Cyrodiil, this is the PvP area in The Elder Scrolls Online, where player-led alliances (Daggerfall Covenant, Aldmeri Dominion, and Ebonheart Pact) fight for dominance over Tamriel. It’s about power, valuable rewards, and the coveted Imperial Crown.
In this gameplay video, I will show you my first experiences on this map, which is truly gigantic! You can expect atmospheric impressions, heated skirmishes, and impressive mass battles – sometimes more successful, sometimes less so.
Between Low Tide and High Tide
The pace here is quite different from arenas or battlegrounds, for example. Battles need to be prepared or opponents sought out, but when it comes to the fight, which by the way can take quite a while, the excitement begins.
Will we manage to capture this incredibly well-defended castle? Can we survive as a small group, say of 5 people, against the 7 hostile players and take the warehouse? You will have to ask yourselves such questions, but there are also downtime phases in between, which not everyone will handle well.
First Interim Conclusion: At first, I felt a bit abandoned, like Tom Hanks in Cast Away, but after a while, I found joy in the system. Because when I joined larger groups of players, I too got hooked on the PvP in TESO. One should not always expect that when joining a campaign, it will immediately lead to intense player-versus-player encounters.
P.S. At some points, unfortunately, the recording stutters a bit (won’t happen next time!) and it is of course not a livestream, as I claim in the first scene (the lady distracted me :P).
