Sometimes it is not taking a target that is the potato but how it is taken with selected side and seige communication.
In this case: Foward Camps!



It's so close to near perfect symmetry that I'm almost disappointed.

This is killing my OCD, like.....4 meters to the right, come on!!! lol

Since I don't eat potatoes because they are pretty much a "filler" with very low nutritional bang for your buck. I can't relate here to all you starch eating fans.

However I was told the other day that Haxus imploded and splintered. Long gone are the days of Hektik and his wife Jules teaching their 12 year old son Dignified Mouse the zerg ulti-bomb life. So now the leftovers formed a new zerg ulti-bomb guild named after the dragon in Game of Thrones (my condolences to Jorah Mormont for the unfortunate forced association), led by Sneaky Pickle aka Tommy Pickles from Rugrats.

I also found out that this new dragon named guild is comprised of ex-pats from EU. Rumor has it they were tossed from their former guild for "reasons". All I really have say is did anyone check their passports?

If you want to actually play come to Sotha Sil. We coordinate, help each other out and generally git it dun.

This is a picture of DCs Zerg, it is full of small potatoes.


DC would be so much better if they responded to zone alerts faster and have players guard front doors of keeps. To me every zone alert called out is a threat, no matter how big or small it is.

Just to add to one thing you said, though I do agree for the most part, I ignore a lot of 911's in zone from ppl I don't know because I got tired of porting to the so called 911 distress messages only to find 30 of my alliance fighting 5 of the other at a resource.

Too many people spam 911 when they see a small group.

This is why I call out number of siege and location. I never ever refer to the phrase 911, since it's so badly over used, plus has a growing amount of bad stigma attached to it.

If the situation is really dire, I usually say so and I my message is short and to the point.

You actually get information in zone chat? Xbox NA Vivec is mostly just back and forth misspelled infighting and threatening to beat each other up both in-game and IRL.
It's incredible how many hardened gangster criminals spend their day playing an MMO.

That is funny. I might have a few gangster criminals on my ignore list.

I re-rolled AD last summer when DC was full potatoes and gate camping others. I did it so I had more 1vX potential.
Now I have Ruin Gaming to thank for ROFL-Stomping Vivec with their 100 man groups showing up to every single small cross swords that pop up on the map.

I sincerely apologize for AD.

If it makes you guys feel any better, I spend a lot of time blasting them in chat telling them to go back to WoW where they basically did the same thing to World PVP.

Have you tried leading a PUG and helping spread fights out across the map?

This is what Telel has been asking all the zone generals to do ever since the Griffs declared that any group lead by a humble khajiit was a zerg. Even if that group was just a single khajiit in size.

Especially sinde the Dumbminion never has more than a couple of group leaders at any point. Well, none trying to win anyways.

For added fun the usual answers to that question involve words this one can't use here or the zone general in question running off to hide in a red flavored zerg.

Ruin Gaming is a blessing. It's like fighting EG all over again but this time I have destro and VD.

The only trouble is they discovered how to siege.

Ruin Gaming, the guild that lives up to its name.

When you absolutely MUST have 50 people on the flags of a PVDoor keep.

When will you guys just let guilds play and have fun their way without attempting to degrade them . Seeing guilds from all factions doing silly things that are not productive towards a campaign and never complaining no matter how infuriating it is for other people . Some are here to just have fun and as Telel kindly put it , if you do not like the way things are happening , feel free to take the lead and make some change .

Montayva

There is a difference between degrading someone and a constructive complaint. Whilst both are happening in this thread i know for a fact that a few of the complainers are in fact people who take the initiative to organise the faction (On EP side) to get things done.

If the way one guild plays to have fun ruins the entire experience for others they are more than entitled to speak up about it in order to reach a compromise or at the very least let others know how certain tactics and play-styles are toxic for the health of pvp

I love Ruin Gaming. Mmmmm... tasty AP.

How do you know how many they have anyways?

You're supposed to be chasing this one across the map no matter where they go or what they're trying to do to an elf's face!

And after all those times Telel was like "Hey it's aggies! Let's let him chase us a bit before we let him kill one or two of us."

Ok then let's discuss EP double and triple stacking raids to take keeps . Is that going to be constructive or a just a big bunch of denial . Let's discuss EP PvDooring the whole map at night last campaign .

In other words , like I already said , you all do it . I'm just going to respectful and leave guild names out of it . Because #1 numro uno , I don't give a flying piñata what EP does , it's not my faction to worry about . If someone in my faction does need to be asked to be more helpful , it's done in private . On the forums it's just disrespectful .

MrSinister213

OP doesn't realize many of us are here for PvP, player vs player. Some of us are looking for good fights. We don't want to roll in a 24 man ult train guild outnumbering our opponents. Some of us PvP looking for a challenge. I understand OP and his friends are the pve types that come to cyrodil to get their Grand Overlord titles, many of which never return to Cyro after they attain the achievement. You play your way and we will play ours.

Most of the EP guild-stacking and pvdooring is in response to DC shamelessly doing it the past couple of Trueflame cycles over the course of Homestead patch.


When was the last time Aleswell was a last emp keep with no DC emp? EP have to defend Chalman as if it were a "last emp keep" against DC faction stacking at least several times a day sometimes. One of those times even allowed AD to crown, hence this thread. Another of those times helped ensure the AD Emp remained crowned for an additional 16+ hours.


I'm actually very pleased with the organization EP guilds have shown recently. Pact Militia often coordinates with Dracarys & Invictus in zone/yell chat to ensure they can split up and tackle different objectives. I use to always trash on PM, but with what I have seen the last month, they have truly improved as an organized guild.

Why have forums then if not to discuss issues such as this?

This. I get it though. When their players have the skill of about 1/8 a normal player....I get why they roll around in a ball of 100.

Also, anyone bored can do a WoW forum search I am fairly certain Ruin got a bunch of 3 day bans in WoW for intentionally lagging out the server during the launch day of an expac. It may have been Dreanor (I quit around then) but it was a quest NPC on a boat and their entire guild would just sit there spamming AOEs to lag everyone out and to kill all opposing factions that logged into that area.

The point is, there is a clear difference between a guild having fun their own way, and a guild that intentionally takes advantage of unintended mechanics (in ESO's case, the poor performance in Cyro) to grief other players. They legit did stuff in WoW to lag people out of the game. That's how they win.

I'm not interested in leading zergs, sorry. I have zero interest in playing the map. I admit it. I like the large open world and the "freedom" it provides me to roam and small scale.

Sallington

If it's not happening between Ales farm and Chalman mine, then it's of no interest to me.

Maybe Ash milegate to Nickel if we have Chalman already.
