It's currency that can be deposited in your bank. You can only loose burdens you choose to carry.
Well i know what tel var is, just not sure how people were able to bank them.
Typically you travel back to your home base via the sewers or Sigils of Imperial Retreat (the safer option) and then deposit the Tel Var with the banker.
Lol I was completely unaware you could do that. So it's only a banker in the base area of the sewer? Or any banker?
Any banker will do. Just deposit it like any other currency.
Oh, I forgot one method. You can also use the Alliance War menu to queue for a different campaign, which will port you out of IC, then drop off your Tel Var at a banker.
Loathe it XD
I wish there was an option to opt out of PVP when I’m trying to do quests and mind my own business.
But hey ***, can’t be helped.
Just remember to bank your TVs, guys. Don’t waltz around like I did with 60k one time.
gankers, hunter kill BG groups chasing down solo pve players, raids hiding in stealth waiting to jump groups.
I'm glad you got to bank some!Loathe it XD

Meh I just went in for 30 mins to see if I can bank tel var as was suggested here (you can) and got ganked by some pact guy within a few minutes of farming. Was dead before I even knew what was hitting me. Hope you enjoyed that measly 600 tel var you stole from me random pact guy
I banked the rest. So the jokes on him. *sips coffee*
Ok back to PVE stuff again.

They way I look at it during the event is go get as much TV as you can. If you get killed, they take half and you are at a banker so you can bank the other half. So effectively you are getting 100% of the tel var you would earn when there is no event.
You gotta' rationalize your way to a place where you don't rage.
To be honest, I wish it was even less 'solo PvE' friendly and still stand by the fact that you should HAVE to be risking 10k(5k) or something there to even contribute to flag caps etc.

No risk vs reward at all. You go out and gank with 0 Tel Var, deposit in the bank, repeat. If you do get killed (unlikely) you lose nothing.
And this is why the IC is extremely bad design compared to Cyrodiil.
Cyrodiil is about war objectives and actual PvP OBJECTIVES -- taking land, trying to win the war and becoming emperor. There's a proper context for the PvP activity and AP is the measure of it.
All the PvP activity in the Imperial City is about MUGGING PEOPLE for Tel Var.
Tel Var ultimately comes from PvE -- killing PvE monsters.
So there are people who harvest Tel Var. And then there are people who mug other people for Tel Var. That is exclusively the PvP part of the Imperial City DLC -- mugging people for Tel Var.
Nothing in the Imperial City furthers the Three Banners War.
Ironically, if players ONLY focussed on PvE monster-killing, they'd end up with a lot more Tel Var than trying to mug it from people. Without less fear of losing your Tel Var, you could concentrate on increasing your multiplier and killing the comparatively easy PvE monsters.
Just like in real life, if you continually raid and destroy infrastructure you are just racing to the bottom. Instead, wealth comes from building infrastructure and civilized cooperation.
But ZOS probably knows people are selfish and stupid and won't farm massive amounts of Tel Var that way.
@ZOS_GinaBruno Thanks ZOS for a DLC that glorifies base criminal behaviour.

Yeah, make the baseline PvP experience as painful as possible so it will remain a place just for jerks!
Great idea ZoS, are you paying attention?
for all you that just got it free and got to experience it first hand how did you like it?
gankers, hunter kill BG groups chasing down solo pve players, raids hiding in stealth waiting to jump groups.
how long before you raged.
how long before you said "F this" and left IC
if your wondering, it has never been good, this is as good as it gets, it will never be enjoyable, other pvp modes are far more fun so I recommend joining in on BG's or cyro, IC is trash, end.

Considering that the so called war is going to be over soon and Imperial city, (along with Cyrodil) will become a PVE zone, no I don't hate it.....I do have a lot of popcorn on hand though when the only PVP left in ESO will be arenas.
The pvp tears will be delicious.

That is the expectation now. New people need to be good before they can enjoy something and prey on others instead.
I am sure that will work great with a company that wants to get general people involved, right?

Who said they did? Maybe they play at a low ping -- some of us in Asia have pings of >400-500. Maybe they ani cancel -- most players don't even know ani-cancelling exists. Maybe they used rigged controllers -- many 1vXers do. Hell I saw one magsorc this morning who's shield stayed up even when he was stunned, rooted and then knocked down.
Sure, there are a lot of honest players and practice makes perfect, but your suggestion is frivolous at best, or possibly even disingenuous.
