CU has just begun to increase their visuals and designs. I get emails from them at the very least 3 times a week (aside from holiday times) describing what they are doing, any new employees they are hiring, what new alpha tests will be conducted, and the results from the alpha tests conducted in the past.

When you log into the alpha test you can talk directly to the people creating the game, including Mark.

The only reply I will see from Zos is likely a warning for this post.

I'd love to see CU do well but I've never seen a Kickstarter game that was worth a piece of guar dung. I'm skeptical.

For those who wonder about cu graphics go look at the early daoc beta screenshots vs release. Vast difference.. Right now they are working in the basic systems of the game. Also the game is not competing to look like bso or whatever other Korean memo that pops up and dies in the west. It's competing for a very specific market that doesn't require amazing graphics but a functioning game with little lag.

God damn Zaz... Why do you have to leave...? ;/ Probably one of the chillest and respectable guild in the game. Never a salty whisper from any of you. It was a blast fighting you guys and its sad to see another guild inactive

Btw, I'm still salty about the dethrone GoS had on my emperorship! Haha jk Good fighting out there and god damn Vortexman you couldn't just stop rezing eh?! haha

Here is the video of the memories we shared out in the battle field fighting each other:

Best of luck to all GoS members and hopefully, Zaz, you won't leave ESO for good (I still believe the game will rise from the ashes)!

Holy sh*t that meme made me feel ill to look at...

GoS quitting is sad too, I remember playing along side them in Bringers of Daedra, was good times.

Elite: Dangerous, been playing that game non-stop for a year now. Most crowd funded games these days seem to be better than private and market financed games, imo. With crowd sourced games you get devs that are passionate about their projects and have a vision that isn't malleable to "Marketing Peeps" forces. Even a game like ED has its bugs, but you'd be surprised how quickly they address the big ones and get them fixed. It's like they actually know their code and know where they want their game to go, rather than polling groups of idiots who can't think beyond first cause solutions.

Personally, I give small studio and crowd sourced projects higher consideration these days than mainstream publishers, as the mainstream products tend to be highly commoditized, poorly produced and riding on an existing IP to cover up their poor production practices and vision.

This seems like a big cry for attention thread.

yes GoS is a great and respected pvp guild but you mean to tell me out of ALL those consistently active members, not a single one of you could carry on the banner? Rylana did in Zazeer's 3 month absence. .. i guess, but no one else to share the load? you guys should know each other's playstyle by now that any core member could run groups.

CU is in like alpha staged alpha. it looks like *** and it has at least 3 years of dev time just to get it in beta. if not more.

saying your guild is "moving to CU" is premature and foolish at best. if the devs from Warhammer are creating CU, then get ready for disappointment. i would put money down that they will probably change developer lead hands before they come out of alpha stage.

whatever, i know GoS will still be around. sounds like leadership just wanted out of a responsibility. thats fair. i know the feeling. but dont veil it as "we found something better" or "the devs ruined our game for us" thats just childish. own up to the real issue: leadership got burnt out. but thats what happens when a guild focuses on one aspect of the game.

I'm not really sure what has changed to cause such general malaise. So Zazeer went casual and there will be one less Zerg running around. Isn't this a good thing and generally what we want? Groups are getting smaller and smaller (With some exceptions) which is good.

It seems the majority of the players in GoS are still playing so the impact really should be minor. Plenty of Red ball groups rolling around still as I fought them all weekend.

No. GoS was not a mindless Zerg, but a collection of talented players who typically actually tried to make the campaigns they played on better for the entire PvP community. We need more guilds with such accountability and a sense of responsibility, not less.

And you don't seem to have recognzied that with the exodus of many of the more talented players and guilds - Alacrity, Havoc, No Mercy, et al, - all I presume you are happy to see gone as that's one less zergblob - they simply get replaced by other guilds who try to mimic what made them successful and just wind up tanking the ping because ZoS's incompetence and failure to work with the PvP community have fostered a meta where such lag-inducing tactics are rewarded.

The departure of GoS is a real loss and I am sorry I won't be playing with or against them.

My recollection of fighting them doesn't make them quite so benevolent as you seem to recall but my intent wasn't to insult them in any way, just to state the obvious from my PoV.

Do you honestly thing the farming Ball groups of Alacrity, No Mercy, and Havok has been a good thing for this game? How many thousands of players got farmed over and over by these elite crews with no chance at all to compete and ended up never coming back?

One guy leaving didn't change PvP in any way, IMO it may have helped it in more ways than it hurt it. That's no an insult at any of them, Zazeer is a nice guy and I enjoyed fighting with and speaking to him, but I think that playstyle in this game has had a detrimental effect more than it helped the enjoyment of the players who contributed to it.

If GoS becoming casual means no more blobs then perhaps I'll get a chance to experience some PvP from its members in a far more "Casual" manner and that's a good thing to me yes. /shrug

See this is exactly what I said tonight to some members of the DC 21men ballgroup who were farming EP pugs at Alessia mine for hours. But they kept saying that they were close to dieing to them and blablabla. In reality, they were not even using barriers or purges and were rolling on the same guys over and over and over farming them and not giving them any hope.

In other words, some people play this game for their own interests and pleasure and don't give a damn if the opposite faction never get any kills and get discouraged. As long as they get their AP farm rolling, it's all that matters to them. They won't split their groups in two halfs and hit different places to make it more challenging. They will stick to their ballgroup of 21 and farm spreaded out EP standing in their pain train. In the end, players who just started playing the game leave as fast as they arrived with a salty taste left in their mouth.

Assuming you are referring to our 45 minutes or so at Alessia last night, we were most certainly purging and using barriers. And was the real issue there the 21 of us or 40 or so reds potatoing into us the whole time we were there?

What the hell is wrong with crying for a little attention now and again? This is, as YOU put, a great and respected pvp guild. So in (what seems to be) a crappy time for them, don't they DESERVE to get a bit of attention? Haven't they at least earned that much from this community? Furthermore, who are you? To outright insult and call them out like this, go away man, just go.
