I love playing AD

rk1101320

That new campaign started and the population seems to be pretty well balanced, had a lot fun playing AD because we was able to pick up fights everywhere.
Can t wait for the group test change.

I only pvp for AD on pc and ps4. I love AD. On ps4 i think we might be a total chaos of an alliance, but it's great. When i dared to make my first pvp char, it was a woodelf stamblade and i didn't have "any race, any alliance" at the time, so AD was the only option. So then it just stuck. I do have many ep chars, cause at first all i had were dunmers. And i did play the "Shor" campaing on red sometimes, but it was confusing, i kept sieging red castles and stuff. I realized i'm just yellow and it can't be fixed

I don't play AD, but I agree, this campaign is more balanced than when many people were all playing EP. I want to thank those players who have switched their faction and made the game more competitive and balanced.

Yea it was fun until EP/DC kissed and made up.

This is really balanced.....for DC and EP that hardly fight each other at all and just gate AD every day.
The only thing different is that is blue doing it this month and not red

Next month it will be red again when all the DC/EP go back to EP

Purple alliance is a common thing on every server i see.
However, on your picture you fight one faction.

This screenshot is the real meaning or purple alliance:

Fun fact, we managed to defend both scrolls, never seen AD so organised and it was probably the most intense and awesome map fights i've experienced last month.

Which server do you play on?
On PCNA Standard 30 days CP Cyrodiil, AD is dominating recently.

It comes and it goes, perhaps you've visited at AD's peak. It's been a fun campaign so fun in some respects.
DC are very strong but have their low pop moments like the rest of us
Then Pillaged by a rampant one colour or another to the point of its time to leave and do something else.

EP well, I hear politics and other semi salty rumours, the bully is getting picked on that kind of stuff.
I fear AD's complacency will see Achoo have the last larf.

Personally I'm having a blast watching faction members burn in oil, while I'm sitting all rosey until sniped a thousand times.

BRogueNZ

Actually probably only once.

Also joking about having a blast. I guess funny wtf more than funny haha

EP is going to come back in a big way because they still night cap. They have made up a 5k point deficit in 3 weeks time.

So after all the big talk ahtu will still have the last laugh 😆

Silly question, AD. if you or EP have the DC scrolls, why the heck do you keep attacking Rayles and Warden? Are you afraid of attacking the EP? You have nothing to gain from those keeps except the uniting DC to start pushing you back. This is not something new. DC will be at only the trikeeps with no scrolls, EP pushing deep into AD territory and Rayles will have 20 AD siege on it.

Yeah, I know that it is the nature of the game, but really, if a faction is down to trikeeps and has no scrolls, then there is no reason to keep pushing it. That goes for any faction, but it is a common thing with AD.

I generally dont run with the groups that constantly assault Rayles, but it might be because Blues pretty much do the same thing with Black Boot. Some fort of ***-for-tat type thing probably.

Telel

Telel doesn't always go after Raylaes. But when they do they often end up singing.

They also do it in response to yet another attempt to pvdoor Brindle with a couple of raids. Often while dragonclaw and Aleswell is red, and EP is pouring down onto Alessia.

DUTCH_REAPER

I cannot fathom how or why the DC community in PCNA are constantly pushing for Brindle or Chal (almost ALWAYS Chal) when Dragon is red and Bruma and WP are red as well. It is absolutely mind boggling.

StevieKingslayer

I do enjoy how you keep Mr Emperor of EP busy with scroll trolls, xD

DC had been always have some kind of unhealthy obsession with chalman.

Oh, one thing that will make EP probably win or at least second place this campaign is actually DC. They’ve been helping EP catching up point by lending their scroll for days. Ni-Mohk been parked at farragut for almost a week now.

DUTCH_REAPER

That and half of the players show up with zero siege. Like none. They squirrel of and chase a tank instead of sieging.

Mr_Nobody

AD is probably the best faction of the 3. Its always DC and EP fighting, then you notice there is yellows around. You bang them, then they assist either of the alliances, game over.

Its always either team Purple or team Green.

AD will win this campaign but you guys seriously need to learn how to use sieges instead of croutching with your bow

Isn’t that the guild called Dominated Dominion that loves feeding AP?

man the only way we get our pugs to siege is to remind them that ballistas are just big bows

biminirwb17_ESO

Even AD Mag Sorcs use bows, yet they still take DC keeps

i still hate the title of this thread even if it is just a reference to an EP thread.


but still, seeing such a competitive campaign after months of crap, and seeing AD and DC just be fed up with EP and Ahtu and just smash them to the gates over and over for those first weeks, was great.

i hope EP knows that Ahtu was the reason, and maybe acts better in the future.

and all factions have good and bad players, just kind of how it goes, i have been rekt by 2-3 good players and able to laugh at a dozen pew pewing with light attacks, all in the same faction, just how it goes.

i was very pleased with AD near the end of this campaign a few times, we dont have many large guilds, nor do we rely on them. about 5-6 of us just long time solo players just talk in zone, and the pugs listen and react, we had some great fast back and forth switching to east and west fronts thanks to some sold zone chat generals and fast call outs.

also, AD has a long time saying: EP = DC = EP = DC

the tests have really thrown PvP into Chaos, but this campaign was solid and competitive for a very long time, hope it continues.

Every faction thinks that the others are allied against them, only rarely does it ever have any merit and to think otherwise is ridiculous. Some frustration against a specific faction that usually dominates ends up with that faction usually being the worst for a few campaigns, and particularly targeted for "retribution". Then one of the 2 other factions becomes the powerhouse for a bit until eventually the other 2 factions target them for "retribution" and so forth. This isn't by any means a hard and fast rule.

When I first started shortly after launch (no idea the campaign) AD was by far the most populous and dominant faction with dc being the smaller scale better players and ep basically relying on dc to keep ad off of them. Then dc became the dominant faction with people leaving ad because of the number disparity. Then it was EP.

Right now it's EPs turn to be targeted for "retribution", at some point some people on EP who just want to hop on the badwagon will leave, and either DC or AD will be the dominant faction until EP and the other faction target them for "retribution" and so forth. To blame whatever you want on 1 player is hardly appropriate and doesn't exactly make much sense.

eh its less of a conspiracy in AD's case.

back when DC was the smallest faction at launch, rarely getting up to pop lock and often being only 2 bar (this was in pvp prime btw) and EP was constantly pop locked, a few large EP guilds re rolled to DC to even out the pop.

this was the beginning of EP = DC.

now everyone fights every faction, but there has always been this mentality of "the real enemy is in the south" and once again, EP guilds went to DC with the recent EP exodus.

just how it goes.

I wish I could share the enthusiasm for AD, but I cannot. I have been in Cyrodill for several years and ADs overall push to take back keeps and consistently attempt to kill campaigns is the biggest reason I am not a fan. EP has its in faction fighting, and working together seems to be a challenge for them to move coordinately a lot of the time. When I played EP, I always went looking for fights with DC, why because I wanted good fights, not 24 v 2 or 10 v 1, just good fights. That being said, I think PVP is always going to revolve around the individual experience. So play how you like it and have fun. Every faction has ball groups, every faction zergs, every faction has its challenges. If you can't have fun you have the ability to do other things in game or stay and be unhappy. ZoS can try to fix game issues but some of the issue are people issues they have no control over.

Most of us who’ve been DC since launch are also baffled by this. Half of our faction will stay at Chal even if we’re losing Glade. It honestly is as entertaining as it is maddening.
