*various pics and gifs*

My reaction when it's 3 way pop locked and yet there's little to no lag where I'm fighting:

I turn into Vladimir Putin, remove my shirt and dance. It's very strange, doesn't happen often.

...this is a huge problem. It's worse than Ebola or Lady Gaga. Combine that with nightcapping and the world is going to end. The only solution is for the servers to only be open from 6pm-10pm central standard time everyday. That way its only open when I'm home and not sleeping.

What I dislike about Cyrodiil is that players from an opposing faction always try to kill me.

I thought this was a horse riding RPG but apparently people want to fight and stuff.

Stupid, just stupid. Stop attacking me, otherwise I'll quit and no you can't have my stuff.

@ZOS_BrianWheeler

Since you seem to have been resurrected recently. How about you let us know if ESO will ever get new PVP content...

Another good spoof is "Scary Movie 2" but u have to watch the first one or the plot won't make sense

Why don't we just hire the invincible guards from 1.6PTS towns and have them just kill all players. Or better yet have these gaurds go and kill all the daedra then we won't have to play at all. Problem solved!

Wrong. The real problem is capping. Keep/resource/scroll ownership needs to be locked 24/7. That way ppl wont be discouraged when they log in and look at the map. My solution is the fairest.

With capping being impossible, Ohh Tick will be exposed for the lie it is, and Dee Tick shall reign supreme as the sole deity of Cyrodiil.

Or we can set up a table where each faction gets a turn at holding the entire map!

Monday - AD has everything
Tuesday - EP has everything
Wednesday - DC has everything
Thursday - AD has everything
Friday - EP has everything
Saturday - DC has everything
Sunday - everyone has home keeps and everyone Dance's/RP's on Alessia bridge

@TheLaw‌ There will be PVP additions eventually like Imperial City, but I have no dates for when that will be at this time.

I heard Paul Sage say no Arenas planned for PVP at all in the podcast . That made me feel sad .

How dare those Australians and Europeans enjoy the game they are paying for!!! Its detestable!

Actually I think it is great. One of the great things about mmo's is their ability to bring groups of people from all over the world and make them into friends. Maybe guilds just need to consider building an Aussie/Euro/American wing (or alliance) in order to keep their possessions in Cyrodiil.

I am feeling profoundly indifferent about this topic.

Daycapping is bad.

Jahosefat · February 2015

I think battleground-type additions would work better for eso than an arena. I have loved (and have recently returned to) arenas in other games but I don't think it will work well in ESO with the way it is currently balanced (they would never end!). Maybe in the distant future things will be in a better state for arenas, but in the next year I'm more hoping for a battleground-type addition.

@ZOS_BrianWheeler‌ Give us some sort of arena / battleground system while you're at it! The zerg-fest is fun and all, but a small-scale PVP option is needed.

The problem is faction population disparity, not people playing the game.

The off-hours folks don't even really get to play, since they take everything with feeble resistance, but since the game population levels are so unbalanced, their inevitable consequence is that people in the lower population faction have a frustrating experience.

I logged in for lunch today at 12pm Central time, and EP was poplocked on Thornblade, AD 2 bars, and every other faction in every other campaign was at 1 bar.

I would estimate that EP has about 2x the regular PVP population as AD, and 4x that of DC. They can poplock multiple campaigns at the same time.

In that scenario, its highly unlikely for the outnumbered factions to have a good time. Its fortunate that keeps are so easy to take, emperor titles so meaningless, and winning campaigns so inconsequential, because no faction but EP is ever going to win a seriously contested campaign until the status quo changes.

Note: You can see AD's pop disparity on the PVE side in how AD was forced out of Haderus when it became a competitive campaign, and simply moved into Azura's star and took it as their buff server away from EP. Now DC and EP fight over chillrend all week because AD has many more PVE guilds interested in maintaining a buff server than either EP or DC do, so neither can legitimately contest Azura's, and Haderus is a real campaign.

DC just doesn't have the active high level playerbase for either of these things.

Isn't Cyrodiil a survival/crafting game?

Now, if I could only hunt down a deer to use for meat and skins...

Azura's Star should be shut down to at least bring the AD population of real PVP players back into competitive campaigns. If the general consensus is that the PVP player base is too small then we obviously have excess campaign capacity.

Wait till after March when the freebies return and console players start joining. Everyone will want to be a dragonborn dunmer or nord and population imbalance will skyrocket. There will be some elves and furries for AD too and it's possible angry joe's army might return and zerg for AD.

Nobody will want to be a redguard.
