The zerg ball groups already began to dominate Cyrodiil within a few months after launch. It can still be fun playing solo, I just try to avoid those kind of groups.

Overall there is something very special about the core gameplay system of Cyrodiil. Not sure exactly why, but somehow it has kept my interest for the past 4 years.

I didn`t even go there, and i`m not planning to until nothing to explore will be left in the world. And only for those " PVE " aspects of Cyro.
I don`t like mindless slaughterhouses, I prefer PvP with a goal, profit. Like take away farming spot, gang enemy guild, steal other player cargo and etc. Just running around killing each other without any good reason is meh.

I used to have moar fun. It's still funny as some time ago, but...

Hope ZoS bells the khajiit... some day...

PVP is fun in small doses for me . The second it starts becoming a pain I go somewhere else . With all the issues in PVP , that happens more often .

As a dynamic game style by nature, there is a reason cyrodiil has stood the test of time and undergone little to no change in over 3 years. Its well designed regardless of what people say. ITS NOT PERFECT BY ANY MEANS but it is so well designed from a gameplay aspect that there are entire guilds dedicated to it, there is a tremendous community and subculture built around it and there are players who level 1-cp630 in pvp exclusively. All the major streamers made fortunes off of it and it is still a portion of the game that commands wonder, awe, and envy.

Legends are born in cyrodiil. Names like Zazeer, Qaevir, Murder Thumbs, DK Daniel, Dubzug, Benzy boy, Sypher, Kodi, etc etc are spoken with love or infamy or both to this day. Legends are born. Period. No other aspect of the game creates LEGENDS like that.

I pve'd for the majority of my eso career. Largely because its what my guild needed me to be. But over the last three years ive experienced all there is with pvp. Casual, competitve, guild vs guild tournament, being crowned emperor, IC, ive led pugs, newcomers, and a competitive team. Dueling battlegrounds, and never once have i ever thought about quitting pvp. Eso is a magical game. It has no rival on the market and a large part of that is due to the very pvp we log into day after day.

Mic drop.

I PVE so that I can PVP. If Cyrodiil was removed I would drop game without a second thought.

I still don't understand the concept of "zergs" when Cyrodil is supposed to be army vs. army....so isn't a zerg actually functioning as intended?

The game's inability to handle said zergs aside, I have always been confused by the complaints in AvAvA

I doubt most have any problem when there are large numbers of unorganized players. It can still be fun to fight and at least you have a chance to survive or escape.

However, if you keep getting chased down and focus fired by organized guild group using teamspeak, coordinated mass cliff racer / jesus beam on you or whatever, it can be a bit discouraging.

To answer your question of having fun in pvp, yes, yes I do.

Of course no... But there is simply no other way to get those 50 Alliance War ranks skill points right ?

In all my many years of gaming I cannot recall a more miserable gaming experience than PvP in Cyrodiil. I would rather go back to WoT and play another 10,000 battles against the noobs there than face PvP here. PvP is a form of torture we must undergo to get the skills we need elsewhere and nothing more.

it depends how many exploiters I run into

At times it's the best feature of the game. Endless replay value.

More often than not it's absolutely unplayable. Lag spikes, horrid latency and a overall scoring system to easy to game. If I can get an hour straight of minimal lag in cyrodil the 2nd major problem I run into is seeing the population soo easily cheated.

Ad has incredibly long que times. So their emp will que up with a group of 10 on their DC alts and help defend the bridge between Sejanus and alessia by bombing the EP zergs.

If your a Metta chasing, alliance swapping, exploiter, then yes cyrodil is heaven.

Ran with a 12-man group yesterday. Had a blast, ran into a little bit of lag, but outside of that we totally crashed in on some parties up at Chalman mine.
