I wish you could queue again. It was always nice Pvping in IC while waiting 😔

Was that change rly necessary?

    I could queue in Cyrodiil. Don't see why I can't queue in Imperial City.

    Also, it would be nice not to get kicked out of the campaign once you finish the Battleground. I would understand if the campaign was full and somebody took my spot, but if the campaign is almost empty, why do I need to rejoin Cyrodiil? Just let me continue from where I left off before the Battleground popped.

    Because of Tel Var stones and people queue out to save them and avoid fighting.

    Is it really that hard to rejoin?

    Except the system has a glaring flaw, introduced in the same patch as blocking queuing out. You are blocked from queueing to non-IC instances, not other-IC instances.

    Tel Var stones is a valid objection to be honest.

    As for Cyrodiil. It's kind of annoying to have to traverse the entire map all over again just to be back to where you were before the queue.

    Its one of the reasons IC is dead now. What's more important, you having more Tel Var, or everyone having more people to play with in IC?

    You just have to queue before you start collecting Tel Var is all and then join BG when it pops.

    IC has been dead for a decade.

    IC has been "mostly dead" for about as long as I've been playing ESO, which is since about the middle of 2017. To be sure, it can be very lively during PvP events, but outside of PvP events I usually see only a few other players there whenever I go.

    As for queuing, we can join a queue out of IC as long as we have less than 100 Tel Var Stones, and we can accept the queue when it "pops" even if we have more than 99 Tel Var Stones at that time. I just tested that to confirm that it's still true.

    You can. Queue for the BG before you go to IC, or before you have 100 TelVar on you. You can accept the queue when it pops without restriction.

    You are now. They fixed that issue.

    With how much Tel Var I got from farming Craglorn portals, I don't even care about IC anymore. I got a nice backup of Fortunes as well. *shrug*

    Peanuts bro. 1 round no cp IC 100k+ .
    That's where the no lifers farm. They even sell that for real money or buy alkahest and poison satchels to craft poisons and sell it to the merchant.

    That's where ZoS should do sth. The cronus zen bots that troll and endure there until they can farm forever.

    That's very uncomfortable. I would prefer freely queueing even if I lost half of my telvar when accepting.
