Turn Warmode on and you can pvp everywhere.
Turn Warmode off and nobody will bother you.

    I thought I remembered the devs saying they had no intentions of doing this, but I’d have to dig up the comment to be sure.

    At any rate, they’re not going to be introducing any major system changes like that in the middle of a PTS cycle. They already have enough on their plate fixing the system changes currently in testing.

    No. Just plain no.
    That's a dead horse that has been beat on for a long time.
    Dev's have said a long time ago no and majority of player base say no.
    Yup, just no!! Lol..

    Why don't you ask for group duels instead? That's much more likely to happen than overland PvP.

    Not this again?

    Ignoring all the other arguments against it - how are Zos going to recoup their development costs for this?

    Two ways - it's their big development for the year, like sticker books was last year so covered by sales of the new chapter or they charge for it.

    Do you think they would put a lot of time and therefore money into something 95% of the players are going to turn off? That's not cost effective or good use of resources.

    So if its chargeable it's again going to struggle to get it's costs back because hardly anyone would buy it.

    So this is straight up a good way of losing a lot of money.

    So it's not going to happen

    Attackers should get a bounty (and can only attack players who activated PvP mode)

    Killing an attacker should get you (part of) the bounty.

    You cannot enter PvP mode if you char doesn't have enough money to pay the potential bounty.

    You cannot leave PvP mode while you have a bounty.

    Essentially make current bounty system less bypassable (bounty is taken away from your inventory, as a "deposit")

    Would give a new usage to thieves den.

    Probably won't ever happen but I'd love to have a "nemesis" system that works like the Ring of Mara. I can designate a player to be my nemesis (they must accept of course). From that point forward we are always aggro'd when we see each other in the overworld. Could make for some fun emergent storytelling.

    Er dueling? If you are having trouble finding dueling partners that tells you all you need to know about how popular this would be.

    Dueling isn't even close to the same thing as a true open-world fight. There are dozens of viable open world builds but only 1-2 viable dueling builds. No room for creativity or playstyle. Just brawl it out until someone runs out of stamina.

    Open PvP Modes would make little sense for various reasons:

    Lore:
    From a Lore perspective there are no factions existing in the Zones. Following the Main Quest you effectively "change" your Faction through Meridia so lorewise you are always a member of the faction the zone belongs too. Newer zones are not even integrated into the war, so bringing the war there would make no sense.

    Gameplay:
    The gameplay in the world is not build around open PvP and its effets on the area around it. Thats especially true for cities and the justice system.

    Overall the idea would not result in what you expect to happen. I played WoW on an open PvP server and you had huge areas where no PvP happened because everyone wanted to play in peace. I played SWG where you could enable/disable a PvP setting similar to what is suggested. There PvP also focused on a few areas. The end result of such a situation would be more or less that players meet up and fight, similar to the current dueling system.

    What you might want instead of open PvP might be an option to have group based duels where groups fight against each other.

    I know of some very popular dueling spots in ESO where its pretty much guaranteed you'll find someone there, but the fact I'm saying this doesn't mean I agree with OP. As Olupajmibanan pointed out it'd just be better to implement group dueling.

    No. It is because we can have 3 nice situation.
    You can go full pvp in Cyrodill.
    You can go full pve with Warmode off.
    And you can have a really nice experience when you are doing quest and somebody attack you.

    Who played WOW knows what I'm talking about.

    And it is just a OPTIONAL.

    If you don't wana don't use.

    I really don't understand why some people go in rage because that.

    ESO is huge and have a lot of quest outside IC and Cyrodill.

    I don't do quest I only play in IC or Cyrodill.
    I only do overland when I wana a set.

    So for sure would be interesting for pvp players go for pve if they would be attacked when they are doing the quests.

    No rage, just this is Elder Scrolls. Devs and majority of player base do not want it in Tamriel. Thats all folks!
    Really love open world PvP, go play WoW. Just like the Global Auction House, want one? Go play WoW.
    I realize you don't understand why we are against it, but most of the player base are TES fans, and again, not in ESO.

    If I can visually turn off all players that have this flag set to on while I have it set to off, fine by me. In the same way, anyone with the flag on can only see others with the flag on. They can pvp all they want while they are completely invisible to me and I don't have to see it. In that way, it has zero effect on my gameplay so why not?

    Once they realize it's basically 4 gankers wandering around Tamriel looking for someone to gank (that doesn't exist because they have the flag off) they might realize how pointless it is. They of course won't consider that it's an unpopular playstyle. They will just go around zone telling people how horrible and casual they are for having it set to off.

    The way you say lets go back to ESO year one and keep everything with no changes.

    And again, if you don't wana use it, don't use.

    This option is better than say go and play another game.

    I realize you don't understand the meaning of optinial and are against something that will not affect you at all, but could bring more fun to others players.

    Could be, why not.

    If you are a pve and don't wana fight players but still wana play the main story in IC and Cyrodill, why not?

    I'm seeing in this pvp event players and streamers killing a lot of pvers and laughing but when we come close and kill this guys they start to be upset and whisper us asking to let they kill the pvers.

    I'm really taking some time in this event helping the pvpers to complete their quest. I more like a bodyguard lol.

    Because I don't understand what is so funny in kill someone with 10k resistance 22k health, no critical resistance, using only two Dzswing and Executioner.

    And the Warmode could give you the freedom to choose if you wana it or not.

    A guy here told that nobody wana Warmode. I'm see players here that agree with the idea.

    Maybe the majority of the pvp hardcore players in the forum don't wana it.

    But for sure this players does not represent 13 million players and we know that the majority of the players in eso are pvers.


    The Warmode could a first step to this players experience the pvp environment just a little day by day.

    As I told before if you don't like, just turn it off instead to ask to somebody go and play another game.
