HEAR ME O GREAT WROBEL OF ZENIMAX!!! It is I! Hear my plea!!! If it is within your godly developer powers, cast down the false king named AOE CAPS! Do away with him for he has poisoned the land of Cyrodiil far too long! Let the zergs smash into each other and let us see who is left standing!

Let forsaken heroes such as Fengrush emerge from the sewers! Emerge from the dark and rather quite stinky (you don't want to be in there after Krotha has had too much ghost pepper chili) tunnels! So many heroes fell to their knees in the shadow of Lord AOE CAPS and his dark army. If these heroes weren't sent to the underworld they were banished, cast away, many a name now lost to time.

The survivors forced to fight in the shadows away from the true war that rages above ground. Let the warriors who want to fight for their alliance but were defeated by AOE CAPS to return!

THE COVENANT will win. We must. We cannot allow twisted warlords like Sarenvog to rule! Mojican and Crown are fools if they don't think that if the Dominion is victorious that Sarenvog won't have Mojican arrested and imprisoned. Sarenvog will place his blade into Crown's back and take Parody as his queen. He will declaw Telel, make him fat, and force him to spend his days sitting on Sarenvog's lap on the throne.

And then Sarenvog will raise your taxes.

We cannot allow the red ants to win! A land ruled by an extremely old man in Methuselah and someone who is cloned four times, Hektik I-V? No thank you.

The COVENANT must win. It is lifted into the air by the pillar of Honor and Loyalty, Steve and VE and Wizard Daniel and CN. After peace returns to Cyrodiil I will commission that terribly slow Orc carving the statue at South High Rock to build a tomb worthy of the greatest COVENANT warriors under the very gates of South High Rock itself. Interred there will be legends such as Whispers to Ravens, Bitaken, Saint Columba, Pain in the Axe, etc. And it will be written into the books that the very warriors who fought and died will for an eternity be the bedrock of the mighty and majestic South High Rock gate.

I'm sorry I really am. I know many of you are getting all serious and heated but I read this previous post of mine again and I can't stop laughing lol

Question to everyone: Would any of you care about people stacking raids if it did not impact the performance of the server negatively?

I can never tell if people are mad at the action, of the result. Or mad at the action BECAUSE OF the result.

Me personally, I love stacked raids and taking on >50 enemies at once, unfortunately latency paired with AOE caps just prolongs fights and damage doesn't go through when it's supposed to.

Without lag, stacked groups would not bother me.

Umm i imagine if the game could handle such stacking 90% of the complaints would go with it, as it would allow smaller groups to actually take on larger groups with a chance of winning via outplaying them.

But there will always be those that will complain just because of the sheer numbers, like i imagine solo or very small man groups of 1-8 will probably always complain when they get ran over by 20-100 people regardless if it lags or not.

This is Azura's Star in a nutshell

JaJaLuka · January 2016

Meh, sometimes it's just the attitude of players that is stupid. Four DC players on Az NA defended Ales against a group of about 20+ EP for about 20 mins, got a 2.2k D tick on top of the thousands from the kills. When we finally went down we got T-bagged, which I'll admit just made me feel pity for the EP players.

The first year after release, I blamed Zenimax for not being able to fix their game. Two years later, Zenimax is obviously not the only problem regarding performances. It is the poor mentality and behaviors of those 20-35 group leaders who can't acknowledge that the game cannot support this playstyle and then allow and encourage their members to participate in such devastating act, closing their eyes as they roll on larger amount of players and blaming everybody else.

Absolutely would still care. Zerg to win, imo, means one didn't earn that campaign win, emperorship, spot of the leader boards, etc. If you can't achieve something with 24 freaking people, then you need to rethink your tactics and group comp. If you happen to have a big guild, don't stack the groups, send your raid 2 somewhere else, better yet - go first come, first serve policy for spots.

There's still alot of leaders out there that 99.9% of the time are capping their groups at 16 (not on AZ of course because said leaders like to play with more than 3 fps). It makes the game alot more competitive, challenging and demands your best as a player. It's far more gratifying to know you won the round because you had the skill, not the overwhelming numbers.

It makes the game alot more competitive, challenging and demands your best as a player. It's far more gratifying to know you won the round because you had the skill, not the overwhelming numbers.

My guild runs with more than 8 players only once a week and that specific day I don't run with more than 16 players. Lately we've been running 20-24 and sometimes even with an additional group in another TS channel and hitting some place else.

This is an exception though. For the past month or two I've got under my wings a couple members of other EP guilds such as Sotp and Bftp and I've been trying to help improve their gameplay and change that mentality that the only way to win is to stack more numbers.

When I'm done inviting guests from other guilds (Only Pact Militia has yet to come), I'll go back to 16men groups. Why? Because last week I have been running a full 24men group and I must admit that anywhere I went in Azura, my ping was constantly above 300ms just by the fact that I had 23players following me (large amount of players on the screen). Then as soon as some enemies would should up (5+), my ping would go up even more to 500-600ms. Finally, as soon as we started engaging the enemy, my ping would spike depending of the amount of enemies from 800 to 1200ms.

This playstyle is definitely not fun at all for me and when I was running 16men groups the weeks before, it was much more enjoyable with a stable 200-300ms even during big battles (16vs16). I encourage all leaders of large groups to give it a try. 8 less players spamming aoes in a max pop campaign makes a big difference from what I've seen.

oh for sithis sake, all 3 factions zerg blob and lag everything to death. I have seen it with my own eyes, and so has everyone that plays on AS. Enough with this blame game nonsense, everyone playing on AS is guilty of it, whether or not it is intentional. Just last night I saw an AD blob reminiscent of Wabbajack running at BRK. I saw a sea of DC at aleswell and bleakers, and EP blobs of epic proportions charged at chal constantly last night, with lag conveniently following. I am sick of seeing guilds go at each others throats over it, every faction does it, the guilds responsible are irrelavent. It is not going to stop anytime soon, as most PvPers will do what it takes to win, and blaming TKO or whoever for it will not change that fact.

In addition to the toxicity pointed out by a few people thus far, I'd say this is another byproduct. People suffer from the placebo effect and think that running 16 instead of 20 makes some sort of difference in performance, likewise for 24. The majority of the time at LEAST 1 person is afk, crashed, or not near the group when running large at 24. The 16 man group is an artifact from the yesteryears when people cared about optimal AP, and is also a byproduct of current day ESO hipsters trying to convince themselves that it has any noticeable effect on performance while wearing it on their sleeve so all can see they aren't 'zerglings'. This isn't a dig against khole (I like a super majority of people in there that I've met), but rather, a critique on the persisting mentality that 16 has any difference at all on performance compared to when you add literally a few more players to group. People who want to cap a group size because they prefer small man - that's one thing. People who want to cap a group size to an artificial number because they've convinced themselves it has any impact on performance when there are 10 pugs surrounding you,

Frankly, the '16' and (thankfully mostly died out) '8-man' arguments are just another means to attack each other for no reason and with little basis in reality.
