My extremely random thoughts on PVP

Well, since my girlfriend decided to break up with me (again), I had a lot more time than usual to play the last few days. I decided to spend all of my time doing PVP. I realized that I'm slightly less terrible at this than I originally thought. There are plenty of people out there who are substantially worse than I am - which is awesome. This game could be so amazing if they could, idk, do SOMETHING about the massive lag and the 32 times that I was dashboarded. I get the complaints about class balance, but I could actually live with that. I'm not getting all of the whining about Nightblades on here. I think I got that "achievement" of killing 100 Nightblades in one day. I don't know if that's a function of squishy - or if there are just so many Nightblades out there. Oh, and for all of you who complain about EP running zergs -- REALLY?? Every faction does the zerg. All 3. All of the time. I did see a few smaller DC groups comprised of crazy good players who absorbed the damage I dealt and wrecked me repeatedly with the teabag seal. At least the lag wasn't as bad then, although I wish it had been. Oh, and when I'm in one of those keeps where there are like 300 players, I can almost never use my ultimate. I just press till my fingers bleed, but nothing. Is there some skill that prevents that, or is it the Lag Ultimate?
PS .. I love PVP.

This is the main issue on pvp right now, also the gap closers exploit, but they can be easily countered if they do that with experienced players. Most of the complains right now is l2p issues.“Kings of the land and the sky we are; proud gryphons.” Stalker stands, the epitome of pride. Naked and muscular, his wings widen and his feet dig in as if he alone holds down the earth and supports the heavens, keeping the two ever separate.”

✭✭✭✭Here is the evolution of a Zerg.
- Solo, get ganked by a Zerg of 3
- Start group of 4. Build it to group of 8. Zerg down the first group of 3.
- Run into a Zerg of 10. Spam roster invites. You now have a Zerg of 24.
- Your 24 man Zerg takes 3 inner keeps. It becomes a Zerg of 45 as the randoms take notice and begin to surf your Zerg.
- You now have a monumental 50 strong Zerg of death and you complete 5/6ths of the inner ring.
- Your Zerg then finds every single player on the server defending the last keep. Your Zerg gets crushed by a 150 person Zerg.
Morals of the story: Any group larger than yours is a Zerg and everyone does it ... except for 11 people on this forum who pretend they don't, but really do.7 -

Lol at some point everyone realizes that tharlere's AP to be made... you can choose to get 1k every 5 minutes by solo ganking or join a group to start rolling in AP at the keep or resources. I don't think this choice should be judged really.Skye Cloude - Sorc DPS, Master Crafter. Main, the bestest
Lae Lenne - Templar Healer Trial grade.
Dromede - Stamina Nightblade, she's a newb and doesn't know what she's doing
V'oghatta - Stamplar pretending to be a tank
Ulville Thonvella - aspiring Fire Mage, be careful around her fire sticks!
Dromedaris - lost and not found. Named after a shoe, what else can you expect from her? A proper tank in her wildest dreams
Swims-Naked - too pretty to grind, too silly to quest.
Sun Flair - Dunmer Templar that can't spell for life. To bad she's too broke to afford a name change... Well, at least she's pretty...1 -

We certainly understand how upsetting being dashboarded or disconnected during a big battle can be. Though rest assured the development team is working diligently to make Cyrodiil a more stable environment for all, one step at a time.

Hey thanks. I'm not really bummed about it though. I don't play any other games whatsoever, so I don't know if the disconnects are common. I will say however, that when there are literally 60 people all bunched up in a keep spamming all sorts of stuff, I'm not surprised when it disconnects. I hope it can be fixed. At least the disconnect saves me from seeing the teabag.0 -

Ha! I just copied and sent this to her.0 -
Jazbay_Grape✭✭✭✭Also, the group dynamics are fun and, um , interesting. I can go from being in a group that is just relaxed and chill about playing a game and having fun to a group where the leader dude is all like "WE MUST GET OUT THERE AND FIGHT THEM IN THE FIELD ARRRGGGGHHH". Those guys crack me up. I mean, there is 10 of us and 70 of them, but .... ooook chief.0

.... Except for the ever-decreasing population of players like myself who actually do run solo, and only solo when in PvP. Not zergsurfing either. Simply running alone and fighting alone.
Only very rarely do I fight alongside other players in PvP (such as when a solo player or small group of 2-4 is outnumbered and going to die from being zerged down).
So yeah.... some people do play solo. Believe it or not, 1vX is possible as an actual playstyle instead of just for making videos of rare scenarios.Edited by Vaoh on July 26, 2016 1:49PM0
