Does PVP-RP exist in ESO?

Lyserus

^This
Guilds fight for castle and holds outside of cyrodiil by dueling each other until one group killed all the members of the other group
Any guild(s) doing that?

EDIT:Nobody seem to see me mentioning "outside cyrodiil"..hmm

Yes, it occasionally occurs in Cyrodiil ... but I haven’t heard of any dedicated guilds.

Best to keep RP sessions to off-peak hours, however ... since during prime time PvP players are needed for the Alliance War.

A lot of PvP players are extremely dedicated to just one Alliance, sometimes to the point where they refuse to make characters for any of the others, that's a form of role-play.

I don't know if anyone stays in character while doing PvP though, I imagine it would be quite difficult since you'd need to talk to people who will not be in character and will be talking about things like DPS, lag, using voice chat etc.

You could probably meet up with another guild to arrange fights, but I'd suggest you do it on an emptier campaign somewhere out of the way of the real fighting.

Most of my "role play" is playing loyally for the Pact, and we fight other guilds while capturing, defending, or heading to/from objectives, as presumably they do the same for DC and AD. We're not going to hesitate when it comes to mowing down "dueling" groups if they are mucking around an objective we want, you know? We've got a campaign to win! So if you want to duel or do structured group fights where PUGs or other guilds won't interfere, somewhere out of the way is probably best.

Blood for the Pact!

It's called the "Tea Bag" and the extent of the RP interaction.

Well there's the death recap. You can re-read the exchange.

Yes we rp at the golden vendor imaging she brought all the good boys and girls in pvp nice gifts.

IndianaJames7

Yes, for some people, but not necessarily in the way you have framed the question. I only play EP because BLOOD FOR THE PACT etc..

Also, sometimes when I get really baked I transform into a 'true stealth blade' and just practice being around large groups of enemies while solo for extended periods of time while invisible without actually attacking or alerting anyone. On many occasions I have cloaked into the middle of zergs, ran around for a while and then ran away back into stealth behind some rocks without anyone ever knowing that an EP was there. I find it funny and entertaining, sue me... xD

This was a year ago, but I imagine you're talking about something like this?

Isn't that what happens in those campaign-specific forum threads?

InvictusApollo

The only PvP roleplay I've seen was a lot of toxicity and hate towards members of other teams.
Sometimes someone shouts "for the queen" or sth like that but that is all.

Oh! Well let me clear that up for you.

Pvp outside of cyrodiil is for pansies.

ArchMikem

Four years in-game and I've never come across PvP Roleplay. (oddly enough, any roleplay in general has been a rare sight for me) But yeah I can imagine it.

casparian

Well we used to have Publius. That guy was extraordinarily committed to his RP.

That would be a Dueling Tournament.

Generally if you want one, you have to organize it. They happen, but its not a regular thing AFAIK.

That would actually be pretty cool. Like 24 on 24 people all paired up randomly and starting duels simultaneously. Fighting over belkarth wayshrine lol or other random battlefields around the world.

ThePedge

On PCEU there is Brindle Liberation Front who are a bunch of quacks.

I tend to RP that Cyrodiil is Functional and Fun

If you aren't turncoat then you are PVP-RP.

As others said above, myself and many others make characters on only single alliance.

For the Dominion!!!!!!!!

Kadoin

Yeah, the RPers are the only ones enjoying the lock.

DUTCH_REAPER

I never looked at it from that standpoint.

Canned_Apples

He was hilarious.

There used to be a guild for an Imperial Legion rp-pvp

Bobby_V_Rockit

Shouldnt be, as no PvP’er is loyal to any faction. Becoming emperor and winning means to de-throne their active alliance ruler, which is treason.

Cant very well be an Aldmeri loyalist if you’re trying to overthrow the queen and become Emperor yourself now can you?

Edit: typos

SosRuvaak
