Chillrend NA - Where cool kids go.

All Hail Emperor Bitaken!!

Agrippa_Invisus

Gratz, Bitaken.

Agrippa_Invisus

As an aside -- I know this campaign is nearly at an end for this cycle.

If blue and yellow set up farms (Arrius mine, KC LM, you know the usual suspects) -- as long as you don't enter the keep courtyard, you won't get a response from us any longer. Take your pound of flesh off those who deserve to be farmed. We want you to wipe them until your AP pools are burgeoning.

If blue reaches mathematical elimination at any point, we'll be on another campaign entirely -- farming.

I for one had a lot of fun this cycle. Here's to Round 2!

It's not over yet. According to my math Blue is still in it.

It would take us wiping the map - and I won't do to others like I would not like being done to me. The WCFC people can have their shallow victory of night caps. It's just a few extra gold. FWIW: The only time we painted it blue was right after it was done to us. Yes, we have a strong day crew and could have dominated the map every day. No, it's not fun TO do...and not fun having it done to you.

The time we were happiest in this campaign was when the score was less than 1000 points one way or the other and with good tactics and sound strategy we were consistently pushing with EP in prime time. Making gains, taking ground, and having good, quality PVP along the way.

That was the best time in Chillrend.

I miss it.

EDIT:

OTOH, I've found better acquaintances "across the aisle" so to speak than I have in my own faction at times. Sometimes competition breeds respect.

From being able to acknowledge a loss to being able to man up and apologize when you done messed up, it makes you a better person to empathize with and respect your opponent.

The type of smack talking garbage I've been seeing lately from my own faction does not reflect me, my guild, or what the other allied guilds we work with believe that people should be treated. At the end of the day there's a human being on the other side of the other monitor -- husbands, wives, sons, daughters, friends, children, students, executives.

Competition is just that, and there's always room for a little friendly ribbing.

Being a jackass is unwarranted and unwanted.

@Agrippa_Invisus‌ Unfortunately, not very many players have the same mindset you do. Although I'm sure that AD and DC have garbage rolling through there zone chat, I think it's safe to assume most of it is in EP. Imagine how much more could be accomplished if there wasn't a constant bickering of who sucks or who's a pug. Most of them sit at the gates and complain all day when instead they could be defending or taking keeps.

It's ofttimes the same ol e-peen measuring contest on the AD side, too.

AD Zone is rife with it, and I'm sure it is in DC too. Such is the interwebs =/

WCFC is pretty sick of all the bashing we've been getting (and well all know Krotha likes to troll people, so if he's bothering you just ignore him). All we want to do is play the game and be competitive. If you don't like how we roll, fine, keep it to yourself, but don't start pulling some **** on us because of it. I personally am tired of some of the cocky remarks some of our guildies have been making in zone (and I have expressed my concern with the guild). What happened last night is not how we want our relationship with Ebonheart (or any other faction for that matter) to be.

We were having fun before everyone started bashing on us (and for the most part greatly respected the other guilds from all alliances, especially some of the ones from DC). If you show us respect, we will return the favor, but at the moment we have a bunch of people in our guild who have gotten pretty sick of all the hate we've been getting recently (including myself). If you don't like someone from our guild, then ignore them but don't start hating the rest of our guild because of it.

If we work together instead of against each other, I'm sure EP could accomplish much more than we have been and bring the fun back to Chillrend like it was when I first stepped in it (before our alliance moved in) and found it to be a wonderful server with some fun and competitive groups. We came to Chillrend because we liked the community that was station there, but for the most part it seems the community has decided not to accept us.

There's trolling, and then there's what I saw last night.

When, as a guild, we're seriously considering abandoning Chillrend -- a campaign we have spent considerable hours working to advance the cause of our Alliance -- due to the fact that it has become blisteringly hostile to us, things have reached a point where there's a serious problem.

If you have a problem with a Hijinx member, bring it to myself. I am the PVP Officer and primary raid leader of the guild. If it is legitimate, it will be handled.

But when the scathing remarks are coming from what we have been taking to be the leadership of what should be an allied guild, then we have no recourse but to /ignore, refuse to cooperate, and actively seek other places to be.

But when I see an hour's worth of flaming of Hijinx telling us how we do nothing but farm, how we don't push the map, and how we're not any good -- that infuriates me and makes me actively comment on it.

You want know how I know we actually do a good job? Our OPPONENTS acknowledge us. Ask Bitaken -- the sitting blue emperor -- what he thinks of Hijinx. Ask TKO.

If you want to start on a fresh foot, show us. Stifle the garbage and smack talking in zone. I'll do the same from my own team. As for Mythdrine -- he's earned an apology. He went four days with limited sleep and breaks to protect our gains to grow our lead. He single handledly saved Chalman's back flag when it was the last Imperial keep. And he sure as hell doesn't deserve to be called a bad or garbage emperor.

Give us a night of peace and quiet. Apologize, publicly, to Mythdrine.

We'll reconsider our stance.

I will be again bringing this up to the rest of the guild leaders tonight (the moment I get online). I 100% agree that Mythdrine and yourself (and everyone else in your guild) deserve an apology from some of our members at WCFC. I personally greatly respect you guys and think you are a wonderfully talented guild (as do a great number of people in our guild). I think some of our guild members have had some clouded judgement and had their egos get to large recently.

Thank you. That would go a long way to improving the situation. I look forward to things calming down and being able to just do what we do -- have fun pvping.

So much /popcorn on this page, I'm getting a salt headache.

In seriousness, if you want to be respected on the server, earn it.
WCFC has done nothing but the opposite from my faction's perspective.

Although, putting a camp behind our gates only to get farmed (thanks for feeding my bats! ) gave me a warm fuzzy. thanks!

We've never put a camp up behind a gate. There are other EP players on that are not part of our group, you know.

dcincali

Guess I went to bed too early and missed all the action.. What is this WCFC stuff anyways?

Kaldahn

AP pug farming at Alessia Farm has got to be one of my favorite spots Though there are plenty of other resources that work well. Sometmes we have to knock on the walls or even postern to get peoples attention. It sometimes makes me sad when I am reduced to PVDoor when noone shows up.

I agree with Agrippa in that I see no need in breaking up a farm if they are just showin the pugs a good time and not goin after the keep. Although it is always a challenge trying to upset a Hijinx plan/farm...and I do like challenge.

That Altadoon scroll run last night was ridiculous btw, rarely saw an enemy because of lag but I knew they were there so jus spammed AOE and synergies, i saw the damage and kills but i miss actually seeing an enemy die at my feet

D Fresh

Lawl oil pot + WCFC= West Coast Fresh Toast!

-That is what we will call that group until they stop being AP piñatas.

Personally I love it when people log in their alts to taunt us in /zone. It wouldn't be a big deal except you become very aware that the other side is privy to your zone chat and therefore where you are headed.

That kind of thing needs to be punished but ZOS punishes nothing in pvp.

To be honest, there really isn't too much of a rift within the DC on Chillrend that I've noticed. Much better than it was on Dawnbreaker or Wabba.

indeed dc zone chat is just funny trolling/normalness.

Absolute zero respect for anyone in that guild. I can't get their members on /ignore fast enough. All they do is spam chat with garbage.

The black eye of EP. But, with each /ignore the chat gets quieter. Woot!

My day of emperorship was fun and loaded with epic battles.

The battle of BRK was my personal favorite as me and 11 of my guild members battled a horde of EP that was easily 40 strong. They charged back flag only to be repelled - re - entered the breach and lost the fight in the courtyard - then more DC showed up and we were able tpo push them out to the field and off to the farm.

Bleakers was a hilarious battle with AD having front flag - EP having back flag - and it was controlled by DC. We entered with 16 and killed off AD reclaiming front flag - cleared out EP on the back flag - and had two walls to repair by the end of it.

I play this game for fun and would never lose sleep over a video game. Besides, more of my guild brothers and sisters are looking for former emp titles so I went to bed at my normal time. The morinth mist form oil did some damage to us at the Ales farm and boy did I want to strangle her right then!! We had a load of fun though and repelling Hijinx at Warden was - just - in the nick of time as if they had 30 more seconds they would have been on flags and established and we would not have been able to break them out.

Great times - great fights - good night - and looking forward to chillrend 2. My only hope is that it does stay close this time. That the WCFC zerg does not need to PvDoor the map red every night till they have an unmeasurable lead, and that I don't feel the need to blue out the map in revenge of a red map. I rather enjoy and respect most of our opponents and feel like this is a pretty tightly knit server - even though we guest pop lock in the evenings - and that while we all want to win there is at least a measure of good sportsmanship we can all enjoy.

mjspnrb18_ESO

Aww damn I missed your big day @bitaken‌ , hope you enjoyed it

Halrloprillalar

@bitaken‌! You will embrace and come to love my ninjaoil in due time!
That was a more than eventful day on Chillbreaker for sure

Congrats Tenzi on emp, may AD get this kind of power presence here more often - a good bit of balance for next round would go a long way for some quality pvp. Less mono-colour and more even fights all around

bitaken

Dethroned the AD emp on an epic push on Roebeck this morning. 16 of us against the emp group and guards - I don't think he believed we had the guts to push the flags while engaged in the courtyard - but we did.

Then - a faux siege at Alessia to draw the EP zerg - a 55/55 wall prep at BRK and a kindly VR 8 to run the scroll for us as a gorgeous distraction - leading to another DC emperor CAPCODY!!

Long May he reign!!

Agrippa_Invisus

FYI, as of 12:38pm central time -- Blue and Yellow are both mathematically eliminated from reaching first place. Yellow can still get second with good map pushes.

Congratulations, EP, fwiw.

In celebration, I present you with my favorite Hodor -- http://i.imgur.com/3mUUUG8.jpg

aadriech

That was one of the funnest emp pushes we've done. Lots of great fights from all the factions, glad to see AD came out and played today! I was on the edge of my seat all night, wondering if we'd ever get those flags fliped!

Watching that random VR8 pug gank the scroll and run south (the wrong direction) with it not knowing what the hell to do while the entire zerg chased after is now probably one of my favorite pvp moments in eso.
