Zergs in the Imperial City

imredneckson · July 2015

One of my greatest fears for the Imperial City is the zergs. I was playing in the NA mega server trying to protect our scroll of Ni-Mohk and with in not even 2 minutes of entering the gate the EP AP farm train has grabbed the scroll and have taken off running. Now think about a zerg of 40+ like the one that took our scroll enters the Imperial City well great a nice small confined area with a lot of players gathering their hard earned Tel Var Stones. That sounds like a great way to start off the Imperial City zergs killing it for everyone and the farm train just keeps farming. End result they have everything while we have nothing and the release will be a bust. ZOS please figure out a way to keep zergs from ruining the Imperial City like they have the rest of Cyrodiil.

It's going to happen pretty much guaranteed. If people didn't like dying out in cyro they're really not gunna like dying in the city. At first someone is going to keep dying to a group of 4 so they get 6 or 7 of their friends and go kill the 4 man. Than the 4 man isn't happy so they got and get 16 people and the group size just keeps growing until were going to have raids sitting at the base of the enemies tower running around killing all the bosses so their members can never die. While 24 ma s in open pvp are bad they can be avoided, however in imp city its much closer quarters and there is very little places for people to hide.I hope this isn't going to be the case but from what I've seen tonight its already headed there.

Totally agree. The Zerg mentality is already very strong in IC and its only going to get progressively worse. The lag was bad tonight, its about to get so much worse...

Sneaky, you make it sound so complex, but I pinky promise to be more efficient. I'll come bring a 24 man blob when it's just you, cuz I'm considerate like that.
