Vengeance was Great when Populated

PhxOldGamer68 · December 12

There were no DarkCon or Agony bombers, cross healing ball groups, Colossus ball groups, tower or keep runners. Just good old fighting with skill. Cyrodiil should be a huge Battleground with no choice of Alliances. Queue in and get placed equally to one of the three Alliances. No overpopulated Alliance taking everything off hours of the server.

Vengeance hasn't been populated since the first instance when there was an associated golden pursuit.

I think that at this point, the problem isn't Vengeance itself, but Cyrodiil, which hasn't changed one bit in 11 years, and the game's combat system, which doesn't reward good players (this has been the case for at least 5-6 years).

A large portion of the player base has simply had enough.

People played Vengeance 1 because ZoS asked them too. Practically begged them to contribute to their test

People lost interest because it’s a boring gamemode

I've been part of fun fights in every Vengeance test so far — even when Gray Host exists simultaneously. I believe that it just needs time to accumulate its own audience, separate from the audience that populates Gray Host.

Maybe if ZOS does more external marketing to advertise the different PvP experiences in ESO, more people will pick up the game to play some of them.

I agree that populated Veng is fun, but I disagree with forcing players into alliances that are not their own. Cyrodiil isn’t BGs, factions matter there.

Also, tower trolls are present in Veng as well, and we will certainly see some organized groups too at some point. But none of those are unkillable in Veng and that’s game changing.

Bars should be locked dynamically: if 1 faction has x players more than the second most populated faction, then their queue should lock until other factions reach similar numbers.

Vengeance is dead and thats great. Proves people dont want it. Let that please sack Zos and dont waste ressources on that anymore.

Who could have predicted this. As I said Zos if you want someone for ideas to save your game, I’m willing to take employment and help.

If ravenwatch and 50 n under campaigns aren’t populated, neither will Vengeance be populated. It’s an mmo, why would people sign up to have things they paid for stripped away from them?

The players who want “skill based PvP” aren’t gonna play a game that’s been unbalanced for over a decade, they’re going to BF6 or Marvel Rivals, Valorant, Arc Raiders, etc.

Stop trying to be those and fix your game please.
