Zergs - A Viable Warfare Tactic That Everyone Uses

As much as people hate it when the enemy faction has large numbers and uses those numbers to their advantage, it is a legitimate form of combat. Zergs are huge groups of average joes, skilled ambushers, newbies, and whatnot. In ESO PvP, they are often the other factions' most hated form of warfare. Zerging is actually called swarming in military terms, and is used in actual combat. Counter-zergs or swarms are just as real.
I am an Ebonheart warrior, and I always hear that AD and DC zerg their hearts out, and the same nonsense from the other factions. Truth is that all 3 factions zerg. There isn't that one faction full of angels who don't zerg at all. They all do it. I've seen DC and AD do it to EP, and EP do it back. It's large-scale PvP for ya.

    Zergs are beautiful. Bombard/Seige spam not so much :/

    Just a clarification to those who think that their factions don't zerg.

    I've never had a problem with bomb trains.

    They're doing the most organised PvP out there having x number of members knowing what to do, slot the skills asked for, use them when said etc. That probably takes more listening/leading skill than a kitchen sink zerg.

    We just need ZOS to keep working on bring down the server calls and maybe invest in better servers eventually (WTB EVE Online Tech 3 servers for ESO).

    Most definitely going to need more powerful servers for PvP. The lag is just awful.

    I wish ZOS would be more open about how their servers work. I know there are always comments servers won't help and I agree they're not the magic bullet to fix lag but it would help to have dedicated nodes for Cyrodiil campaigns.

    It's not like Zenimax Media are struggling for money with how well Bethesda are doing, they might want to pump some of that money into hardware updates for ESO.

    in real world warfare it doesn't lag the battlefield tho.

    i do enjoy fighting large number when it's not lagging though.

    Title sounds like something a zergling would say. :trollface:








    But yea, we know and accept that all the factions zerg. It's individual zerging that matters. Resist the zerg! Avoid the zerg! Be your own man/woman/beast and L2p today! :D

    true but there is nearly no lag on no-cp but that has to do with the guilds, as soon as the zergguilds start invading azuras, there is a little lag.

    I don't zerg, but I don't mind people zerging. it's just when people insult me personally or say I am bad at the game when a group of 10 people chase me down all by myself and t-bag me. Then my hatred comes out. I can't believe how many *** I've found in this game.

    Crispen's identity thread has helped me understand who zergs....

    EVERYONE. At some point or another, every single one of us does. Time to stop shaming it and accept it for what it is. And if you have an issue with bombard it only means you're a blinky Sorc who is butt hurt ya can't always blinky your way out of a fight anymore. >:)

    Ahh yes the same Bombard thats been bugged since last November, that i have reported numerous times they won't fix....its easy to kill people when you stack 3-4 snares and a root on them making them unable to move, roll dodge, etc....yup...MLG stuff right there...

    The only way to free your self is if your a Templar Purify will remove 5 effects freeing you, or 2 casts of Allaince War purge and good luck with that with the cost increase they will have peppered you twice before you get the 2nd cast off....no one is allowed to move in ESO, thats the new mantra....
