Nice video

Sotha tonight was....weird. EP zerging with 60+ players, DC zerging with 60+ players and smaller groups hitting back keeps of AD. Purple alliance or not...AD is getting completely annihilated lately, pushed back to BB and BM. In the meantime EP and DC are having leisurely skrimshes at Chal every once in a while not bothering fighting each other.

If you are speaking of Prime Time:

Yesterday was a special case of Yell stupidity, as the Reds had the blue scrolls, und the Yells still attacked Glade although it was totally clear to everyone that most Blues were preparing an attack on the reds. Most blue guilds counterattacked the yells immediately just to set an example.

And IF you have to do it, please do it with at least 2 raids, so that we don´t have to ride back from KC for just 5 seconds of fighting.

I just find it more and more off-turning that everyone runs in big groups now and you see several guilds stacked in the same spots. The icing on the cake is when 10+ players chase you for an extended duration. The game is all about having the bigger group increasingly.

Awesome evening! Everyone against everyone. This felt like old Azura again.

Was really nice to come online for once and not only sitting at 3 homekeeps. Arrius def was amazing as well - even if we lost in the end

Nice blue map every night and morning. Congrats DC. You can now go play with yourself.

I agree, really sucks that they ruin the fun for everyone like that... but then again.. EP noobies were painting the map red for how long? 1 year? what goes around comes around.

Mirror, long deep look.

lol, good one... you ZERG the map EVERY MORNING with +1 bar than anybody... The "Nice blue map every night and morning" was actually ONCE yesterday to set an example for your beloved Nyux's AD+EP alliance when they zerged EVERYTHING and took all scrolls and shared them around between AD and EP...

So we painted the map blue (with EVEN numbers, 2 bars each and then 1 bar each)... And most of the times we fought outnumbered in keeps and still got it...

Face it, red, unless your alliance stacks up in ONE place (which they do), with even numbers EP never stands a chance against DC... Cause we are used fighting outnumbered so we have to develop something more than spamming heavy attacks...

Other than that, usually we get emp with 2 bars each because, again, even numbers work to our favor...

Don't blame DC... Blame DE, Draco, Legion, Loups, etc that has made 95% of EP population mindless/inexperienced pvp-ers that stack up 30+++ to cap one outpost...

Mind you that yesterday, 2 bars EP against 1 bar DC you needed around 30+ minutes to get Arrius from us and with 3 walls open outter and 2 inner...

He plays AD though AFAIK.

Lol instead of a tactical assault, EP would siege the entire keep down into rubble if they could. They looove their siege weapons so much it makes me glad siege weapons dont come with wheels as they would drive them from keep to keep

When your alliance is losing, so you decide to go to the forum and cry about "zerging"

Sincere question : how do you guys care about the state of the Cyrodiil map ?

I mean i've spent my fair share of time winning and loosing keeps all around the map, but i never cared about the colour of said map. The only thing it's going to change for me is the place where i'm going to fight, the end of month rewards don't really amount to much when you calculate them as income/day.

I've played other games where map control was directly tied to your guild's performance (Global Agenda anyone ?) but for games with a few mega-factions (like Planetside), i've only ever cared for what was accomplished by my guild/alliance, not for the action of random unknown players, and especially not for things that happened while i wasn't online.

So, what's your secret to care about night caps and fights you weren't involved in ?

Thats a very easy question to answer; Being on the winning side. You dont get it, but most players do. It was much more important before, and thats why cyrodiil is dieing, because it gets less and less important. Eventually youll log on one day, see the map hasnt changed at all the last 24 hours, and only small groups like yours is running around. That day you and your guild will change game, because part of what makes realm wars interesting, is the dynamic of the map, of the victories and of the relative strenght of each faction. Every realm war game has died when the balance is screwed. Every one of them, no matter how fkin good it was for players like you. Best example is WARhammer. Awesome game for guild vs guild fights, but it was a rotting corpse after just a handful of months.
Id like to return the question; how come you dont know this? If you are only looking for guild vs guild fights, this archetype of game is not for you...

I like to win, and i play to win when i feel it has a meaning ... but a 30 days campaign ? How can you feel involved for such a long period of time, where most of it will happen without you ?

So do you care or not ? i don't get it.
What is the problem about balance ? Don't all faction have access to the same classes ?

I'm fine thanks, i'm enjoying this game more than ever thanks to the diversity of PvP options :
- Battlegrounds (Solo/Premade)
- Cyrodill (GvG/small squad/solo/zergsurf)
- Imperial City (Solo/small squad)
- Duel

I just don't have any interest in the result of a 30 days campaign that will happen without me for 95% of its duration.

youre not really interested in any answer trying to describe the way a big number of players feel. Youre more and possibly only interested in highlighting how you are above the players caring about the campaign. Maybe you just got your foot inside a decent pvp guild and feel invincible (Les loups du Nord???....Decent???...), or maybe you are just trying to troll the ones caring about the campaign. Why did you anyway step inside here to ask about this when you dont care?

Ill be brutally honest with you. The Loups du Nord is a pretty poor guild when it comes to fights with other guilds. The server in general arent too happy about you, because you *** around at the totally wrong place, often calling for help (yes you do) attracting ep pugs away from thing slike defend arrius and or scrolls. You are in general not very good 1v1 players either. I dont recall any of you doing good 1cx or smallscale. Correct me with video proof if wrong. Your main goal and /or achievements, seems to be to punk dc or ad pugs, as far away from the ad and dc guilds as possible. Let me ask you this; How is this fun and rewarding?

Guilds like ZS on vivec, at least to a certain degree understand and realize the need to be supported by the faction. When they push, and they often push deep into enemy terrain, the call for scouting of various ad and dc guilds. Then they actively search them and fight them. When ZS is on, ep on vivec in general push ino the other factions. ZS doesnt care about the campaign either, but they care to a certain degree about the health of the game..

You guys dont do that. You fold when you meet a decent sized organized groups, much to the anger of the ep pugs. Ive been told you are pretty good at ganking pug groups though....wow.../golfclap --->pve

So I suggest you get down from your high horse, and start showing what you can do, instead of tossing out empty words towards people who KNOW who you are and what you do. Zilch. WHen you actually get good at gvg, make a post like this.

Ive been doing PBAoE groups for several years, its cool, fun and takes a lot of dedication. It also makes the campaign play less interesting. Youll be more concerned about your scores vs certain guilds around your own level, and the progress.
In eso only a fracture of players play in such guilds. Most players in cyrodiil are PUGS. Without the pugs the game IS dead. Respect the pugs or you doom your preferred game.

And ye, edit; I guess you know there are 7 day campaigns? No? ....

I asked this question for two reason :

- i'v seen several persons here worrying about things they have no control over, most notably nights caps. I think worrying so much about things outside your control is unnecessarily hurting yourself and only leads to frustration in the end. So i was checking in to ask "Guys, is there really a reason to worry ?"

- I case i would have missed something (ex: i was wrong and the rewards for wining are actually significant), i would find some added motivation/meaning to perform well over the full duration of a campaign.

As for my experience in Cyro, yes i've joined a decent pvp guild, but nothing elitist, mostly a mix of dads, casuals and competitive players following a few individuals with awesome leading and motivational abilities.


Edit: you edited you post with 3x the content, i'll try to answer to that later

So you see, I managed to trigger you to answer to some of my more aggressive and patronizing comments. Now I ask you, why do you worry or care about my opinion of your guilds abilities?. Answer that and you will find the answer to your original question.
If you remove the name of your guild in the post I just made and insert "EP", remove the name of ZS and insert "AD", you see things from a pugs perspective. Sometimes its healthy...

if you look above your last post you see I already answered you post but Ill copypaste anyway;
