lack of reason to play no cp and ic

ThePhantomThorn · November 2019

the no cp campaign on xbox eu is dead. in fact, all campaigns ecept 30 day standard are dead. ic is as dead as ever.

zos. please add some intuitive to play no cp and ic. add permanent double telvar to ic, and permanent double ap to no cp. that will give people a reason to play the dead zones.
the ic event proved that people will go to these areas if given a reason.
so come on.

I play no-cp cyro, but Eu-pc

There aleready are benefits. Less zergy, less lagging and almost no queue
Also, no-cp seems more ballanced to me (it isnt easy to build such strong troll builds as in CP)

While I have not played on xbox for a long time, unless PvP there is pretty much dead I would expect the no CP campaign is just low pop like it is on both PC servers.

Regardless, Zos should not encourage one campaign over another. The campaigns should stand on their own. If no-CP campaign is truly dead then so be it.

No-CP IC sucks because the guards and mobs are not balanced for No-CP.

IMO:

- Battlegrounds (obviously No-CP) is the most balanced and fun pvp mode currently.

- No-CP Cyro would be fun, but its more about ballgroups farming big pug zergs. Most solos tend to just run away when see me or other friends, not much action outside emp keep ring and action there is at primetime laggy and unresponsive skills and bar swap not working gets old..

- CP Cyro is same as no-cp except a bit more people and more trollish running around with just longer battles. Big groups doing map at mornings after alarm clock wakes them up, then when enemies starts to come on they logout when they starting to be defeated. I guess fun for some.

- CP IC is fun to solo, when there are people around.

- No-CP IC is rather empty, since bosses/banner guards feel tedious (slow, not hard ) to fight so it just feels like a chore too much unless a ganker, and what does a campaign full of gankers look like? It looks empty when everyone is hiding and waiting for that 1 templar to come farm bosses.

So personally i end up playing Battlegrounds the most, no zergs, just fast action and people who just run away actually just gets their team defeated.

What has made the Cyro campaigns dead outside primetime? Bad performance and the endless nerfs to anything that works and is fun, so there are mainly zerglings anymore and some who farm them, solo and small scale groups roaming around are getting more and more rare.

ICP needs its own campaign with unique end of month/week rewards imo. It would give people an incentive to go in there.

I play on PC EU and PC NA. I don't think encouraging people to spread between different campaigns will work. The numbers aren't there. PC EU has a fairly healthy no CP Cyro population as the numbers are large enough to frequently spill over into a second campaign. On PC NA such a population also exists, but it is relatively barren most times of day.

People go where the action is and the only place where you can find some action all times of day is Kaalgrontiid. Lag doesn't drive people away. It might drive solo players and small-scalers away, but I believe the bulk of people who play in Cyro have some investment in the campaign.

CP IC is quite busy on PC these days, compared to before it became it's own campaign. Sometimes it's easier to find action there, as a solo player, than in Cyro. In terms of overall numbers, the population is never high, but thank god for that. It's the only open-world place where you can consistently find lag-free action. Stay away from my IC! During the event I could even feel some lag creeping in there. No. Please no!

No CP IC has no real reason to exist. Like Moonsorrow says, mobs are tedious. Bosses are doubly tedious, because you have to build with more sustain and possibly tankier. Your DPS goes down a lot. No boss farmers, not much reason to go there, although a few people specialise on it.
