@ZOS Zerging across the tops of gates and blobbing in towers is dumb.

TheBull

Boring to do, and boring to fight. Fighting against Blobs in towers, and zergs on top of gates has taken up atleast 3 hours of each of my last two nights.

I'm making this thread because it seems to becoming the norm. It's a bad look for the game and boring for both sides.

Please fix.

I don't understand what people want here. It's a big battlefield for lots of players. Some of them will be in groups. Is there a certain spread that makes it more or less satisfying for you?

This is large scale pvp, groups happen.

Pretty sure ZOS ignores any @ZOS / Brian wheeler threads
either that or they are deeply regretting the @ feature no doubt.

Make the title something catchy about ruining your RP/PvE experience and they will instantly respond/fix the issue.

So you'd rather lag out at keeps? PvDoor unmanned keeps? It's the most fun (minus all the gd bow root spam) I've had in cyrodiil since camps were removed.

Who doesn't enjoy a good gate or bridge fight?

Yeah that's me. I've asked all DC bow users to slot Bombard.

And I hate you for that.

I'm spending my time mostly at Alessia bridge these days. Great, chaotic fun!

Disclaimer: I spend all my time on that *** bridge because EU-TB still suffers from a broken scoring system, making control over keeps and scrolls a fruitless exercise.

Wish DC had a bridge... Bridge > Following the zerg across the top of a gate for hours. Back and forth, back and forth...

You can use the bridge between Roebeck and Alessia!

If you are spending 3 hours fighting a fight you don't want to fight.........well I just don't know what to tell you.

Cody

I actually dont know if you mean gate camping or fighting near keeps:/

Rylana

Honestly are people ever going to stop complaining about what OPFOR does?

I mean at the end of the fricken day what do you want? Single file lemmings just walking up to you and /playdead for nice easy kills?

I completely understand what you're saying, but I think what the OP is talking about is the AP farming groups which I agree are boring as hell to fight.

Junipus

I don't understand what the problem is. Since they lowered the pop caps and the lag is mostly gone, those groups rarely last very long in towers or gates against another organised group or pugs using lots of cc.

So many times last night I saw AD groups trying this tactic and then being facerolled without killing anyone.

Gyudan

Take 10 players and push for another castle?

I thought PVP was "dying" and that there weren't enough players left in Cyrodiil, yet people still complain about zergs ...

Lord_Hev

I think what he means is, groups getting in blobs, and then just freight training cuz no collision + AOE cap + lolbalance.


Kind of like, what a certain EP guild on NA Thornblade does in every encounter.



I've had some awesome small, and even large scale battles, where people weren't zerging in a blob train from Oblivion. People stuck together of course, but it looked "natural." They formed little groups, within the overall force that roamed their side of the field, to engage the rival force. People were working together, not AOE blobbing IN each other... like, a clown car act.


I've had much more fun in those fights, then just following a blob train that just stands and moves in each other... towards the other group for either a lolsteamroll, or a massive cluster bomb of laggyness.

SoulScream

If a bunch of noobs didn't stand in their red stuff giving them a lot of ap they wouldn't be there.

Tell that to my ping time of 200 and FPS of 20 a couple min ago in the middle of an Sej fight... and I live in central US on the NA server.

I had 13 fps and 20k+ ping rate for an extended time last night when EP piled in their clown car at Ales farm, and AD brought their own zergball to the circus. Everyone in my group lagged out and crashed at least once. In the best bit of ESO irony, my crash report crashed again. I always love that part.

the lag is not mostly gone.

I'm not sure about the other Alliances, but DC has started to siege down every tower before capturing a resource flag. I've seen this for Glade mine, Glade mill, Ash mine, and Ash farm.

Started having to do this with Ales farm too last night, bit it was a complete cluster once AD also showed up and started rushing the tower as well. For the first time since the caps where lowered I started getting high ping. My sound also completely bugged out. I'm beginning to think players are doing this on purpose just to ruin the game for others.

It's not a zerg at the top of the gate, it is an organised group of 15-20 people farming AP.

So you have spent 6 hours doing exactly what they want you to do... fight them and feed them AP. Thus you have given them incentive to stay. If you don't want people farming you at a gate don't go there, instead capture all their keeps while they are wasting time farming in the gate.

I live on the east coast and have no lag issues outside of fps drops in large battles or when they are purposefully spamming healing springs. Even with fourty people fighting I have no issues. My pc is also six years old. Are you people playing on toasters?

RinaldoGandolphi

I got a giggle out of them doing that the other night. I stayed way back and pick folks off at range, the minute they even started in my direction, BE out, vanish, wait for regroup, do again...i got bored after about a half hour and left. Pointless really just like the ones that camp farm towers...boring I never stick around for that nonsense

I'll bite. I farm. I farm solo. I farm while playing to win.

Here's the issue. You can't exactly leave 30 people in a tower. You can't exactly leave 30 people on top of the gate. If you don't kill them, they have enough to siege.

So your answer sounds good and all, but 30 people 5-10 seconds from your keep is a high threat priority. They have to be dealt with.

We encountered the lamest of cheesy blob tactics last night at Nickel.
I have no idea how many EP were crammed on that little ledge spamming AoE, but it was a lot of them and that was dumbest display I have seen lately.

Even Dee Tick could not smile upon that tactic and they were defeated.

Why would you even do that?
