After having broken a hole in the inner wall make sure you all enter individually and go straight for the flags. Clearing out upstairs is always a waste of time.

when you run 60 deep, this is true

Only the enemy factions roll 60 deep

If you hit wooden fortifications using a fire trebuchet or ballista, you deal more damage.

Duh! Fire DoT!

1) If a humble khajiit points out how you're losing on purpose, make sure to keep losing on purpose.

2) Keep wondering (out loud and with lots of agressive name calling) why you're losing even as you do number 1. After all doing number 2 makes things so much better.

Rule 102:Fire at the side door, not the wall for super powa damage

Why do groups do this? it bugs the hell out of me. Takes twice as long to take down a wall

Think its safe to assume only new players and PVErs do this. If you get to Sergeant doing this you must have all forms of chat turned off.

You don't need to beat your opponent, you just need to stack more players on the flag than them.

11. EP always has and always will have the big zerg

If you and your 20 odd group of people are headed to attack a keep and you happen to spot a lonely opponent wandering around you MUST I mean MUST abandon your objective and chase that player half way across Cyrodill. Flex those group muscles boys.

Optional: Hang around his body for 10 minutes in case he has a buddy waiting to revive him.

Make sure to brag everyday about how you enjoy solo play and hate grouping. Completing objectives such as capturing keeps and scrolls suck. It's much more fun to go all by myself in transit lines stealth and wait for people to ride on their horse to one shot them. If the one shot fail before the target get dismounted and gain control of his character, immediatly engage retreating maneuvers and run away. If people get mad at my actions and group up to kill me, they are idiot zergers and the reason why this game will die.

True story: Ran into a large yellow group just outside Fort Rayles today on my VET3 sorc. I ran for it. Thanks to battlelevelling, potions, streak and sprinting I made it all the way back to Fort Glademist. The entire group followed me about half way. By the time I got to Glademist there was 2 left STILL trying to kill me (a VET 10 and a VET16). They were STILL trying to kill me tunnel visioning me outside of the main door while 2 other factionmates and the NPC guards made quick work of them.
I couldn't stop laughing.

Cool story. Just one thing though. This thread is about sarcasm, in case you missed it.

I realize that I just wanted to tell my story. Thread is humorous story is in the same vein. No-one likes a smartass >_>

Groups of 40+ become ideal for ganking 1's and 2's once they stealth.

AD Rule #263 - Even when every home keep except Alessia has been taken you must defend the bridge at all costs.

There's only one correct order in which keeps are to be taken (AD version):

Faregyl -> Alessia -> BRK -> Arrius -> Arrius Mine

Ep~Hive mind, almost always in a zerg. Motto~ Mess with one bean , and you mess with the entire burrito

AD~ Elite's, They're the min maxers, and have min maxer racials, so while you can take out 20 of them the "21st" one can take out 12 of you by himself.

DC~ The individualists, Everyone in this faction doesn't stay on crown and just goes about their business till something bad happens. Then they all run towards the objective from every corner of cyrodil, like a rain that just doesn't end.

I've watched entire raids of EP run off a cliff and die. the only survivor got up and slowly resed everyone so I knew it wasn't a blood port.

I've seen AD elites wipe entire groups... in IC 3 AD elites took out 19 people without even one of them dying. in Cyrodil I've seen AD elites organized into a gank group.. "gank a full group"

DC... proof is in the last 7 months ive been playing DC lol


Seriously... play the game and Think about these generalizations and "realize" how true and weird it is. o.o
I mean EP ALWAYS is Zerging. 24/7 groups up, and I've only seen single EP's a handful of times.

AD. I've seen bait and switch tactics, ambush tactics. And have fought many that 5 vs 1 just isn't enough to kill them. I've seen raids of them that 3 of them drop stealth and flank the enemy then start running while the bulk of their force drops stealth after we take the bait and Prox dets us to death lol I'm disappointed that basically all the min maxers end up in this faction due to the racials. but it is what it is.

DC: Are just EVERYWHERE... they really are. I can run in any direction and go anywhere on the map at anytime of day and I will run into Fellow peeps. But when stuff gets serious and a threat has to be dealt with they all communicate and everyone starts riegning in. sometimes entire pugs of 60+ people not even in a group will show up to deal with something. Problem is, sometimes you need a hammer to deal with an issue, and not a constant trickle of players.

Everybody on AD is a solo player. Revert back to the 20 NBs and one fire siege up. I promise you Rylana didn't get that from DC or EP. AD probably has the largest pop of NBs in the game. That or AD is the easiest faction to farm, because nobody is grouped, and AD has either the most or second most pop out of all 3 factions.

Well I didn't say they are the Zergers. :P said that had remarkable elite groups. if AD didn't form large groups at all and just pushed with organized gank groups (instead of just farming kills) they'd own every map, everywhere. I can totally see the whole situation you have there tho. Idk, I'd say for solo play that DC has you beat there. we spread out then rain in. AD and EP I could run around all day and never run into one. ( I literally have) If I run on the roads it's an AD gank group, if I run to a Keep it's another EP zerg for the 120th time today.

DC tho... is freaking everywhere. doing their own thing. Take my point to heart. Go check out the fishing spots for a minute. they're probably out there "fishing, right now o.o"
