Sadly it didn´t change all that much.

They've added a tel var value to Molag Bal for PvE players and there is a few people scattered round but not much going on there still.

Needs to be an incentive to be there other than a basic amount of telvar. I'd up the telvar gain in the sewers, based on the doors and districts above - Or add alternative capture points beneath that give bonuses in the tunnels.

The door in the sewer base needs to act as a wayshrine or let us tele out of the base to wherever we want to go. If I want to leave, I have to go through multiple load screens to get where I should have got in one.

Better or worse than what?

It's better than being punched in the ... nether regions

It's worse than having a dinner of pizza and wings

the entire IC needs an overhaul, the most glaring mechanic that breaks the fun there imo, is how fast some ppl can respawn if you kill them and their faction holds that district.

The fact that it is much easier to get there in itself is a huge improvement. You no longer have to queue into Cyrodiil and then run to the center of the map just to get access IC.

If you want it to be better, remove the tel var loss on PvP death, and make a PvP kill award a statistic amount of stones (diminishing if you're killing the same person repeatedly over a short period of time).

And if you want to make it truly great, create a new PvE campaign. That way both PvPers and PvEers can both play the way they want to.

This is never a good idea.

Back in the day, if you had 5k stones on you, you were shitting your pants and because it took a strong and efficient solo player an ~hour to farm 10k stones that were worth 120k gold, losing 80% of it was a huge deal.

Now you can solo farm >150k an hour and can even do >50k P/H just killing adds in an owned district and if you die you lose 50%.

As it stands right now, unless you're someone who runs around with 300k on you, you don't really lose much for a death, even 100k stones you only lose 50k, that's 3 bosses solo, you're talking 15 minutes.

If anything, the TV loss should be back at 80% as 99.9% of the time, it's quicker to farm the bosses yourself than it is to find people and make the same amount in 50% splits.

That is a bit of an issue, nobody wants to pack someone up and have them run back in 14s with full resources. Especially when the opposing group size is bigger than yours.

They should just add a 30s timer on death until you can respawn and force said respawn at the base (If you've taken or dealt player damage) - That gives people at least a minute and a half without the players they've packed up already.

its alright, i spend less time there, but at least more fights are occurring.

so worse for me, but i imagine its better for more people which makes it "better."

still dead af

imperial city is the content with the most potential in my opinion...i wish someone would find a way to exploit that to get more players there!

Probably an unpopular opinion here, but I think giving each faction the two, or at least one district(s) that connect(s) closest to their base would be a good idea. It's quite annoying when one faction is completely stomping the others because of a huge group. I still think losing Tel Var on death is a good idea, and that any player should be able to enter any district. But giving each faction at least one permanent district would give players a guaranteed place to farm faster, while still keeping the risk of enemy players killing taking a cut. With the Imperial City now being separate, I just think it's pointless to force it into the same dynamic as Cyrodiil.

I've had a blast pvping in there during primetime after the update. There is little to no lag, and I've run into solos, small man groups, and even some large raids. Finally back to a good mix of pve and pvp!

I actually enjoy beating up daedra for Tel Var, but the constant gankers looming since the update has made me reconsider playing anything other than a nightblade when I go there. I think it's gotten far worse now that it's easier to access, but then again, I'm trash at the game so what do I know. What do you think?

Yeah I don't blame you. I wouldn't go in there as anything other than a Night Blade either. You're just gank bait or zerg food if you do.

As to your last point - I haven't noticed it changing much really. Seems about the same as always to me.
