Has anyone else lead an opposing side zerg into another opposing side's zerg before

Armatesz · September 2017

This is something that has happened like 3 times for me in the past, although only one of those said times I survived by hiding. But anyways I was doing questing in pvp cyrodiil not quite close to Cheydinhal but I was heading back there and I saw a zerg of ebonhearts chasing me (I was daggerfall) so I kind of booked it in some random direction so that they could not figure where I was going. I think I must have been going south because along the way I believe I came across an upward incline and found some rock formations that were on the right side, I did a beeline to those rock formations and before I went up the hill I made sure they were chasing me and yes they were... I immediately noticed another zerg on the other side of the way up the top of the hill and immediately found those rock formations and kind of just went stealth as I watched one zerg fight another zerg. 3 or 5 minutes of fighting and the ad people killed the ebonheart zerg and then noticed they were reviving their allies and then they left... I was huddled up in my spot for about an hour before I decided it was safe to leave... and people say that trying to dye your armor/clothes to blend into your environment is useless... that and you also might want to obstruct your name tag from being seen. It is still kind of funny to lead one zerg into another and watch the one you were being chased by die at the hands of another zerg that did not know you were there.

awesome story @Armatesz ...it's always great to watch the two other alliances fight in front of you - it just looks really cool...

even better if you can fore some abilities or siege weapons in to the action...

I love working siege from the inner keep while the two enemy factions fight it out below...

I don't think I could have done anything that would not have compromised my location, I honestly just wanted to get done with the questing part in cyrodiil, eventually did I believe the next day I think. Still kind of funny that so many people bash others for dyeing their armor to blend into the environment better.

I once was part of a large group scroll run. The scroll carrier turned out to be a traitor that lead our large group into an ambush by an equally large opposing group.
How do i know he was a traitor? The other group shielded him from us during the whole fight that followed ...

And then there was that time when i was stuck in a castle that was being sieged by two opposing zergs (only two of us inside) and the other two factions continued to wipe each other in our courtyard for over an hour. We raked in a huge amount of AP just sitting there watching them slaughter each other over and over again.

Huh that is crazy, only times I ever would lead an opposing side is for helping them through skyshard runs or questing in the cyrodiil map. Nothing more than that as I would never consider doing that to players. Because I know how much a pain it is to do skyshardhunting or questing in pvp cyrodiil.

As an opposing faction I also want to be able to the the towns missions without getting disturbed. I know it's a pvp zone but you should be able just to do the missions and to be left alone.

In PvP, colouring your armor to match your surroundings doesn't do anything. When you change your settings to turn your nameplate off, that only turns it off from your own screen view, not everyone elses.

I see enemy nameplates, healthbars, and faction icons, up on the horizon well before I see their character shape.

The only effective way to hide from others is to stealth, and stay well away from an enemy detection radius.

What I mean is stuff that obscures nameplates, I had a few friends test it with me

I know it can be fun to watch however, it is even more fun to play. Give pvp a chance get with some people get a build & get a guild group and have fun. PVP is what is the best part of this game for me.

Totally. I took my first toon to lvl 40 before I went into cyrodiil. It was a pretty rough slog at first until I started running with groups, then getting build advice (my build was all wrong and pvp set up is totally different from pve). My advice, join any active pvp guild. You will learn lots, not die as much (but you will still die, just get used to it), and have loads of fun. I now take my toons into Cyrodiil as soon add they hit lvl 10.

The problem is not dying actually but the numbing of someone that is trying to do delving in cyrodiil and they see me and I am leaving them generally alone and then they attack me forcing me to have to kill them.
