The Elder Scrolls Online has a new dev blog out this week all about the game’s
planned Morrowind PvP additions. Thanks to
our discussion with Lead Designer Brian Wheeler a few weeks ago, we already knew that the star of the new provincial PvP will be the short 4v4v4 arena battles that abandon factional and racial loyalties for the sake of pure bloodsport. Players will be working through capture-the-flag, deathmatch, and domination modes in exchange for a spot on the leaderboards, alliance points, experience points, loot, and medals based on what you did during the match — and yes, the game scores things like healing, soaking damage, and defending flags, so maybe it won’t even be a total clusterfudge!
Meanwhile, if your talents are more of the decorating sort, you should probably take a peek at the ZeniMax’s new home contest: You’ve got until the end of March to submit screens of your house according to the categories, which include one for PvP, hoarding, party pads, and “fantastical constructs.” Grand prize winners will walk away with a ton of prizes — even an Earthtear Cavern of their very own.
Want more Elder Scrolls? Yesterday, our ESO columnist Larry speculated on the underlying storyline of Morrowind, and MJ will be streaming the game at 3 p.m. EST today. Just want to distract me? Tweet me asking for my top five Skyrim mods like Serrenity did last night. Pure evil.
