I was so upset yesterday when the score got close with AD pushing I suddenly saw a lot of EP switching to the AD side.
Next thing you know AD went from last place to first and EP went to last.
I am so tired of the lack of loyalty and people I thought were friends jumping to the other side to turn the tide when we need them the most.
I am at the point where I no longer want to be in a guild that allows this and almost done with this game.

Returned to Vivec from Shor last night. Instant regret... lol - Lag was so bad it was taking me 3 tries to go through a door when the keep wasn't even under attack. Witnessed 40+ EP and another 40+ DC wipe at the same time at Alessia trying to dethrone AD Emp, and 2 minutes after I'm pretty sure I saw gloating in Guild chat. I'll admit I was a tad triggered and I did contemplate dropping the guild. Shame the GM can't be on more often - Pretty sure if he witnessed that first-hand, there's be a bit of housekeeping taking place afterwards.

Joining the faction that's won the majority of campaigns over the past 18 months is every player's right, but don't be a tool and taunt players you used to run with.

i'm not really sure i get the flooding to yellow either...

my purpose for jumping around is to hit 100k on each character...once that's accomplished I'll generally just play in which ever is the low pop faction when I want to pvp...

I know though lots of folks make their decision as to which side to play for other reasons...i assume it's to play with friends or try to achieve something leaderboard wise...

Sorry Geonsocal. It’s frustrating being all daggerfall sometimes. Hopelessly outnumbered. Un-coordinated. I may have to run back to shor lol

Can always run with me and Stoney.

I switched to a Bleed build to help out the group for the really tanky targets we encounter. Ran it last night on my StamWarden, it's absolutely devastating with Rending Slash/Flurry + Shalks.

You didn't know Gooch was a guy dotme? :P I thought it was a well known thing

Wait, peoples are still harassing you over you leaving AD?

They must have conveniently forgotten all you've done for them.

howdy @Stoney_McGeee ...so glad you could join us here...have heard a ton of good things about you...

always good to run in to you out in vivec (although in a few of those occasions the cap'n herself stomped on me )...

I definitely appreciate the fact that there are strong group leaders out there whom are willing to move to where help is needed the most (for almost the last year or so now that would be to DC)...

for myself much more important how a person plays (in terms of not using exploits or purposefully "griefing" other players) than which specific banner they chose to fight for...

on my AD mag sorc for the evening...maybe the oddest thing yet I've seen - just captured 5 consecutive keeps and only saw two enemies the whole time...what's up with that???

finally on the 6th keep ran in to a few enemies inside defending (actually they had just finished taking the keep themselves)...

yeah, I remember a year and a half or so ago AD was the place to be...always being outnumbered almost forces you to have to group, plus, always fighting outnumbered and on the 3rd place team made people pretty relaxed and just out to have fun...

Ok - so I made a girl character, sue me...

Greetings! Today I had my first adventure in Cyrodiil. Vivec is the front where the action happens, or so Talion tells me. Oh, perhaps I should introduce myself first. I am Diana Venatrices, Imperial Warden, signed on with the Aldmeri Dominion. I had Talion set me up with a set of Eternal Hunt in the Skinchanger style. I look quite smart in it, thank you very much! Except for the helmet, it's too big and looks like I'm wearing my dad's helmet. So I hide that and wear a laurel crown I found lying around. I went in at level 32 and returned home at level 35. I also went from Volunteer to Tyro in my service to the queen.

Probably the most fun I've had in a while. All the armor is well-fitted because, who doesn't want comfortable armor? Champion points into reduced cost roll dodge and I just roll around the battle like a soccer ball, all while placing those eternal hunt runes all around. Those things immobilize and do over 8,000 damage! (More if I hit a werewolf in form... I want to be a werewolf)

The biggest moment was again at Nikel. Whereas Talion saw only another battle, I was looking forward to the chance to show my stuff. I'm all sworded and boarded and ready for that door to come down. Up above, we have plenty of oils being poured and I am an Ice Fortress ready for the enemy. When it opens, they rushed towards the door and I hit the gripping shards, dodge roll to place a rune so they can't move, and blast the permafrost. So many of them were locked in ice, only to be thawed to death by the boiling oil being poured from above! Bee-ee-aye-you-tiful. Fetcherflies were swarming through their ranks and while I wasn't wrecking 1v1, I had a hand in taking down so many.

Not to mention, our army was stronger by my being there if I do say so myself. And I do. Ice fortress for everyone! And what girl doesn't want their own enchanted forest? You know who else wants an enchanted forest? A group of your friends-in-arms being subjected to yet another eye of flame train, that's who. There I was, just a lowbie, launching subterranean assaults, spinning a steel tornado of death with my twin daggers, launching cliff racers after those lone targets who were left after the oil/ice death combo... Wow. Who knew being a Warden would be this much fun?

-Diana

ps A member of the Ebonheart Pact hit me with a quick shot when I was sitting on my elk looking over my skills. Fortunately I wasn't alone and that soldier died quickly. I was deep in my pack and not paying attention so after they died I went over to them and my knees gave out, and then they firmed up, then they gave out again, then they firmed up... but I'm not usually weak in the knees like that, so if that EP person was anyone in this thread, I'm sorry about that. If it was just a slap to say hello, I owe you an apology. I didn't see the name of the person, so if it was any of you, I'll be glad to fight you one-on-one so you can get another Warden kill on your tally.

just got reminded of an age old cyrodiil truism - it's not the player in front of you trying to dizzy swing you to death that's a problem, it's that player you never see poking you full of lethal arrows while that player is trying to dizzy swing you to death that'll get ya

got to actually see the verminous fabricant on the mad tinkerer set proc a few times...the issue on the set isn't in its proc rate at all - it's worse than the bear when it comes to actually hitting any one with it...

at about 37 with both wardens now...right around level 44 I'll do my last gear change before turning vet - don't think I'll be equipping this set ever again...

howdy @Abysswarrior45 ...sorry to hear the lag is killing your enjoyment of the game...

glad though that you've joined us here on the forums...

to be honest - at this point I think I've just played so long I don't really notice it much anymore...

actually, I do notice it - more than likely - I've just become numb to it...

I've only really played in the 30 day cp map for the last couple of years...i don't always encounter lag, but, yeah - when the player count on the screen gets up around 20 or so things start getting choppy...

I've stopped even getting pissed when I die to lag - just another way to die in cyrodiil to me now...

usually when it starts getting really bad I start spamming heals - cuz, there's absolutely no way to know how much damage your character has already received...

hopefully at some point zos is able to redeploy that performance update that they had to roll back (due to it causing those endless load screens)...

thanks for taking the time to make a forum account, record some video and raise this issue with zos once again...

wish you the best and hope to see you out there in vivec (hopefully not during some game play lag fest )...
