Empty sewers team orange farming covenant zones

Shadow_Akula

Ok I understand that it's a PVP zones but on an empty server in empty sewers in all Zones, why come to covenant territory to kill one guy for tel var when you can farm your own zones for tel var, unless of course my theory that team orange can't kill daedra is correct. Also why you need a team of 4-5 people for 1 person just shows how pathetic it is.
If you spent time farming your own zones you would have all the tel var you needed by now. Leave the fighting for full servers like Azura's star please. Earn your own tel var for once team orange instead of stealing it like cowards on an empty server.

but....but.......but......blue tel var stones taste better

I have to ask. If the server is empty and the sewers are empty, how did you die?

In all seriousness, it is a pvp zone. If the zone is as empty as you say, they were probably looking for action while clearing each side. Since Orsinium there is literally only one thing stones are good for and that's repora. Everything this else is easier obtained other ways.

If you were farming for trophies, then who cares about the stone loss. It's the risk you take for being down there, you know this.

Empty as in hardly any one there, I visited both pact and dominion sides - no one here but lots of targets they could be farming - covenant area get jumped by 5 pact, sorry but no just no go farm your own side.

If you want to steal tel var from covenant join Azura's star and camp outside our enterance like you normally do.

Shadow_Akula

^ same with looking for action - join Azura's star

Just go gank them on their buff sever.

When I need stones I just load my magics nightblade onto thornblade and gank for a few k.

Our bone shard/dark ether route is the best farming route in the sewer, that's probably why though

SneaK

Id rather take a player's stones than grind NPCs.

Trying to shame someone who engaged you in PvP while you were in a PvP zone, and carrying a bounty, is ridiculous.

Almost as much as acting like blue or red would ever team up with yellow, everyone hates AD.

Shadow_Akula

^ no they don't it's pact and AD with the "secret" alliance and hey you want to take people stones the best server for it - Azura's star!

^This. get rekt or get ZOS to balance the shards/ether drops rates. Then you can have "your" sewer back.

So naive.. Just let me know what server/platform/campaign you are in so I can be sure to not come attack you.

Also, everyone above is absolutely correct, blue sewers are packed with the best mag trophy drops, not yellow or red's fault blue has the best sewer.

This part here confuses me. If I have a party of 5 people and we come across a a lone enemy player are we all supposed to stop and draw straws to see who gets to fight him and the other 4 just sit there and watch? That's just plain silly. Please explain to me the proper etiquette when a larger group encounters a smaller group. Are we all supposed to get together and properly balance out both sides before starting the encounter because I can assure you that never, ever, ever happens.

How bout leave the guy alone? Or actually vote and have people 1v1 until the guy is dead or until your team is dead - the groups I'm on about don't 1v1 it's all 5 on 1 cause they're cowards who are scared I could taker them 1v1 style (which I can assure you I can't).
Better yet stick to your own sewers on empty servers, doesn't matter about trophy drops - you don't get trophies from killing players, if you farm your own zones enough the trophy drops would be common in your zones too!

Using a team to take down 1 person just shows that the group is pathetic and unskilled.

How about no lmao. Anything goes in the sewers. Its a video game. For all they know u could be a ganker.

bardx86

get some friends?

I'm sure what ZOS wanted when they designed IC was for the teams to split into abandoned servers and farm freely with no PVP threats.

God if I had a youtube account I could prove this so wrong right now...

Xqluded

Are people really complaining about being killed in a PvP zone? I go down there knowing I take the chance of getting ganked.

The same point the OP is trying to prove goes for him as well. If you go down there assuming you are going to 1v1 all day and night then you will end up making a ridiculous post on the forums like this one.

I could make a thread flaming the people that get ganked by my group it would have a title like this:

"Empty Sewers Boring, Team up so I can 5v5 ."

Oh and for the record....yes I'm AD. Maybe we just have a little more sense.

olivaresdonjuan

What campaign and what system? Blue complaining about ganking lol

No you don't, considering you apparently can't fight daedra in your own areas and also you need to team up with pact most of the time, very funny on Azura's star (I use a different campaign for sewers) how when we siege yellow castles Reds come to rescue you, and same thing when it's the red castles being sieged.

Oh and it's an empty server, not Azura's star, when I go into the server there's very few people on it - I've been into both AD and Pact parts and they've had no players in them, why? Because they're in our bit! Notice how there's no yellow fighting Reds anywhere? Even on Azura's star in the city and sewers never seen Reds n yellows fight anyone other than covenant in the covenant bit (oh one exception where we made it to the centre bit)

Have a problem with my post - ignore it, simple.

Yes it's a video game, that doesn't revoke my right to complain! Why do you think the vet ranks are getting removed? Because the lazy people complained!

There is no game out there that has never had a person complain about it!

You have the right to complain I suppose but you still haven't answered my question, what campaign and what system? Mr orange, no thanks, blood for the pact I say. I ask because every server I've played on since August is a constant struggle between red and yellow while blue spends their time ganking PvE'ers and sewer farmers (except Azuras, Skull, and Scourge when baconator was there). You can see why a lonely blue or a team of blues would be targeted in the sewers. I can't speak for the guilds that run different alliances in the same campaigns but for me and my friends we stay red and fight the green alliance.

Shadow_Akula

^ I'm sorry but no there's definitely an orange alliance I've played since release day (of course I've taken a few months off here n there to play other games) n why you want to know what server I go into the sewers on? So you can gather up your orange alliance and come after me? Hahaha orange team is pathetic

First take a look at the part of your quote that I made bold. It confirms my suspicions of you having no sense whatsoever. Read that statement one more time and try to figure out why i'm giving you the o.0 face irl while reading your comments.

Next, you do realize that were making rounds correct? We don't jump into the sewers and make a B-line to the blue side. I have been in hundreds of groups in IC and each and every one of them have been making rounds. Believe it or not, we start on our own side and make our way up to red and then end at blue.

Also, I really don't know why you think your so special. But kid, if you really think that we don't attack reds when we go up there then you are straight up losing your mind. I am by no means racist when it comes to pvp. If you have a colored symbol above your head, I will jump you like a dirt mound at a motocross track. Best believe that. You are worth more than the Daedra.

Next, if you want to clear every boss or make the most TelVar stones in a single run. Chances are an empty server will have a less chance of running into an opposing zerg that will just wipe your group making you start at home and take the stones we've farmed. Yes, we will also kill you for your stones if you are dumb enough to farm a HIGHLY active PvP zone alone. Yes sir, empty servers still have a TON of people in them. More than you would think. Guess what, most of them are in IC. Find them and group up. Solo may have been a viable option Pre IC in Cyrodiil but now it requires loads of skill or a class that can easily escape if you plan to survive the sewers alone. If the flag boss doesn't get you the PvP will.

Lastly. Teaming up......give me a break. If I wanted to team up with red I would create a red. When you siege yellow castles and red kills you, i'm going to let you in on a secret. But don't tell anyone because it will ruin the stigma that we like to have. But red tries to take the keep when you are all dead! And thats not even the best part. You ready? We fight back!

Your argument is as moot as every other anti PvP in Cyrodiil thread. First I read a thread where someone was crying on the forum because he was ganked while questing. Then I read this thread of you complaining that you get ganked while in IC. It's alright though. I know your type. Hypocritical. Tomorrow you will do exactly what was done to you and then post a "nerf this class" thread because the other player is better than you.

AshTal

Always people looking to spoil other peoples fun.

On a serious note people have told me that the covernet sewers are the best area to grind. Maybe they were just going there as easiest kills and stones.

All factions are guilty of this I often find Covernet players camping the minor boss in the Pact area they wait for the group to engage the boss then stealth kill them. I would assume they would get more hunting their own stones but I could be wrong.

Shadow_Akula

Xqluded: try to cover up your secret alliance all you want - I've seen every day since day 1 with my own eyes! Lately you've even adopted trading castles as a method to reduce suspicion - I've seen pact take an AD castle without anyone even coming to scout your attack force, same thing when AD attack a Pact fort, only time you fight each other is when the rescue happens in order to reduce suspicion from the dead blues - guess what?! WE ALL KNOW YOU HAVE TEAMED UP!

Yes you do make a B-line for covenant sewers I've seen it with my own eyes again, you leave perfectly good NPC enemies and run straight into our sewers! More tel var in our area? Uh try killing the daedra in your zones I think you'll find its all the same. If your going for bosses, GO FOR THE BOSSES THEN! One guy when there's 5 of you isn't gonna jump in and kill you during the fight. If you really want collecting tel var to go quickly, with draw 100 from your bank, your tel var multiplier is doubled instantly, meaning when you go fight daedra you get double (normal daedra go from 4 TV to 8TV, beast daedra go from 12TV to 24TV) if you want it to go faster withdraw 1000 which triples it (however even I as your enemy do not recommend this as chances are some point you will run into someone and lose most of the 1000)

Also looks like my point about groups went straight over your head - 5v1 takes no skill 2v1 doesn't take skill unless your up against someone really good. And no there's less people than you think on the empty servers - I do rounds of IC as well as the Sewers! Hardly anybody in the city!

You personally may not team up with anyone but your team definitely has!

We are in "your" sewers because the Vile Drainage is by far the best grind spot and it's not even close.

I've never been in the AD or EP sewers, but I've heard this enough times from gankers I've hate-whispered that I actually believe it.

Just another example of how ZOS engineered IC to inflict maximum misery on players.

RoamingRiverElk

There's a significant part of the sewers in the DC area where it's very efficient to farm bone shards and dark ether (+ tel vars and xp).

When people go farm tel vars and trophies there as a small group, unless they're very confident about their skills (that they won't die to a single attacker) and believe there aren't going to be any more enemies than that, they will attack an enemy player on sight. Some because they don't want to take the risk of getting killed and some because they want that player's stones. It's not about who is better than the other, you simply are in the way of their goal (or part of their goal), which is to farm trophies and stones as safely and as efficiently as they can. It is not about PvP or skills.

As for why four or five people - because this is an MMO so people like to do things together, and because it's safer to go to another faction's area with more people than by oneself, especially considering how long it takes to get there. They know there are gankers around, they know there are enemy players around. Just because it's a 1 - 1 - 1 campaign, it doesn't mean there aren't people in the sewers - and especially - in the DC sewers.

If you want mats and V15-16 drops without being killed go to Wrothgar and stop whining.
