I heart Cyrodiil

Alucardo

Reached level 37 on my new Nightblade so figured I'd take him for a spin in Cyrodiil for my first time ever.. yeah, I'm late to the party. It was a bit slow to begin with - trying to find where the action was, and by the time I got there, the action was over. So I'd take a scouting mission and get completely lost thanks to all the mountains, water full of slaughterfish and other annoying obstacles. Finally made it near the lumbermill I was supposed to scout and I see "OEMRGUD NIKEL *** *** QUICK". So I dive in the water, get eaten alive by slaughterfish, respawn, run to Nikel and everyone was already dead. I go back to PvE saddened by the fact I got absolutely nothing done in Cyrodiil - no kills, no scouting missions complete. Just a body full of slaughterfish holes and sore feet.
I decided to try again tonight. Holy crap. What a blast. After 25 minutes of constant battling and PvE was dead to me. If you haven't tried PvP yet, I highly recommend you do so. Keep an eye on your map and text chat to see where the action is and follow it asap so you don't miss the fun. Seige and storm the castle. Group tightly and hold it. Repair walls and doors for that extra AP to buy siege weapons and other neat war-related items. Seriously, god damn.. why did it take me so long?
You're probably wondering about the downsides?

- It will ruin PvE for you.
- PvE sucks now
- You will tire of reading LFG in your chat log
