{Video} The Battle of Camp Road: now with moar camps

Telel

Recently khajiit has noticed many words being said about the return of forward camps to this game. Some of these words have even been polite and spelled properly. However khajiit has yet to form their own opinion on the matter as it is not their humble place to point out how wrong people are. Especially when their opinion is different from their own.

However during today's harvest of red meat and blue berries the pack engaged in a most spirited battle with the combined forced of the no-pants pact, and the daggerbacks. This led to a most spirited battle over one of Cyrodiil's least traveled features, its extensive road system.

Enjoy.

Oh, and it's thirteen minutes long so bring snacks.

As an added bonus. Singing khajiit, the muzakal.

My group of 16 was there on that road. Would hardly call that the entire EP force though! Maybe a few random EP not grouped with us; the forward camps make it feel like more though I bet.

Was a fun battle, I was shocked AD followed us off the resource!

Telel

Telel felt that if they left you to your own devices you'd just resume sieging alessia, or set up an over priced toll booth. As we'd just managed to hold onto that keep it felt prudent to keep the murder train chugging along. Plus the pack was ready for a break anyways.

Also note that Telel did not say it was all the EP and DC. Instead they said it felt like the majority of your ability to be offensive had been concentrated onto that road.

In my opinion this is a perfect example of what makes forward camps so great, a fight on a road that would otherwise see no action unless a scroll passes through.

Telel

Telel both disagrees, and agrees. Such is the way of mediocrity.

To me it feels like FPS gameplay. I might as well be playing a Battlefield game.

To be fair, we were dropping camps if one or two people died, while all those AD could just instantly res without even the 2minutes timer at the keep. The cheapness of death will always exist in this game.

If anything, what the community wants is for there to be a radius around keeps in which you can't place camps so that keep fights aren't prolonged.

For that to be a factor most of the one's dieing would have had to know they can just ride back from the keep with no penalty. Sadly only the very best of the dumbminion know that super secret special attack move. ^_^

Also, by this point we knew any loss in pressure would just see you goobers dug back in at the mine or sieging the keep. Especially the dorker fails coming to 'help' you out. Hence why you see a khajiit place their own camp near the end.

I know Telel, Im just saying that camps or not theres still no penalty to death other than a short ride back.

This imperial knight is always disappoint(ed) that the nefarious kajit known as Telel does not speak Kajit-like when he hears his voice in these moving picture ...

I love that camps are back, fighting over keeps for hours is fun and worth it now. The good ole days of defending flagged keeps for hours on end and getting that massive tick. There's so much more action on otherwise dead parts of the map now because of camps.

Also I'm not sure who you're referring to @vortexman11, but as part of the ESO community, I and many others are loving the fact that camps are back (the way they are). The game feels so alive now. You never know when a fight is going to end, when and where a camp is going to go up. And in terms of fighting out numbered, a camp can change the tide of a battle for a small group that just got zerged down.

Also I continue to believe your statement is both invalid and incorrect at least in generalization of the community. If we compare the radius of camps on PTS and Live, it is evident that people wanted the radius to encompass the vicinity of the entire keep. That was the feedback that was given.. you can't possible have a forward camp, if your advance comes to a halt because you ran outside the radius of your camp.

Had camps stayed the way they were on PTS, we would of had to change the name to defense camps because they wouldn't be useful for anything other than that.

vortexman11

@Zabus I guess I really shouldn't of acted like I was speaking for everyone, I just read complaints all over the forums of people blaming camps for high latency due to keep fights lasting longer. I personally don't see an issue with camps because we've seen just as bad/worse lag in the time between when camps were removed and now. Trust me, I most likely share the same views you have on camps.

I was just trying to look at things from @Satiar 's point of view when he said he didn't like the "cheapness" of death.

The pack forbids khajiit speak on the battlefield and requires this one to affect the airs of one most grumpy.

They also forbid this one from singing their songs when hurling their bodies into the fire of pwnage. It is much sadness.

You seem to be having fun in Cyrodiil. I'm amazed that you're not all being wiped by that most overpowered of all game bosses: AoE-lag.

Nice singing.

Oh...this one has been felld by that boss more than a billion times now. In fact whenever the pack wishes to rush a breach that most vile of fiends reaches out and turns Telel's FPS all the way down to 11. It is much sadness.

Khajiit also humbly thanks you for your honest and glorious praise of their meager ability to burst into spontaneous song parodies.
