Well each faction has their own dominant campaign side, i guess we can all safely say that this one belongs to Ebonheart.

Auriel is the only place wherein there is a constant war between the 3

with Vokundein gone (and our friends TKrs) i don't see EP making much of a stand any longer. the current EP were stomped by the DC DK vamp team on Wednesday while we were guesting elsewhere. we wanted to leave you all in a good place and demonstrate what it looks like when we're in play before taking off.

good luck Goldbrand, wishing you all the best!

@Kriss‌

We very much appreciated your help but we're well capable of turning the map red without ya'll and have done so on multiple occasions.

Alandauron

You'll see plenty of red on the map even without Vokundein. Unfortunately we're looking for fights and DC is just looking to exploit the system and crown every member emperor then leave for the skill line.

We want them to come out and fight, they want us to take back the emperor each time so they can continue to exploit. It's a dilemma for us right now...

Who got stomped? You mean after we logged off and weren't around...yea sure they stomped us while we were away. I thought Vokundein was going to be a beneficial ally, but you guys seem to only be interested in stroking your own epeens.

Now DC has everything, i swear i've never seen EP take over cyrodiil. Still, i'm only on this campaign just because of the small population, so i could actually take skyshards and do the cyrodiil quests. It almost feels like a game of DayZ going out there with few people from other factions around doing the same.

NordJitsu

@berit‌

We actually stomped them in every engagement. The problem is that they night cap everything and we can't be a 24/7 presence with just one guild out there.

They have never once taken a keep defended by us.

'want more AD players' you say?

we're an obliging lot

We're actually probably gonna leave the campaign alone for a while and guest.

Its come to our attention that a group is trying to exploit the system to gain Emperor for their entire guild. They're night capping the Emperor keeps when we're sleeping knowing that we'll just take it back the next day. Whoever gets crowned Emp then leaves the campaign. When we go to bed that night, they repeat the process.

So they're farming the Emperor line.

Could we do the same? Sure. But that's a weasel thing to do and we're not going to participate in it.

I think @ZOS_JessicaFolsom‌ and @ZOS_GinaBruno‌ should make clear whether this is something that they're willing to put up with, since its clearly using game mechanics other than as intended.

So good luck guys. Vokundein and the Keepers left. We're considering leaving as well, because we're not going to play your game.

EP would have great need of you on Skull Crusher

I wouldn't use the word exploit. It's just cheesy. Besides the Emperor line isn't that great when you aren't emp and is a JOKE compared to what they are currently doing.

I also find it humorous that you yourself have messaged me in game informing me that they are taking all the Keeps and will get Emperor. The campaign remained Blue for the next 24 hours until we came out on Thursday.

So I fail to see how you were sleeping or how you turned it back red anytime. You sure stretch the truth here greatly....

It saddens me to see something like this.

blackwolf7

Last time i checked it was still pretty much red. When did dc took over? I need to take some shards in ad and ep part of the map. Im going to take the opportunity while dc is still dominating here. Is dc dominany atm? Im on vacation and cant check

DC took everything on Wedsnesday while we were guesting on Wabbajack. We came back Thursday for an impromptu raid and took 4 scrolls back and claimed the entire north of the Map for Red again.

Not sure if the DC guys are still on the server however. There are just a couple with some very good organization and some combination of abilities that need to be toned down.

NordJitsu

@Zintair‌

No one is stretching anything. I wasn't in PvP when they were taking those keeps, just about 3 of my guys asking for help. The rest were, yes, sleeping. But the first time they did it there was a large group, now its a smaller group who wants to try to farm Emperor.

Like you said, you guys were guesting. Since you weren't there you've realistically got no idea what happened.

We held and turned the map several times without you guys, including once before you even joined the campaign. I get that you're proud of your group, but there's no reason to try to belittle other people's accomplishments.

Unless I'm mistaken, the top 10 was filled with 9 guys from my guild. And like @AnteCoyote‌ said, he doesn't even know your group.

I'm also sad to see you posting something like you just did though.

This, so much this. Your guys seem to enjoy coming on here and trash talking anyone that isn't with you. As I said previously, I was hoping Vokundein was going to be a helpful ally, but all you guys are interested in doing is taking credit where it isn't due.

Did you get into Cyrodil and take the majority of the map, sure, but when you have your enemy outnumbered that's not hard. A couple of our guys were asking for help because they were vastly outnumbered, you guys refused to go help. That's fine, your choice, but as a supposed ally that's a crap thing to do.

I know, no one from your group was emperor, I guess without that incentive you had no reason to defend right? Anyway we've found some others that act more like allies than glory fiends so hope you the best wherever you go.

NordJitsu

Just to add, its rather convenient that you "took back the map" on the same night that we had a raid scheduled to take back the map. You guys were absolutely helpful and I wouldn't deny that, but I dare say things would have gone exactly the same without you (but possibly a bit slower.)

AnteCoyote

AD had an issue with glory hogs as well. The Guild Who Shall Not Be Named notoriously did not share any of their plans, and every time they ninja capped a keep they'd spam zone with their name. Since they've left, every Aldmeri assault and defense has pretty much been every willing person in the campaign working together. We don't have the numbers to accomplish much otherwise. We're not organized, but we're doing better then we were.

AnteCoyote

EP responds to being rolled by zerging. DC responds to being rolled with broken builds. AD responds to being rolled by ragequitting. It's a little disheartening.

Stomped us every engagement huh?

http://www.twitch.tv/ilotusvaider/c/4083782

Looks like the three of us against your emperor and fifteen more, underneath your own farm, won.

So, yeah. Nord Jitsu, calm down and collect yourself, lying gets you nowhere.

Also, how is working points exploiting?
We earned more points than the people prior, and passed them, trying for emperor.

Vaider rage-quit the campaign as an emperor, due to a severe lack of skilled players to go against.
This bugged the emperorship, so we're letting ya'll take the keeps, to unbug the emperor seat, so we can have the golden glory of dominating you.

So because we're trying to unbug it, we're exploiting?

We're LETTING you have the map back, to fix a bug. Calm down with the accusations.

Also, its called having a life, our "night team"? We took what time we could to work the map, and we worked it good.
Good enough to chase you out.

With love,

LMAO!!

You forget how to count?

Not even sure how many of your own you had I see, counted 5, all VR8+. If you guys would have lost a fight where you got the surprise attack like that while the enemy was rezzing it would have been really embarrassing, especially when the other team had mostly sub-50s.

The enemy force was about 10 from what the video shows. Half or more were sub-50s, looking less and less impressive.

I will give you guys this much, you do a better job of making sure to get each other back up. Might have something to do with all being VR and having taken the time to make sure everyone has soul gems, or just might be an oversight on the other team.Sorry watched it again, your guys were respawning somewhere close by. That helps too, having a quick way to get back into the fight.

Sorry I wasn't there for that, but unfortunately I am sub-level as well so I probably wouldn't have made a huge difference.

I was going to not mention this but I remember a particular engagement where you ran from a sub-level because you couldn't get close enough to do your standard/broken talons combo. It was upstairs in a keep with only you vs a sub-level NB, that must have been embarrassing, just saying.

So before you go and start talking trash about a single engagement try to think about the times you were being embarrassed.

Alandauron

double post...

SirAndy

What's with all the *** measuring here lately?

4 of us got jumped by a large DC zerg tonight and we died. Oh the horror ...

What makes that somewhat funny is that we were a cross faction group (3 EP and 1 AD) and we were trying to do a dungeon run together.
Weren't even looking for a fight and made it all the way across the map to the dungeon together just to get steamrolled right in front of it.

AnteCoyote

For how much you guys seem to hate each other you sure seem to love rolling over AD. Take your anger out on us, why don't you? Calm yourselves down. Or, you know, keep rolling over AD, DC. Let EP have Emperor. Fight a small group of randoms with a large group of broken builds and pocket healers. At least you're showing Zenimax what needs to be nerfed.

vaider

If you watch the video a bit closer you'll see that A) there are more vets than you say. and It's also their empress. which im not sure if you've seen the emperor stats 100% more ult gain 100% more IN COMBAT health stamina and magicka gains 50% healing effectiveness and 100% more base health magicka and stamina. If as an emperor you cannot win against 3 people with more number you blow. side note that empress was a templar with 50% more healing...cant heal your buds?

You chased us out because one of you was crowned Emperor after you night flipped, that Emperor left. Another of you was crowned Emperor after you flipped while none of us was on again, that Emperor left.

A saying comes to mind..."Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me." Now that the pugs(which some believe is just you guys using EP alts) have taken back Emperor for EP when will the next uncontested DC flip be?

This time I think it will be you getting the Emperor right Dragon Knight? So are you going to rage quit due to no challenge also? If so I completely understand, there is absolutely no challenge when you flip a map when no one is online to contest you .

@vaider
DK Vamp, standard/broken talons. VR8+ on all members, VR gear on all members.
EDIT: Silly me, I was counting arrows instead of watching the group in the top left. You actually had 6 when you were finally able to overcome the opposing group. So only outnumbered by 4 and you had MORE VR players and all at a higher lvl.

1 Empress, VR2(Rizzllaa), VR2(Leighton), VR2(Kajii), VR1(Mok'Tou), VR1(Mcswine), 5 total VRs highest being VR2. The rest are sub-level. I did watch the video, did you?

Also this was one of our first encounters with you guys, we weren't used to the spamming of standard/broken talons yet . We were aware of it but so far hadn't encountered it.

AnteCoyote

Here is something cute I noticed. AD, DC and EP all are fighting over a keep. More specifically, DC snuck in behind AD to take them out as they were fighting in the inner wall, then blue sat up in the tower. Both AD and EP keep running in and dying trying to get them out of there. It's pretty rough with all of that AOE damage. We keep sneaking in, we keep dying.

Then EP repairs the wall. DC lets them. We take it down again. DC comes out and wipes most of us. I run outside and stealth. DC runs back in and within seconds EP is repairing the wall again.

Seriously, guys? AD doesn't like your little "staged battle" plan, so you do it with EP instead? You guys are feeding these guys now? Why? Do you want them to leave, so you're helping to get them emperor or are these your friends? This is messed up. I don't want to give up on the campaign, but it's being used as nothing more then a tool to make these players' characters even more broken then they already are. Cute. Real cute.

vaider

Watch the health bars. We had more people come in at the very end turd troll. we 3 maned it. and we never night flipped we pushed rizzllaa out with her defending with her purchasing mages and with her using her OP seige buffs

vaider

So you're saying that because we had three vets at a higher level we're guaranteed to win against a vet emperor 4 other vets and 5 to maybe more non vets? the other people in our group were coming to aid but didnt get there till at the very end AFTER rizzllaa already died.
