I just want to lock the Sotha AD PvDoor crew and the Shor EP PvDoor crew in a campaign together.

Easy. Yellow would flip the map while red gets Cyrodiil Cave Delver/Cyrodiil Angler/farms TV. Then switch, repeat.

It's basically what yellow and red do on Shor already.

I must miss the parts when AD flips the shor map. But I do have Cyrodiil Cave delver, so....1/4?

Used to be fairly common a couple months ago. But I guess I'm behind the times; it's been between blue and red recently.

Yes, that's fair...and actually now that I think about it, that's when I got Cyro Cave Delver! So much easier with convenient ports around the map.

Well we’re back to the EP emp zergs.

Im kind of glad I have to work tomorrow and just logged. I was getting to where I had no qualms about dog piling on targets because they would do the same to me.

Most players will not only happily zerg you down, but they will chase you across the entire map to accomplish that feat.

When I first got on and we had not many numbers; I pretty much used that to jus keep them over commit numbers for just me at resources. I need to work on my LOS game.

Los is tough when half the time the game lags out on you or cc break doesn’t work or whatever. This game would be amazing if it performed as it was supposed to even 75% of the time.

New one I saw yesterday. Shuffle not getting rid of snares or giving immunity. Always great when you’re getting zerged.

I'm telling you, Xv1 is where we're at our best.

I noticed this also with FM on occasion.

Skills bugging out at inopportune times is a feature of ‘RNG by ZOS’

DeadlyRecluse

At least imo, this week has been atrocious for barswap lag, abilities not firing after barswaps, potions and ults not going off, etc. etc. More kind of small issues that aren't gamebreaking, but certainly make it incredibly frustrating to do anything remotely difficult. And not always correlated with lagspikes. Game will otherwise appear fine, ping will be <200, but things just aren't working.

Nothing like everyone in group cursing their skills for not going off in the middle of a fight. RIP.

The only difference this time is the bad performance seems to be flooding into PvE land as well. So perhaps ZOS will either finally pay attention or, if they ignore PvE, we’ll finally know that they’ve given up on performance fixes.

So....

@Lord_Hev and I popped back into Shor last night for the first time in about 3 months, on our DC toons. It was oceanic time, just after EP had crowned. We had no Scrolls, only keep we had was dragonclaw, and EP were busy running the last AD scroll back. Well the EP of around 10-15 came and took dragonclaw eventually after a couple of us put up a mighty defense.

For the next two hours the ep group (10ish) went back and forth between Rayles and Bloodmayne as us (3 dc) and AD struggled to get a keep back on the map, keeping it completely locked down.

Is this the norm for Shor now?

Rickter

@Montayva short answer: yes

It was this way from around the time you guys started playing on your AD, through you guys’ break from the game.

There was a 4 week period that an odd trifecta of Krotha/Fengrush/and Palee Orcc were teaming up and combo’ing Shor in which EP couldnt mount any defense against.

That seems to have subsided as i vocally predicted and sounds like Shor is back to normal EP domination.

Vapirko

Hell of a fight at BRK just now. Imagine if ESO could handle that kind of scale without melting down.

Did someone say Guild of shadows?
No?
I'll be on my way then.

The best Xv1ers use resource guards for kills

Adenoma

Hey, at least I chased you off resource. I'm assuming you thought I would camp guards. It's a shame that you got eclipsed early - it's hard to deal with on a magDK and it would have made for a better fight. Can't really blame me for killing you when I saw an opening.

I'm guessing this is what you're referencing.

Lol yes
Eclipse is so (insert terminal near-incurable disease here) against a magdk that by merely putting up my buffs I'm reflecting all the damage and dots back to myself.

Funny, isn't it, how "punishing" another faction for gate camping didn't work?

Vapirko

I’m sorry but in general AD is the most useless of factions who is either knowingly assisting EP or is just completely clueless. Early today EP has emp DC has Ash and AD has Roe and Alessia. AD takes Ash in a two or three to one agaisnt a few DC and EP retains control of the whole map. This is the afternoon. Currently EP has the whole map. AD goes for Ash and camps there. Not Roe not Alessia not Sej or Nikel, straight up to Ash. It’s like y’all want a red map as much as the EP.

Edit: EP zerging around the map then whole night with maybe two small groups of DC. AD does nothing to the whole time, hits Rayels. GG.

Agreed

It is just symptomatic of a campaign that can be flipped by any large sized guild on a whim, and that isn't played for objectives by anyone. Small scale and everything is great, but when more than half the pop is 2-3 people groups flipping ressources to bait or just solo nightblades waiting for others to siege, it tends to be produce a map that doesnt work in anyone's favor but the dominant faction.

I'd also add that even the large group leaders prefer to go bridge fight than go for our native objectives, or a de-emp. And they often seem to avoid combat with the other large groups once they have been beaten once for fear of featuring in an exposed video or something.

Adenoma

Good luck to @Speed_Kills today and Friday.

Edit: brain fart and said Thursday.

Lol. I made the effort to say “in general.”

technohic

Anyone ever get whispers of hacks for using invisibility pots? "nice hack cloaking on a templar pal." lol

Vapirko

AD going 20/20 on last EP emp keep, man is that a beautiful sight.
