Opinions on Other Factions' PVP Techniques or Player in General?

WuffyCerulei

Hi everyone. I wanna know your opinions are on the other factions' pvp techniques and how they operate. Maybe even your thoughts on your own faction. I'm EP, and that's all I hear from. I'll admit I see that EP is constantly disorganized in various campaigns, or the better players bicker between each other. Compared to my own faction, AD and DC are more organized. I don't know if you feel the same, but let me know!

Please keep any nasty or hateful language out. I wanna keep this thread somewhat civil.

I just wanna say ganking is a cheap tactic for anyone in any faction. Fight me like a man, or cat, or lizard, or whatever you are!

They're all bad and need to uninstall before they embarrass themselves anymore.

They play the way they enjoy or what's the best for winning the situation. I hold respect for them all.

The only times I have been unhappy with rivals is when they're actively trolling/exploiting to get a rise out of people. I don't mind losing a good or fair right, but exploits and immature behaviour annoy me.

As for how they act, every faction has the same problems, lazy players, clueless pugs and clashing ego's.

Anyone who (magsorc)shieldstacks out the ass and anyone who use proximity in singletarget ganking, I dont think very highly of those.

I'm really appreciating any input. I wanna know what DC and AD peeps think while in PVP. Never know what they truly think.

I play exclusively for the DC. I try to ignore a lot in zone chat as it is occasionally toxic...not about the other factions, but other people in the DC. I don't understand why as are we supposed to be allies? I have left campaigns because of the toxicity. It is not the majority of the players but it happens enough that I want to turn off zone. But, without zone, I wouldn't get the heads up on where the action is. There are some great DC guilds that I have seen running. The organization is improving over time.

A lot of the problems that I have seen in the past with the other factions seems to be corrected in the patch. I am not seeing factions pushed back to the gates on a daily basis. In my opinion, that kills PVP. I know I don't want to play if we are being gate camped. I won't gate camp as it just isn't sporting. I want competitive campaigns for all of the factions. Sometimes, it is better to have no emperor. One of the best fights I have seen in a long time was a few days ago at BRK lumber where all three factions were fighting for over half an hour. EP eventually won but it was a great fight.

When I first started pvping, I hated the other factions for various reasons. Over time, I have grown to respect some of the people in the other factions. I don't respect those who are the ones who push the gates. I don't like logging out at midnight and wake up at 6 am to see the map has flipped to just one color. If we have nothing, why push Warden, especially if you don't even have your own home keeps. I don't understand that logic. The only explanation for it is someone has the quest. I have seen it happen in all three factions. (well, obviously DC can't push Warden, but Kingscrest or Bloodmayne).

I will tell you this. Nothing is more annoying to me when I see huge zergs of EP that outnumber the DC 3 to 1 and read on the forum after I log out about the EP not having enough people. You are the largest faction. You are not hurting for players. Yes, you may not have the organization of the DC, but due to Skyrim, the EP is always going to outnumber the DC. It may go back and forth with the AD in terms of population of being the largest, but the EP is not in its final hours. Yes, organized guilds may be moving on, but the EP has a huge playerbase. EP is almost always poplocked during prime time. Just think what could be if someone organized the pugs.

And if the quest is kill enemy DKs, head east. If it is kill enemy NBs, then head south.

For any faction: I appreciate when they already have an opponent's scrolls and leave their tri-keeps alone. Otherwise what are we doing? People log in, take a look at the map, see they are pushed to their gates and log off.

For everything else, it's all good, small scale, full group, whatever. I like good fights.

This is what I've seen from my pvp experiences. These are the ones that annoy me the most and I am sure that all 3 factions are guilty of doing these exact same things. I am AD

AD- Everyone walks over dead bodies and doesn't Rez causing us to lose many resources and keeps.
DC- Blue ball groups that stack on themselves casting tons of AOE's to try and lag the server out.
EP- Brings 3 full raids to a 1 raid fight.

The only play style that annoys me these days is the 4 archer group all using poison injection/snipe from stealth. 4 NB archers + 1 templar for heals is cheese to me. I understand why the players choose this type of setup and certainly know they have their success against other small groups single targeting squish targets and then spamming bombard to maintain range. However, I think it's a low skill method to play the game.

Other than that - I am happy to face many different types of groups and group compositions. It's what keeps the game fun.

I guess I see the number of EP, but what ticks me off the most about my own faction is that there are too many buttwipes there who don't wanna cooperate. An small organized group can wipe a large herd of frazzled cherries rather fast. I've seen it happen a lot.
I admire the organization and what seems to be proper communication in DC and AD. Your numbers are smaller, but are more formidible. I guess EP's main strength is in numbers, not really skill.

I think EP and AD are sleeping with each other. I hate bro romances.

Too many 'large' egos. I can see most of the players are the type of people that goes to bars and talk about ESO

TLDR: EP isn't as bad as EP thinks it is, but DC and AD are the ones you can expect to be using tactics the most in pvp. DC is arrogant, AD is cool (for the most part), EP is a wildcard.

I think it's just a perspective when it comes to my own fellow EP thinking that only EP is unorganized. There are complaints from other factions that EP zergs, and we all know that a zerg is not unorganized. From my limited experience in BWB xbox NA AD, I wouldn't say that AD isn't necessarily any better. There were EP that have AD toons tell me how AD is unorganized and only knows how to go to flagged keeps. Heck, I've even seen AD that chewed out their own fellow AD for being unorganized. I can't say the same for DC since I've never been DC, but I believe that there are some DC that would make their own fellow DC think DC is unorganized.

However, I do think DC and AD do have one thing EP doesn't usually have, and that is "tactics" such as stacking meteors on a balled up group or making EP think that chalman is being seiged from the west when there is a group attacking the north (this one in my opinion is overused by DC that I expect it to always happen).

In game, I can't really say that I've never met a DC that didn't brag about how good his/her faction is especially DC who have EP toons. I've played with AD people before, and they seem pretty chill (but there are AD that tell me there is drama). There are people in my faction that (or at least did) think that AD is full of little kids, and I'd have to say that isn't really true, but I did hear some kid voices every now and then when I was AD. I wouldn't say we're all saints in EP since you'll see nice/polite people that will go above and beyond to help out, but you'll also see trolls that probably came from 4chan or weird people especially in riften.
