Imperial City Dead?

[Kenswick]

2 days I have been playing Imperial City - First Time - and only seen 3 people total. What happened there? Looks great but it's so empty there.

Maybe different timezones? Idk.. DLC seems useless for me. I'm happy to just do pledge.

[UnionJack38]

Some people are afraid of doing any quests there, mainly due to high level players lurking waiting for easy kills, sometimes the quests in the Imperial City just aren't worth it.

[Bolt Milkrunner]

Was there with a friend. I thought nobody was there so i captured a point lol. 6 DC came running at us lol. I let my friend die there

[Kenswick]

It's wicked beautiful there, hope they do something with it. As of now - from what I've seen - it's going to waste.

So Imperial City is PVP all the time?
I have not been there yet.

I went in last few days, there are almost always a couple of high lv players blocking nooblets from doing any starter quests, gg. I switched to stronger toons to shift them, but whats the point. By the time ive done that, areas dead again cos the nooblets have quit.

♥♥♥♥ the community and bethesda for allowing it. If there was proof of why the game went f2p its those killing it from the inside.

They are literally stood in the way, waiting only going after low levels inside the city. This is why i cant get anyone to come back to this great game, the ♥♥♥♥ bags in it.

Its now a waste of a great area. Its only fun if you are at least on a chance Vs others, theres guys with year+ leveling in there, how do new ppl counter that? They cant. Well done One Tamriel.

Rant over, back to trying to get more newbies to try out the pvp content in vain.

[Kenswick]

How can they fix or update this to function where everyone enjoys it? It would be a freaking shame to let it just die.

Zenimax* Bethesda are being disapointing in fallout 4 not on ESO.

There are a few ways to do it, some more favourable than others.

One option would be to 'normalise' player stats whilst in the Imperial City, so everyone has the same ranks, HP, Stamina, Magicka and damage output for their class, so the only unique part about them would be their action bar loadout. This obviously wouldn't be a good fix as it'd defeat the purpose of the other 99% of the game. Gear grinding, skill grinding/morphing would all go to waste because of the fixed statistics, but then it would come down purely to skill or group composition, or whoever can zerg the most.

Second option would be to seperate the city into 4 quarters, low, medium-low, medium-high and high, and it would seperate players according to their stats/skills/gear etc., so you can only be in an area relevant to your characters strength, and attempting to move into a lower area would either kick you back into your area, kill your character or heavily debuff you so anyone could 1-shot you. Again, not a great method as it would thin out the players, but it would incite more fair play and ease newer players into PvP before the ganking begins.

Third option, the players themselves could work on getting rid of the gankers and protecting the newbies so that they can get a chance to get into PvP, guarding the city against such toxic players so that it can be there for people to have fun PvP, rather than one-sided steamrolling. This option would take a lot of work from the community itself to accomplish, but is the one most likely to solve the issue if enough players had the conviction to keep it up. It could also be considered the only 'true' option, since Elder Scrolls games are all about open sandbox where you make your own adventures, and having players retaking the city from the evil tyranny of a bunch of other players fits right in with that.

We was talking to our Guild Master and we thinking about setting up guild events there now. Everyone was saying that we should in chat. Let's see.

[D.Sofren]

You guys realize there's campaigns for people under level 50, right?

[UnionJack38]

Aye there are non-vet campaigns, but there is always either a group of semi high level faction players, or some ass-hat running the area for Key Fragments and killing everyone in sight.
