HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA RIP ESO PvP 2017

You know the saddest thing is ZOS could have stopped this weeks ago by just making a statement saying they will take account action against anyone abusing the system this way.

A majority of players (including me) would have then stayed away and given ZOS less people to have to take actions against when it came to backing up their words.

Now if they want to take action they'll be banning most of the EP population it seems.

This is the culture that lack of action from a developer produces. Many of us have said it for a long time, it's always been little things like abusing skills, gap closers, caltrops immunity, emperor trading, gate bypassing etc.

This is just the first truly large visible case of it.

i were personally very quiet. i moaned where the game is going in guildchat. then i got too frustrated and made this account. lots of my words get silenced by zenimax which makes it worse. but yeah you very right. the culture in eso... makes me die bit inside. constant abusing, exploiting and then ppl blame on things that make them exploit. LOL. most comedy is how casuals/zergers/n00bs get so much hate and blaming here. which is... atm... er was that 74% of the population what ever percentage whoever at zeni picked out of some random data and gave to us.

i am more bitter with each passing wasted month so not sure how long will be around trying to save the world.

this isnt the first. this all started with impulse choo choos and solo dk batswarming. that was the first alarming sign where this game is heading.

Pve wise... it was almost looking good until last year.

Ppl need to wakeup, this game we like to play is going downhill and FAST.

Morrowind isnt gonna miraculously save this. just add some grinding hours which we all dislike so much.

No one cares, this game is funded and played 99% by people who aren't interested in the least by PvP and Cyrodiil.

LOL! That's so sad but so funny at the same time.

Hopefully ZOS will address this in Monday's patch now. I really can't imagine they're going to let this go for another week (on double AP) after it's had this much coverage and use.

Even if they just band-aid and roll back the AP changes until they can put a better system in place at a later date.

If they just made a cooldown on flags, that would be nice. But I'd rather they did it after the event This farming is the reason many players do think of even setting foot in Cyrodiil during that week. Not everyone has a build adapted to non-CP, and not every class is on equal grounds, especially with poisons.

And after that parenthesis, your humble war reporter is back with fresh updates from the battlefield.

@12PM GMT Noon. The sun is high up in the sky, but its light feels somehow fake to us, doomed souls fighting for our home against all odds. The scroll carrier has fallen. All hope seems lost now.

@12:05 GMT I spoke too soon.

Seems the scroll carrier got merely sidetracked with his no doubt interesting real life, but now we're back in business, and the Bleakers watch continues.

@12:20 GMT EP is now pop locked. This is a first one, and an event to document in the history of our people. Our most cynic soldiers comment that it only goes to prove the vile nature of humans, interested in easy gains instead of actual pvp. Many can hardly find fault with that.

@12:30 GMT It has been over twelve hours that your random peasant turned war correspondent has been at Bleakers, with more or less active presence. People have been born and died inside these stone walls. Kingdoms rose and fell in these dark hours under the pale shadow of Maser and Secunda. Emperors fought when they were called and then returned to dust whence they came.

After suffering a series of defeats with a varied degrees of humiliation, the AD Emperor has abdicated his claim. Just like chess, to be King, you have to be willing to sacrifice everything for your survival. Your friends, your family, your allies, random recruits from /zone who come to war in hopes of dying with honor, and even your kingdom in all it's tragic eagle-like glory. I guess he wasn't cut out for this job. But then again who is? Guilt over sending hundreds of soldiers to slaughter again and again until their deaths are meaningless and only defense ticks remain has a funny thing of getting to even the most battle-hardened veterans.



Here's hoping the next emperor will learn from his predecessor's mistakes and not use Stonefist on a stamina dk.

My guess is they were NA only statistics and that ZOS didn't check EU stats.

Also damn it, this is going to get hotfixed at this rate before I can make anything from it, maybe I could call in sick tomorrow...

Doubtful. This is just a side-effect of bigger capture ticks. It's not an exploit, as such I doubt they will make a hotfix happen asap. I frankly doubt there will be any hotfix whatsoever until after the AP event, as they said.
Since it doesn't hurt anyone else directly or give an unfair advantage since ranks are meaningless, and those who do want to PVP can come at Bleakers and get outplayed, it is not that much of an important issue to fix.

As for the "outcry", if you look up the threads about outpost farming as I did, you'll notice it's always the same few people posting. The community overall doesn't feel concerned by this. As one wise poster said, "if they want to flip the flags to earn AP, who cares".

Instead of hotfixing it, theyre giving us a double AP week.

I wouldnt worry about them hotfixing anything.

Well, it happened to DC too. 2 alliances now have more people who are AFK than playing.

And AD is still zerging TF, which encourages even more players to AFk and roleplay instead.

Soon we're going to be at a point were there's going to be a QUEUE of people waiting to get in so they can go AFK...

Let's be fair, not everyone is AFK. They're still at their keyboards and PC just watching Netflix instead of playing.

However yes, it's getting silly now. The pro of that though is I feel now from all of this it will put pressure on ZOS to address the issue, not that it should have required this to have gained attention in the first place.

As an honest to the powers serious question.

How is the lag there with so many players?

@ZOS_BrianWheeler

brian you've delivered a quality PvP experience

AbraXuSeXile

Its such a bad joke lol i cant believe they still continue to let this go.

Not only pvp is being made a joke of the reprecussions is cp, economy, ranks, ap vendors is also made into a joke.

Dunno why developers cant hold their hands up and say yeah we messed up we'll revert it.

themdogesbite

Not selling any AP motifs anymore cause everyone can just easily go to bleaksers instead. Q_Q

If zos does something about this but does not do anything about all the other exploits. I assure you they WILL HAVE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT on the door within 14 days of it happening!!!!

Meanwhile at ZoS HQ

Maybe you can find a Lawyer that will work on an AP Contingency fee, lmao. the Lawyer will get a % of any AP you recoup from ZOS.

I can't believe there are people who actually believe they can sue over losing stuff in a game. What are your damages? Emotional trauma, lol?

Turelus

Wanted to make a post to say I'll be dropping out of the roleplay reporting.

Whilst I have enjoyed the gains I've made (about 1mil AP) it's not really in my character to continue using tactics like this and there is really no more data I can give ZOS that I didn't gather and post the last two mornings.

To the roleplay members who took me in and gave me free access to participate and read conversations even under the knowledge I would post it all here I thank you for your kindness and I will see you on the battlefield some time.

I hope my actions and posts have shown ZOS the severity of this issue and they address it soon, until that happens I hope you all roll a bunch of natural 20s for your AP rewards.
