NA - Wabbajack

purgation

The actual history of Wabbajack, as I understand it.

-- AD never had a significant lead for any length of time. The good AD guilds were busy dominating other servers.

-- DC had a substantial lead early on. No offense to anyone, but my understanding is that this was in part due to exploiting to gain V10 early.

-- The DC players/guilds involved in the above bullet point received a time ban. When this occurred, EP TOTALLY dominated the server for a short while (a week or two) As it turns out, just long enough to come back to close to catching DC in score.

-- DC came back, and it was hotly contested. Shortly thereafter, tons of players started flowing into Wabba from every other server. AD became much more of a presence, and the fight has been raging in (relative) balance ever since.

You understood wrong.

Very wrong. AD controlled the map at first - but DC had a big push and we swallowed the map. EP people spammed these boards begging for EP help and it arrived in the form of two large guilds - and one pre-built to destroy zerg, group.

The pre built group kept the DC zerg in check using abilities that have since been nerfed into the ground - Fixate and Nicole's group.

The two large guilds that came in made an effort to bring the fight to DC and eventually turned the map red.

The map was red for probably two weeks.

EP gained the lead - and by the time some organization came back to DC it was too little too late as Wabba became the GO TO campaign for actual PvP instead of PvDoor.

Even if ESOstats is in the ballpark of being accurate.. Wabbajack is/was the ONLY server in TESO, NA or EU, that had ANY real chance of it being a truly competitive server for the entirety of the three months... everything else was either a blowout from either day one, or month one (Very few exceptions, again based on ESO stats) and/or became a ghost server from lack of a faction(s) participation.

Still don't know why we're refreshing the current state of the game for another 90 days o.O

Bitaken has it explained well. DC wabba was so bad at start I wanted to switch campaigns but couldn't afford it then the fight got good and I stuck with it the whole time. I still haven't used the guest option. I have had many wow moments and lots of fun. I would have played more if there weren't so many bugs.

Their merges and 1.3 stuff isn't ready for another month+ and after the scourge fiasco ZOS is probably too scared to touch anything

Plus ZOS is probably gonna spend a few days/weeks dealing with all the bugs and exploits from Tuesday's patch :P

I personally have a bigger problem with a certain setup a certain class can use to basically trollololol any raid by themselves. Thank baby jesus I haven't seen it really yet except for one person but it took me 10 seconds to see it to realize how on par it is with the old Vampire Batswarm issue.

If you know what I am talking about I ask politely to keep your mouth shut so it doesn't spread like wildfire. The fact it hasn't yet is shocking but is also not quite as obvious as the batswarmers.

If you do I recommend bug report/feedbacking it because it is utterly broken and could no way in hell be working as intended.

To this person ./salute

Cheesy as can be but damn effective.

Wabba still looks good for battles. It is locked out tonight with a queue. There were a few campaigns with one faction locked out but only wabba was full all. I had some fun but when the slow FPS bug hit I had to relog and would be exited cyrodiil and would have to fight the q to reenter. Either deal with shutter speed or the q.

I'd just like to say nicely fought to friends and foe alike! I had a blast this campaign and look forward to continuing!

I really like the new blood in wabbajack..new enemy teams with new strategies. New hiding places and new competition. I hadn't realized that the old competition had become a little predictable.

New blood has mixed things up

Which ability did fixale/Nicole group use to due with zerg?

mikeymike2785b14_ESO

Scroll is DROPPED AT FAREGYL and an AD named Smoked picks it up...

EP kills SMOKED, grabs it.....


SERVER DROP!!!!

/rollback

Altadoon is outside Faregyl

Scroll is DROPPED AT FAREGYL and an AD named Smoked picks it up...

EP kills SMOKED, grabs it.....

EP drops it

AD returns the scroll....

Two rollbacks, two pickups by the SAME AD!!!!! most EP ARE AT MORROWIND GATE YET THIS *** IS AT THE SCROLL?!?!

Well, it was Fixate who was the killer most of the time. He was tanking but managed to have a very low banner cost - and he used it pretty much non stop.

So, really it was two DK's with talons / banners and nicole dropping AE on the DK's that was killing everyone.

Pulsar spam is the "new way" to counter zergs - or run multiple boxes.

Probably best to friend AD when it comes down to the last 3 days of fighting between EP/DC.

Oceanic AD already chose DC to befriend.

And they got all those ults by hitting multiple people with oil.

Lets be fair here...The people "countering zergs" with Pulsar Spam are usually Zergs themselves.

So... how did AD capture Chim Scroll without getting Kingscrest to unlock the Gate?

And I know it's not "they waited inside", it was closed for at least 5 hours before the Scroll was taken. AD's never waited more than 20 minutes inside after the gates closed to try for the Scrolls.

It's undeniably effective, but what a tremendously boring way to play. Stick in a tight bunch and spam your '1' key? I guess you get to refresh Crit Surge every twenty seconds, and you might have a slot in a Rapid Manuevers rotation. But still.. yawn.

There's no actual prize money for winning. I think I'd rather stick to the small-group stuff that's actually fun

Wasn't there a patch that was supposed to address this issue? guess they didn't fix anything for pvp. Surprise surprise.

The patch only affected terrain exploiting over the walls, which works fine now (supposedly). But some people in zone chat were saying you could still spawn at the enemy zones, but I can't confirm it. Anyways, might still need fixing.

Also, *** was EP doing while the AD ran it out past 3-4 keeps under our control? Picking flowers?

Tintinabula

what are we supposed to do at 2 fps?

drop some acid and enjoy the pretty lights, I guess...

Zintair

Who needs the acid with that epic epilepsy inducing stop action gameplay lolol.

It has gotten better however, consider I was spamming Healing Springs it happened quite often to me, now it is just when many people get into a fight its a 50/50 chance.

Seems to be multiple memory leaks from the new particle effects they introduced in that patch.

Tintinabula

Its really odd. If I run into a fight my fps drops but if I relog during the fight and log back into the area..no troubles.

Did a lot of people leave Wabbajack to other campaigns because I have not seem the populations lock out the past few nights?

My guild left because of the oceanic AD. if we don't stay on into the wee hours of the morning nobody does and they just turn the map yellow. Doesn't matter how good we are we can't win because we have no oceanic presence.
