[EU][AD] Chrysamere Needs more players

FPS-Art1st

Hey guys,

I play in chrysamere EU where both the daggerfall and ebonhearts vastly outnumber us, during peak times we never get our side full, the best we ever did was get it on high. whilst daggerfall and ebonheart usually get full right before peak hours.

Our campaign is pretty stable, less laggy then auriels bow, and best of all, We've been winning it since release. Today however, daggerfall barely managed to surpass us in campaign score. the reason is that we lack the seer number of people required to be active at multiple places at the same time.

The reason we've been doing so well despite this is because we have some really hardcore pvp guilds in Chrysamere. If more AD's would join our campaign, we'd win it for sure. So please everyone, when you can Guest or move here, be it for a pvp guild event or just solo players who are looking for some action where their presence makes the difference between a win or loss of the campaign, please do and help us on the road to victory.

AD is often pop locked as well , you have been leading for ages, now call for new players, don't think more players is the answer.

Actually its good to see that Crysamere has one of the most balanced campaigns.

Good luck, its a close race..

AD has been population locked once that I've seen since the very beginning of the campaign. That was when Pryda guested the campaign and all 3 factions got population locked.

AD does have and always have had (apart from the first week) the lowest population in the campaign though. DC and EP both hit locked capacity regularly while AD rarely passes 2 bars. I have never in all the time I've spent in RvR seen the AD number surpass our enemies.

As FPS-artist mentions we do need more numbers. Perhaps not during prime time when we can usually hold our own against superior numbers using superior tactics but early and late in the day when the DC vet zerg of 20-30 members reign supreme while AD has a total of 10-15 randoms online.


P.S. personally I'd rather see some organized guilds than massive numbers of randoms though. I prefer beating the enemy with tactics rather than numbers.

Rackiera

Trust me there are organised guilds not relying on numbers, we only ride as a guild no randoms, however we will support the campaign as needed.

Were the ones with the Vamp Emperor a few have moaned about or he was until yesterday, expect to get him back to his rightful place soon, stop us if u can

Be interesting to see what happens over next few weeks ..

WTB real AD opposition on Crysamere!

The only reason AD has the points they have. Is due to a huge zerg guild spending pre-release exploiting the xp grind and having no opponents at all in Crysamere.

Rackiera

Correction to my post above, we have emperor back already..

AngelofAwe

You mean Civen? Well if you stop capturing everything in the mornings when everybody is at work maybe you'll meet more opposition.

I don't want him to be emperor but at least he's very weak for an emperor. :P

Calluna

Well maybe it is empty because you cannot get into it. My friend and I saw it was pretty balanced and decided to try it out. We have been sitting at the loading queue for over 10 minutes.

Rackiera

@AngelofAwe , can't comment on the morning thing I am at work also and we don't normally do much in mornings, must be our zerg

Indeed, hes a very kind emperor who's trying really hard to win this campaign with the rest of us.

I'm in Shadow Ascension: Order of the Midnight Sun on AD in Chrysamere, and we're Allied with Crime Syndicate and a few other guilds. (that french guild rawwks btw.) We're all trying as hard as we can to not let DC get too far ahead as we've managed to keep on top for sooooo long.

We're all playing way beyond the normal amount of hours which makes it seem like there is a large AD population. But when DC and EP are on locks we usually have no more then 2 bars. We need more on Chrysamere, Especially in the morning, early afternoon and on nightly hours. Because we have horribly lost the player count game. And it's purely a well oiled engine of organised players that is keeping us in the game.

We want to have equal numbers to our opponents, sure its fun to feel like we're 300 Spartans at the gates of Thermopylae, winning battle after battle against overwhelming numbers with that same group of people. But The Spartans had the Greeks holding the Persians off at Artemisium, preventing the Persians from getting in behind them. We have no such force covering our flanks other then a small number of good random people, who let us know if they need backup in the back.

Yesterday was a prime example.

My point is, whilst we are having a hell of a good time and stand a serious chance of winning the campaign with the very few AD players we have on Chrysamere, we will be able to match DC well enough in numbers to keep winning this campaign if more AD players join us.

PS. Angel, your a good emperor man.

It wasn't intended as an insult, just an observation. Civen is currently a bit of a one trick pony spamming batswarm. While it may work very well against unorganized pugs that get close and don't understand how the skill works it's not as effective against knowledgeable players.
Which is why when he and his group encounters the CS raid he's mostly bolt escaping away without doing much damage.

I'm sure he's otherwise a cool guy though.

I think it's some guild of yours that plays around the clock. I do pretty much the same and they're always there. be it 3 am or 10 am there's always a group of 20-30 veteran rank DC players.
AD and EP both lack that, which is why you've caught up.

FPS-Art1st

If this thread helps us get the numbers we need tho, we're gonna smoke DC

Far be it from me to defend my guildmate as he's more than capable of doing that himself. As for the bat swarm, it's hardly exclusive to an individual or faction? I've seen it plenty on AD, EP, and DC so not sure where we're going with this playstyle nonsense seeing there aren't any rules of engagement to be broken. I'm sure it'll get nerfed as a skill in it's own right and so that's something for "all" Emperors to deal with. Yes, Civen is a good guy and I realise the comment wasn't meant as an insult but believe me when I say that you'd underestimate his PvP abilities at your own risk. I won't say more on that.

As for the keep taking during working hours, I can assure you that most of our guild is at work. There aren't many under 35 years old in the guild and bar a few there'd hardly be enough to dominate Chrysmere. However, I'm not denying either that I've often come home from work and found a blue map. I have no evidence of this bar my own observations but I believe it is a German guild(alliance?) that's capturing. I'm afraid I can't substantiate that though.

There's a lot to be said about numbers and we've lost and gained as EP and yourselves have but imo Chrysmaere looks like the place to be as far as campaign's go. There's other campaigns for DC,AD and EP players to go to if they want a /faceroll experience.

Numbers may play an even greater roll in the outcome of Campaigns once 1.1 hits. We'll have to wait and see.

AngelofAwe

Indeed, batswarm is currently getting abused a lot and hopefully it will get nerfed into oblivion soon enough.
I've picked up vampire myself and am currently leveling it up to try it out. I will not shed any tears if they nerf it so bad it's not worth using however, I will just go back to my old playstyle.

When it comes to Civen's personality I can only make assumptions, I know nothing about him. The only thing I can judge him on is his PvP performance.
nobody who reaches his amount of AP is a terrible player, that's for sure. But personally I'd rather see Civen as emperor than Avengers or Kanou since both of them feel like more or a threat when encountered.
That being said, obviously I don't want a blue emperor at all.

I can't say who are the ones capturing keeps in the mornings, I don't recognize names and know which guild they belong to unless it's the obvious "of Ginnunga". Ginnunga raids seem to be more active in late night capping than early morning though.
Crime syndicate has a similar average age as you then, I'm probably one of the younger members myself and currently have a lot of free time that I'm able to put into the game.

Chrysamere is indeed a fun campaign with good fights, I only wish the numbers could even our slightly during low population hours to keep the campaign scoring field as even as the battles tend to be.
During prime time I don't mind being outnumbered since we do at least have the numbers to fight.

Hopefully 1.1 and the AoE change won't make zerging as much of a valid strategy as many fear.

I'm 100% with you on that one.

Just some of the blue's own medicine.
I'm sure they'll kick me off the throne rather quickly but until then...

and thanks.

I must admit I havent seen any Teleporting Vampires on AD or EB.
Curently whats going on when I play is:

EB mostly abuses Impulse spam, training around killing everyone who dont understand the concept of getting out of the way.

DC mostly abuses batswarm both as a DK and as a Sorc, killing everyone who dont understand the concept of getting oput of the way.

AD mostly abuses the Flag concept and Olie´s tactic, killing everyone who dont understand the concept of not standing in the red circle.

All 3 teams have a thing they do a little to much

PacifistCC

Some of us don't participate mach in alliance warfare on AD's side as we're not ready for PvP and if we would be, we consider it too broken currently.

Rechecking with next bigger patch.

I don't think that was Ginnunga. It was probably some dude from one of the french guilds that have joined recently judging from the accent.
At least he was a good laugh.

I shall hereby be known as the Emperor of Potatoes.

Some nice fights yesterday, thanks AngelofAwe!

(And yeah, it was most definitely not one of our guys on your Teamspeak, we are way to old for that kind of behaviour hehe)

Yeah it was fun, let's do it again.

Civen was extremely strong with the current vampire sorcerer builds, even as emperor I can't fight his batswarm 1v1 since (I assume) his ulti cost is 0 and his bats stack.
nearly got myself killed in a matter of seconds a couple of times when I got too close. ^^

Speaking of Civen, what happened to his score? Did he reset to let someone else become emperor? Just curious.

I've had no issues with Ginnunga members as far as I know and as long as it stays that way I will respect you for your PvP dedication.

Samiri

Ohh Look at the map

FPS-Art1st

Man this neck on neck race is killing me. this is the only campaign with such a close score between any sides. its worthy of an article on the official elder scrolls news.

Samiri

Was a fun defence of the scrolls were DC got wiped like 5 times. They nearly had us several times. very much fun

Indeed, I watched it from the Ginnunga perspective through the stream recording earlier.
Organized Ginnunga raid vs organized CS raid with pugs on both sides.
Those 20 NPC mages somebody dropped down made us look like a lot more than we actually were. ^^

I didn't expect us to hold that gate but our oil catapult strategy proved very successful.
Looking forward to more action like that!

FPS-Art1st

Got a link angel ? cause this fight sounds super awesome and I have seen your stream of the fight. but id love to see theirs.
