That’s actually the main reason I made my channel. I was so annoyed with the people that just babbled on and never got to the point or spent the first 3+ min of the video plugging their channel and begging for likes and subs. So I dont drag on ever. Haha! Glad you’re enjoying!!
Thanks for this video. I'm returning to ESO after a long hiatus. I'm a Cyrodiil veteran but haven't done BGs yet as I wasn't sure what to expect. This helps a lot.
This is such a great explanation....I'm not a PvPer but I want Vigor and Caltraps so I guess I have to go die over and over and over again while making my team mates mad in order to obtain them....Thank you for the helpful tutorial....You have earned a new sub
Fun video :) and for anyone new to pvp this video is a godsend and I wish I had the mental's to think of looking it up before I started so I knew the basics and the terms people will be using. Terrific stuff Shimmer thanks for your love of ESO an the community :).
U are making great tutorials! Keep them coming! It's incredible how many players don't know or care for the actual objectives of each different battleground. Many play them all as if was death match. I enter once every day on different pve dds (for the daily xp of course) and in about 85% of all matches I come out having the most points of all 12 players on a pve build, just because I play the mechanics and don't go for kills. And all the important clues, u have them in the video! "Don't be that guys" random fighting enemies on the map during a flag game. or do. More points for me ;)
I like your thorough coverage. I found this while I was looking up how many seconds a tick is. When standing on the flag how many seconds to a tick? By the way I have been finding the Nibenese helm to help me stay alive and actually participate in a fight ;D
5:07 As a Nightblade is it really obligatory to hold the ball? I mean a constant aoe damage plus no cloak hits kinda hard, i can't imagine myself holding it for more than 10 seconds while being chased. Isn't it better to deny the ball to the other teams by killing them as much as possible? I get the "don't be theses guys" idea but if i manage to protect my teamates by fending off the other players, isn't it a win?
Came here cuz im confused af..i mean idk what my enemies are doing or throwing at me..unlike wow there are animations and auras you can see so you know what the other player is doing.
Alright so I started playing eso a week or 2 ago. Now i enjoy the game. But what's pushing me away is how can someone like lvl 8 completely dominate a lvl 40. Like that shit happened and it just screamed someone bought shit to be OP af. Like that's a joke, now i have a hard time playing knowing there's guys under level 10 that can straight up whoop me whilst I cannot do damage to them.
Unfortunately you cannot queue together. You can group and attempt but it will not allow you to queue, and will give you the message “not all members meet the level requirement”. Your friend will need to use a toon under 50 or you will in order to queue together.
The skill based matchmaking in this is ridiculous. I'm not amazing at pvp but im constantly against those with 1-15 times more game time than me a much better gear.
Missed the issue i had didnt you? I based it on gametime. If i were to have the same gear as someone and they had 15 times my gametime, they would much more than likely beat me. So, why am i against them? Also it would mean I'm better at the game than those with the same game time if im against no lifers. But thanks for the comment, mutt.@@NiceDebuff
I love literally everything about the battlegrounds except one thing... Which is the only thing about eso that I absolutely hate... The effing foliage and banners... I really wish they'd make it where it doesn't obstruct your view... Especially as a night blade, it's the number one way to die... Not all of them are bad but two of the battlegrounds in particular make it next to impossible to accurately hug walls and sneak... And if not for stealthiness it's useless playing a night blade... Especially right now when 3 out of five people on the battlegrounds are dk... Everywhere I look I see green flames... Plus the harder my burst damage out, the faster they heal...

I’m glad there’s people like you to help us out thank ya.
:) glad to be of assistance to you!!
Thank you. You were the first person to actually explain how to access Battlegrounds via the Activity Finder option. I was going cray cray
I'm so glad there's players like you who are willing to help. I mostly just get shit talked and laughed at for not knowing what I'm doing..
Because it's common sense if you learn how to fuckin read
@NiceDebuff I don't play eso anymore, that game is actually trash anyway, get a real hobby you fuckin incell.
I have to say you are THE BEST game advice youtube channel I've seen. So descriptive, no blabbing, to the point and very organized.
That’s actually the main reason I made my channel. I was so annoyed with the people that just babbled on and never got to the point or spent the first 3+ min of the video plugging their channel and begging for likes and subs. So I dont drag on ever. Haha! Glad you’re enjoying!!
Well done, I'm a PvP newbie, really like the way you stayed focused on the basics without getting into too much detail.
Glad to help!!
Thanks for the info, I've avoided BG before, but will now give it a shot.
I'm I the only person just getting into this game in 2021? ..probably, yes.
BUT SO GLAD someone made this video!
Glad to help! Good luck in those battlegrounds!
Thanks for this video. I'm returning to ESO after a long hiatus. I'm a Cyrodiil veteran but haven't done BGs yet as I wasn't sure what to expect. This helps a lot.
You’re welcome!

When it comes to clear and helpful vids - you nail it
:D I try to just give the info and not babble on :). Glad it helped you!
Fun video :) and for anyone new to pvp this video is a godsend and I wish I had the mental's to think of looking it up before I started so I knew the basics and the terms people will be using. Terrific stuff Shimmer thanks for your love of ESO an the community :).
:D thanks and you're welcome :)
Great guide, awesome explanations and you speak very clear so i didn't even need to turn subtitles on. Tyvm!
You’re welcome!!
"Noobing in Nirn" I love it!
;)
Thank you for the information! Helpful for a noob like myself.
Excellent video! ESO should share this link on their site to help people understand battlegrounds.
Thanks :) glad it helped you!!
Very concise! thank you for the assistance, with the influx of new players recently these videos are more and more important. =)
Thanks!! Glad to help! 🤗
Level 10-50 is ridiculous.. anyone below level 35 gets smoked.
I’m level 20 and keep getting killed in only two or three hits.
Me, Level 15. Yes I will go into battleground. Great idea.
Tho tbh I probs won't cos I don't like PVP I will just do delves in imperial city
Nice vid again, dunno why I'm here since I already now everything about battlegrounds but if you see this, hi.
Hah! Hi 🤗
very informative and straight on to point. good video. thank you
You are awesome Shimmer!
Thanks!!
Good job on explaining this. Very well done. Thank you
You’re welcome!
Everytime I get on one people tend to be super op and have like 15 more levels above me and never take any damage whatsoever.
Recently started playing and clicked on battlegrounds not knowing what it was. Funniest thing ever.
🤗
U are making great tutorials! Keep them coming!

Ugh it’s SO ANNOYING when people don’t do objectives!
When you only PVE but want to get the Star Made Knight achievement during the PVP event.
You got this!
Great vid deff earned my sub keep it up
Thanks!

Good information. Thanks!
You’re welcome!
Nice work, thank you!!
You're Welcome!

😀
I like your thorough coverage. I found this while I was looking up how many seconds a tick is. When standing on the flag how many seconds to a tick? By the way I have been finding the Nibenese helm to help me stay alive and actually participate in a fight ;D
Thank you shimmer. 🙌 me love u long time
Thanks!
You’re welcome! Good luck in there!!
I need this but for console. There is no drop down menus in console that lets you pick which battleground you que into. How do you do it?
That cat is so scrawny! She needs some cat food soon!!
Hahaha!!
I see you list that you are using a Razer Orbweaver Game Pad, how do you find it for this MMO and can you do a video on your game pad configuration?
I believe you now need to be at level 50 now in order to join? my group activity finder is empty cant do much with it
Does gear matter in battlegrounds because I went in with no sets and would die in 2 seconds against one person, didn't have the time to even heal.
How do you see what class other players on your team is?
How do you see what class thee players are on the other teams?
Nice video! :)
You can see that by pressing f5 on pc (unsure of console command) and click on each player. On the right it will show you their class symbol
I thought battlegrounds were "run around like headless chickens trying to 1v8 and getting wrecked" going by my experience
I could not figure out how to get into the battlegrounds. Now I know what I was not doing. Soon, I will wish I had not seen your video. :0)
?
Does gear matter in pvp if levels are even out?
Yes
dont forget to add dont get cursed or you will loss everytime
5:07 As a Nightblade is it really obligatory to hold the ball?
I mean a constant aoe damage plus no cloak hits kinda hard, i can't imagine myself holding it for more than 10 seconds while being chased.

Awesome how ESO puts old school first person shooter modes into a MMORPG! Imagine if Fallout 76 was as good as ESO!
But imagine if 76 was good
Are levels equally match?
What is F5 on console?
Alright so I started playing eso a week or 2 ago. Now i enjoy the game. But what's pushing me away is how can someone like lvl 8 completely dominate a lvl 40. Like that shit happened and it just screamed someone bought shit to be OP af. Like that's a joke, now i have a hard time playing knowing there's guys under level 10 that can straight up whoop me whilst I cannot do damage to them.
What if I queue with a sub 50 friend and I'm 50?
Unfortunately you cannot queue together. You can group and attempt but it will not allow you to queue, and will give you the message “not all members meet the level requirement”. Your friend will need to use a toon under 50 or you will in order to queue together.
So all the level 10s gonna get queued with lvl 10s hows that fair?
Sooo .. I'm on ps4
Just tried the pvp for the first time and I was nervous and bad 😂got two of them though or something 😂
🤣🤣GJ!!
Thumbs up for timestamp!
Why have I had to come to this video to learn all of this? Thanks. BTW, most of us are on console, not pressing F5 or whatever.
The skill based matchmaking in this is ridiculous. I'm not amazing at pvp but im constantly against those with 1-15 times more game time than me a much better gear.
Because it isn't hard to get gear and get setup your just bad get over it
Missed the issue i had didnt you? I based it on gametime. If i were to have the same gear as someone and they had 15 times my gametime, they would much more than likely beat me. So, why am i against them? Also it would mean I'm better at the game than those with the same game time if im against no lifers. But thanks for the comment, mutt.@@NiceDebuff
Pov: You’re here ‘cause you have no idea how to get in a battleground.
Or found themselves in one with no idea wtf to do 😝
Shimmer My second problem lol
@@ryanhuynh7509 theyre really bad at explaining things in eso lol
The biggest joke of this video was the idea that an AD player would be friends with a DC player.
lmao! I do have friends that dabble in AD :O
Betrayer....
YEAH BUT HOW DO I PLAY A BATTLEGROUND GAME
If only there was a video that could answer that question for you. 🧐
Guide for beginners: Simply don't play it until they learn to balance pvp
Or...now hear me out....learn to pvp.
@@ShimmerVids ha thats a good one mate. Hard to "JuSt GiT GuD" when the pvp is severely unbalanced
@@kilowhisperer5057 true, but you can still just follow the broken meta or make your own broken build with time
that girl is very skinny :P
i always lose
Me too >.>
Sup u sound cute thicc
It looks like you don’t pvp much, if at all
I sure don’t!! It’s pretty obvious from my Fire Drakes Flame dye I’m wearing which requires the Pit Hero achievement. Have a good day! #sarcasm
I love literally everything about the battlegrounds except one thing... Which is the only thing about eso that I absolutely hate... The effing foliage and banners... I really wish they'd make it where it doesn't obstruct your view... Especially as a night blade, it's the number one way to die... Not all of them are bad but two of the battlegrounds in particular make it next to impossible to accurately hug walls and sneak... And if not for stealthiness it's useless playing a night blade... Especially right now when 3 out of five people on the battlegrounds are dk... Everywhere I look I see green flames... Plus the harder my burst damage out, the faster they heal...
Very informative. Thank you
