    Go cry somewhere else, maybe under your pillow where no one can hear you. This is getting out of hand with all the whining.

    Still want to know what faction campaign and server

    Why can I not have this information

    I mean, I might come pay a visit, is that a bad thing?

    O_o

    Thornblade, NA

    Waitaminute. I know you. I might have killed you yesterday. I'm a little fuzzy on which faction you've got on Thorn. :p

    Play on ps4 currently ebonheart pact ;)

    Ah, no, I killed some Ebonheart Pact in there on Thornblade on NA PC. Would have let them leave... but, no... they also hadn't learned, "never turn your back on a Khajiiti Nightblade no one knows is there." :p

    Im Vet 11 on the west coast so only time i can go and there be nobody is around 4 a.m. No way am i doing 10 hours of quests for cads gold for 3 levels. Nothing makes me angrier then walking in and seeing a level 10, 17, 13 and a bunch of vet 2s taking the kills.

    I suppose the next thing you'll say is a Veteran Rank 14 player sitting in a Lv7 Dungeon in his own faction just killing the enemy hordes in a specific area for the sole purpose of doing it for spits and giggles which also keeps people actually there to grind or kill the enemies for a good reason is ok?

    So what you're saying is that you want more low levels in there? Awesome! I have a lvl 10. I'll see you there!

    Well lol there are other better places then craked wood cave non pvp(not the risk of being killed and lose exp boost time) so i dont really see a problem with it. I just think you are lazy for not looking other places to geind if that place is occupied or just group ip with them and aoe them togheter. XD Honestle.. that cave is *** when it comes to exp gains anyway. And everyone thinks its such a good place so there are red and blue players there all the time interrupting.
  • simena9292
    And anyway.. i dont see the point in all this grinding. Sure i grind a two hours here and there.. but not so much.
    Vr14 atm. But for uss console players, the cp points is not going to go over skilled players. Skill as a player will always be better then having 10 more cp points from a grind. Just saying.
  • simena9292
    And now that they are going to put a cap on cp points per expansion there is absolutly no point.
    Worst case scenario is that you get demoted in cp to the cap and all the other players take there time and enjoy the game more and end up exacly at your cp level xD.

    Next time I go I will look for the Posted/No Trespassing sign

    Make sure you look to see if it is clearly posted in the correct legal way according to the laws of that particular zone's ordinances. Otherwise we might have a problem.

    This is an MMO. There are going to be other people around. Some people are annoying, the rest are doing the same thing you are and have a right to do so. But are you sure this is the only place for you to exp?

    OP complain is silly. First come first serve.

    What is annoying, are people who barge in to a cave where you are already in group of 2 people and they just pretend you are not there.

    Upon making sure they are not there just for skyshard and boss kills, you ask them kindly to leave and explain why by being there and tagging all your kills (because waiting till you pull group of mobs and then just poking one aoe on them is tagging) are just wasting your and your friend time AND their own time. Of course after that they either ignore you and dont reply at all or laugh into your face.

    People have 0 respect to those who were somewhere first and 0 respect to grindspot etiquette.

    I hate my new neighbours all build houses around my home. It's too crowded to live like that. And that's a waste of my life as well as theirs. I asked them nicely to move away, but they just laugh or ignore me.

    Sometimes I can't actually believe some of the crap "gamers" come out with. Are you seriously getting territorial of a particular spot in a game? You signed up for sharing "your spots" when you bought an MMORPG.

    Its one thing to going territorial on a spot no matter if someone is already there or not. Claiming a place 24hour/7 just like that. Its wrong. First come first serve is common and proper approach in MMORPGs.

    But its completely different thing, claiming a place when you arrive there and there is absolutely noone there. There comes a basic MMO etiquette that anyone who comes in after person who was there first, should respect their presence there.

    Why don't you just report them to Zos, and let Zos deal with them by banishing them into oblivion or sth.

    I am glad for this thread, it explained the optimality of two person mob killing.

    One question though, does it work that way if you are not in a group together?

    Yes, it does work the same way no matter if you are in group or not.
    1 person ok exp but slow
    2 people ok exp and normal rate - optimal setup
    3 people bad exp and too fast kill - reduced exp, overkill on spot, wait between resp further reduces exp gain over time.

    It would be nice to have it work only in group (so you get exp drawback only if there are 3 people in group, attacking same monster). This way we could actually have multiple teams working in same spot, and the only drawback would be eventual overkill and depletion of spot.

    I actually stumbled upon CWC not long ago as I was exploring Cyrodil. I went in an grinded a while without realizing it was supposed to be some sort of hot spot (I did notice it was unusually crowded) . I didn't see what was so special about it. IIRC, I didn't get much XP out of it--and I was there for quite a while. So maybe there is some secret to getting extra XP there that I missed. But it didn't seem like anything special to me. It was mostly just crowded.

    Nice OP :)

    You're going to drive a ton of lowbies to your kill zone and drive up your PVP kill count - well done!

    There is supposedly a +10% xp boost if you're in a party of 2. At 3 members it turns into a penalty.

    Its hard to hear "Cracked Wood" and not think of something semi-pornographic
    Everyone knows the phenomenon of trying to hold your breath underwater - how at first it's alright and you can handle it, and then as it gets closer and closer to the time when you must breathe, how urgent the need becomes, the lust and the hunger to breathe. And then the panic sets in when you begin to think that you won't be able to breathe - and finally, when you take in air and the anxiety subsides...that's what it's like to be a vampire and need blood.

    Cracked wood cave is the best cave if that means anything. I wouldn't mind a few quest but hell... seriously. I might log in to upgrade my mount I suppose.
