Now I know a lot of people probably already have hate in their blood by just looking at the title.
But this needs to be said.
Night capping is just Horrible for PvP. And recently it seems like less and less people play during the day or night time (18-22) and more during Early morning times like 1-5
AM
PvP at launch used to be a beautiful Expierience that no other game could ever recreate, this is why this Night capping is infuriating me beyond expression.
For the PvE'ers and the ones that do not know, Night capping is when the enemy PvP'ers in Cyrodiil,
ON PURPOSE Change their sleeping schedule so that they wake up at about 4-6 AM just so they can get a full group to capture all the defencless keeps to get their (IMO) Un deserved Emporer to the throne, and to take the scrolls of the opposing factions.
This is a really sad and pathetic thing to, which should stop a lot of people from doing so. BUT there will always be the odd few that will do this just so they can win PvP. Right now PvP just seems to be a game of who can stay up the latest and who can have the most poeple online during 4-6 am.
This has to be fixed some way or another because honestly this just ruins the PvP experience, since (Actual example that happend) a faction like the Dc can just win the whole Campain because the nightcapped emporer and Took scroll with a full zerg and 5 am (Multiple times during the Campaign of course). Has PvP really come to just night capping?
Now I know
@ZoS Has mentioned that they are aware of the countless amounts of Night caps and how it is ruining the PvP experience of players.
Im not sure what they are planning to do to fix this but I've heard a couple of suggestion on Zone chat.
A good Way to fix this would be to
Buff the NPC's so that you would NEED a full zerg to kill them (of course this has its flaws aswell as you can kill anything with a couple of ballista bolts)
Another way I found to be not too bad was to Limit how many keeps can be Capped during a night cap, so lets say during 3-8 am only the EP keeps untile Arrius can be capped and no further. This is not too bad of a way but I could see this also causing some problems one way or another.
I've heard lots of other good Ideas on BWB campaign and im sure lots of people have good ideas on how to fix this PvP breaking issue! And if you have one you can always tell it down below!
I hope Zeni will soon fix this as I hate this Night capping BS and it just makes me so mad (even if my faction does it, and will get mad at the people who do it in my faction). Whatever way Zeni will aim to fix this, I hope it is a good flawless way that wont hinder the normal PvP experience and that it will be put into place soon!
Enjoy your New Year!
