Currently, in the fantasy MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online , the Imperial City is open to everyone. But this may not remain the case.
Recently, we wondered in an article: What happened to the idea that you have to belong to the dominant empire in Cyrodiil to access the Imperial City?
During the stream show ESO Live 25 from mid-September, which has just been released, the answer emerged: Zenimax opened the Imperial City in all campaigns in The Elder Scrolls Online at the beginning because it is the new hot thing and everyone wants to try it out (at least everyone who bought the DLC). However, this may not remain the case.
They want to evaluate the statistics in the coming months and pay attention to feedback. Then, they will decide how many campaigns will continue to function as they currently do with access to the Imperial City.
And Zenimax will determine in which campaigns in TESO a special mode will be introduced, where the control over the “home keeps” will decide who can access the Imperial City and who cannot. This is called “gated access.” This is a topic that, like many others, is still up in the air and they do not want to commit to it just yet.
Long Queues, Loading Screens, Performance Issues
A selection of other topics from ESO Live 25
- Numerous fans’ issues continue to revolve around performance. In particular, long loading screens before Cyrodiil are noticeable to PC players. Since the Imperial City has been introduced, they have indeed become longer. One has to listen to numerous complaints and jokes about it in The Elder Scrolls Online. Technicians are on it.
- Some of the performance issues plaguing players could be due to outdated add-ons. Players should empty the add-on folder and see if it improves afterwards.
- Queues on PC before entering PvP have become longer due to the increased number of players that can join a campaign. Currently, there are no plans to open more campaigns on PC. They want to wait and see for now.
- An catch-up system for Champion Points is planned, allowing players with fewer Champion Points to earn points more quickly. This is something that is planned for the future. More details will be released then.
