    Sounds like Archage...they have Naval pvp. Eso is uniquely eso and I dont think naval pvp would suit this game.

    So it could be awesome if they did a whole new naval campaign instance, even when the bulk of the war takes place in Cyrodiil we already have examples of attacking the enemy factions directly into their provinces. A naval effort from the pact for example could be placed somewhere in Skyrim and Shadowfen, one to repel DC and one to repel the AD. Each faction can have up to 5 Galleons and have pre allocated tactical points to take over including the ports. A naval ranking system up to and including Imperial Navy Admiral.

    At this point seeing ZOS make an attempt at adding new pvp content would be refreshing

    Voted no because honestly I think there's enough naval PvP games out there and we really don't need it in ESO. Just my 2 cents.

    I'm not a fan of vehicle combat that isn't the halo 1 warthog.

    I might enjoy pvp with a pirate/seafarer theme though.

    Sounds good! Here are my views on how should it be:
    Sure, it will be awsome.. but as said already.. physics engine of this game.... preventing for many cool things that game could have....

    But all in all, do not get me wrong please, this game is very populated.. but i think the next expansions this year are important if population will decrease slow or fast... Its the part of every MMO, after xx years this starting to happen..

    OP, you will find that many on these forums have an aversion to creative new ideas. I would love to have something like this, I absolutely adored black flag, I know it couldnt be as in depth as that, but some naval decks for battlegrounds could be nice.

    I prefer the current modes to perform better, before breaking them again while introducing something new...No, thanks.

    Have you pvp'ed in this game recently lol. Adding boats to complete dysfunction seems like actually a brilliant idea, WHY NOT I GUESS

    Don't switch on an idiot there. Where have I written that I want the ZOS to make it now without fixing current glitches? Some of you really surprise me guys. A simple question but you discuss whatever else but not the ideas of an actual gameplay. Quarreling with other because of some side emotions. The question was if we want naval PvP mode! This has never been intended to discuss any technical troubles of making it because we are players, not the devs. Moreover, you really think I voted to have that mode now or in a half a year? It might take the ZOS years to make it if they ever decide to. Stick to the question before answering it, if you do not understand - pass by. Don't start quarrels here. Please. Brainboxes..

    They obviously have their hands full man, it's like saying we should rid the world of suffering and disease plus BOATS FOR ALL cause why not dream big, it's not a bad idea I mean there is boats in the game and there is PVP sure the boats are just waypoints and the PVP is broken but the solution may actually be in combining the two. I think a pirate skill line would be so cool with this and have epic raids where on top of a tank heals and dps you need a expert seaman to navigate storms... and industrial scale fishing, whale watching..PVPwould consist of people lobbing magwardens at eachother lol

    So many men, so many minds. It's fine. I was only surprised to read so many players have that aversion because of the game's current state, as if they know it will never change to the better for sure. They might be right as well as wrong - future is so uncertain. Thanks for a kind word, FM! Ok, I'll try to let those guys understand me better.. I wanted to play the mode I proposed generally, but of course, no sooner the devs fix the current troubles the majority of the players meet. That was so obvious to me I haven't even deemed it necessary to focus so thoroughly on it. And personally if I ever see the game is unplayable, I see no necessity to discuss it neither with the devs nor with the players even if those glitches, lags and crashes ever occur.

    I'm just a customer who does not have to understand what it takes to make a product as well as my customers IRL need qualitative results only. I give an idea of what I want to pay for, the devs are to think about it, to decide if they are ready to make it, to test its stability and usability and tell me the price. If the product does not meet my requirements, becomes unstable, whatever unsuitable, I just stop investing in it and using it without any feedback. There is no socialism here and it's not freeware to participate in it's development in order to use the fruits of communal labor. No honey - no money. I just play the rules. What I do is only saying what taste of honey I want and it is irrelevant to me if the beekeeper has some troubles making it - there's a beekeeper to take that challenge. If he makes it - good. Otherwise I'll continue buying the honey he's been producing (if it suits me) without any additional investment he could receive. The quality of the basic honey itself is my own business with the beekeeper only, but I'd like to discuss it's possible tastes with other honey eaters. If the majority wants to eat classical honey, I'll be with them of course, because I pay for it too. The beekeeper also will not waste his time to make an unwanted product. Otherwise he'll see if he can take the challenge and earn extra money. It's simple. This is why I see no reason to discuss and quarrel here with any of the fellow players regarding the game stability. I gave an idea - you vote. Well, this is my personal approach I do not urge anyone to follow. I only thank you for voting and I appreciate your opinions. Have a great day.

    I, personally, don't need this in the game.
    There are plenty of naval games that can rub this itch, much better than ESO, simply because they were made with naval combat in mind.
    So no, I'm quite content staying on land.

    Bro it can't even handle DOOR physics lol, Naval combat meanwhile you cannot use a gate or door in Cyrodil when you life depends on it, I presented the idea of boats there yesterday the response was

    "IS a boat not just a door in water?" "damn we all gonna drown .__."

    I'd be all for it. If it meant that PvP broke off and become a separate game with no effect on raiding and other PVE activities.
