PC EU Cyrodiil is nearing its end

Whatever are devs trying to figure out with Cyrodiil after the Vengeance test, it will be unfortunately too late for PC EU Cyrodiil.

AD faction is basically non-existent at this point.
Pacts are sometimes active and vanilla as always, meaning populated by randoms or big LFG's, but frustrated by spamming ballgroups taking advantage of latency and poor server processing.
DC is overpopulated faction with ADs and Pacts using faction change tokens to switch there massively on daily basis for easy gameplay of ballgroup leeching.
DC is at this point sole faction pop-locking both CP campaigns for more than 4 hours a day.
Pacts and ADs have maybe 1-2 hour pop-lock of only 1 campaign per day, but with massive amounts of people just AFK waiting for DC ballgroups to go offline.

I don't see a way back from this since I doubt people will buy faction change tokens again to go back to AD and Pact from DC.
Also devs will never understand ballgroups as an actual problem 95% players legitimately consider unfair. They refuse to acknowledge that for whatever reasons.
Toxic pull sets like Agony and Convergence and weird stun effect like Charm are a big reason of Cyrodiil downfall too, completely non-addressed by devs.

I don't get this development. Many people bought the game 10 years ago just for the large scale Cyro PvP and now it's just dead.



P.S. Look at the map and battle victories sometimes. You see a ballgroup somewhere with a score like DC 90 / AD 0 / Pact 0, then don't go there, don't feed them kills, you just support the problem why Cyro is dying. Let them PvDoor, get bored and go offline, no reason to feed them easy kills and have no fun doing that.

Again... avoid ballgroups at all cost, don't feed them hundreds of easy kills while getting 0 kills yourself! Can you understand the concept of not peeing against the wind???

Don't play to serve them.

You die 40 times over every day, you don't get any AP, you have no fun, you waste your precious time for nothing... while they have best time of their lives exploiting bad game design.

Stop being fools.

I sympathize but there's little point posting about it here, because none of those people that switch to the most populous side are actually here on the forum.

Unless one has very low standards then Cyrodiil on EU has basically been dead as a game mode for a long time.

I very rarely play this game any more, but to take one of the last times I briefly installed this game for a bit, maybe 2 years ago now, I happened to install on day 30 of the campaign, so I went in for a bit to get to tier 1 for the transmute crystals. I got to something like 38K AP and was then somewhat shocked that I was on the leaderboard (235th IIRC). And yes that was Grayhost the most populated campaign, if in 30 days there were only 234 players (or is it worse than that and is 234 characters?) on that faction that accumulated more AP than I did in my 90 mins, then it has been dead a long time.

Pretty sure old Cyro is simply done the next time Vengeance comes back, it's hanging by a thread on NA too. The new skill lines give Vengeance its own simple but meaningful build system, which will be a welcome respite from all the inexplicable double spec bows flying around, on top of the inexplicable continued existence of Rushing Agony.

i stopped playing Cyro, first ballgroups cause huge server delays and make game unplayable ,sec ,repeat the 9 resources,3 keeps.kil 150 over and over ,no rewards anymore just sets and transmutes i really dotn need ,siege weapons? lancers do jack nowdays and looks like all run 30k HP builds so no point use them-also i did play a lot last 9 years....
but my main concern is to keep my accounts safe cause very easy a whisper or a chat sentence can become toxic-as it happen many time in the past and ppl tent to focus in a word ,than whole time behavior (had 2 infractions in the very past and i ont plan to get another ) ive spend lots of time and money in game to loose all for a moment of frustration

They need to address the ball groups and heal/buff stacking and they gotta shrink the map down like 20 -30%. Then they might actually have to balance the classes.

I don’t see them taking pvp seriously, I think vengeance is their final answer and they have fully given up on any semblance of real balance
