I vote that next year, Cyrodiil guards all get to wear Vicious Death on April 1.

VD on all guards, Mage guards get to cast Inevitable Detonation, workers place siege when there are enemies on a flag.

Can we add friendly fire to that mix?

Go to PTS, try a resource. It's no longer brain dead ult generation, but still very doable solo.

This is what i figured. I really figured it would be about as tough as noCP guards. Which like you said, is absoluteky doable

I mean it's not like I can't solo a resource in no CP. It's just a drag doing it on a magdk with a level 5 resource in no CP.

Honestly, it's going to help small groups and solo players who get resources to defend. Our NPCs will be a bit more robust - that sounds great. Right now I basically just take resources to attract players, but in CP PvP I don't count on them for anything besides maybe an eclipse here or there.

Maybe its the trade off for the snare removal and burst heal magdks are acquiring next patch

At least NPC eclipse will grant CC immunity. I was so irritated showing up ata resource on a magicka character to suddenly get that chained 5 times in a row while a snipe spammer was in the tower.

Was anyone at the crazy Bleaker's battle Saturday night? AD held Bleaker's for a couple hours, the next furthest thing North we had for most of the night was Nik or Sej. There was non stop three faction battles going on, it started to get a little zergy but it wasn't like Vivec zergs. It was actually a really cool having AD vs DC vs EP and all factions would wipe each other. A couple times Bleakers was breached or nearly breached but then the third faction would come in and give us enough time to repair the postern and FD. I made a little over 200k AP just fighting people, getting a D tick every now and then. No resource flipping or PvDooring for that 200k, it was amazing.

Right now the EP emp that's currently reigning logged over to their DC and is running DC pugs against AD. Classy.

Guess that's what happens when AD wins the campaign a few weeks in a row.

Joking, I'm just still salty from AD getting face rolled all day every day when I used to play on Vivec.

Adenoma

Yeah. I think that was just luck of the draw with the event. None of the same faces are in there now.

As a side note, the PTS is including Mid Year Mayhem event for testing starting tomorrow. So I guess we'll see that in the near future on live, probably July if it's same as last year.

Only thing I can think of is that they're adding some new things and want people to test them.

Also, no idea about the motif.

• Pelinal’s Boon Boxes drop from the quests that you can acquire in the Cyrodiil towns.
• The special drops from the Simulacrum of Molag Bal in the Imperial City were slightly increased.
• Pelinal’s Boon Boxes have a chance to drop Transmute Crystals.
• Resource nodes in Cyrodiil yield double their normal results.

Relevant changes, for those interested.

Sounds like I should work on my bombbladed and watch Molag bal.

I, for one, will be ganking the 2x resource nodes deep in DC territory.

I love how they took the pve QQ and basically bathed in the tears and brought yet another reason for PvE folks to come in.

haha right!

I generally try and resist the urge to just outright slaughter the PvEr's when they're out questing. But there's been times when I've rode through and they've provoked me. My patience is getting more and more thin.

The best is riding in and peacefully taking your towns flags back. Then some enemy player tentitavely watches you and you can see the gears turning in their heads, should they attack? Against better judgment, probably due to the fact that you haven’t yet attacked, they start spamming bow light attacks. You give them a couple freebies, but the someone else joins in and youre forced to kill them both. And then the choice hate whispers start rolling in and they only have themselves to blame.

Super fun time being emp today.

Thanks to all the AD who pushed for me. Thanks to @HaroniNDeorum and Panda Force for bailing me out at Alessia. Thanks to LOM for showing me that you can have an equal number of Earthgores to players in group and still wipe. Thanks to my fiancee for letting me be a bum for a vacation day.

Had some fun against you guys at Alessia on that resource.

Why can EP and/or AD consistently field 8-12 man groups off hours consisting of at least a few organized players and DC can barely manage to get 3 pugs? Where are all the DC AU/Asia players?

Are you talking US day off hours? Because I think overnights they often are there. Our faction does quite a bit of night capping. I couldn’t tell you if it’s strict DC or emp flippers though

I think in general, DC might be the least populated faction not talking PvP appearance. Prime time in Cyridiil they show up but I think through the day on weekdays is where it shows

It would be like 2-3am to 7-9am EST. At this time there’s always usually either an AD or EP group or both moving over the map to emp trade and very rarely even a small handful of DC. Usually just me and one or two randoms or I’m alone. I occasionally enjoy the challenge and I have a feeling these groups would quit if met with an equal force, but it used to be that Shor had a small handful of dedicated DC at this time and idk what happens to them. Once in a while we a fun group of maybe 5 DC but usually not.

Yup, it's also hilarious when I have defensive rune up so when they hit me with said light attacked they instantly get stunned, giving them a second to rethink that decision. I've had have a couple times where they broke free and then retreated as if they expected a couple light attacks to gank me.

The sheer volume of Earthgores proc'ing last night was like fireworks on the 4th of July!

That Alessia battle was really awesome, probably lasted 30-40 minutes from breach to D Tick.
