And I dont understand why so many wants to play camelot unchained..

It's because the main dev that make Warhammer is making camelot unchained. Warhammer was one of the best pvp game i ever played

We have had our differences zazeer because of Goldbrand but despite that it's sad to see GoS go. It's sad to see any guild fold really. Leading can be a heavy burden, I have lead and been pvping since beta so I know it can be a lot to take in. Hope you can just sit back and enjoy the game
Now Rylana.

What is sad is apparently neither do the devs.

Haxus wishes you guys all the best in your future gaming in and out of ESO. We'll see you in Camelot Unchained I'm sure. Both in Havoc and Haxus I barely got to play alongside GoS due to often being in different campaigns, but we respected you guys none the less. The weakest faction has become significantly even weaker which is a very bad sign for the already poor state of this game.

Suprise!
We're secretly rerolling AD and we will zerg you harder than a Panda grips its sacred ball.

Daysie · January 2016

sorry to hear this news, it was always a challenge to fight you guys

as fellow founder Of GoS i am sad to read the news of my ole departed friends,. that the online-game-war may you guys bring ever glory,. and know that even when you guys decide to move on,. your actions, your bravery, your tactics, the fights, the farms, the field battles, and the friendship will never be forgotten

GoS is and was one of the best EP guilds on the NA server

@ZOS_BrianWheeler fix pvp please, you just lost a prime group on your server

*edit* (should edit some melodramatic song under this video,. editing flashbacks from different occasions, but sorry i dont got those skills, so just imagine them with it when you watch our mighty leader)

I think in many cases it's like when people break up, and one tells the other: "You were a lousy screw anyways!"

asneakybanana · January 2016

Damn. Sucks to see a guild that's been around for so long go. Have had many good fights with you guys both against and with. Hopefully one day batzaz will rise again.

frozywozy · January 2016

Sad to see you guys go.

@Rylana - If you ever need help to lead groups on Azura Star I would be glad to assist.

Ezareth · January 2016

I'm not really sure what has changed to cause such general malaise. So Zazeer went casual and there will be one less Zerg running around. Isn't this a good thing and generally what we want? Groups are getting smaller and smaller (With some exceptions) which is good.

It seems the majority of the players in GoS are still playing so the impact really should be minor. Plenty of Red ball groups rolling around still as I fought them all weekend.

hammayolettuce · January 2016

This news just broke my heart. Not because of what a huge loss it is to EP. Not because of what it means for other factions in terms of finding truly competitive fights. But because Guild of Shadows has always been like a second family to me.

I joined Guild of Shadows back in March 2015- when 1.6 just hit. My DC guild was going through some... issues... and I had been primarily playing in Blackwater Blade solo. One day, Zazeer invited my to a Guild of Shadows group, as they had all rolled blue lowbies to play when not raiding on red. I hadn't had that much fun in PvP since Hova left the game, abruptly putting an end to No Mercy. I started hanging out with them in TS, even when I was playing on my blue. Everyone was so kind and fun to be around and they always made me feel welcome, even though I didn't have an EP toon at the time. I truly love this guild and everyone in it, even though I've only PvPed with you on red maybe 20 times. To this day, GoS teamspeak is the one I first connect to and AFK in so I am always around to hang out. I've used it as my personal office enough times that Zazeer made me my own channel for that purpose. No one in this game has made me feel more welcome or valued than the people in Guild of Shadows, and hearing that it is coming to an end is deeply saddening. I suppose everyone will be going their separate ways, but I will continue to be present in TS until Zaz decides to stop paying the bills- just in case anyone wants to drop by and hang out. I love you all and will never forget my GoS family.

I know some have strong negative feelings about GoS, but before VE rerolled and I discovered my life's enjoyment in trolling bulb when Kirsi wasn't available to do it better, I played solo or with my friend books on old school haderus where GoS was the main red presence. To my knowledge, they were the first EP guild to show restraint and would not push past tri keeps and kill the map. Even though it sounds insignificant, when blue had one bar, if I had logged into a map with no blue keeps for the many months between mostly harmless imploding and VE going blue, I might not still be playing. This was during the time EP was strong and gate camping every other campaign, so my admiration for any EP guild was a hard thing to come by.

Furthermore, of all of the 'ball groups' running over the past few months, imo, GoS by far was the most likely to spread during a fight and do all of the things the hysterical forumites say they want groups to do. Many of their core ran tanky and had good solo skills, they'd spread during a fight when conditions permitted and made it difficult to get a good bomb off on them, and they used siege. So, I'm surprised when people focus their anti group wrath on them over all of the other guilds.

When it comes to ESO pvp, I'll remember Jesus beaming galalin from atop a tower because it was my only ranged skill on my healer, him raging about it, it turning into a bunch of duels with his friends and a few of mine, me solo wiping a group of about 8 of them at dragonclaw, dying before I could get the outer to 25%, and him reminding me to stay for the dtick in case it went off before they flipped the keep (was a juicy one...). I know everyone has different experiences, but I have some fond ones fighting them, as do others, hence the general malaise.

MaximillianDiE · January 2016

Sorry to see you go as an orgnised force GoS. You were good fun fights as far back as when we used to fight you in DiE and more recently in K-Hole.

Another nail in the coffin of this game. All ESO will be left with soon is the want-to-be 1vx'rs who are incapable of acknowledging or taking part in the more social side of this game sitting in zone loudly and proudly showing for all to see how far out on the autism spectrum they sit. Even they will eventually wonder where all the other pvp players have gone... Roll on Camelot - if nothing else its going to be where all the great pvp guilds from ESO, WAR, DAOC and similar mmo's converge again (at least for launch).

Cheers Zazeer and the rest of you - see you in Camelot

I agree with this 100%. I've played with so many different guilds and in so many different groups. I'm pretty familiar with the different leadership styles in this game and honestly, I wouldn't even consider GoS to be a ball group. They spread out and Zaz's style of leadership has always allowed his members to play to their strengths and really shine as individuals while working as a team. It was what large groups *should* have been. As many have stated, GoS leaving is a huge loss for the game.

Keiryan · January 2016

I still have a VR14 EP Sorc

;D

EPK-Hole?

LDK can be our mascot

And sad to see another guild collapse. I have to say that of any guild, GoS was actually the one that was going to stand out above anyone in the next patch because their siege game has always been the strongest.. which is a compliment and an insult at the same time because I've always preferred to actually fight with my character.. but siege is a part of the game and they did it well. Best regards and good luck though :>

Manoekin · January 2016

Good luck. I'm sure a lot of us will see you in whatever game you end up in in the future.

Its unfortunate to see guilds go. Good luck guys, I'm sure you all will be fine where ever you all end up.

Fast forward at 15:00. "I don't see why it is lagging, only using 50% CPU". Sounds promising.

He also mentions "nearly 600 people" and they were all CLUSTERED in ONE AREA with at least 30 FPS.
Now how does that look like in ESO?

The graphics look like Nintendo 8bits (Not complaining - I know this is Alpha). Of course you can get 600 players on the screen using mario bros 3 animations.

WRX · January 2016

CU has just begun to increase their visuals and designs. I get emails from them at the very least 3 times a week (aside from holiday times) describing what they are doing, any new employees they are hiring, what new alpha tests will be conducted, and the results from the alpha tests conducted in the past.

When you log into the alpha test you can talk directly to the people creating the game, including Mark.

The only reply I will see from Zos is likely a warning for this post.
