Well kudos for using footage from today, I wasn't in cyro at the time, but I recognize the sequence of scroll pickups from frogblast.

The OP's primary point was in the difference in numbers before prime time. Sure, some places were defended by DC and it looked like a lot of DC, but you basically encountered the ENTIRE DC population at that temple and they still didn't have enough to stop you.

You have 20-30 running with the scroll and got attacked by what looked like about 15 DC. You popped open the map and AD was holding DC at Ni-Mohk gate while the large escort stayed with the scroll.

EP was silent even though you had two of their keeps. Why? Probably because you had the people to defend their keeps as well... and tonight, you had enough people to actually defend your last emp keep from two factions at the same time. I don't think I've ever actually seen that happen. TWO factions gave up on a dethrone because it was such a *** show.

Don't get me wrong, your group played pretty well, and I definitely facepalmed while watching some of those DC encounters.

Considering it was khajiit's group that took Rayles, then Glade, pushed the Alma Ruma scroll, and then got Warden going in the time leading up to that clip this one feels that accusations of 'PVDooring' and 'bringing 30 to fight 3-5' required a response. Some people were also elf enough to state that the ones who took those keeps were poor sports.

So here we have the group that took the keeps, and one scroll, not only going up against a good number of defenders, but openly stating that we will not be defending the scroll keeps once we have the scrolls. For you see Telel is indeed a believer in good sportsmanship even if they are the worth NB in the entire game.

You might also notice that the clip begins with us wiping a dozen and more bloops who were trying to attack an otherwise empty keep. Telel is a fan of irony as a comedic device.

As for not seeing the Dumbminion handle two factions before you'll also hear this one mention how 'we're getting purpled so hard later tonight' during the clip. This is because we've become so used to the almost scheduled double teaming that many of us just consider it as something to work around after we return from dinner.

In fact you'll see it occur every night on Trueflame. Usually sometime around 8PM EST though it varies by up to an hour. Once the griffs pop lock, the bloops suddenly get a surge of players. Those players then proceed to push down into the dumbminion keeps and split the area neatly between them in a 'totes not team purple' move.

Lately the bloops will leave Alessia alone as they take everything else because they know that the bridge bums and AP mules won't defend or push anything so long as they have a spawn point. This is the strategy that got the Digdugdug Corpulent its 1300 points lead during the last week with the group bug.

It was also an event that repeatedly led to a handful of Dumbminionites defending or trying to take keeps from dozens of bloops with a paltry handful of players.

And you'll also not see humble khajiit running to the forums to make elf faces over the matter. Unless of course someone elfishly tries to accuse them, and their small group of 'terribad' players of trying to kill the campaign.

You start primetime with both Ash and BRK consistently and then call it purple team hen both factions take back their home keeps... Come on Telel, you aren't that stupid.

Consistently? This one thinks you should the see start of Telel's broadcasts if you think we often have ash and BRK. Not only do they remind everyone that Telel is the worst player in the game, they have no bias once the volume is turned off.

For the last week and a half Telel has been lucky to start with all the home keeps when they get things going. Usually it requires much effort on the part of the pups, khajiit, and the one other guild running a group to make much progress. And that's only if we get the AP mules off of the bridge and onto a useful objective.

Today for example we lacked Alessia, and BM. BM had no scroll behind the gate as the bloops had taken it at 3am so the griffs camping it had no real reason to be there other than farming newbs. Apparently someone forgot to tell them that only the Dumbminion does that.

Alessia was an easier take but only because all the AP mules need their favorite spawn points so that they can continue helping out their red flavored buddies. Once that was done the queue cloggers just kept suiciding onto the bridge and left the rest of the Dumbminion to do that thing we usually do when getting double teamed.

Can you guess what that thing is? If you need a hint then telel will only say it involves not doing something on these forums.

We never quite got past Ash's outer wall either despite Telel's massive 'zerg' of four to seven people. Sadly the dozens of bloopers huddled inside seemed to really want to defend that keep instead of siegeing Nikel. The jerks.

We did have fun running amok up north though. Taking some resources and then running off to light random keeps to try and spread the ball bloops apart kept us as amused as tuna scented yarn wrapped around a haughty elve's neck.

Heh, strangled elf neck. It makes khajiit laugh.

Who are you calling haughty????

What's wrong with this? How are they pvdoor heroes if they are fighting NPCs and taking keeps? I get your frustration but if their are keeps to take, shouldn't people take them?

It's anti-competitive, you won't get any AP if there's no one left to fight. They can be the big bully all they want but then they'll whine and complain when someone does the same thing to them. Don't dish it out if you can't take it.

I can't think of the last time DC had the numbers to pvdoor a map prime time. Maybe 2 years ago?

Maybe for this one campaign. Honestly i am shocked peeps still make posts about this behavior. All alliances do it

While the screenshots of the OP do show the current disgusting state of PvP, at least on PC EU, your rage is misdirected. Most of the AD playing for the glory of Queen Ayrenn and other roleplaying and no doubt important things don't go on forums.

These hordes of one-button spamming, mindless but numerous guys are composed of mainly casual players, who come home from work to relax and play PvP (or rather their twisted idea of PvP) for a few hours. Since they have other and probably better things to do than learn to play their characters and improve, they just pack since in this game, strength comes in numbers. And repaint the map in their alliance's color to prove some ineffable point.

At any rate, they don't go on forums, nor do they care about your indignation at their methods. They get what they wanted from this game, which is enjoyment and a false feeling of success and fulfillment at the sight of a full yellow map and a couple of dead bodies at their feet. At the end of the day, they congratulate themselves on a job well-done, and on a good PvP session while you take screenshots and rage at the injustice that you face in Cyrodiil. While forums can be a great source of venting out your anger and frustration as long as you comply with arguably silly rules of naming and shaming, in the end, the people who ruin PvP don't care, the devs don't care, nobody cares. So why bother?

Dedication has no reward. Skill neither in this game. You seem to give too much importance to a game with no competitive basis, and while it is a human trait to try and find meaning where there is none, in this case, it's just not worth it.

Just try and get some resource fights going with steely determination until you get zerged again, and again, and again, until you'll finally have that one outnumbered victory that will make all your PvP seem worthwhile. Or kill the fotm rerolls with slow horses who chase after zergs. Or try and find new ways to glitch out of the map or into enemy bases. Or duel. Or make a siege build (read: vicious death, valkyn, fassala) and siege zergs with coldharbour ballistas to avenge all the deaths you suffered at their hands while trying to find fair and honorable fights. There's no justice or fairness or skill in this game, but there's you. And you can still make the best out of it instead of expressing your outrage on forums.

You didn't even thank me for ressing you

@jellicles I think you tagged me by mistake. You were quoting something @vamp_emily said, I think. But it was definitely not something I said. So no comment. Lol.

Cyrodiil as of bit ago. Just look at how the Dumbminion is 'killing' the campaign with their poor sportsmanship.



Khajiit has a little game we can all play now. Spot the fighting above the Ash to Blue Road keep line and win a moon sugar brownie.

Much apologies. Not on now...but a few of the blue Oceanics are still a bit salty from yesterday's yellow push. Sun morning Oceanic is Sat night NA. But time for my afternoon nappy nappy. Did get a RD kill off of both @Rohamad_Ali and @Manoekin ealier today. But I'm sure they never noticed it. My RDs are of the gentle tickling sort.
