Icereach PC NA (Mulaamnir/Kyne/BWB NA PC - Final... Part 2)

I know how to have substantial AP gain. It is rare when it’s not freely given.

It is highly likely that this player did save the scroll boon. However the substantial rate of gain was beyond the two hour limit.

And the player clearly didn’t solo defend anything that was under siege as I was at each AD battle last night. The population was far too low to have multiple battles at the same time. And yes I’ve killed up to two dozen players solo defending, with oils, it’s a great AP boost but also very rare to accomplish since most players know how to not die to oils.

The player likely was somewhere to gain a defense bonus. But did not activate any battle icon, which requires three players deaths, nor lit any keep. So the most plausible conclusion is that this player just had a couple guild members repeatedly suicide themselves against this player multiple times. Somewhere where they can get the defense tick without losing enemy player health percentage to NPCs.

Player AP value is based on a few factors, but the biggest one is their PvP rank. How much damage you do to the player percentage wise... etc etc. Under 50, the highest you can reach that I've ever seen is Captain.

People regularly go inside delves in Cyrodiil to fight the delve boss.. after the boss is defeated a buff will be placed on you.. the blessing of war. That gives you 20% more AP for 1 hour.

Many players who work for emp don't really fight that much.. they're too busy repping.. I call them janitor emps. Most likely that person was busy repping trikeeps. That's why you didn't see him around. Not that I'm criticizing the person.. I mean if you want to work on becoming emp.. you gotta mop the floor first

Making an emp push is not fun. It can be quite competitive if another person has the same agenda. Oh and make sure you're in a guild that supports you.. that's important.

Yeah, the one time I actually pushed for emp, Fucia was ahead of me and apparently needed less sleep than me... Ended up 2nd on the boards that campaign... One of these days...

I dunno, I *** up AP better than most and I’ve literally never had an issue beating even intentionally boosting folks. Generally speaking, you aren’t taking advantage of small gains like consistent delve buff, powered weapons for repairing during down time, or a competent enough solo player to reliably get kills.

And when I say repairing, I don’t mean just repairing all the time - last time I checked for wearing a couple of crafted + healing done sets, with delve buff, it’s somewhere around 40k AP/h assuming you have things to repair and that volume went down with resource towers being immune to damage. That’s with just repairing and can easily be beaten just by robust soloing. Basically, in off-hours you exist to watch the map when you emp push in a lower pop campaign because you need to be part of every single tick. If you miss out on a tick, you lost your opportunity. Otherwise, in lower volume hours essentially what I do is pop around to all defendable keeps, leech O ticks, do solo defenses because I’m the only one showing up at Drake or something, and then repair when there isn’t a clear battle on the map or something the zone pug leaders are advocating for. Pretty reliably I make 80-100k AP/h in nonvet when I’m actually emp pushing.

That said, if you’re on the advantaged team, someone keeps their mid year buff, you’re just borked.

We're all stuck in a load screen

I am still here. Doing my dailies, popping my head into Cyrodiil now and then, and even checking the forums. #ESOlifer.

Popped into the campaign to just putz around and was getting bad lag. Anyone else had similar experiences?

Stridig

Yep. Some days are good and some days are unplayable. Not sure what caused it.

Lumsdenml

Jumped into u50 last Friday and had some really good fights. Ep trying to dethrone against a DC emp and a group of pretty good players. Got our backsides handed to us a couple of times until we got a few more in, then hard fight around the emp ring to finally dethrone. It really was a little throwback to 2017...

Merry Christmas to all of you that may still be poking around in here.

I poke around here once in a while... obviously not very often as I'm responding to this after the new year! Hope you and yours are well for the new year!

Came poking around while drinking, for old times sake. Belated "Merry merry" and "Happy happy".

Sundark on steam, should anyone be interested; old and thick skinned if not. Not playing much besides Pubg and Titanfall2 currently, but always enjoyed this community.

Cya ladies, gents. Good hunting.

Dang.... I'm playing PUBG a bunch. I'll reach out to you on steam this weekend!

But there seems to be a whole bunch of Sundark's on Steam so....

Anyone planning on coming back for a little Whitestrake’s Mayhem?

Stridig

Maybe....
The lag has gotten so bad that I just hate playing.

Whats a Cyrodiil

Are you having issues with lag? I experience it sometimes in Ravenwatch, but almost never in icereach. I won't even talk about greyhost...

Gederic

Who still plays in this campaign actively? That could be a determining factor

I guess that depends on your definition of actively... I'm probably in on average 3-4 hours a week.

Gederic

30 minutes in and I see nothing has changed. Full pop AD steamrolling like 6 collective DC and EP. Lmao... Yikes.

The real key is that the alliance doesn't matter. Time is a flat circle.

Hmmm, the Yellow King

BLOOD FOR THE PACT!

Hi kids!

Adenoma

Rumor is the lag got fixed?

Beaverton

Lag is waaaaay better in Greyhost.

In small fights I rarely notice it (except against select small man groups . . . .)

In giant fights I still get some and in those fights I sometimes get stuttering but for me it is about 90%better.

My ping dropped from about 250 average to 150 average.
