Yeah, it's always nice to see bit more people and balanced sides. Just keep the lag in Thornblade and you all be welcomed anytime

... with pleasure

the Aldmeri Council with all allied guilds welcomes all aldmeri ... and awaits all our enemies ^^

Decimation Elite stands always readybfor battle

Don't have much time to play due to work, did the lowered campaign caps make Azuras more lively (especially during the day and night, evenings have been great for quite soem time already)?

On a different matter? Does anyone know the current "number of players" on AD side? I'm curious regarding what rank is needed for the 2% reward bracket but don't feel like farming the AP needed for my PvE char to switch campaigns, make <10AP and check the position and switch back to Haderus.

for me, healthy campaign means you can find multiple spots to fight at at any given time. if one faction holds all keeps, this is often not the case. likewise if player counts drop to <10 for a faction for more than a few hours at night, this is problematic.

if the campaign scoring is dominated by one faction, that doesn't really matter to me. rewards are worthless and an efficient way to do somethign for the campaign actually includes ninja'ing multiple keeps. Hence trying to get it done without defenders. That's PvE and the reason why I almost never look at that scoring

indeed, a red night-raid-group turned in the first two weeks after campaign start every castle and resource (maybe pve-emperors? ^^)

in my experience, most of the time the population ratio is:
dc 1 / ad 1 / ep 2 (feel free to correct me)

in the morning and afternoon ep defends all resource fiercely against ad, but in the evening ad take more and more keeps. after recapture of roebeck and allesia most action is about sejanus, blueroad and arrius.

at the moment ad is not strong enough to turn emperor within the week. some work to do on that issue.

... but at the weekend the "mostly" peaceful ´mer come out of their pve-dungeons and try to have some fun playing drums in cyrodiil - after some humps of beer and wine they got bored and try to paint the map yellow


i think ad is focused mostly on ep, dc is everytime an issue - true, but ep is more hated cause of their massive numbers ^^

in the last days it seems some people joined from thornblade - cause of the server limits i think. from an ad point of view unfortunately mostly ep - makes the population ratio even more unbalanced, but thats life - adapt or leave i like to say.


enough words punished, c ya in cyrodiil

damn, after fighting hard to keep Printdream as an emp, I thought we made it when red numbers were finally declining at about 2:30.
when i got my hireling mail before work this morning (and after way too few hours of sleep), i was sad to see he got deposed

I don't think it is fair to blame anyone for nightcapping (except maybe the game design that allows you to take imperial keeps with 2-4 players when there is no defense). People can play whenever they want.

Does anyone know where those reds are from? i.e. is there a huge non-EU-located community there? or are those just your average nightowls? Or have they replaced skoma with coke in the northeast?

Most of our "Nightcappers" in Elite are 5 hour difference than me in Germany. We have a few from the states, dubai, middle east etc...

Yeah not really that many of them though... Sometimes when I wake up at 4 before.work... There are like 8 peeps.

and once again ... emperor

... some hours ^^

Just wanted to say thank you to EP for some entertaning fights yesterday whilst gusting over, It´s impressive that you need two raid groups to try and capture a more or less empty keep! Didn´t go to well though



"Stack up"



"nope"

We will probably guest more often whilst Thornlag is a joke

I have been on EU azura for the previous 3 campaigns now.
It flicked from yellow to blue to red and around again at various times of the day.
Numbers waxed and waned for each and often met head on.
I love this campaign....sometimes hard, sometimes easy.
Always entertaining.

Thanks everyone.

I am a night owl by the way so I am on 10pm-2am GMT when I play. Unless we decide to push for all keeps. Then I play till I drop. Many on EP done this. Depends how hard we were hit during the day I guess lol.

good morning, ep & dc

allways a pleasure!

yesterday was great fun 4 us 2! even as we lost emperor early today morning.
what a cool fight (except that we lost ^^).

the change of the aldmeri council alliance from thornblade to azura´s star was hard at the beginning, but now i doesnt want to miss it.

underpopulation of ad in the overall is still an issue but we manage.

strangely, i heard that someone on ad side hijack our autoinvite to get a full raid ^^ (tztztztz, dont do this again)

c ya later today
