    I actually liked the Imperial City storyline.
    It was just painful to dodge all the PvP to get to your objectives.

    I feel your pain. I often take screenshots for the wiki, and I hate it when I spend a lot of time lining up a perfect pic of a boss just to have other players run in and kill it. I've even had players get mad at me for not helping fight when, little do they know, I didn't want that boss dead and they ruined my shot! I know they don't know what I'm doing, but waiting for respawns can feel like an eternity.

    When I used to play ESO, I always aced in Battlegrounds winning roughly 75% of all matches and acing on the scoreboard. It was only when I joined Cyrodiil and The Imperial City that I truly understood the pain of PvP.

  • @badluck5647
    @badluck5647 Год назад +25

    I hope the High Isles peace talks result in Cyrodiil turning from PvP to a PvE zone. Maybe they can do a zone redesign like World of Warcraft: Cataclysm.

    I like to think that in a few hundred years, when Tiber goes to light the Dragonfires back up again, he meets the Drake of Blades, who is part of the Dragonguard, and, inspired by her name, revives the ancient organization, calling it the Blades.

    Been there as well many years ago.
    Some pvp players just don't get the hint of questers to leave them alone. And the IC NPC enemies are tougher than the average zone ones.
    But the story line felt good and with all the challenges it is a true achievement to get done.

    This zone story was a pain to get through, so much so that I have never done it again on any of my alts. It took weeks just to get half the story done because everytime you were almost done with a story objective, someone from the other two factions would without fail pass by, spot you and kill you, disregarding the fact that you were just trying to complete the quest and posed no threat to them, forcing you to do it over, and over and over again, sometimes without success. There were times I literally had to log out, and play on other character for a few hours, and then return to my main in the hopes that I could complete the quest. Guess what happened?
    What I wouldn't give to have a PvE story zone version of Cyrodiil. The zone is huge, and beautiful, and I would love to traverse it through story content, like the other zones.

A 1 piece slimecraw, sergeants on body with a sergeant's lightning staff, fill the rest up with deadly strike and obviously the oakensoul ring, upside is you can slap it on any charachter and deal with mobs and bosses with eaaaseee, only downside is really experienced players know how to deal with heavy attack builds, but even they will struggle if you position youre opponent between mobs

  • @juliebeans7323
    @juliebeans7323 Год назад +3

    I've not done that questline - for the exact reason you describe....there are several players who hide at any/all quest markers and one shot you. I am sick of trying. I don't PVP. And why attack a lone player clearly doing quests? In your case clearly not for telvars....i mean they are not hurting anyone.

  • @Taikomo
    @Taikomo Год назад +3

    Some people just are douchy enough to deride pleasure from being an annoyance to others. And if this guy was waiting for you at the quest objectives then it's pretty obvious he got his kicks from being a douche to you and probably many other questers before you.
    But I do think it's a pretty stupid idea in the first place to put story quests in a PvP zone, that combination will never go smoothly.

    But that's quite weird if I may say so. "The Soulburst" is essentially another Oblivion Crisis. I think that's weird. Why calling it "the Oblivion Crisis" :y it should be the "Third Oblivion Crisis" since there was Molag Bal and Mehrunes Dagon before, sending their minions through portals to Mundus.

    • @Timoshemperoni
      @Timoshemperoni 11 месяцев назад

      Because oblivion is the name of Dagon's realm of oblivion. The planes of Oblivion, so it was the oblivion crisis. And the soul burst gets it's name from the fact that Manimarco is taking people's souls to sacrifice to Molag Bal. I suppose it's just them being specific.

      In Universe this time was The Interregnum which was largely lost to history, something mentioned as far back as Daggerfall, aside from that ESO is also a Online prequel spinoff set before all the games and came way after all the other stuff released for the series thus far.

    Tel var stones are extremely valuable (5k tel var~80k gold) so some people like to get them from other players (wich is precisely what makes them so valuable).A lot of players kill everyone in sight in the hope of getting tel var so, most of the time,it's not personal.I'm mostly trying to justify what I did during Whitestrake's mayhem but pvp players shouldn't have to stop killing players in one of the two zones dedicated to them (btw, if you need to go back there, you can go to a different campaign if someone is spawnkilling you)

      PVP Wise it really is when trying to get things done, for the longest time I avoided IC until I finally got it done, PVE is naturally gonna be more enjoyable and even then you either like the gameplay or don’t. I don’t blame you for not wanting to, I think it’s great Imperial Knowledge makes these lore vids for those who are not wanting to necessarily play ESO but is interested in the lore and those who play ESO wanting to recap what they experienced.
