Chillrend NA - Where cool kids go.

GRxKnight

Agreed Bitaken...I just find it funny that people complained that there were too many campaigns to choose from and yet when they do this they now have one buff server for each alliance, a non-vet which is fun yet doesn't apply to the major pvp'ers, and Thorn-queue. I don't recall blue needing/having a buff server for the first rotation and then red loses BoS so tucks tail to chillrend to ruin fun for others...I know the reds that were already homed here had nothing to do with the *** that this zergling group pulled so I can't blame them...but I'm honestly thinking of just PvE'ing until 1.4 comes out.

bitaken

I saw this today and had to share. Immediately reminded me of what it must be like to be EP all confident and proud on this server - right about when the population balances out and then...well..

You all have my permission to Stand on EP's Doormat during prime-time. They confirmed that they would never give you your home keeps back (even though it doesn't affect there bonuses at all) and that they will gladly PvDoor you forever. I'm tired of trying to tell people to step off your home-plates.

Never really needed permission - this is exactly what we have been doing to them. Just had a nice farm at Kings (my least favorite keep to defend) and made a little shy of 80K in 40 minutes or so. Took them 20 minutes to get siege on the keep from the LM and just had a blast working them from resource to resource.

It's sad that they want to do this to one of the last competitive campaigns - but I am equally happy to farm their zerglings all over the map. Earlier made about 25K at Bleakers. This emp is not so hard to deal with. Even with Mighter's little sneaky oil pots she dies fairly easily once she has been identified.

FWIW: The campaigns need major overhaul. The PvP in this game for casuals is dying too quickly.

I'm a dirty casual

Taking a very short break from doing dirty things to krotha et al, back momentarily

AD and EP were both at two bars throughout the evening. I checked frequently. Assuming AD (honestly don't know), you guys keep using the same strategy all the way to the resource tower (impressively cohesive zergblob against a more robust zerg). Come on brah, step it up. Almost kicked Crystallized off of the throne. A red map ain't much fun, but that's just how it's played, whether we like it or not. I generally agree with the sentiment that once scrolls are capped, those keeps most proximal to an alliance's gates should be permitted back to them.

Red was poplocked from 730pm - 11pm central US time. Yellow was at 2 bars for the entire duration except for a short stint at 3 bars around 9-930pm. Blue was 2 bar for all of prime.

The moment we flipped back all of the AD home keeps and Farragut the entire faction showed up at Arrius when we tried to pull that scroll. (unfortunately the scroll we pulled from Farragut got lost in the fracas of trying to be greedy and taking arrius too).

What I find most amusing about it all, is despite at least 5 different attempts of varying size and coordination, they could not take farragut back from us for about 2 hours (in fact the scroll they had placed at farragut had nowhere else they could cap it at the time, so when it inevitably reset, it came right back into AD hands)

Then the red horde showed up, at least 80 reds inside Farragut sieging every wall, every postern, even the front door, the flags flipping back and forth for about 10 minutes as they desperately tried to overwhelm us with sheer volume.

Eventually we lost via attrition, but it proved a point.

EP is really, really bad. They had easily double if not triple our numbers at Farragut, id even venture to say they might have had close to four times the number, I couldnt get a hard count in the chaos. We still held them off for over an hour.

You guys get absolutely crushed in primetime, so stop preening about your skills. Your entire score, your entire semblance of "success" has a big asterisk by it.

That asterisk is as follows...

EP is winning Chillrend*

* Via capping at times no one is on and riding on the score given by playing defense the entire rest of the day with double population during prime vs either of the other two factions. If anyone logged in near the end of primetime on pretty much any given day, they would wonder how the heck your score is even as high as it is, tbqh.

At one point red had three keeps left (Chalman, Arrius, Kings). That means they lost fifteen keeps in primetime. Good? I dont think so. This is doubly punctuated by your lightning take of an undefended Alessia near the end of prime, and getting absolutely humilated at roebeck when you tried to take an actually defended keep. Even the hilarious moment the group of eight I was in ended up at bleakers for lack of anything else to do, and were killing your guys coming out on the way to Aleswell, you had to call on bigger numbers PLUS YOUR EMPEROR to finally dislodge us.

Just lol. Stop talking trash XD

More like we defended Emp and held all the scrolls during primetime LOL. You took all them keeps and WERE STILL LOSING IN POINTS since we had Emp and all the scrolls but one (until we took it back). No one in Zone chat was worried at all, as we were willing to just hold Emp. GG and get over yourself. Thanks for the 18k offensive tic at Farra by the way HAHA!

Your so mad you guys are getting dominated. Switch to Thorn where AD NIGHT CAPS, and get your free win if your this mad. Type another essay where you think you did something please.

I do think that your scroll buffs are the only thing from keeping you on the map during primetime. If it weren't for that and emp buff you guys would be off the map around 11 est. Also the fact that your emp is a carbon copy of TKO's morinth makes him/her very easy to fight against.

Also we will never play PvQueue the way red plays PvDoor. We are here to stay and will continue to farm you while flipping the map yellow/blue.

k1llorbek1lled

who are you and why are you so delusional?

I'm the guy winning on a campaign reading a thread of AD and DC pugs who don't know they're pugs. Then I reply and read the QQ. Did we lose Emp? Did we lose any scroll but Mnem (which we got back)? No, we didn't. Nice try though, another 400k AP day.

FluffiestOne

It's official, I'm switching to EP, maybe then they can win.

k1llorbek1lled

You farm nothing, get rolled and give us tics. Don't bring up an AD player to compare that does absolutely nothing, kills no one, and tries over and over. Our Emp whipes you nerds.

This guy...is a nobody running in a sea of tyrion's trying hard to sound tough.

There are thousands just like him on the Internet, my guess is that he is either sub 20, or over 40 and dwells subterranean in someone else's home.

Your emp is a piece of cake to kill. Spread out - drop a few COP's and she is dead fairly quickly. In tight spaces - like flags - that's nearly impossible - to "spread out" so honestly any sorc emperor shines in those moments. I recall taking down 18 AD while completely solo - and I do not run vamp - and am mostly heals - while I was emp - so I did it with single target DPS - at Roebeck in a solo defense of one of my imperial keeps.

EP on this server - have two bars of population ALL day. They race to wherever gets flamed and outzerg - not outplay - the enemy. We had a great time farming kings yesterday, then bleakers, then dragon, all the while we pulled EP off our home keeps so our non guild groups could recapture our home keeps.

In any case - if you got 400K yesterday you have to be running with the emp - and I doubt you made 400K you are just looking for a number to spew that is larger than anyone else because that will make you feel good.

No one has one iota of respect for the EP that are left on this server. Especially the high rankers that are running with the zerg. I found it hilarious that 40+ EP could not dig 16 EHJ out of Bleakers, so they ask the emp to come help and even then she has to die three times before we vacate the premises.

I don't play with them....

I'm done with this thread, there's no point for me to reply anymore before I get booted from my guild for talking smack. Ep stomped AD and DC on Chill the whole campaign. You pathetic turds get whooped on and feel the need to vent about it on the forums when you accomplished nothing. That's all there is to it. I look forward to your next failures in the last days of the campaign, giving me them O&D tics noobs.

GG and go pug hard. huehuehuehue

You realize that red only does anything when there is no one on or are hiding behind a keep. Put them out in an open field or where there's defense and they fall so hard. Yesterday for example fare was lit and the outer was at 20% before any yellow showed up. They were on the inner and decible (i think it was decible anyway idk) showed up and shoved them or with ease.

At one of TKO's favored farm spots we wipe red pugs and groups with ease. The only time we leave is when we have to go defend somewhere, have another objective in mind, or the ap generation is so bad that we'd get more for repairing a wall than killing reds.

You can keep talking high all you want about being in first place i honestly don't care. It's just sad though that you see a lot of reds disappointed in their own faction that they'd rather play elsewhere than help their home campaign. They know their "victory" has a huge asterisk next to it. So you're delusional and glad we don't have to listen to your stupidity anymore

It's probably a PvE guild that can't run trials without buffs... Or one that wants to pretend they're good and just ride the coattails of the good pvp guilds in EP.

Boy, this thread has degenerated something fierce.

Mjollo

It's just sad at this point. I'm tired of hearing pugs brag about how they took keeps and kicked AD or DCs butts in zone. They don't do squat to help this campaign and they die more than they kill. The only groups that matter in this campaign are the most renown guilds of each faction. Now I know where the stereotypes comes from of EP. They aren't even zergs anymore. They're just a herd of sheep.

Best part of last night was the epic three way battle at Arrius Mine. That was a great fight - killed tons of EP with Alacrity dying to us once - then dropping another bomb on EP then the EP zerg coming back - us grabbing the tower defense - just an awesome three way battle.

Thanks for that!!

You Alacrity guys did come out on top at the end of it - or at least with the mine - as some EP zergling took out our tent to the south of the mine and we were not able to rejoin the fray. Still a hugely fun three way fight!! We respawned into BRK and cleaned out the empress and her crew there so was worth the death and having to restart at a keep

I wouldn't be a sore loser nor would we see them if the EP responsible for this mess would apologize or the EP on here would recognize the real reasons why they continue to get slammed by yellow and blue. I know you and a few others have but the few that don't, honestly believe they earned this victory, when we all know the truth.

It's pretty clear why it happens.

It's the same reason that AD gets the same treatment on Thornblade regularly.

The ridiculous faction stacking in off hours on campaigns is unfun to deal with if you are a member of the non-stacked faction. It just is. Who wants to see everything they did reversed and then grind out their keeps again every. single. day.

It's what turned Bloodthorn from the 3rd most populous server to a wasteland in the original campaigns. Blue just couldn't resist flipping the entire map early morning (thank you Zergmother Natalie).

And it's also equally clear the player base isn't policing itself. Too many people benefit from being able to wake up to a monotone map and grind AP from the gates on down as the other two factions try to get their home keeps back. No one wants to give that up -- though if the day comes there's no one there to start taking it back, they have only themselves to blame when the AP well dries up for good.

So ultimately it's up to ZOS -- either a sliding scale queue system or major incentives to reroll the lower population factions.

Or heck, give us a realm/alliance transfer option like WoW has.

It costs iRL money to do it (as part of the cash shop), but you can swap between the two factions and even swap races for a nominal fee.

When servers are underpopulated (or overloaded) they have also enabled free transfers from one to another in the past.
