It only takes one blob to clash with another for lag to occur. Until people stop playing that way the lag will persist.

Can we all please spread out this PvP campaign cycle. No more than 2 large guilds per campaign please. Really not that hard for us to fix the lag ourselves....


DO IT!

I agree, I'm also hoping with the console launch that maybe some of the lag will die down as well.

Same thing goes for DiG and TKO

But trials runs are coming up. They can't take out the bosses in Sanctum without those buffs from Azura's.

And Haderus.

And any other campaign they want to blob.

Asking the player base to spread out is pretty much a non-starter. Been tried before and multiple times. The majority of some factions go where they can get the stupid PvP buffs with the least effort. Those buffs need to be eliminated and a campaign or two dissolved. Having what amounts basically to a 2 1/2 factions fight over 4 campaigns means some of those campaigns are going to be dead and non-competitive during most hours of a 24 hour period.

Not if the other DC leaders do it. We can lead by example.

A noble idea except your numbers don't allow you that luxury from what I've seen. The last several weeks I've played my DC V14 toon on both Azura and Chill. Frankly it appears you have the numbers to be competitive for maybe 2-3 hours a day on a single campaign. Last night I was on Azura. There were maybe 12-15(?) DC around (5:00-7:00 c.s.t). They kept beating their heads again Glade and once in a while Ash constantly getting wiped by AD. in the case of DC you're far better off concentrating everybody on a single campaign and getting the new people trained.

I know AvA is kind of failing and DC has been at a population disadvantage but I'm going to just state some simple meta (faction) tips for playing the underdog.

You need to be tactical. If your opponent is massed up (40+) in the open field you shouldn't approach. Wait till they try and take something and either defend it our counterplay into offense. If the opponent tries to farm (ignores objectives and sets up camp in enemy territory) you have to ignore them and hit a target of theirs. Trying to take a defensible position from their horde is going to take coordination, similar man power, and time. If they aren't pressuring your keep or flags they are basically giving your opportunity. if you make a move (take a 12-24 man group out of combat and go hit them) you force them into a chase an fight on your terms, or your attack has a head start and a great chance of success and alleviates the pressure their farm was putting on you.

Every group has a place in cyrodiil. 12 mans can 20/20 a keep and take it from light defenders easily. Sending a 24 man to do that job means less defense, less eyes, and less response. If you only have 2 bars and your 48 man goes to war up north, your entire map is naked to the taking. The moment your opponent recognizes this your keeps are forfeit and your battle up north is to the death till your at your gates.



Stop trying to slay zergs w/ bigger zergs and start cutting it's arms/legs/head off by making it run around inefficiently accross the map instead of letting it sit and fight like a bulldog.

having 2-4 groups (12-24 in size) is way more effective than 1 zerg. But they all have to be fighting in situation where they can succeeed, not individually marchign towards the zerg. have 1 or 2 defend while the others hit hard to defend spots. Send small groups to light outposts at the same time as keeps to give yourself larger windows. always 20 siege. These basic ideas disable your opponents response and give you a chance to not face off vs 48. Even if they ride in you get them at a door or breach instead of with oil and siege inside.

if they do they should demonstrate it instead of getting farmed. > summary

No alls it takes is one large blob just to be there spamming abilities. no need for another blob or anything. they do it themselves, how they can play that way boggles the mind, with low fps and causing server lag. boggles the mind.

You dont even need one blob in 1.6. These well behaved "spread out" members of public raids or hordes of random walkers, thinking they're so bloody innocent when it comes to lag. Yet everyone single d-bag in there uses Meteor as soon as ulti is up and ready. Than wonders why so laggy? Must be a blob on the other side of the map derp? While you have one Meteor dropping on your face or next to, literally every 2-3 second, than death from 60k fall dmg.

This skill alone, kills performance almost as much as a stacking blob.

We never have more than 2 full teams unless someone talks junk, etc. I have seen 4 nearly full teams when we're motivated.

this made me lol...like for real read this and people looked at me for laughing.

Someone complaining about lag in 1 post then no less than 4 posts later says he runs a 100+ person zerg when motivated.
