“... end the misguided three-banners war...” Will ZOS finally evolve the game’s lore?

Possibly change the concept of Cyrodiil? Create a new main quest? Rework some of the zones?
That poor elf in Rawl’kha has been in the stocks for over 4 years now, that’s got to be an overly hard punishment for dumping a bit of refuse.

Yea... Not happening lol.
But I think we could see some modifications to the main story, although being the vestige is vital to the story of every player character currently in game, it could be condensed into a true intro quest that every new player does. I'm not a fan of forcing the start at the newest content and it could wrap the molag bal storyline up nice and tidy in the beginning.
As far as cyrodiil, if the three banners war ends, it could go to a pve zone but only if heavily redesigned and probably made smaller. You'd have to then make a new open world pvp option somehow and throw a new reason for players to be fighting each other.
All in all, it may be the direction we're heading but seems to be too much for just one year of content. My best guess would be this entire year is spent ending the conflict in cyro and then lead into a new PVP conflict next year."It is a lovely language, but it takes a very long time saying anything in it, because we do not say anything in it, unless it is worth taking a long time to say, and to listen to." - Treebeard2 -

Khivas_Carrick✭✭✭✭✭Yes, full scale: CataclysmHere's what ya do: make a brand new full scale all of Tamriel main quest Cataclysm style for those that have done the main quest and Caldwell's Silver and Gold.
If you haven't, keep the old main quest open for those that wanna do it via Caldwell.
Cyro can be open war in the past or a brand new PvE and optional PvP zone, i.e cleaning up the place since Molag Bal is bounced out now.Bobbity Boop, this game might become poop, but I'll still play because I'm just a pile of goop!0 -

Yes PvE only players do greatly out number the PvP only players. Deleting PvP from ESO when the game was initially sold as PvP was to be the end game would be bad for Zenima's bottom line. I do not believe they want to loose the revenue from loosing the PvP player base as well as some of the player base of the folks who actually play both.(I know as one who plays both PvE and PvP I would drop this game like a hot potato if they drop either one)
And for back ground on how this game was initially marketed here is a link about 6 min and 50 or so seconds I believe is the end game discussed

✭✭✭✭✭Has a major MMORPG rewritten major story lines 5 years out?
The money is in creating new content, new story lines, not reworking what they already did since it really does not add anything to the game.
Those that want new story lines will obtain access to the DLCs one way or another.

✭✭✭✭✭OtherEvery patch ZOS makes grandiose claims about what's up coming. And every patch we all lose it thinking they're finally going to fix and balance everything. And several weeks after every patch, when the dust settles, we realize it's jus the same game it has always been with the same quest types, the same bugs and issues (and maybe new ones), and nothing ever really changes. It's their job to create hype to get you to buy the next expansion or DLC. They're always going to make it seem huge. My prediction is very little to nothing will change in Cyrodiil or it will just get worse somehow.9 -

They could do with some smaller changes. Evolve the background story in Cyrodiil, like having guilds fight independently for themselves, and adjust the backdrops for the major cities. That would freshen the game up while not driving anyone away.

They would lose players. I'm only in the game for the PvP, and i've never been in a guild (except for a short period before guild merchants were a thing). Been in other games, decided i could do without the drama this time.
Faction based system is good at its core, they just need to promote faction loyalty and get rid of the balance problems (no more alliance switching and dynamic pop caps).Edited by Sharee on January 10, 2019 11:03AM2 -

✭✭✭✭✭No way they’ll do something audacious like thatNo way they put so much work into the game; why not you'd ask? Because they cannot monetize it.
Getting rid of the Three Banners War would need a complete overhaul of the "Vanilla" game. This would make sense because the story has already been crippled but in no way they are going to revamp 15+ zones.PS5EUAldmeri Dominion- Khajiit Arcanist -2 -

✭✭No way they’ll do something audacious like thatDoubt anything will change... at least not without zos royally screwing up again and once again destroy balancing and adding in another hundred bugs without fixing any.

✭They’ll only change the lore for Cyro, but won’t touch the 3-way settingNew Bridges and Outposts were added just recently, why add them, when PVP would undergo a massive rework?
makes no sense to me actually, maybe they split IC from the Campains, and you have to rebuild it. That would make th emost sense to me, but as we have seems till this day, they never changed a DLC in any way, except Gear buffs or nerfs and bugfixes soo highly unlikely

There's like 100 people playing PVP. Can easily make up those losses with some Crown Store items.1 -

Leeched✭✭✭✭✭There's like 100 people playing PVP. Can easily make up those losses with some Crown Store items.
Say, how many PvE zones exist in this game? And there is ONE PvP zone. Why do people like you have to be so selfish and greedy so they want to destroy the fun for the "100 people playing PvP"?

Ha... no, much more than that. You should give it a try...
Would love a major change... new location would be cool. How about the ability to assassinate players in all zones? Ultimately I believe that would be too much work, and in reality, changes will be small.Edited by Lumsdenml on January 10, 2019 1:23PMIn game ID: @KnightOfTacoma
