I didnt think the "Green Alliance" existed until last night

Burning_Talons

I was running in Chillrend when we encounter 2 blues and a few yellows working together to defend a keep and rss. I always just though GA was just a term to use when they pushed you at same time. Now I know its very real. Happened a few days ago in IC aswell.

PS. I KNOW the way I died was hilarious

Traitors! True members of the Covenant would never ally themselves with the Dominion!

Never seen an EP group work together unless they boosted off each other

Of course not, all the other alliances are the boogey man and EP is perfect in every way

Took the words right out of my mouth I lost count how many time I was sieging a EP Keep and a group of AD wiped us out and allowed the Reds to repair the keep.

Lol. You mean 2 alliances join forces against the 3rd alliance to accomplish a common goal?

Wat.

No 2 alliances have ever focused the 3rd for any reason whatsoever. Cyrodiil is a perfectly balanced triune sandbox. Each faction attacks the other in an uncontrollable fit of blind rage and racism.

I just kill everyone now, no alliances, everyone is a scrub that needs to die.

If you don't think the green alliance exists then either your lieing or you haven't played PVP long enough. don't know how many times I'll be fighting AD and out of nowhere a sizable group of DC will just start attacking and its funny when you come across a AD and DC battle and they all stop fighting themself's just to wipe the reds how many times have I seen EP pushed to there gates in last place on the server but DC and AD don't push past Fort Ash/Nickel outpost. After playing in AD and EP the green alliance is alive and well.

Hard enough just to get EP to work with EP! lol

Path of least resistance. People like to steamroll and picking on the weakest alliance (at that moment) accomplishes their goal of feeling awesome.

If you think an entire alliance is somehow coordinating every player online to do, or not do something then I think you are ignoring map dynamics and people's psychology. You can barely get a pug to put up siege reliably, never mind preventing them from attacking a specific alliance.

Its guild things not pugs

PrinceFabious

On the PC NA..everyone still potatoes to EP side. If we didnt have such delicious pugs... It makes them all think they can 1vX. Throw one or two decent players in the mix and hello..Its a clip you wont see in their videos.

Yes and don't act like team orange doesn't exist either or wait they don't.Their no team Purple orange or Green its all in your head man or lady.Hey all am going to say is this maybe EP need to train their Pugs or get some better guilds together and win a Campaign. I know something EP can do get the 100+ people you have in the arena District to leave and fight up top and you won't be in last place all the time.

Plus in my experience most DC and Yellow just do not like red because of all the zerging you guys do or did in the past not to mentioned its a easier fight against Red then it is against yellow maybe that's why everyone farms red.

I can't watch the videos, but you know why stuff like this happens??

Cause of people like OP. For all the reds, unfortunately you are viewed as these naive loyalist fanboys that frequently sh*tpost the forums. Sorry, but when you see stuff like blue and yellow switching attention from each other and killing red instead, it's not personal, you are just a more fun target cause we know it's a higher % that when a red dies they'll come to the forum and post about it.

frozywozy

AD have been working with DC since Thornblade. Nothing new. They don't necessarily communicate between each other but they will, 75% of the time, ignore each other during the whole evening and push EP all the way to Arrius. I think it's a question of map design. People prefer to fight around Brk and Chal rather than going between Roebeck and Ash. Still a fact, green alliance is alive and strong these days.

They never switched attention if you watched the vid you could see the yellow was trying to stop the other yellow from attacking Caotic thats not switching attention thats full blown alliance tier

The green alliance is alive and well in the Imperial City too. They work together against us in the arena district all the time. I can't count the number of times I have attacked a blue only to have a yellow intervene and help them out.

Take my comment with a grain of salt, I couldn't even access the videos for some reason. I've seen this stuff happen with EP and DC, but at the end of the day it really just comes down to those particular group leads. It's not an alliance thing at that point, it's a couple groups where their leaders might run into each other and know one another. Still lame af.

xxslam48xxb14_ESO

I have seen blue and yellow zergs standing right next to each other and not fighting each other waiting to team up on red. I have also watched blue take one of yellows scrolls right before red turned it in and then return it to yellow after they wiped red. If you don't think there is some cross alliance guild communication you are clearly not pvping enough. The green alliance is very real on pc trueflame.

Well from my experience on Xbox AD and DC would be dueling in front of the arena and reds would come ruin it and then get wiped plus EP is right in front of DC in the arena so we most fight each other or go the long way around to enter the sewers or Dark ether place Of AD try the same thing they will run into EP.its just bad Map design by ZOS for the arena district thing.Not the green alliance.

Again are you sure the Yellow and Blue are not just dueling whenever I go to the arena its to duel and its mainly just Blue vs Yellow you could have interrupted their duel and so they killed you to stop.

I don't see reds at threats in pvp.

I just see them as Ap to be farmed.

It's a 3-way war, bound to happen occasionally. I favour no alliance outside my own but I have worked with blues on one occasion. It was back on thornblade after about a month of really bad behaviour from reds. I logged on one morning expecting to see a red map again but to my surprise blues and yellows had snapped and decided to teach reds a lesson. It was a bizzare but fun experience fighting side by side with blues, and a bit more of a challenge to target reds and not blues in the madness. It was a one-off though, normally in 3 way fights I target the closest enemy regardless of faction, and I try to push the winning side (unless they have active emp train).

Was fun times

CatchMeTrolling

Lol people never admit to the green alliance, better off not mentioning it. Seen guilds work together just to kill EP in Haderus, thornblade, scourge, skull, chillrend etc.

I've even been jumped by ad & dc members multiple times. Both sides tries to farm EP, rarely pushing each other in populated campaigns.

Then again a lot of people are pugs & don't really know about the politics that happens in this game.

kevlarto_ESO

Collusion in this game is worse than we can imagine it seems, I see Blues hanging out with reds and yellows hanging out with blues, and not fighting each other, faction flip flopping has really made the three faction warfare in this game a joke really. Sad but true

A big reason this is true is the bad game design which makes it more profitable for good and organized players to hunt opponents less effective than they are. There doesn't seem to be that many competitive rivalries. Not as many as there should be, at least. Perhaps a little among guilds who play the map.

This would be different if the game designed encouraged these players to fight each other for the best rewards.

Guilds like Haxus and Khole should be great rivals. Instead, I've actually seen them farm Fare together.

Vaoh

Meh, not a big deal.... I know I've fought some very powerful AD soloists before in interesting situations where a group a 6-12 EP will show up and try to run us over with AoE. 90% of the time myself and the powerful AD will quickly team up to try to burst down the group, then /Salute and head our separate ways.

What you saw here were probably some skilled friends teaming up in a small group vs large groups, which you happen to be in at the time of the video. Seen the situation with any mix of alliances.

Not sure of the entire guilds teaming up business though. You sure they actually do that or are just pushing to steal your Scrolls?

TequilaFire

Well I look at it like it takes them teaming up to keep us at bay!
All just more ap.

Ha, on Trueflame, the Pact flees when real Covenant players take the field

Serjustin19

I thought the same. That alliances working together was a myth. Until 3 times My friends and I . Who play on PS4 EU servers. Before ourvery eyes. Reds and Blues were working together. 1. Before Scourge Campaign closed down. 2. 2 days ago in Haderus. 3. Yesterday at Haderus as well.
