Introducing Inner Fire - Player-Driven Battlegrounds Guild On NA PC

LeifErickson
LeifErickson
✭✭✭✭✭
What is Inner Fire?
Inner Fire is a new guild created to host player-made battlegrounds.

What are battlegrounds?
Battlegrounds are organized PvP encounters with even teams, terrain boundaries, unique rules and objectives, and a clear winner and loser. We are currently focusing on 3v3s and 2v2s, but plan to move to fights much larger than that. We have many cool locations already picked out for fights and also have lots of different game modes we have in mind as well.

How do I get an invite?
Anyone is welcome to join the guild, no matter your skill level or CP rank. We plan to host fights in Azura's Star as well as Haderus to experience different types of PvP and allow low CP players to be competitive. For an invite, you can whisper the current (hopefully growing) admins of the guild if you are NA PC. Their @ names are @LeifyEric, @Lyn-Alara, and @KenaPKK. Or you can whisper any other person in the guild as everyone has invite permissions. If you are already full on guild slots, you can join the Discord channel by following this link: https://discord.gg/p2zvzuJ

What are the rules?
When playing casually, following the rules is up to the fighters. However, we have a rough draft of rules we would enforce in tournaments. These rules were designed primarily with 3v3s and CP in mind and represent 3v3s and CP the most.
Rules:
  • No immov pots
  • No poisons
  • No shield breaker
  • No Malubeth (temp ban for bug)
  • No Selene’s (temp ban for bug)
  • Max of one instant damage proc set per build
  • No changing of cp, gear, or skills
  • No destro ult
  • Must start the fight with 0 ult
  • Each player has to play a different class (magicka and stamina variants of the same class do not count as the same class)
  • No resurrecting teammates
  • No siege

What is the goal of the guild?
The goal of Inner Fire is to create an active group of players who want to play ESO in a competitive and even numbered setting with rules that support skill-based play. We hope to be able to host even numbered fights at the smallest and largest scale of ESO. We also hope to provide a place for players to practice and get better as well as host tournaments for prizes. The main goal, however, is to have fun! We have had two events so far that went very well and what I heard the most from people was how fun the fights were.

What if I don't have a team?
Solo players are more than welcome to join the guild as it is very easy to find a teammate or sub into an existing team. Lots of people in the guild love to play with people they have never played with before. There also tends to be lots of duels going on while people wait for their next fight and watching the fights themselves can also be a lot of fun. Bringing your friends to an event is always welcome as well as you do not need to be a member of the guild to participate.

Can I see an example of what an average fight looks like?
Here is a video of a couple fights I recorded at the last event we had so you can kind of get an idea of what a fight looks like.

    These gatherings have been a ton of fun. Glad to see the guild growing so quickly after being formed.

    If you're interested in even numbered fights where success is contingent on coordination with teammates instead of brute force, you'll have a blast.

    We are looking to expand into some creative game modes, interesting terrain variables, and playing in Azura's soon.

    We would be glad to handle the logistics of organizing medium scale fights like 6v6 or 8v8, or larger.

    Have your folks who are interested in participating or acting as representatives for your groups mail one of us (listed in the OP) for an invitation to the guild.

We will manage the logistics to make even numbered, organized fights of any scale happen in any location on the map if your groups would be interested in such encounters. Rules for your fights are to be determined between the participating teams in larger scale engagements.

    To be honest, this small-man 3v3 style is basically a miniature version of the current group meta. You're still waiting for and playing around ultimates. Just not a destro ultimate.

    So, you're still just 'pressing R'.

    I invite you to come play with us. There are many PvP cultures within this game, the depth of which we cannot fathom until we step into other play styles and experience them for ourselves. I have a feeling we'd have a lot to share with each other. :)

    I rekon @FENGRUSH would want in on this to. Probs would be interested in a good 8v8.

    Also, you wouldn't ever want to go above 12 v 12 for the bigger fights.

    Wherever honestly. We have hosted our last couple gatherings in Had, but a few of us are aching to try out 3v3s in Azura's to restrict stats a bit more. We expect to host weekly scheduled gatherings in both going forward, and we're down to organize larger gatherings when/wherever if guilds want to do 6-12 man matches.

    Also to be honest, I enjoy playing without CP more than with it. Damage and defense feel spot on to me, both slightly lower than with CP, but neither offense nor defense can last forever because sustain is limited. I don't play in Azura's much because the populations are inconsistent with DC being dominant most of the time, and the players are typically less experienced and less challenging. I bet organized fights against better players, like these, will be a ton of fun without CP.

    Exactly. Also our gear and a certain ult aren't doing all the work for us. :wink:

    No need for instancing if we put a little initiative into organizing matches ourselves.

    This is a pretty oversimplified comment. The game has always revolved around ult combos. That isn't some "current meta." Destro ult defines a meta because it is lethal to even properly build players without proper combos or forethought, and its mobility combined with unblockable and undodgeable damage restrict counterplay. We exclude it because fights are objectively more skillful without it in the picture, which is true of PvP at any scale.

    Come on by and play with us! :smile: The fights are really quite challenging when distilled down to three people with some of the game's crutches out of the equation. They really test your individual survivability, mechanical ability to pull off combos, and especially your group's communication and synergy.
