What's in store for pvp players with Blackwood?

@ZOS_GinaBruno this is a genuine question.
We already knew that companions weren't usable in pvp, and so far I haven't seen anything new coming to the game with Blackwood to excite pvp players.
Until now we usually got something with each chapter, new class, skill line, jewelery crafting and. Mythics respectively.
I play both pve and pvp(more), so I will still buy the chapter, however most of my pvping friends and guild mates already only purchased Greymoor for the mythics and nothing else.
So what's in store? Zone sets we can buy from other players who get the chapter, trial gear is rarely usable in pvp with a few exeptions.
Are we getting new mythics? If so are they going to be mega op to push sales?
Really hoping for some answers in tonights ESO live.
My suggestion would be to add sigil stones as a way to expand the enchanting system.
Sigil stones could be runes that add effects you wouldn't normally be able to get.
They fit in with the lore of oblivion gates from TESIV and would fit in nicely to the coming mechanic as well.
They also wouldn't require a massive amount of work, since you could just add them as crafting mats for enchanting.
For anyone who doesn't know what sigil stones are, these are the conduits that power the oblivion gates is TESIV, and you had to remove them to close the oblivion portals.
Once retrieved they could were used to enchant your gear.
And what enchants you ask? How about crit chance on your belt?
Max hp on your sword?
Tons of possibilities.
While this won't happen, I am hoping you guys will at least do a balance pass on classes to address some long time and very present concerns.

✭✭✭How bout custom bgs with the chapter? You can only do them if you have the chapte, wham bam big easy money happy investors and all that.1 -
hands0medevil✭✭✭✭✭Maybe we will be able to duel companions, lol. Just imagined the threads "can't beat my own companion, plz nerf".
But tbh, we get nothing. ESO turned it back on pvpers, can't you see that Zenimax is waving goodbye to us?2 -

✭My guess: Only new Mythics/sets, sadly

Whether that's true or not I cannot say, but the Lancer's camera angle is absolutely terrible! Also when ZOS shifted the game from pushing you to doing Cyrodiil content to PVE content after the failure of the Imperial City new PVP content has been rare.
We have gotten a few new cosmetics on the PVP scene though like the siegemaster costume, timbercrow wanderer, arena gladiator, Knight of the Circle style pages, and the like, but it's just there to keep the same PVP game loop running. As for actual updates specifically for PVP in recent memory we got destroyable milegates/bridges, Daedric Artifacts (Only the Hammer for now), Lancers, and additional outposts next to the three side keeps.PC NA - Ceyanna Ashton - Breton Vampire MagDK1 -
Armethius✭✭✭how about the stones add specific skill enhancements. this leaves the opportunity for hundreds of different stones. an example would be a Radial Elements stone makes Wall of Elements fire in a radius like Pulsar.

✭✭✭I pre-ordered the chapter, because they said new servers 😂
As an avid pvper I wanted to support the game due to their emphasis in not adding much. I want them to add less and fix more which is more or less what they sold us in the original announcement in January.4 -

I was more interested content wise.
I remember the announcement, but frankly they have been promising better performance for years and haven't delivered, and the game is as full of bugs as it can be.
Like I said in my op, I'll buy the chapter, but I'm still a bit down about not getting anything for pvp out of the chapter.
They couldve at least added a new BG map or something, anything really, I don't expect big new systems.1 -

I think without the initial changes made in harrowstorm last year, performance would be really good. They have improved a lot of things and have got rid a lot of bugs that were in the game previously, though probably created an equal amount through additional content and fixes 😂.
Most performance issues are latency/server based now... The reduction in content was sold as a focus on performance and is more believable than when they have spoken about it in previous years whilst adding additional moving parts.
I too would love a new BG map or anything tbh... I would happily spend all my time in cyrodill though if it worked all the time.0 -

✭✭People still PVP in this game lol?
Considering ESO was developed by some of the OG DAoC developers, and Cyrodiil was the selling highlight of the game when it first launched back in April 2014, and the reason most of us Vets switched to ESO from other MMORPG's...yes we still PVP. How else are we going to play against smart enemies not controlled by basic algorithms you can learn like dance moves lol?6 -
