Considering this game advertises as a large scale pvp game I wouldn't call 24 people a zerg, in fact my opinion of a zerg is 25+ with a similar intention. For example 24 people is one group, never a zerg in my book. 24 people with a couple people not grouped with them following them around could be considered a zerg, but not in my opinion. When you see a 24 man group and another group coordinating at the same location that is infact a zerg. Each faction has done it, does do it, and will do it in a large-scale pvp mmo that focuses at an attempt at rvr in Cyrodiil.

Translation for less educated: Damn dem baddies be bad for zerg'n me so I couldn't keel peeps off der horses befo dey cud du notin!

Two zerglings checking in ^^.

The problem is there is no zerg buster.... Siege is to slow for a tight group and the skill they made does no dmg. There is a need for a skill that forces people to spread out and does exponential dmg based on the number of ppl it his for example.

Alliance war ultimate to replace Warhorn: Zerg buster bomb Ultimate(or some better name):

10m Radius
1 player hit with zerg buster bomb takes 500 fire damage
2 players hit 1000
3 players hit 2000
4 players hit 4000
5 players hit 8000
6 players hit 16000
7 players hit 32000
etc...


Effects if 5 or more people are hit with zerg buster bomb:
Damage from zerg buster bomb removes all sheilds.
Damage from zerg buster bomb reduces movement speed by 50% (other affects cannot prevent loss of moment speed).
Damage from zerg buster bomb reduces healing by 50%.

Soooooo you only want it to be the most OP skill in the game right? ;p What should be done is something similar w/ prox det. first 6 targets hit take 5k damage next 6 take 10k, 20k for 18 players hit and then 40k for 24 players hit. This would allow for organized groups that dont run a full raid to be able to heal through the damage but if they clump together too tight it would be almost certain death. Also i like the idea of the effects but should need to hit 16 or more people. If theres that many clumped together then it starts to become a problem in terms of lag but any less and players shouldnt be penalized for running tight and following crown. A solid group doesnt need more than 16 players anyway.

OP is a ganker who will literally outnumber you 4 to 1 as you are riding your horse.

I was accused twice for zerging in the past 2 days. First time was when a ganker who will remain unnamed, but chances are, he's tried ganking you, whiny-whispered me because he was mad my group of 8 people weren't going to allow me to be ganked on the way to a keep defense. He was talking my ear off for a good 10 minutes about how I'm bad because I zerg. If you know me, you know I literally protest zerging. I absolutely hate it. A skilled player doesn't need to depend on people around them, but can take care of themselves. Of course there are times where I cannot live on my own, and I die. But being GM of a guild that likes to PvP a lot, and running a teamspeak server, I'd prefer to run around Cyrodiil with my friends, which are normally around 10 people (on a good night.) So if playing this game with my friends and not allowing them to be ganked makes me a zergling than so be it.

I zerg play in a 24 man group and gank. Ganking one guy in the middle of a 24 man group is fun. Yes, you probably die after the gank but sometimes you can get away.

24 man gank group?
You could like actually take objective and bomb with a group that big.

Edit: Anyone else has problems btw with weapon switch lately? Sometimes in a fight it just won't switch while there is little lag.

yea actually. i didnt think much of it just thought that i THOUGHT i weapon swapped and didnt. but its been happening far too frequently for user error at this point. not sure what it is.

It sucks though. I think I use surprise attck, but instead I use some stamina draining wrong skill

It was a bad sentence (im dutch, not English) but I ment I sometimes am in 24 man group and sometimes I solo gank (or with a few others, but not in a group)

But a great idea.. a 24 man gank group would be fun.

Ganking is by nature picking off players in ones or twos. Why would you need 24 men to do that?

It happens sometimes. One time I was running to someone on a horse (the enemy was on horse, I was on Senche) as I wanted to kill him. Then suddenly I was jumped on by 24 stealhed AD who probably where planning a 50/50. But I run my Senche through them and the killed me. I was like HOLY SJ*T and it was fun.

But yeah 24 gank squads seems overdone unless you want to gank another raid.

I try to get 5 or 6 to 1 if at all possible...

Yees I do!!!! It's the only way to hide my complete lack of skill.

I think the OP just wants some good fights, you know some nice 1v1's to 1v3 fights. hes out in the travel lanes looking for a challenge, not to be chased down by a zerg over and over. just because you cant face the OP in a 1v1 it doesnt mean you need to call in your 24man zerg.

If you are "out in the travel lanes" then you are putting yourself right in the middle of high traffic. Of course you are going to get "zerged". The timing of your original post leads me to believe you were upset because you were trying to pick guys off at Ales in the middle of a big EP/DC brawl with a mid sized AD group added to the mix.
