Xbox EU PVP is dead?!

Xbox EU PvP is definitely BACK in Scourge!

Absolutely loving it again!

@Eldruf Sound, cheers mate. I'll double check my guild list tonight and make sure there's space

The biggest issue is when 1 side caps the entire map then goes into gate camp mode. Since 2 weeks EP has been doing this on Azura / EU / PC, which causes people to leave, since it's no fun for anyone.

When you can't leave your gate or even retake the first keep, without getting roflstomped on, it's not really fun to play. Or when 5-6 people keep breaking all the teleport locations, just to be a nuissance.

Scrolls also have little impact... many times you have 2 pop locked sides fighting against the underdog, while the underdog has 1-2 bars, no scrolls and no keeps to port to.

And then there's the night crews that turn a campaign entirely 1 color each and every night. PvE'ing keeps since nobody is around.

Part of the issue is with the circular map layout of Cyrodiil imho... and maybe keeps/resources shouldn't all upgrade to level 5 if you have the entire map under control. Or put some stronger guards in the closest home keeps.

My vote, was for incremental population caps to balance out the alliances.

Everyone complaining about the blue zergs yet I remember when the game came out and for months and months the yellows and reds zerged DC always finished last in the campaign but we kept on fighting no moaning then the blues got organised and for 5 campaigns have won the campaign .
Yes zergs make the server laggy but it was the other factions that showed us the way to win. But isn't that what the game was advertised to do big scale fights?Anyway rant over

You didn't get organized. Everyone left and now you are the zerg.

Yup I play EP on this server and am close to all the top EP PVP groups none of which actually bother with PVP at the minute due to the DC zerg and the 500 member 'The Kings Legion' guild which literally changes it's message of the day to a location at up rolls the entire DC population. Azuras is broken you'd be stupid to try and play it competitively when it's capped the lags literally unplayable.

Hoping that next patch channels out the populations into different campaigns.

I have to correct you there, Kings Legion has 500 men but when their zerg gets whiped they go to Kings Legion 2 which also has 500 members and they get them in pvp.

I used to be in Kings Legion before i switched to AD and sometimes i even had the crown of the zerg. I was instructed by the guildleader to go through the whole roster and invite everyone to the pvp group when it wasnt totally filled up. Having two 24 groups active wasnt really special either.

After a while i got extremly bored by crit rushing everyone just to get a hit. My former zerg friends still seem to enjoy it though.

i have to correct you there. He is definitely not checked Scourge before lol.

PVP has been relatively good the last few nights.

Very disappointed in the number of clueless and dreadfully awful Magicka Nightblades running around in a desperate attempt to achieve a big amount of kills because they watched a few of Syphers videos. Staggering how many people have rolled an alt for this patch of have gone from stam to magicka and also very dumb. I could night find anyway in hell how I'd get enjoyment out of that at all, it's complete and utter cheese.

Also all these 'good players' that only tend to play the strongest class during anyone particular patch. So I'm not playing my Nigthblade most probably this patch or at least during this huge hype that seems to be going about and certainly won't be 5 running 5 Alchemist and 5 vicious death when I do.. embarrassing.

/rant

Same here.

I've been playing like that for a while (minus vicious death) and would kill one or two, then dodge, cloak or teleport to safety.

If I did it now, I'll just look like a failed FOTM.

Magica templar and stamplar is what I'm playing a lot of so far this patch. Enjoying both a lot.
