whitemage you made it in the wrong section, it belongs in alliance war & ic...
everyone, please get this closed asap and restart over there
i'm not playing much on SS these days because I'm levelling some non-nightblades on kyne (which is actually a hilarious experience)
Oh! Oh! Yay! It's my turn to continue this doomed thread. We in no CP land are a salty bunch that never can seem to behave ourselves, but man does it make for a great read. When you think about it, it's rather a silly policy; as if we need another layer on anonymity to hide behind. Is it a right, or is it a rule? If it is a right, let me try this:
I, WhiteMage, a player of ESO who frequents the forum provided by ZOS, hereby waive my right to not be named and shamed in this thread, a nonCP-based PvP campaign thread, and other like it. I understand what this entails and will take responsibility for defending my own ego against those who wish to assault it in threads pertaining to Sotha Sil at large. I request that the forum moderators not remove references, implicit or explicit, of me or my characters whether that be positive or negative with regards to my dealings in ESO.
Signed,
WhiteMage
Now have at thee, Sotha Sil! You are free to attack me! Anyone got the guts to do that up there, too? Feel free to copy and paste.
Ahem, let's have ourselves a nice thread. Also, I'm not going to edit this OP. That up there must remain unadulterated!

It's a nice attempt, though I'm pretty sure you waving your rights doesn't mean a thing.
Besides, all the other threads were closed due to the same group of people. They will still pollute and insult and trash talk in this one... so it's ultimately doomed. I guess they take the mining of salt seriously.

Here are the actual definitions not used with a salty bias
Zergling= outnumbering your opponent(s) by a lot usually doubling their size due to lack of skill
Nightcap= Capturing all of the keeps when most people are offline usually around 5am Est. (There's nothing wrong with pvping at this time and even getting emp if you want but the wrong thing is to go after home keep because all you will fight is npcs and not get any pvp which is why you are in cyrodill right?)
1vX/small scale= A rare and dying play style that requires actuall skill because 99% of the time you will be fighting outnumbered (as you can see above^ People don't like this play style because they hate losing to smaller numbers because they can't accept the fact that they are bad)

A valid and legitimate tactic to defeat an opponent. It is generally advisable to defeat your opponent with the least amount of effort possible. If you want a fair 1v1 go play a fighting game, or perhaps go duel?Nightcap= Capturing all of the keeps when most people are offline usually around 5am Est.

Vice the alternative of not being in Cyrodiil at all? If a player is in cyro to PVP and gain AP, and PVP is not available because the time they wish to play, then that leaves them to only gain AP which you can do by destroying doors, walls and NPCs. Seems their objective is met.1vX/small scale= A rare and dying play style that requires actuall skill because 99% of the time you will be fighting outnumbered (as you can see above^ People don't like this play style because they hate losing to smaller numbers because they can't accept the fact that they are bad)
Neither dying nor is it rare. It has proliferated tremendously over the past 2 1/2 years. The overall quality of the 1vX/Small scaler has been dramatically reduced (i.e. the bar for success has been lowered) over time but there are still quite a few hanging around out there.

In real life yeah you are right I would never go fight 5 people by myself but this is a game and you have unlimited life's, but if you think running around in a Zerg and spamming 1 ability is fun by all means go ahead (lol you want to kill your opponent with no effort so why are you playing the game if you are not gonna be doing much in it)
If you don't cap all the tri keeps it will encourage people to pvp and try to dethrone which In turn will give you pvp, worst case scenario go to another campaign and come back in an hour when more pvp is happening

I was completely dedicated to playing nightblade for a long time myself. Then I started messing around with every other class seeing what else was out there. Variety is good, lol. I feel a lot more comfortable with magplar than anything else now. Which class are you trying?i'm not playing much on SS these days because I'm levelling some non-nightblades on kyne (which is actually a hilarious experience)

I'd rather be perpetually bulldozed by 20 players over and over than deal with the incessant infantile crying I get in PMs from select 'notable' players or on a discord for what I choose to spend my time doing. While the two might not be mutually exclusive, they are about as close to exclusive to eachother as I could imagine. Perhaps the opposite is the case for you.
Trying to shame people into not getting into a large group and dominating a map that was designed specifically for that purpose with rewards (emperor and campaign score) that specifically promote said activities is simply a flawed method for arguing for more competetiveness.

I'm currently levelling stamplar (Heibel). It's fun, I'll stick with it. Not a big fan of mag classes though, can't get into them. I was - still am - sorta burned out on SS entire. Somewhat looking forward to bringing stamplar out in the vet campaign, but for now Kyne's "more comedy than actual" type of pvp is quite entertaining.

Hello, It's been a while. I just wanted to pop in and clear some things up then return to lurking in the back while I read the forums for entertainment.
- I'm currently on break (for lack of a better word) from the game simply because I'm working over the summer in another city and couldn't transport my entire computer setup via bus.
- I DIDN'T get banned for cheat engine as some players have began to say, I didn't get banned at all. I've never used cheats, macros, exploits, or purposely bug abused for a competitive advantage because I simply don't need to.

Hey, it's been a while
No hard feeling from last time right? You ignored me after I won that 3v7 vs your group but it's still good to see you're still playing, EP needs more population last I checked.

On another note, I've somehow managed to keep getting mentioned in-game and sometimes on forums in relation to my guild by players who have an issue with us, the way we play, or dislike us on an individual basis. I've heard things such as
- Being called the infamous word "zerglings" which makes us hypocrites because denounce that playstyle
- Saying the guild is nothing without me
- Saying we are bad players (although everyone calls everyone bad so who cares really)
However, To that I have to say I'm quite proud that my guild is living up to it's name, every new recruit always asks "why has everyone started tbagging me recently?" Which I find hilarious but not surprised about as well, people don't like to lose to better players so the "salt" is expected. The one thing I can say with 100% certainty and genuinely is that Salt mining incorporated is currently one of if not the best guild on Sotha-Sil right now for how much we do with how little people we run with. Unlike other guilds in the past who have made such large claims based on how many keeps they can capture with upwards of 50+ people and how their faction is the highest on the scoreboard, I recognize this is a flawed and biased system with little consideration for the opposition and the holes in the current PvP model (for Cyrodiil). Instead, I base this claim off of the many encounters we have with other guilds and groups over the past months when I was there and even now when I'm not. Also, unlike other guilds, we stand by our word for being a tough group of players to fight and a force to be reckoned with and are open to any challenges (group or duels) in Cyrodiil as we always enjoy tough PvP and love to learn more and get better.

Kyne is good PvP. Cheap and mellow to rock around in purple stuff.
