Deadliest Keep in Cyrodiil: Fort Aleswell

Sounds about right.

Those numbers are 10x what I would have guessed and more people died in BGs than Cyro I didn't realise they were so popular now.

That's some pretty awesome info! Genuinely surprised by the stats.

That because it’s the only aspect of pvp that actually receives attention. At least over the past 1.5 years

DeadlyRecluse

Fire Drakes are only the deadliest BG team because they zerg so hard in the off hours.

Number of players disconnected:?
Number of exploits:?
Number of bugs introduced:?
Number of Siege Weapons became inoperable:?
Number of Abilities failed to fire:?

Any chance of those stats?

LOL That was my first thought. The Chalamo is famous for constant fights but Ales is definitely pushed consistently across all campaigns, and amplified by lower pop ones where DC does not fill as many.

Dont typically have to ride a horse back to your next death in battlegrounds.

703k keeps in 2 weeks, there's 21,060 minutes in 14 days, so 30 keeps per minute 24/7? Even across all platforms, both servers and all campaigns, fat chance, come on @ZOS_GinaBruno these interns are embarrassing you guys.

Edit: Actually midyear mayhem was only 11 days, so 44 keeps flipping per minute....

You have to remember, they made BGs base game now. I found them a lot easier to complete the kill achievement in than Cyrodiil as well.

This is an awesome article! Thanks for sharing. I, personally, would love to see more statistic based articles like this from time to time.

Keeps and resources, though that still seems excessive.

However, I suppose that 703,162 keeps and resources total, divided 6 ways platform/server, then 6 ways per campaign, over 12 days, is only 1628 keeps and resources per day on each campaign. Now realistically, we know the more populated campaigns did more of that number, so take it with a grain of salt.

That still seems a little high, but IDK.

Number of AP lost due to the above issues?

Marabornwingrion

245k districts captured?
You mean exploited by cross alliance AP farm?

Integral1900

Even as someone who personally doesn’t enjoy pvp I have to say... those are some seriouse numbers

I'm curious, for siege deployed is that counting the same siege weapon multiple times (EX: I deploy my Ballista, pack it up, redeploy it somewhere else == 2 deploys) or unique siege weapons?

Between 2 and 4 am, all teams are hardcoded to Red so they capture all the relics and chaosballs. Deathmatch ends in a draw but you have to sacrifice something.
Don't post this on the internet, this is confidential.
Welcome to the Red side.

Shadowmaster

As in years past, Daedra were spotted working ancient group magic in Imperial City that caused adventurers to move sluggishly in Cyrodiil.

The Emperor has ordered his advisers to implement a plan of resolution, but whispers in the street snicker that this has been said for many years and nothing has been done.

Shadowmaster

Adventurers have been seen around Tamriel asking if they could buy the secretive Wizards of the College of Business Intelligence a few tankards of mead.

spectre303

Can we get the stat for "Number of crashes" and "time spent in queue"?

this was a joke metaphor, comparing the results with complaints for the other pvp styles' red team....it is a great joke too.

DarcyMardin

Cool stats! I’d love to see more of these for the game as a whole. For example, “this weekend, X number of world bosses were slaughtered, Y number of dolmens were destroyed, Z number of pledges were completed,” etc.

Adernath

A very interesting statistics would be a table classes vs classes win/loss ratio in duels (only one half of the table is necessary of course).

With enough statistics it would indicate how balanced the classes are.

Kinnahz

Length of time in Loading screens or time spent queuing to get into a campaign would've been good too know also

Agreed. Or, at the very least, one of these after the holiday events for fun. This was a cool idea for an article.

Highest que position recorded:?
Number of people whose que time exceeded their play time:?
