I have had some awesome sessions in Cyrodill over the last few months, joining random groups to attack and defend, I have also left some groups that just want to play hide and seek in the long grass, but as of last night, EP were dominating the map and they did it well, mass groups of warriors determined to ride over anything in their way.
I joined a group of about 19 players, we were defending Fort Warden, most of us were on the keep wall, lobbing whatever we could find at the attacking hord, but our numbers where just not great enough, they penetrated our outer wall, I ran to the inner keep only to see my group running out of rear of the stronghold and riding away???? only a small handful of gamers were left defending our keep.
We lost the keep and I was forced to respawn at our starting point, I could see my group hovering about at the scroll temple of Ni-Mohk, so I rode out and joined them there, within a few minutes of joining them our temple came under attack, the red flag buggers were after our scroll! a few of us started to battle with the horde, I fell to an arrow in the knee and had a look about to see if I was in anyway revivable, but guess what, the group had again run off into the distance away from the battle????

If your not going to fight, what's the point in grouping up in Cyrodill? or even entering the place, your only filling up spaces that could be used by people who actually want to play PVP! the only other thing that got me was I had to cue to join as the server was full yet after spending over 2 hours trying to find groups who would help me attack and defend I only came across small groups who either ran away or as soon as they got to the sewer entrance they left the group????

I am ashamed to be a member of the DC...... well done to the EP who fought with strength and honour!

The DC do that, I have noticed each alliance seems to do something better then the other 2

- DC are the Zerg Masters but 1 on 1, most people on DC can't fight at all but those that know how to fight must be avoided at all costs as they will usually win most 1 on 1 encounters, they have the weak are useless and are more useful when they are not clogging up the campaign and the strong are unbeatable and can take several players at once mentality thing going on.

- AD lacks coordination but are masters of the Ganking manoeuvre and many appear to be very sneaky they will usually try to attack the keeps you will least expect, they also seemingly have the number's advantage.

- EP seems to be quite powerful 1 on 1, they are somewhat good gankers and good at keep defending but most don't bother with it because the majority are just too lazy to do anything.

every faction has people like me that are horrible at the game and can't 1v1 for the life of them, and others that cant do well in groups; it is not faction specific. Heck you should have seen AD in wabbajack. they were the OPPOSITE of sneaky; their zerg blobs were as long in width as a keep

As long as you stand by your comment that it takes as much skill to run in a 24 man group as it does in a 4 man group your opinion is invalid.

+ your EP and I think 80% of the time I've seen you it's been in a Zerg.

shots fired:D Let me grab the popcorn

DC are cowards!!!!!

Please specify what DC you are talking about exactly. PC? PS4? Xbone? What??????? Making broad sweeping statements like you have is BS!

If you read my signature it will tell you what platform and server I use, come on it's not rocket science

I read these forums on my cell phone so I can't see signatures. Doesn't matter though, if you feel ashamed to be DC why not use that rocket science of yours and go to EP? Sounds like what this post is really about

Part of being a good player is knowing when to retreat. The game is mostly a numbers game at this point. Most people don't care about winning the campaign because it doesn't really matter, you get nothing for it. Additionally, zerging together to try to win a campaign results in lag. Most skilled PvPer's just prefer to play for good fights, rather than trying to play a powerpoint.

Well some people actually like to face skilled opponents and have fun battles not like to have to fight 60 EP to their group if 24.Also When EP no longer have to outnumber Players 3-1 to actually kill someone. only faction that should be ashamed is EP.

Yeah, yeah, keep pretending there's any difference between the way factions play.

24v24 is no different than 4v4, apart from the game's performance. It still comes down to skill.

And yeah, all I ever do is play in zergs because my dual-core Celeron from 2009 really loves to run ESO while I play in big groups and 3fps. I totally do not play solo or small scale most of the time because that actually lets me play ESO at a semi-decent framerate.

Keep pretending!

So spamming steel tornado, purge and heals is the same as a 4v4 fight? Your seriously kidding yourself on here.

Almost all the time I've seen you it's been in a Zerg but I'll do my best to screenshot it for ya the same as when I found you exploiting on top of chalman milegate after you spent months calling dc a disgrace for using that too.

Continue being a hypocrite if you like but I'll always to be here to remind you of it!

Dave,

Don't leave DC because of this. We need people on our alliance such as you. Yes it does suck things like this happens, but that is a normal day for me. I used to cus and scream in chat ( I know I was wrong for that ) but that only made things worse.

One thing I would suggest is maybe becoming a leader, the more you play ( on DC side please ) the more people you will find that have your play style. I would definitely play in your group.

Again the stupidity of outnumbered.......in a campaign, the number of players allowed for each alliance is THE SAME but if the 3 population bars....2 are looking for mushrooms....is not problem of EP

And yes, AD and DC only takes keeps in groups of 20 guys....yes, of course hahahaha i don't know how many times, we kick out groups of 50-60 AD or DC of inside of Arrius Keep.... being totally outnumbered .....but only EP plays in groups of 60 guys..... of course.....

The difference between EP and others, is that a huge group of EP.... are unstoppable....the others....simply not....and looks like this gives some envy, if you look in some comments....

If no likes have battles against 60 guys, why all right side of the map are under attack all the time? for habits? then why this part are under blue or yellow control, the attacks stops until EP begins to recover the territory? why the fights between AD and DC are minimal?

Being part of a alliance who force to the other two alliances to play together, is very far of a thing to be ashamed....

Those poor EU players...

Dave,

You can shout at me all you want, if that means getting things done and being apart of a group that is organised and effective, most of the groups I have joined lately just don't seem to know what they want to do or achieve, some run out of the keep alone instead of waiting for the group to assemble, safer to run in a pack than run alone, you never know where the pesky zergs are hiding there was a group of EP who decided to camp outside of our keep and takedown anyone who came out alone, sad but I even caught a small group of DC doing the same thing.
Its also a good idea to give the keep you just attacked or defended a quick once over, not just to check on the wall or door conditions but to see if anyone is hiding in there, yesterday we lost a keep from within to the EP just because of this.
If you see a wall that is damaged, repair it, I have seen keeps fall easily because everyone was too busy riding off to the next keep instead of taking time to repair the one you just captured or defended, it doesn't take long if everyone helps out.
When attacking a keep, send your main group there first, start the attack, then send out a smaller group to capture the resources, if you capture the resources first, this informs the enemy of your intentions and gives them time to prepare for your attack on their keep, they knew you were coming, if you attack the main keep first, it stops them teleporting there. smaller zerg groups could also benefit by this, I hate zergs but they can also be useful, if they know another group is attacking a keep, go camp on the backside of that keep and attack any enemy riding in to support their fellow faction members, the less support that makes it to the keep, the better it is for the attacking team to bring the enemy to their knees.
Its also a good idea to set up some spotters in your group, have them hide away from the main group and inform you if they see the enemy coming, how many times have you been stabbed in the back because you were too hell bent on bringing the walls down and didn't see the group approaching from behind.
If you don't have any siege weapons, you can still help out instead of running around like a headless chicken waiting for the wall to fall, if you have the ability pop a siege shield to help protect your faction mate who does, if you don't have this ability, just buddy up with someone and protect them from a sly attack from behind.

Group up don't be shy, if you have a small group but you see a bigger group asking for people to join, disband yours if you only have three or so members and join them, force in numbers can make the task easier, just the way EP does it. Remember, death is but a doorway to the next spawn

I love how all the defense and trash talk comes out from PC players when the OP's signature clearly states EU PS4 Megaserver.
