redesign is required.

I think people need to realize IC was a PvP DLC. Like how is that not getting through to y’all?

It is not a PVP DLC, it is a PVE DLC with PVP mechanics turned on. The ultimate goal of the area is farming and not PVP-ing.

In the Arena District, you can fight enemy-alliance players and Xivkyn forces, enter the Ethereal Trophy Vault, and step foot into the Imperial Arena.

Wrong, it's a PvP AND PvE DLC! Weird, PvPers never complained that they had to kill NPCs in IC..

I remember the last IC event had the servers bursting. But for some reason very few seem to be participating I don't PVP so without a big group I'm easy pickings for all the hardcore PVP players. Since the event starting I've only been in 3 groups. Why is the event not as popular as it was last time?

I've never done this event. The day they protect PvE players who are there to do the quests without getting ganked by scumbags I'll be the first through the portal.

You can do quests without event, the event does literally nothing for quests.

It's a pvp dlc, deal with it.

No, it's not a PVP zone. It's a bastardized hybrid zone that does not work which is why nobody goes there. I will not "deal with it", gankers ruin the game for decent people and ZOS should wipe them out.

Every event I end up losing thousands of stones to a combination of extreme lag and gankers before I give up. Still haven't gotten the skin either.
I do enjoy a bit of TV farming, just not the associated loss.

Someone is selling 3 StoneFire scamps for 50k

No way I’m going to get enough gold in time to get it.

Edit: just stored some coin in the bank- got 9,000ish gold in there. The struggle is real.

Uh.... I just started playing late June. Right now, I have 9 girls doing all the writs every day, and 575k in the bank - from writs alone.

I'll send you the 50k if you're PCNA.

Sadly I’m Xbox NA

Im finishing the psijic skill line instead of showing up at ic event. Blahahahha.

well a lot of people do not like being fodder and spending time grinding just for a few trolls to come take your stuff

--ON THIS NOTE--

there are generally good pvp players that are actually trying to find other pvp player in IC to fight, they do exist, and that's fine.

however there are more bad pvp players that are slightly better then the pve players looking to prey on those they can ACTUALLY defeat and take their stuff and feel good about themselves.

--END OF NOTE--

pve players don't like it, voiced there opinions, and the response from PvP'ers was "if you don't like it don't come" . . .so PvE players stopped coming.

as a result the middle of the road PvP'ers that cannot actually fight real skilled pvp players and were just there to farm pve players left as well, as they get munched by legit pvp players looking for a fight.

and as a result of that your left with only the actual pvp players that are small in number and spread out over multiple servers and areas of the zone per server trying to find a fight that would be better found in BG's

--CONCLUSION--

pvevp does not work, in any game, this same issue of pve players vs bad pvp players vs actual good pvp players come up every time, and the same things happen, the pve players leave, so the pve killers leave, and all your left with is a hardcore group of actual pvp players left that munch anyone dumb enough to give it a try after the fact.

--HOWEVER--

we still need IC to be its own thing and its own queue, people have been asking for this forever and it would be really cool.

also

I really think we just need a PvE version of Cyrodill and IC at this point, give the people that just want to do the quests, farm, fish, or explore a place to go, it does not hurt anyone, leave the pvp servers to the people who want to pvp

(I enjoy eso pvp by the way)

Go to IC in the event , no thanks, better off doing it when there is no event as the place is deserted most of the time. PvE and PvP don't mix that well make it a separate thing.

Far out I make more than that per day just turning in 8 crafting writs. I usually make 100-150k per week in selling stuff. Join a trading guild and you can make some coin.

I didn't do the first two anniversaries and i have no interest in the third one..


I do not play mmorpgs to be *** by mentally unstable gamers..

PvP can die by a thousand cuts..

I'd suggest making a couple other toons and start doing crafting writs. Easy gold. Though you do have to get out and harvest mats. On my 9 girls, in about an hour and a half a day I make 22k appx. Per day. Without breaking a sweat. The payout goes up as they get levels too - right now I have two 24s, two 21s, an 11, a 12, two 13s, a 14 and a 15. So the moral of this story is - the game gives you a really easy way to accumulate gold. You should use it.

Daily crafting writs are my main source of income too, ingame, I do them on two characters semi regularly (let's say five times a week) and I earn a mimimum of 12k a week.
Sadly, a hour and a half a day is pretty much all my playing time, having a day job and two children.
And that's also the problem with IC: I can play only in the evening and there's a fair chance that at the end of the day I find myself with more or less the same tel var stones I had at the beginning.

Even the streamers aren't doing it.
