Drakelowe Battle Vivec 3/3/2019 A story of Siege, and why we should keep it.

Elf-King Oberon, Journal Entry: 03/03/2019. Mundus system; Nirn.
In my travels, there are many things, objectives, goals, and interests, that draw my attention to battle. Across many worlds, across many stories I have ventured. (Many games). But non so have challenged me more than the realistic siege play and tactical element introduced during the recent "break" and so our story begins...
There I was, battlefield torn, sundered by many opponents. Light dimming....
Then off in the distance my compatriots called for assistance to Drakelowe keep. Accepting my fate, I laid and waited for my opponent to finish our bout.
I choose to reform my creatia at sejanus. As I rode from the outpost enjoying the splendor of trees, having been dismounted by a daring young wolf, I decided it best to continue on foot; this wind carries me, so I wasn't too worried having to run on foot (ALL THE TIME). Upon arrival at drakelowe my attention was drawn to the bodies laying strewed, friendly and foe alike. I struggled to resurrect a fallen ally only to be assaulted by the soldiers of the Ebonheart Pact. Knowing I wouldn't be much good to my fellow soldiers dead, I retreated into the inner keep and called for a tent. A group of soldiers I'm used to seeing on the fields of battle where already there defending and holding against the insurmountable odds that laid before them. We made several attempts to resurrect fallen allies, but all failed. We even lost a few more in trying to lay down several tents. The enemies were watching us at every door, their skill shown by their tactical counter coordination.
Having died in the skirmishes I was forced to reform back at Sejanus outpost, and call for more help. I rode back post haste, avoiding the lovely wolves. As I finally gave the command that we had a tent up, my allies where already preparing a second onslaught and began pushing out, I formed up with the other Dominion soldiers and began our concentrated assault on Pact forces. In the aftermath I had shouted out to ask where they were before we noticed they all resurrected on the west side of the keep in near full force. Amassing for a second assault with what appeared to be more coming in.
In a display of force, grandeur, and hope. I called for fire siege to burn our enemies. I then commanded cover fire ("in drunken elvish"), and gave word to the other ground troops to charge forward, trusting, my teammates would cover us with their siege. Knowing I wouldn't last long I surmised a flourish would be better to inspire my allies off the keep walls and into battle. As the last few seconds of my life began to inch closer, the fell clutch of my enemies before me, and the darkness ready to reclaim my creatia, yet again. My compatriots began to cover me. My health slowly regenerated and to my left and right, my allies were pushing forward beside me. Having led the charge, I called out for everyone else......
You have your reasons, you're talking as we are. I understand the process a bit, so I can understand any fears you may have.... But the vets love it, the lowbies have a shot.... but the vampires are suffering, do something about the fire debuff and let them enjoy Tamriel without fear of ever burning to death. I have always trusted your judgement in the game I love. Our game as you say, and it is just as much yours. I absolutely love RP-walking around, and just thinkin' about the hours spent in programming the sunsets. Trees. Locals, and stories. The game itself is done wonderfully, obviously as coding goes lol, there are bugs. But we're here too, the most of us that enjoy the game give our feedback when we think it best. Floating trees in cyrodiil for instance.
I've read the comments, and I enjoyed seeing my opponents come to the same conclusion I have about siege play. It does indeed offer a new game play element and its to the point I've said it a few times; I can't meatball and meatbag anymore. Well done everyone... Players and Devs alike!. Good show, keep it up, work together and you'll come to a conclusion we can all enjoy
Good luck in your adventures
