Update 18 will come free as a base-game update with PC/Mac early access on May 21. This free update will arrive alongside The ESO's next Chapter, Summerset. Those who brave the open-world combat of the Alliance War or the fast-paced skirmishes of the Battlegrounds will find all-new rewards and improvements with Update 18. Check out this preview article for the latest scouting reports on what is coming to ESO's PvP!
A
new type of conflict is coming to Tamriel
in June. Soon, you and your companions will be able to take to the field in
Battlegrounds, a new fast-paced PvP
game mode exclusive to The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind.
Battlegrounds are very different from traditional Alliance War combat, so we've
outlined everything you'll need to know about PvP combat on the island of Vvardenfell below. Keep an eye out
for more information this month on the individual Battlegrounds as we march
towards ESO:Morrowind's release on June 6!
Join the Fight
Battlegrounds
are designed to be short, bloody affairs between three teams of four players
(4v4v4). Unlike PvP in Cyrodiil, teams in Battlegrounds are not bound by
Alliance, but are made up of players from any of the three factions. In Battlegrounds, you're not fighting for Queen
Ayrenn, High King Emeric, or Jorunn the Skald-King, but for the Pit Daemons
(Green), Fire Drakes (Orange), or Storm Lords (Purple). The glory and spoils
are yours for the taking!
Joining
a Battleground is a similar process to queuing for a dungeon. Simply navigate
to the Group & Activity Finder menu and select Battlegrounds. You can queue
solo or as a member of a party, and you are able to specify a desired level
range (10-49 or 10-50) with the game type randomly determined. Like the
Alliance War, you are able to join a Battleground as long as your character is
at least level 10, but you will also need to own a copy of ESO: Morrowind to
play (either via upgrade or the full game). When entering a Battleground your
character is battle levelled in the same way they are when entering Cyrodiil.

In
most MMO games PvP is just a separate part that does not affect the game itself.
But in Elder Scrolls Online it is implemented into
general game story as Alliance War. Three alliances are fighting between each
other and you are the member of one of them. Your impact into world PvP helps
your faction to win Alliance War and to control Imperial City. When your faction controls the Imperial City it is
possible to challenge Molag Bal and his armies.
There
are no Battlegrounds in ESO and
developers are not going to add them in future. All player vs. player fights take place in Cyrodiil only. On one hand,
that's not good, but on the other hand, such system allows to gather all PvP
fighters in one location.
Cyrodiil
Cyrodiil
is a huge province where all action of Alliance War takes place. Why Cyrodiil?
Because the Ruby Throne is situated here. The faction that controls the throne
rules in Tamriel.
Elder
Scrolls Online does not force you to fight against others and you will not have
to visit Ctrodiil in your quests. PvP is not an obligation and you can enjoy
PvE content in other provinces without necessity to protect yourself. Nobody
can attack you outside of Cyrodiil. There are no duels in the game and if you
wish to fight against other players you will have to go to the dedicated zone.
The
great thing about ESO is that Alliance War does not mean only fighting against
other players. There are many familiar towns where you will be able to take
different quests, there are public dungeons that you can visit, dark anchors
that you can destroy, Mages Guild’s books, resources for crafting, and
different places for exploration. You will meet a lot of NPCs who need your
help. Map
Long-time
fans of the Elder Scrolls series should instantly recognize the map, as PvP
actually takes place in Cyrodiil. The province is split up into three sections
for the three different Factions.
The map is quite large as it
encompasses all of Cyrodiil in one zone, unlike other parts of the Map, where
provinces are split into smaller zones. Travel around the map can be sped up
thanks to the Wayshrines which let you teleport to other shrines, so long as
your group has control of it and it is connected to the grid properly. Of
course mounts can also be used to speed up land travel across Cyrodiil.
