The Imperial Sewers should allow you to turn off being able to attack other players and from being attacked by other players. Some of us want to farm those Tel Var, skyshards and just explore. It's a great place to level a toon. Being forced to go into a PvP zone while being a PvE only player just sucks.

i’d definitely call myself a pve main, but i am close with some people who primarily pvp and that’s given me some perspective on the matter that pvp in this game is exciting content, and pvpers deserve events too. i’ve built a character specifically for IC/BG action, and it’s been a lot of fun learning different pvp tactics.

the fact that this game has pvp modes is awesome, and i mean a bunch of esports is plaver vs player games anyways, so what’s wrong with TESO players enjoying a little bloodsports every now and then. pvp in this game could be a very enjoyable sport, if the lag wasn’t so bad and skills actually fired when you press the buttons! pvp combat is fast paced and chaotic, and you have to build for it but it can be very satisfying when you coordinate with other players and take down a big group, etc.

Imagine being a PVP player being forced to go into PVE zones for gear.

imagine playing both game modes, and enjoying it

Sorry I can't really imagine that, as I don't enjoy both game modes. I play both game modes because the only way to run certain PVP builds in ESO, is to get gear locked behind PVE content. I am sure some people enjoy both, but that is not me. I only enjoy PVP.

The good news is, you PVErs have almost every other event in the year all to yourselves!

it sucks that there’s such a division between game modes, and most people just get outright salty about it. i would like more pvp content to freshen things up, and i guess it’s up to the devs how the gear in the game gets distributed. it would be pretty sweet if there was a golden vendor for body pieces as well, or something to help out pvpers who don’t wana gear farm in dungeons. most likely the devs want both modes to be populated, so they set it up that way. players gets mad at each other, but really you gotta take it up with the devs.

Umm you do know that no one can stop you looting the final boss right? Once you've killed it they can't charge anywhere to stop you looting the final boss cause where they are doesn't mater.

They can absolutely stop you from looting the final boss. You have to have put damage on any boss in a dungeon to get a drop from it, and if someone has charged ahead and killed the boss before you get there you cannot loot because it doesn't have any loot or even a yellow outline for you.

If you're in a group so you don't.....you literally just have to be in the area of the dungeon boss when it dies. That's not how dungeons work at all.......have you done dungeons before? Or perhaps you're thinking of a world boss?

That is exactly how it works because I have *checks notes* Done Dungeons Before Where I Didn't Damage A Boss And Didn't Get Loot. I am, however, beginning to suspect you've never actually done dungeons with a group before since you're acting like it's not possible. People are going to back me up on this, not you, to be quite honest.

This actually happened to me quite few times

Both during undaunted event and out of it

I had lowbies to level and because my passives and stamina sucked, couldn't keep up with the guy running ahead

So couldn't loot the boss

Ps. I mainly PvP but I never criid in forums to complain about a few jerks I came across in PvE, however I am very sick of grinding undaunted, psijic, lorebooks, fighters guild each time just so I can PvP

They don't care anyway. They just like to spoil people's mood and get pleasure from it, lol.

It's pvp. if you dont like being killed then you shouldnt go to a pvp zone.

Except it's PvA more often than not now.

I think they should have separate Alliance ranks: One for the player, another for the proc set and/or poison that's actually doing the killing most of the time.

I carry exactly zero telvar on me when I go walking - yes, walking - around the IC districts, but I salute your gusto.

Yeah, I purposefully let NPC mobs kill me on the regular, just so that PvP players in IC will get no Tel Var from me when they're griefing me as I try, over and over, to achieve that one quest objective that they're camping.

I can't stop them from getting AP, but at least I can prevent those big piles of Tel Var loot.

On the flip side, when I've finished the quests in a district, I'll usually build up a bit of Tel Var killing some mobs, then prance up to a random player from another faction and jump around in front of them until they get the idea and kill me. That way, they get a reward for giving me the suicide teleport back to my base!

I love running up to other players for that handy blood port.

Here's a tip, if you can (like if they haven't immediately gone the chop on you) put your weapon away deliberately so they see you do it. You can get some HILARIOUS reactions that way.

I actually clipped this happening in Cyro the other day because it pleased me so much. I was on my blue and realised I was way behind the yellow zerg and wouldn't be able to get back to our outpost they were heading for in time. I saw someone appear coming towards me and then the yellow shield popped in, so I shot a fire light attack to get their attention, they started coming at me, I ran forward a bit and put my staff away.

Anyway, they dismounted, ran up, put on a bunch of buffs like they thought I was bait or a trap or something and then... look, I don't know how to describe it when it's the teabag gesture except no one is carpet... respectful kneeling, I guess. Anyway, they started doing that, so I started doing that, and so we did that at each other for a bit then a second yellow came in on a gap closer, swung like twice instinctively then backed off when they realised neither of us were fighting (it was too late for me then haha I am VERY squishy).

I have had some in IC too (especially if I'm in on baby toons) where they'll come roaring up at me ready to execute, I put my weapon away and they veer off. I assume this is one of the kindly type who let PvEers bee. Once I had to keep running at someone (still with my weapon away) 'til they realised what I wanted.

It's all very well pve'rs complaining about getting killed but an awful lot of you don't seem adverse to taking a pot shot at other players when they're otherwise engaged. Or indeed, patiently waiting for you to grab the skyshard / do your quest. Usually right before running off at high speed when you realise it isn't going to work. There's only so many times someone does that before you start shooting first and asking questions later.
