Reds did me dirty. Xbox NA

Stratforge · March 2016

So here's a story, make of it what you will.

Background: I am a pretty chill guy all things considered. If I'm grinding out cyrodiil town quests and I see a blue/red, I won't attack first. If its a lowbie and they attack first, I shield stack for a bit (if I'm on my sorc) without attacking to give them a chance to reconsider. I also do dolmens with members of other alliances very often and most of the time people are quite receptive to an olive branch rather than an attack. I have a fair amount of cp (not capped, tho) and imo theres not much fun to be had wrecking noobs and making them hate the game. Reasonable people can disagree on that point but thats how I feel.
Anyway, I'm on a V4 stamplar that I've been leveling and I get seeds of hope in Cropsford (luv cropsford) so I head to Cwood cave in my *** lvl 40 gear hoping to get in and out with no problems. When I get to the seeds room I see 3 reds fighting the boss. I walk up, slowly, holding block to show I mean no harm. They finish the boss and immediately two of them (Midlevel vets) attack me. I don't remember exactly what I did but it involved some LoS and several wrecking blows. Anyway they died and I held up block to the remaining red. My idea being, I'll grab my seeds and get gone and this red can res his buddies and they can get back to grinding. The red held up block back so I grabbed the seeds and took off. Up at the mouth of the cave I got add aggro and basically ended up fighting all the first room's adds. Mid add-fight, the three reds jump me and this time successfully kill me. I was kinda steamed (yellow didn't have any close castles so I had a ride ahead of me) so I messaged the red I had left alive basically saying what the snip dude? He responded that he was sorry but his friends wanted revenge, "very sorry" though. Okay.

This incident hasn't changed my policy for these situations. However it did make me salty towards reds and I absolutely remember the names of the 3 ppl involved and if I catch them out in the wild they're toast.

Anyway use this thread to betty-netch about how the other alliances have done you dirty.

The other day I went to IC, just casual looking for a "small" fight going solo on my sorc. I see 1 yellow in the distance and think ooo easy target, I burst him & kill him in seconds and boom 30 yellows come out of sneak and jump me, didn't even stand a chance Lol

While a lot of players will enjoy a truce, you can't be mad at anyone for not wanting to. It is pvp after all.

Everyone is just AP, it's nothing personal, you want to quest send me a message, I'll usually stop then.

Common tactic of gank squads put a bait player usually a lower level, stealth up and wait.
Rinse and repeat.

Came here expecting an Erotic story of how a Dark elf gave your Khajit some of that "Dark Meat"

Can't really blame the EP on Xbox NA Ive never been given a break or a truce when dealing with AD players in quest towns or caves they always attack me on sight so I do the same back regardless of level.

allmoney01 · March 2016

Yeah, AD regularly farm EP in quest towns on Xbox. The only real dirty work I've seen is a group jumping the postern house (or even broken keep corner in some castles) to capture a keep within meer moments of flagging (less than 35 seconds)
. Maybe thats just part of the game bit it seems like an exploit to me. And I'm not referring to any particular alliance, Ive seen them all do it.

...well I am a huge noob at pvp, so I need to apologize to 2 reds I crossed paths with the other day in Imperial City.

I was doing the daily quest in Elven Gardens, then moved on to Nobles District to pick up the quest there. Once I was there, I had to die to quickly get to the spawn point where the quest can be taken, so I went in between a couple of enemy NPC's and tried to get killed.

I was down to 30% health when 2 red templars showed up. One was wearing 1hand and shield and the other behind him was carrying a 2handed sword. The tank rushed up to me and casted a skill that looked like Pierce Armor, and out of habit I stopped letting myself die and spammed my Puncturing Sweep button, the first guy died after 3rd or 4th sweep, and the second who stood right behind him took heavy damage, went below 10% health and I fired my Jesus Beam at him. I took at look at their youthful looking stonecold dead bodies and saw that they were both v16's.

I'm a suicidal pve healer, noob at pvp, wearing light healer gear, 0 attributes spent on hp, all armor enchants are max magicka and my jewelry is arcane ...below 30% health and already under attack of 3-4 mobs ..NOBODY AT 100% HEALTH DESERVES TO DIE BY ME! Q.Q

Yup that was one of the biggest zerg balls I have seen in a while down at the sewers lol

Look at it this way....

The fact that it took 3 reds to kill you while you were attacking mobs says a lot about your skill. Had you not been tied up with the mobs, you would have easily killed those two noobs again while the intelligent one stayed out of it....

I got ganked by yellow as i was getting a sky shard. They looked like they were waiting then they ultibombed and killed me.

Guess what, I love Cropsford too.

But I love Cheyindal as well. There's a quest that leads you to Vahtacen, an excellent FG grind location. I soloed it from time to time with my magicka templar. How I just did that? I aggroed the dead guys from the right room, casted a supernova, stood by the sun fragment, spammed reflective light and structured entropy and breath of life, until my ulti was up again.
I did so hours and hours long. In the middle of a freshly started procedure, I was ambushed by two werewolves, one pounced on me and the other landed infectous blows. I had like 10 undeads attacking me and two beasts, I died in seconds. And then they were killed by the mob.

I cursed, respawned and went back. Whom I just found there? The two guys. They aggroed the mob and one of them fell, and the other dude almost did so as well. So I helped him killing the rest. He healed himself and resurrected the buddy. I watched over the reunion and jumped like 30 times to show I mean no harm. I turned my back and went to the other room. What did I hear? Friendly voices maybe?

Two monster transformation. Now I know how to deal with them. I sneaked into the room on the right, and waited. The undead killed them
