scroll holding time limit

Waseem

there is an urgent need for scroll holding time limit. at the moment X guild holds the scroll and instead going to keep to secure it, they go to hide in a resource's tower or a tunnel and kill every *** of other faction that goes to the scroll spot. in few words, scrolls are used to grind idiots of other faction the same way i grind zombies.
my request is like this: if scroll holder(s) failed to secure the scroll after.. say 15 minutes? the scroll automatically return to the keep it was taken from
looking forward for a useful reply.

Do you get a bonus for getting kills while near the scroll carrier? I've seen that happen a lot too

There is a limit of one hour. I've run 149 scrolls in my time playing ESO, and the average run time is about 25 minutes. Some have been close to 45 minutes if there was a lot of fighting on the way.

AP farming while holding a scroll is a thing. There are a lot of spots where you can control the ingress (choke) and make it almost impossible for opponents to get in alive (unless they zerg up, rotate barriers, and act PERFECTLY coordinated.

I used to have my group practice this for 15 minutes at a time (controlling a choke). Like anything else, the more you practice, the better you get.

A lower scroll reset time would hurt real scroll runs more then it will hurt farmers. With the game locking everyone to moving at the same speed with a 40% and 10% speed buff running scrolls take longer now. In the past the guy with full medium well fitter scroll running regen gear with a bow rolling was the fastest way to get a scroll across the map.

Lower time will mean just hold a choke point like a bridge or mile gate for just 5 minutes will reset scrolls.

Farmers could just clear the Temple and stay there farming. Farmers will always find a way.

Running scrolls and farming AP along the way has always been the only fun part of being in large groups.

gotta grab a dolmen along the way too.

They've been doing that forever... My fav is when they would run around with 2 or more scrolls with their huge ZERG and just kill any one that came. This happened because one faction soooo outnumbered the other factions on the server that it became a joke.

It's super annoying when someone (like the other night) holds the scroll and just refuses to do anything with it. I wouldnt have mind seeing them AP farm, but they were just holding it, standing around while everyone yelled at him. but a 15 minute time limit where it goes back to where it came from could be dangerous. It would mean you wouldn't need to beat them, just run out the clock. If someone wants to risk the scroll to control a choke point just for AP, and people willingly throw themselves at that point, that's AP well earned IMO. the current 1 hour time limit should be sufficient enough.

Sounds more like the fault of the idiots than the game. 1. There is a time limit on scroll carries and it's a good time limit as is. and 2. You don't get AP from farming the same people over and over quickly, so it would have to be a lot feeding it to be worthwhile. More importantly though, it's part of the game, many times a scroll run/farm can be a distraction to allow others to take a keep or two while you hold numbers elsewhere on the map or make a faction choose between coming after a scroll or continuing to push keeps. Other times you are getting chased hard and just have to hold up somewhere and go out fighting. I can probably count on one hand the number of times we went to grab a scroll with no other reason than to farm idiots and I've been playing since beta.

This made me wonder...

Has anyone tried to take a scroll into the Imperial Sewer? What happens?

Strategy

If you realize the scroll has been captured and the point become obvious that a farm is intended. Retake the keep or local from where it was stolen from. You know it will return there in one hour. Step 2. Take a keep in front of the scroll so you can get in the path with a re-spawn point. Step 3. harass the scroll group repeatedly; remember you are only trying to delay the scroll and run out the clock. Once you are in a position to stop the scroll all you need to do is zerg and use siege. Players that choose to farm AP with a scroll typically do not care if they actually cap the scroll in a home keep. The main concern you should have is making sure when it resets you have control of the place of origin.

On the other side of this coin, when you see that a scroll farm is in play force the factions hand. Take as many Emp keeps from then as you can remember chances are the faction holding the scroll is at the scroll.

1 hour reset from place of origin.

If dropped you have 5 mins I believe to pick it up before reset is automatic.

if you die to a npc while interacting with scroll you will be spawned to wayshrine with scroll. (known bug....enjoy)

Ah, that explains it. There is a time limit. You have 1 hour from the moment you pick the scroll up to secure it, or it will reset to the keep or temple you took it from. I assure you, that hour can be necessary if you have to fight your way across the map with it. Of course, there's no way to ensure that whoever picks up the scroll uses the time to run it back rather than farm with it.

Ah, that explains it. There is a time limit. You have 1 hour from the moment you pick the scroll up too secure it, or it will reset to the keep or temple you took it from. I assure you, that hour can be necessary if you have to fight your way across the map with it. Of course, there's no way to ensure that whoever picks up the scroll uses the time to run it back rather than farm with it.

We Scroll farm pretty much 5 times a week - 20-60k AP grind in 20-40 min is always a good boost
