prose08b14a_ESO✭✭✭ZOS is going to drag this out long enough to sell enough console versions of the game before they stop doing the bare minimum to keep their subscribing QA Interns working. Right now they are only interested in adding as much "Skyrim-ish" content (Constellation based Vet system, crime system, more NPC guilds, etc) to game in order to sell more copies come the console release. Once that is done then we will see the game development disappear as all those who would benefit from the revenue begin to cash in their chips.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭Of my 4 DC guilds, not one was fielding a TB group tonight. The groups have been getting smaller over time, and lately just 1 or 2 guilds are in, but tonight - nobody. First time (in primetime) since Thorn opened. Every guild chat had the same theme "why bother?" and "it's just not fun anymore".
I myself went chasing Generals and fishing achievements. Yep, fishing was more enjoyable than primetime pvp as a dc. And I logged off 3 hours earlier than usual. I'm already not motivated to log in tomorrow.Edited by Reverb on December 9, 2014 7:12AMBattle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. ~Friedrich Nietzsche0 -

Well, I was trying to be magnanimous.
Strangely, LoM activity has been high. I think it is may be a function of the player base merging into a few remaining active guilds.
Also, TERA?! Surely ESO isn't THAT bad.0 -
Subtomik✭✭✭✭✭I'm just going where the people I enjoy playing with are going. Went out and got myself an Xbox one, going to be doing a lot of destiny from now on.
Also Tera is actually pretty cool so far. We will see if it can hold my attention0 -

I think my biggest problem with you isnt how bad you are, its how you somehow think you have any sort of grasp on how cyrodiil works.
You and your merry band of fools are at best a minor inconvenience, and at worst a disaster.
and if you are trying to imply we run 24/7 lol. Anyone who has any No Mercy members on their friends list will tell you otherwise.

lol Tell me how you think I am bad. Please, enlighten me. And I'm not implying anything about NM. If you hadn't notice I am in their TS because we actually work together.... So whats your problem?Edited by TiberiusTryton on December 9, 2014 8:54PM1 -

My problem is the **** you and your guildies have to say about us and our strategies.
I could go into great depth about how watching you guys in action is like watching a train wreck, but their is no point.
Im sure anyone who has fought TFL can chime in if they would like.0 -
TiberiusTryton✭✭✭And please let me know how taking as many keeps as we do is a minor inconvenience. We refuse to stack HS and pulse so maybe it takes us longer to kill zergs but we turn the map blue more often than a lot of guilds.Edited by TiberiusTryton on December 9, 2014 8:57PM0

Subtomik✭✭✭✭✭what is your question? About how many keeps you guys take? The last time I was on you guys sat at a keep with a full raid while we lost most of the map.

Yeah, now I know you're just fishing because we never do that. Good luck with w/e game you decide to go to. I will still run with NM whenever LG wants to but you don't help the cause

Give it a rest guys. There are few enough players in DC as is.

TiberiusTryton✭✭✭Agreed we kept Arrius blue for hours before Chal turned red, and to explain... if I ever could, was I had hoped the rest of the faction could hold Chal so we could keep Arrius instead of leaving Arrius to help Chal allowing them to get it back. But the faction didn't defend. Once we lost Chal we left and they got Arrius back. Don't see how the entire map being red is on us.0

Darklord_Tiberius✭✭✭✭I think I will give the new WoW expansion a try, I heard it is actually fun compared to Cata and MoP.
I love ESO, but our guild has lost at least 50 fully active PvPers over the past 5 months due to many issues that took 3-4 months to fix. The fact they pushed IC back another update and the lack of anything new in Cyrodiil for at least a year, is the worst return for my investment. They promoted Cyrodiil PvP like a *** in Vegas and only neglected it since the beginning. At least other games I have played alternated between PvE/PvP content every other patch. ZOS has zero consistency and have completely lost my trust in anything they say they will do.
IC is not even confirmed for 1.7 which would go live in April 2015. Based on Current projections: Road Ahead stated 1.6 will go to PTS early January, few weeks for testing, 1.6 will go live late Jan or early Feb. This meaning 1.7 will not hit PTS until March and will not go live until April.
Wait another 4 months only to see PvP untouched again? I think not.
As this post mentions the PvP populations have declined tremendously. Biggest reason that I can see is the amount of PvPers that have left the game. Lag keeps some out, but the fact we have lost so many solid and active PvPers is evidence enough.
It has been fun, but until I see something being done I am going to step away from this game. I leave ZOS with this age old saying, "Actions speak louder than words."1
