Not getting credit for taking keeps, scrolls etc

reggielee · April 2014

Can someone explain why I am not getting credit for taking keeps, farms, mills and even a scroll even though I participated in a full raid? there were multiple raids in the zerg... was that it, one raid got the credit and the other didnt? I did receive credit for some but not for the really hard ones like some keeps deep within enemy territory. and yes, i had the scroll quest and other quests too. I also made sure to stand by the flag till it gave me the icon.

it took hours and im a bit miffed

Not sure how those are rewarded but the best rewards come from killing enemy players. I remember the PVP Dev sayingthat killing a level 50 enemy player will give better rewards than seiging a keep. It also seems to be based off damage done, so solo and group kills will be really rewarding and tagging in a zerg will give next to nothing.

ok, thanks for that. it used to be i was in a zerg I got a ton of emails and credit. Last couple of days of pvp its been much lower tho the effort and output is the same if not more due to going deep into enemy country. It was disappointing to say the least. Im a healer so one on one action is not going to work till i can dual spec i guess.

frankly, this makes me tired and I cant see going back for more till healers get more credit for what they do. Like on one hard won keep I stayed by the most intense action and sent up shields, purges and heals and took a ton of heat to keep others up, died natch and still ran back repeatedly to continue and I didnt get one bit of credit for that or the scroll run which took forever to win and run back. screw it I could have spent those days of pvping questing and making money and earning char levels. also, more and more players have the fastest mounts now and there is no way to keep up with them to tag the resources etc before they have moved off.

for me im done with it, too much work for too little exp/money/loot

Well the Cyrodiil PVP is designed to be more of an endgame. A reason you built and leveled your character to 50. Its something to do at max level and keep progressing thew the Aliiance ranks and skills. if you look at its previous builders game Darkage of Camelot, you really couldn't even contribute much in PVP till you were max level. With this system in ESO where your bumped to max level you can still atleast compete and help. But as for EXP, and gold, its really not ment for that. They don't want the same things to happen here that happened in GW2. Where you just zerg keeps for exp and gold and move on and keep trading them with the enemy alliance. In ESO its more about defending and holding onto what you control and fighting enemy players.

thank you for your well thought out responses and I see your point of view. I found initially the alliance war epic in cyro and look forward to bringing in my hubby and sister when they get to lvl 10. it is very incredible at first and will be fun then, but I think for my gamestyle it will be an occasional treat and I will stick with pve mostly.

the not getting credit for the hard won battles is a game breaker for me whether due to glitches or me not getting in enough dps/healing in or if its just for the raid that tags it first I dont know. I may give it another full day and see if it replicates and submit a bug report.

cheers mate!
