- larger battlegrounds that will be called something else, maybe 12v12v12 for a total of 36 players

What I also would love to see would be the PvP Justice System, but I think that’s way too complicated to implement to be a thing. So… what do you think we‘re getting in Q4?

Sorry to crush your dreams, but the devs said some time ago that they will NEVER EVER implement a PvP Justice System, because there would be way too many ways to abuse the system. Also 12v12v12 groups for Battlegrounds are more than unlikely, because of two reasons. The first one being that 36 players would stress out the BG server-instances so much that it would be nothing more than a lag-rubber-banding show and the second reason being, that there are not enough players to fill up a 12v12v12 BG.

To give an answer to your question.

I think it may be some QoL improvements like solving the *stuck in combat bug* or destructible resource towers (to stop the stupid Res-Tower-AP-Farm) or perhaps new sieges you can use against Ball-Groups (some which instantly will kill those groups !!!) or it also could be a revamp of the emp-system (in a way that will allow more people to get emp and not the same 10-20 players over and over again).

Another possibility I just thought of could be an overhaul regarding the skill-system, so that we will have pve-only and pvp-only skills in the future. But I do think this would be too much work, way to complicated and would screw up a lot of things .


Ps.: Just for fun. I great thing would be reducing PvP to a state where player chars walk around in their underwear and can only use stones and sticks with 1 DPS each !

Mentioned this in another thread, here's what I hope:

• something between battlegrounds and Cyrodiil
• 12v12 (please no 12v12v12), separate queue for solo and premades
• each side has one keep, maybe 1-3 central outposts/resources to provide buffs when captured
• siege (obviously)
• no mounting, short travel distances (in combat bug less of an issue)
• maybe groups of guards spawning at the home keep and travelling to the other keep, fighting along the way
• first team to capture the enemy keep wins

This would allow organized groups to really shine, knowing they'll face a similar opponent (unlike the zerglings they currently farm in cyro). The server load this generates would be much more predictable than what happens now in Cyrodiil. Performance in cyro might even improve if organized groups prefer this new game mode. And the separate queues would still leave this accessible for solo pvp players.

Unfortunately it won't be QOL improvements. It was stated in a live stream that we are getting an entirely new system that has nothing to do with Cyrodiil, BG, or IC.

I'm personally hoping for a teamless battle royale mode. I'm going to guess that the new PVP mode may have something to do with the other new system we're getting- scribing

Infinite Archive but for PvP. They can reuse the same tech and swap out the maps and monsters for players. Maybe a Gold Road themed Colovian Gladiator "Infinite Arena" where you get matched up with 1-2 players at a time and fight it out.

Leaderboard, MMR, PvP rewards, etc

If I were a betting man, I'd put my money on Ranked Duelling.

We got the Leaderboards for Tribute, it seems only natural that an actual combat 1v1 PvP piece of content would also get a similar system. Plus, it wouldn't be much to add as Duelling is already in the game, but allowing people to queue for it (and getting duellers away from populated wayshrines) would be welcome for a lot of people.

They do need to very carefully thread the needle for any PvP content though. The PvP community has been neglected for far too long, but ZOS seems to know that there's about a 0% chance that they'll convert their casual players to PvPers no matter what they do. That means that any new PvP content would have to pull its players from 1) other games (which seems unlikely to happen), or 2) the current PvP playerbase. And spreading the current PvP playerbase much thinner will make the already untenable BG queues and empty Cyro maps even worse than they are. But if the new shiny thing just takes two people out at a time for a quick match (or a best-2-out-of-3 contest), that wouldn't have much affect on the current PvP systems.

Companion dueling

Hoping for an huge IC rework, or a new PVP zone with smaller group caps.

I'm expecting it'll be some sort of custom BG/arena thing or an expansion to dueling, though.

5v5 payload delivery

I have no idea but I would just like the stuck in combat bug fixed, Cyro lag & perfomance fixes, the sewers having more Tel Var, Tel Var motifs being cheaper, 2 team battlegrounds, and skill based MMR. As well as the getting stuck in a floor/wall in BGs.

Look at the new dungeons, and the secret bosses in Oathsworn where you have to do MOBA style stuff...my guess is they'll do something like that. You have to battle another team and manage little minions at the same time. They probably experimented with it in Oathsworn, they tend to reuse stuff after all.

This sounds absolutely terrible.

They said PvP but not Cyrodiil, so I'm guess an expansion deck for Tales of Tribute.

Well, the 2 new companions are releasing along with the new pvp feature...so maybe companion dueling? 😅 If not that, then maybe a 2 v 2 mode or pvp arena with proper leaderboards.
