Old Issue, Same Dreams

MedicInTheWild · August 5

Since we know those sometimes people crash out with all different number errors in Cyro, can we not get some people working on a solution that makes us not wait in Que again.
On several occasions during this event after waiting in a 100+ Q, I was unlucky enough to go into a keep that had 80+ in it, not sure of exact numbers but 3 ball groups and several zergish type groups and have crashed out, and yes my PC and internet performance is well above average. I just think after years of this issue and no work around is kinda a proving point that PVP is ignored to much.
Myself i have only played 3 times during this midyear mayhem when I normally am on 75% of total event because I crashed and was kicked from PVP and am not going to wait in Q again after sometimes waiting for 120 minutes to get in the first time.

I dont see why @ZOS can not address this issue it has been on several forum post and we probably be on more if anyone actually thought something was going to be fixed.

With that being said, I am just tired of the neglect PVP has received and I know some may not agree but ESO PVP is not what is used to be.
I used to be able to 1v1, now I will get mowed down by 20+ and tea bagged by 2 or more and they ones bagging are not even on the *** recap.
Try to take a resource, mowed over by another zerg, and yes more teabags.
Most are so afraid of being away from there zerg/ballgroup because they don't want to die to a 1v1.
I would gladly die to a 1v1 to have some enjoyment even if i am part of a youtube montage/exposed video from some sad individual that has nothing better to do.

I hope this finds the correct person to answer the issue at hand:

Since you mention 1v1 specifically, have you tried Stormhaven?

Right now the hardest part about trying to play solo to me is the constant enemy range spam.

I agree to a point, sometimes I do get to 1v1 or 2v2 not to the extent I used to, the issue is when they get butt hurt and bring back a zerg to kill a solo or 2 man. I could even expand to having a 4 man and killing 4-5 and them bringing 20+ to kill you because they rather not try .

I main solo builds, mainly NB at the moment which are not built to any part of meta to my knowledge.
I have a brawler, ranged and bomber and seems if I kill someone they have to bring 5+ back to kill me and then teabag after having to bring that many.

Then if you try to crowd surf you take the chance of crashing and having to re que, which Im not doing anymore. I hate having to wait again after already have waiting my turn to get in pvp.

As someone who has routinely been on a 1 bar faction vs pop lock zerg, and have had a certain EP zone general come at me with 60+ for my duo on a rss, and having been bagged by dozens at a time (including ball groups), proving their overwhelming 'skill' to me... you cant let the bags get to you. I generally play 1 or 2vX, and most people wont come back alone or even with just the same group that got wiped, and why would they? Most are just there to hang out with buds and zerg surf some AP, not prove their mettle by dying repeatedly. They get #TheZerg to come take a rss or town or whatever it may be. Walk away,, make them fight you where you can handle the odds, after enough stragglers got too scared to keep chasing. Sometimes you win, sometimes you dont. When you dont, and youre getting bagged by a zerg, wear it as a badge of honor. They know they cant take you. They admitted it in their actions. so wear it with pride, go wreck their face again. most people that are there for the actual pvp will usually be fun, try again, and even banter with whispers, not get butt hurt (I fought an EP not too long ago, saw it was a 1v1 away from a rss, so i watched. they killed the AD. EP let me rez him, then we fought. stalemated- though im confident id have lost in a few more minutes. we bantered and discussed builds/what worked/didnt. good time had by all.) most players not interested in improving themselves will be the ones talking smack/tbagging/taunting while hiding i na zerg. again, They have already admitted defeat by their actions.

I prefer to cut keeps, leaving the farthest resource for last (or, if theres a resource with a downward cliff near it, like Drake farm for instance, that will be last, as its a great escape route, lots of LOS). This generally leads to more of a trickle-in zerg than a wall-o-zerg, which gives you more opportunity to manage/decide to bail. Keep an immov/invis alliance pot on your bar, no shame in dipping out against a zerg. when the zerg gets you, take pride in those bags. best advice for enjoying pvp.

Im rambling. but i agree, its hard to find good fights without a zerg showing, just gotta learn to deal with it. and i know we can go duel in stormhaven, but open world pvp is a lot more fun, even when i lose. Zergs are a part of it, so take it or leave it, sadly.
