Can be funny or anything
Thought it'd be nice to share our cyrodiil experiences

Was with group with a ram on front door. Enemy was getting ready to aoe bomb us, but i meteored him as soon as he jumped down. It was like the meteor slammed him into the dirt.

One day I went to Cyrodiil. Buffed up and equipped my zerg surfing set (all gold 5x transmutation/5x spell power cure/master resto staff) ported to Sejanus. I ran down to the bridge and got killed because it was 10 EP and approximately 7 trillion AD. I tried to resurrect and got stuck in a 10 minute loading screen.

Then I left Cyrodiil.

This actually happened yesterday: myself and probably 10 other AD were knocking down the outer front door at a DC keep, and as soon as the door went down there was an enemy just standing there on the other side. He got bursted down almost instantly, but there was that brief second of "oh crap" as he just stood there and stared at us

In cyrodil making my way to IC, got zerged by reds, managed to kill some of them while kiting, got zerged by another red group in the back, they danced on my corpse and *** my mouth

I jumped into middle of huge EP-group
Thought I'll win because I had ate soup
Too bad 3 of them used eye of the storm
Rest were permablocking in legion form
Then I got hit by procs and few light-tag
Thing that finished me was good old lag

Did some cyro-quests and was send on a mission: Just before entering the dungeon an enemy player appeared from inside. I usually do not kill enemy players while questing in Cyro. Just a matter of: It may be war, but at this moment we both just try to fullfill the quest given to us, right? So he was the one starting a fight. (and lost)

On my way back I encountered a second enemy player who dismounted, approached carefully (and blocking) and we exchanged some hails, bows and music before we parted.

Feels good to know others think like oneself.

Uh oh, I got another one:

This was long before one was able to capture towns.

On a stroll through bruma I noticed an pact player taking down the anchor, solo. She wasn't on full CP and seemingly had a hard time so I decided to help a bit. Using bow light attacks I pulled single targets from a distance without getting too close for disturbing her actions. Just before the last round of enemies she must have seen me and placed a few ranged attacks on me.

She probably realized that this wasn't a good choice of action, or she noticed that she wasn't really able to dmg me and got scared, because a few seconds later she took off really fast. Leaving the unfinished dolmen as it was.

A few friends and I came across an AD player soloing a dolmen. To be nice, we joined in and helped him fight. Throughout battle, he continued to crystal frag us, 'accidentally' drop an atro on me, and so on. At first, we chalked it up to him accidentally targeting us and not the horde of clannfears. But when everything was clear, and he was still zapping me, we changed our minds.

Right before the boss dropped, we all swarmed him. He didn't last long.

I always find it funny when people zerg down single players or small groups then teabag as if they accomplished something. Hell, it's usually the people who did no damage doing it too.

Delimber

...Watching the chat at folks arguing about whether or not to push for emp or retake keeps....

Watching 25 EP/AD/DC show up to retake the resource I solo'd....

Solo sieging from hard to reach places, poor Glade earlier this evening lol.

Taleof2Cities

Well there was that ONE day on Haderus (NA PC) where AD had one of our DC scrolls.

Avoiding the higher DC numbers, the scroll carrier decided to jump into the lava fields by Chorrol.

Scroll carrier promptly died in the lava ... and dropped the scroll.

DC players took their turns in the lava field trying to pick up the scroll ... some promptly died.

Fighting between DC and AD soon stopped ... so that everyone could look at players attempting to retrieve the scroll.

Whole affair was interesting for another 20-25 minutes ...

Most players eventually left after 30 minutes.

Finally, about 5 minutes before the scroll reset, a DC player managed to pick it up and return it back to the scroll temple.

I've gone to the Imperial City for the last five or so days in a row. Every time I've gone there, I've walked around for a bit, farmed a decent pile of Tel Var, and then been absolutely plowed by a Covenant zerg. A few times over, in fact.

This is more the: "OMG-I- can't- believe- I- survived- this"-category that is making people (like me) love cyrro.

I recently decided dismiss the bow in cyrro. Simply because I felt that my original aim to use bow in cyrro at all, i.e. staying alive at all costs while having at least some fun in cyrro, is no longer valid. So I got rid of marksmen and changed gear and skills to DW only. Last thing to do was a stress-test of skills, gear and playstile so I joined an ongoing fight at bleakers ...

When I arrived the main doors just opened to my alliance and a good number of attackers prepared to rush in, whilst an equally (?) but definatelly: good (!) number of defenders prepared to oil- and grill us. I have to admit this was the last time I thoughtfully did anything during this battle: I popped barrier to get me and some allies through the main door and rushed in.

Wildly pressing buttons of my new (and at this moment untested) rota and running franaticcally from one side to the other, I actually managed to stay alive and reaching the 2nd flag. My allies turned right to rush up the stairs. I don't know why, but stuborn me decided to turn left instead. I remember I still had the thought of: "Oh shuks..." before I found myself dodging an oil attack and making it halfway up the stairs right into the middle of an enemy group rushing downstairs. Amazingly enough I did popp a potion, pulled my shields and actually attacked before some enemy knocked me on the head, so hard I went down to my knees.

Well, i guess you know this situation... usually its only milliseconds away from a death recap BUT NOT THIS TIME! On my knees, with no stamina to break free, no magika to heal me and a little-to-nothing health left, I survived. The enemies had just rushed onwards leaving me to my fate.

When I got up, I rejoined the battle. Admittedly, not thoughtfully planing any attack I still managed to take down a few enemies and dodge or turn some close-to-die situations. Hence stress-testing the new skills and setup.

... no, the bow remains dissmissed.

The typical Cyrodiil experience.

*checks weekend vendor and leaves before getting a loading screen so long I disconnect from inactivity*

Camping Cheydinhall quest givers over a year ago when me and my wife were still low level noobs

There was a higher level guy helping out his lower level friends (I assume), and me being a nightblade kept picking the noobs off one by one

Then we got rekt by the higher level guy but we kept coming back because it was fun

Myself and another AD decided to try and ram the main gate at Ash,so killed all the gate guards etc.and deployed ram.

Eventually it dawned on us that it takes 3 to use the ram!

Being at excatly same situation. But on other side of wall. Few times.
I remember when I was defending EP castle.The wall was taken down and I saw trillion AD players ready to zerg me. My face then was priceless. It was a mix of terrify and excitement.
I had enough time to even said "I'm so scree...."

Full respect for DC at non vet campaign. I remember about 20 players who was gather at mine tower. We needed to crush whole tower to take them out

inflaburwb17_ESO

Playing EP... the large group I'm in just recaptured the Arrius wood resource. We standing at the flag, while our leader decides what the next move will be... when suddenly this single DC NB appears in the middle of us, tries launching an attack or 2 against the group. Needless to say he was killed so swiftly I don't think I even managed to get a hit in.

Then one player in my group just drily comments "Dem balls"... and that was me in hysterics.

FloppyTouch

Found three deer near the AD side floating in trees took every bit of will power from my friends to not kill them so I could get a screen shot

Birdovic

I fought a Templar, who just didn't want to die.
Then, after some time his (2000) friends arrived and tore my body apart with elemental storms and proc Sets from all directions.

THE END.

Some times I suicide dive bomb into large groups and tag all of them and die and don't Rez . This gives me enough time to get a sammich and a cup of tea while a Zerg runs them over and I still get the AP .

I got kicked out of the server with my character, so had to force shut the game down. I restarted the game back up, re-logged in on the same character and spawned around the blues keep (was on a yellow character at the time) problem is everyone could see me, but I was in the floor??! the whole map had not loaded so there were no castles, or buildings. All I could see was the people and the floor above me.... Took it as an advantage point, and managed to kill some blues in the keep while under the floor. Using wall blockade it kept unbalancing them for the other yellows at the door to burst on through and take the keep.... As much fun as it was being able to infiltrate all the castles without knocking walls down, I decided to restart the game again to get the graphics back....was one strange glitch.

Best one for me that happens a few times is using toppling charge, go into a load screen and came out of it dead in Deshaan.

Oh and feels like I've spent the day fighting over Arrius lumber for some reason because it's such a strategic point on the map.

PVP sucks ass
