    I was thinking they should add something similar to Everquest's Priests of Discord - turn in the Tome of Discord to the priest, and your character is now PVP. Don't want to be PVP? Destroy the tome.

    Make all zones both PVP and PVE, including Cyrodiil. Those who want to play PVP anywhere, can. Those who want to play PVE anywhere, can. Then add PVP objectives in all other zones, both vanilla overland zones and expansions. You could even add bounty hunting for those PVP characters who are caught committing crimes!

    I’d take a 1.5 classic version (pre-cp, pre Tamriel unlimited) any day. I’d even buy the darn game again for it.

    I’m not talking rose colored glasses either. The game was far deeper back then in terms of combat.

    For example:

    Ball of Lightning countered ranged magic attacks

    Force pulse countered ball of lighting because the Cleve would bounce off the lighting ball and still hit the sorc

    Veiled strike was unable to be dodged it had to be selectively blocked

    Meteors could be reflected

    Double reflect was a counter

    Eclipse reflected all abilities even Dawnbreaker back in the casters face

    Heavy attack could be bash interrupted stoping resource gain and stunning the enemy

    Uppercut and it’s morphs could be bash interrupted so some potatoe couldn’t try and cast it in your face without an immovable pot

    Gap closers actually work and didn’t snare or otherwise mess with character pathing

    We had unique skills like Blinding Flashes, the toggle inferno,

    Last but not least no CP, no power creep, and much smaller resource pools meant mistakes were much more costly, even more costly than no cp is currently. Button mashing animation canceling in pvp was discouraged because the way resource management worked back then you would be out of resources in about 7-10 seconds and dead. Combat was more of a sustain and outsmarting your opponent, baiting people into mistakes and over extending instead of the button mashing we have now

    Case in point

    Do an eso classic already ZOS take my money I know TONS of people who will buy it and come back in an instant. It’s just more money in your pocket.

    Fake Poll.

    When All of the choices Only support the writer's point of view, it's a completely False poll.

    When the writer claims the game deteriorates with every patch - and does Not show any evidence to prove it - it should be translated into ' I, the writer don't like it, and everyone must agree with me '.

    When they say the quality of PvP as a whole deteriorates, and shows No evidence to support the claim, see previous translation.

    This is simply one individual's personal bias and opinion - Which they have every right to. But to make such sweeping generalities and claim them to be Facts, is a tad dishonest and makes their position much more difficult to sympathize with.

    IMHO

    Its about that time! As this game deteriorates with every patch and the quality of pvp as a whole, If Eso could some how bring a pvp campaign out thus cycling through all the most iconic patch's they've had in the past thus reverting abilities and classes to their former state in those patches, for example if you had a month campaign and it cycled weekly through the most demanded patches like 1.6, one tamerial, morrowind etc
    lets be real the game isnt getting better for pvper's and this idea i have not the slightest doubt it would revitalize pvp and bring back so many veterans included!
    i'm pretty sure this would be relative to the wow approach in some aspects. A campaign for veterans should be considered thought!

    Biast as *** poll. Vanilla eso ssd TOTAL crap. I know been here since beta.

    Let's not pretend any version of ESO PvP was universally loved. If you started with console, maybe you don't remember infinite swarm vampires. Although we could balance that out with the week they broke silverbolts and it was instakilling vamps. How about when you could buy overpower npc guards? Or how about back to when ground oils were still a thing, only now we would know we could use caltrops to cancel out ground AoE?

    My suggestion is delete pvp from eso.
    Launch standalone Cyrodiil online, with battlegrounds included.

    Just screw over anyone who enjoys doing different types content on their characters because you don't?

    Who like both types of content can play both games, aren't they?

    Because grinding out gear, mats, skills, et cetra for two of the same character, sounds like so much fun...

    Having to log out of one game, then back into another just to swap game modes that have always been in the same game, sounds like so much fun...

    Adding more work for devs, sounds like so much fun...

    But the main reason in pvp game you grind your gear in pvp, isn't it? So you enjoy grinding pve for pve gear and pvp for pvp gear.
    Ir they can make equalized gear for cyrodiil online.
    Like 3 defensive set for 3 armor types , with bonuses like
    1000 stat (Hp, Stam, mag)
    --3% damage from players
    And 5 bonus +300 wpd or spd or 4k max stat. And - 15% damage.
    And same offencive set with +% damage to players.
    Same with Ms.
    And all buyable for ap.
    It's only for example, I don't want to think more then 1 min about it.

    The main reason I PvP is to PvP. The main reason I PvE is to PvE. Gearing is just part of getting prepared.

    Further, gear crosses boundaries as we do wear some gear in PvP that is obtained in Pve and I know of several sets I have worn over the years in PvE that was obtained in PvP.

    However, I fail to see how this is germane to what OP has asked for.

    No it is not a separate server, it is a separate instance on the same server. If it were a separate server you wouldn't be able to take a character there from any other zone. There are two servers for PC and two each for the consoles. To do what you ask they would need to add three more servers.

    That isn't going to happen.

    And we still have the problem of who decides how far to roll back. No matter where they would roll back to they would alienate the majority of their players.

    hey look it's another poll with an obvious bias

    lest we forget how "broken" and "unbalanced" every previous patch was

    Every previous patch was actually fun and classes felt like they actually had identity. Can’t say the same for what we have now.

    it's hypothetical, and to pull it off we wouldn't know the extent or measures they would need to go to. unless that is, if you work for them? doubt it

    this poll is informative to show there is at least a 50/50 split which should be reflective to nearly the entire population of the game that is left.
    However I can care careless for the 50% of casuals that would vote against a hypothetical possibility, & and I guarantee these would be hindsight hypocrites if something of this nature were to exist, meaning they would enjoy this campaign and especially one that rewards skill, if they were ever to bridge the skill gap!

    It wont reflect the entire Population, there isnt nearly as many Players that care About PvP than there is Players that dont. And the People that played at launch are even less. Also because around 140 People voted on that poll and had a Rough 50/50 split doesnt mean that you can apply this to the playerbase.

    sure the casual player base might be the majority but I care about the majority of great eso pvper's
