I wonder whats the point of Cyrodiil? Except zerg pvp.
They said top craft reagents will be available in Cyrodiil only. But for now there is only ~50 lvl stuff.
There are some daily quest but whats the point? They was popular on beta since there was nothing to do after you finished 1s location but now whats the point of dailies?
There are also public dungeons but people only have a reason to go there once - skyshard and MAYBE to kill bosses and complete dungeon and thats all.
For now Cyrodiil for me is like a huge and empty BG and nothing more. I thought it will be a real pvp/pve zone with a plenty of things to do in but after completing all the dungeons and collecting all the skyshards there is nothing left to do there. I don't like zerg-pvp I prefer random kills on quests, resources, in dungeons.

    Maybe you're mis-reading the tea-leaves .. maybe the zone is dead because there's little interest in PVP in this game, things like Skyshards are of course character progression, once that's done seems the lesson here is that PVP has no real part of the game.

    Cyrodiil is about PVP and there's always PvP for those who are actively looking for it. Unless you are on one of the unpopulated campaigns of course in which case it's just a very big and quite empty PvE zone.

    For the EU campaigns, I only see three fill up in EU prime time and those are the top three on the list.

    The rest range from medium to completely empty.

    I tried to level an alt in PvP but the XP is absolutely terrible. I managed to get to level 18 (including quests in Cyrodiil) and get my PvP rank to 9. I gave up, it was just so slow and painful.

    Yes you're absolutely right. Makes you wonder why the hell they made a terrible MMO, as opposed to TES VI which would have been amazing.

    I sure hope you misread or misinterpreted that because I hate PVP and have zero interest in travelling to Cyrodiil beyond perhaps picking up some sky shards, and that's only if I need them.

    In my opinion it's impossible to mix PVP and RPG with good results. It seems to me that it almost always comes down to who has better gear, more people by their side, and the most OP ability. Rarely does it come down to skill and strategy, unless you count having better gear as skill and having more friends with you than the other guy has with them as strategy.

    ESO was developed by ZeniMax Online so will have no impact on the TES series which is developed by Bethesda.

    so you stay away from the full campaigns but then complain that its empty and devoid of life? also you said you dont enjoy the pvp but rather the pve components in cyrod. What is it do you expect us to say to that?

    try a full campaign, believe me they are much more lively even staying away from zerg fests. Try your pve challenges there and then you will have your small pvp party fun as gank squads will find you but then again you said you didnt like pvp... .. nvm. that is why there is a huuuuuggggge map outside of cyrod to enjoy, ya know.. for pve

    People is leveling, it is not possible to level in Cyrodiil, Cyrodiil is empty.

    But you have a point: public dungeons are a joke (mobs are level 50 and i oneshot them at VR6), and resources are useless (wtf im gonna do with ebony?).

    While this is true, the content should be higher level or scale or... i dunno but it feels lame to run lvl 50 quests with a veteran level character.
    I can kill most mobs by looking at them.

    The quests are the most boring fetch/delivery type quests too. The "dungeons" are the same generic hallways as the rest of the game. Such low effort. I think people read about a feature and have this fantasy in their mind, but in reality the pve content in Cyro is abysmal.

    Yeah im taking the fetch quests as an opportunity to hunt players that are running the same quests, and being greedy i appreciate the 300gold reward.
    Again the PvE part of Cyrodiil isnt bad per se (in fact i like it) but needs a bit of tuning, maybe in a few months when everyone will be at a higher level.

    I recommend if you think Cryodiil is empty wait until peak hours and join in on large large pvp.

    There has been no effort from any staff to communicate anything in regards to Cyradiil.
    The only thing we find is in the patch notes, and so far those have not been received well.

    I have had friends quit the game over the lack of communication and PVP interest from the staff, it just seems like they don't care about it, well maybe in the smallest of margins.

    People still have long loading screens and crash's and no fixes for it.
    Not sure how many crash reports i'v sent.

    Towers give very little exp for people to level off.
    The EXP from kills is distributed horribly in groups.
    The only thing you can find about leveling in PVP is a Q&A that says basically nothing, other than "if no people then no exp" but the EXP is so very minor that it makes no difference.
    Unless you go out and try to solo fight, and little gank squads, which could all be nerfed come the aoe patch nerf, where zergs will win and the biggest populated faction is king.

    Cyradiil needs some TLC, everyone seems to be involved, but they find it very lackluster in character development and activity, what with dealing with the boring quests that give crap for exp, and the PVE pubs for that one time skyshard and boss kill that gives.. LEVEL 50 ITEMS.

    The patch notes said they would be raising the NPC level's and loot, but then the low level people will struggle as they hide behind that fail buff that you get for being below level 50.

    As far as i understand, Cyrodil will be scaled up to VR5 in the next patch. Everything is currently set to Level 50.

    This means all guards and pve content will be increased to VR5 (im sure this will get scaled up again to VR10 as soon as more players level up).

    That being said, im not sure how/if this change would affect the loot tables in pve delves within cyrodil.

    Hopefully they create a Darkness Falls style dungeon in the middle. Seems that this is on the table, as there are three access points to the city currently guarded/inaccessible.

    This describes me; I have a lvl 27 character and I've tried the PvP in Cyrodiil and loved it, but I want to level higher so I have a more developed character when I commit.

    People aren't PvPing because only a very small percentage of players having gotten 50 and VR5+.

    I know I won't bother with PvP again until either:

    A ) The rewards are increased DRAMATICALLY,

    B ) I hit level 50 VR5+.

    When I say "empty" I mean it literally empty. We have 5 towns with quests, a bunch of dungeons and the whole empty map without any mobs or something.

    There are 4 campaigns on EU that fill up (padlock) daily, then we have another which has 1 faction padlock other two medium. The rest are pretty much dead.

    Personally i only go to Cyrodiil for the PvP. Yet i wouldn't mind seeing more dungeons,quests and mobs added to the land in Cyrodiil.
