Dawnbreaker NA - Reloaded

murtugo · July 2014

I'm Asian so that makes me a nightcapper in your timezone... You should understand that in our part of the globe, it's you who is the nightcapper. So, basically, the feeling is mutual.

Please stop acting like you own the world. We are part of it whether you like it or not.

bitaken · July 2014

I have a crew from Malaysia that play with my daylight crew. I have a few other that play from Australia and one from Japan. The difference between me re-capping all my home keeps back - every single day - and then pushing to get a couple scrolls so we don't lose ground on the scoreboard - and you guys turning everything red - leaving your opponents with zero points - is pretty significant.

The difference between us and EP

We don't blue out the map from your so-called night capping. Why? Because we don't find it fair and we don't like to PvDoors. Apparently you guys love to do it.

murtugo · July 2014

So, we can turn the map red on your prime time (while we are sleeping) but not on ours? How come this is fair?

The world is round... You just need to accept that reality.

No, this happened for a reason. Its back like four pages actually.

We poked blue a little too hard capping them all the way to their gates yesterday. I knew this was going to happen.

The fact we have somehow held on to four of the six home keeps is amazing given the raw numbers both DC and EP have had all night, all of them hitting us, often simultaneously.

And yeah Bit, that was one insane push out of Fare, we got most of the way to Roe before we realized Eros' group had finally released without a local camp.

As much as I wanted to rez at roe to help my team, I accepted a rez near faregyl. Just in time to tell my buds that were seiging roe: Holy Banana's Batman! it's a yellow sea and it's heading your way!

The point you are missing is the map doesn't get turned blue, by choice.

Hey now - i managed to kill your runner - I had me and a templar - I'm totally specced for heals.

The funny thing was watching your people trying to pick it up with my caltrops all over it. It worked out for a quick 2K AP

Sorry Barnabas... I misunderstood. I thought we are branded as "nightcappers" merely because we play while you guys are sleeping. Not our fault really because we live in the opposite side of the globe.

So, what you are really complaining is because EP turn the map red? Sorry but there is nothing really I can do about that because I am just one insignificant Asian EP soldier who dies more than I can kill.

I am just offended because I thought we are branded as "nightcappers" simply because of our time zone.

Sorry, I'm calling bullocks. EP Oceanic crew basically use this server to farm emp and cycle them thru.

Sadly I have seen enough of zone chat to know that there is a significant amount of broad truth to that claim. (I can't speak to any specific crew, it's a general comment)

LonePirate · July 2014

It's funny to read DC complaining about the EP night cappers driving people away while DC maintains a healthy 6K or so point lead in the campaign. Then there is the fact that EP's control seldom lasts more than three or four hours in a day. AD had already started retaking keeps as of a couple of hours ago. Has the yellow wave continued this morning (NA time)?

bitaken · July 2014

There were quite a few that captured Alma Ruma - for about...15 minutes - then we took that baby home. Not much of a fight to take that home keep from 20 or so AD and we had 18.

Nevermind, was thinking of a different keep. Was wondering what happened to farragut after I left for work this morning.

There is nothing solid about turning a map red while everyone else is asleep. Go play on a server where others play at your time. PvE'ing a map against mobs is not skill - is not fun - and is not really cool on a server that sees good fights the REST of the time for everything. Weekdays during the day time the server is light but there are still people on from all three factions.

The reality is - you don't want PvP - you don't want competition - you want to PvE for the PvP rewards and have found a server where you can do that.

Hint: go to volendrung or Chrysamere and you want have to do much of anything.

arnt you feeling a bit over entitled?

we set the server day 1 as our home. if you also put it from day 1 your home. then by all logical no one has the right to tell the other GTFO

I totally agree with you that capping NPC keeps sucks and around those times I am mostly preferring levelling my alt. and when that is done I probably go for a larger pop server. but that doesn't change the fact that we are a bunch of people playing the game. our intention isn't closing the server (least what I got told) besides yesterday we had some pretty epic fights. AD - DC - EP, I enjoyed it. and so should you try to enjoy it a tad bit more.

Sorry, I'm calling bullocks. EP Oceanic crew basically use this server to farm emp and cycle them thru. The EP on this server is horrific. Last night alone we witnessed on 7 different occasions where EP will not hit a resource that is defended unless they have 20 siege hitting the area and blanketing everything. They don't know how to take defended keeps - they did not take one from me yesterday anyhow - I doubt AD lost a defended keep to EP last night - and they are so bad at fighting in the open field that they put siege engines down to fight for them. Because, you know hitting that FIRE button is so much easier than thinking of a combination of CC and DPS and healing that would allow the EP on this server to kill people by fighting them.

I know groups love to sneak an oil pot in on people and either A) make a comeback with a well timed oil pot - or B - use a meatbag on a massive force to get a wipe - or C - get an oil cat down to snare them so they can't run away - but my group will rarely do these things in an even fight - or even most of the time on this server - in an outnumbered situation. I laugh at the fact that when we defend a resource or keep like at Faregyl we hold out for 10-15 minutes with 10-12 guys against (last night against AD) 70+ maybe even 100+ but when I see 12 EP in a tower I just use our normal tactic and we lose no one and get to burn 15 oil pots and kill EP as well. The fights at Chalman last night where we would go outside wipe 30 EP and then turn and come inside and find EP in the northeast tower with 10 people and 15 oil pots - and we would clear them with zero fatalities were just hilarious.

And, clearly, I don't give .02 about my "home" server not being Dawn last campaign. EHJ was on Wabbajack from day one all last 90 day campaign. http://nullsignifier.blogspot.jp/2014/07/letters-from-tamriel-part-iv-war-in.html and when every single ex emperor from AD decided to make Wabba their new home for this current campaign cycle - I said - NAH - and looked for a server where we would be outnumbered, under dog, and fighting an uphill battle, but not fighting every exploiting 24 hour around the clock playing emperor the game has seen in one place.

If you guys decide to keep night capping the entire map you will just end up in a two faction campaign again - or possibly even a one faction campaign. DC here was in second place when EHJ got here and I would like to think we are an integral reason why we as a faction are now holding the top spot on the scoreboard - albeit in wide fluctuations of points per hour throughout the day. Do you really want a two way fight with DC so under-pop they cannot put up a fight? Then...go to volen or Chrysamere.

again with that misplaced Ego of yours. its diving up and down in nearly every of your sentences. I should resend this hole message back to you and let you rewrite it. your a dude. who is in line for emp? there spend average 10 hours online so just about enough time to go to school/work. but your not awesome. not in my book (jet) your just a person so save all that glorification for your buddies. or save it for your GF as after-sex-story. but please men put that ego away. and respond again to my message I swear I give it a serious read and reply. but I am not sitting here to stroke your ego.

About 20 or so AD came in and stole the scroll but left the keeps, I knocked the scroll runner to the ground 3 times but couldn't keep it up on my own, then stopped for a fun 1v1 with Corvo Adam

That sounds weird coming from AD, aka the only alliance getting regular pop locks during NA primetime on DB.

Sheer numbers have nothing to do with intelligence.

I already got mine like a dozen times over from that Lord Folgers Crystals guy they had earlier this week.

At least Warz can do something resembling damage.

Don't worry, after that little debacle I made sure to pull Folgar aside and help him with builds / playstyle.

Being a team player and all.

That offer goes to any other EP as well. Just ask.

I certainly hope so, because that was the first emperor I have ever met that literally I couldnt take seriously.

You expect to get destroyed by a DK emp, not be able to sit there and laugh on TS while you tank him for three minutes straight solo. (and almost actually kill him solo as well, if he hadnt had 1500 more health than me, I would have killed him.)

We were completely baffled, especially considering he kept taking off and doing what seemed to be his own thing all of the time, by himself.

If EP would stop doing it to us - things might get different. However, every night we log out we know we are coming back to nothing the next morning. Luckily, we had a stalwart crew of 6 defend stuff last night and we did not lose glade / rayles and warden. However, We fixed all that today.

Anyway, the only reason we de-throned the current emp before primetime is so that warz can get it. However much we may PvP on here Warz you get a lot of respect for taking the punishment you do in our TS. You are way better than the energizer bunny man.

So - I know you're next in line - we de-throned the guy today so that you can be all excited about it. Oh - pro tip - don't abdicate the campaign you earned it.

Rylana · July 2014

On another note, this campaign is literally getting unhealthy. I took last night off early because I am literally staying up so much I am getting ill. This spread out numbers overnight thing is getting ridiculous. We need an oceanic guild so we dont have to stay up all hours.

Fits the server pretty well. Emperor Wars, if you get me.

It's not that they're doing it to you, personally, it's that they're doing it to yellow.

Valnas was the first overnight emp flip that I'm aware of. After EP had worked every prime time, hours on end, to prevent the crowning, they flipped Chalman at 10 minutes until server downtime, when maintenance notices were coming up and people logging off.

That was on the morning after there'd been a full, multi-hour long siege of Chalman defended to the bitter end. One night previous to that I'd stayed up to 5 am and kept the flip from happening, wiping Valnas's crew approx. 20 times (that is not an exaggeration) in the Chalman inner keep. It's why the Chalamo nickname started to stick.

After that the night capping started in earnest.

When I could stay up again to talk to the late night guys on he weekend, I asked them to at least leave the yellow inner keeps and scroll alone (which they did) to keep the server balanced and not cheese too many folks off. It didn't help, and we had yellow (Rylana mainly) screaming up and down how they'd call DiE in to zerg the server yellow.

This was followed by more yellow nightcapping (which I screenshotted).

I think what I'm getting at is -- everyone's hands are dirty.

Blue daycaps just as much here as they did on my home server of Bloodthorn. Yellow nightcaps just like EP does.
