    Yes, keep it up, everyone. Keep the excuses coming.

    While you've been busy listing all the reasons you woulda/coulda/shoulda won, you're losing keeps and losing scrolls. Losing must be habit-forming.

    Lo and behold, AD has been pushed all the way back to their gates.

    Clearly, some folks are more content crying on the forums, rather than playing.

    Maybe your alliances are doing poorly because you spend all your time cooking up justifications for why you lost.

    Tell me more about the metrics that are supposed to matter, while I recheck the math, again -- yup, 75,265 is still greater than 30,389 + 30,234

    LOL -- right, so you can check your "codex" for it. Just looked up what that is -- you see, I don't have a kill-log. My self-esteem isn't bolstered by ogling a list of anonymous people I pretended to slaughter in a video game.

    Sorry, but I'm not in the habit of giving self-declared exploiters any sort of validation -- nobody should reinforce anyone's delusions of accomplishment.

    What I find most interesting about comments that talk a lot about what "should" be important when scoring PvP in this game is that the input comes *exclusively* from the losing alliances.

    EP is adult enough to play the game as-is, instead of whining about how the game "should" be scored.

    I once beat a guy at chess who immediately told me how I would have lost if we were playing basketball. My retort was "We weren't playing basketball."

    Next, I suppose AD and DC will talk about how they'd win the campaign if only the scoring was based upon which alliance coordinates armor dyes the best.

    Here's a secret EP has figured out: scoring in objective-based PvP is based upon which alliance holds the most keeps, resources, outposts, and scrolls and *how long they hold them* -- you know, objectives.

    It's everyone's right to play their game how they enjoy it, most. So by all means, farm that AP. However, it's true hubris when a solitary player believes the entire game should be scored based on all the ways *that person* enjoys playing. If only the game was scored based on who can hold the tower at the BRK lumber mill the longest...

    If you don't like objective-based PvP and would rather farm AP without taking so much as a single keep, fine -- gank to your heart's content, if that floats your boat. However, don't be so presumptuous to say the rest of us should be bound by your subjectively determined standards of success in the game.

    Why not recognize the practical realities of how the campaigns are scored? That's the first step towards NOT losing, again. Try it out, see how it fits.

    Again you miss the point.

    I dont care about the objectives, never have, never will. Thats PvE garbage. Not to mention the "rewards" for actually winning the campaign are an utter joke, even on the 90 days. I get more gold out of PvPing one night and selling off the 30-40 rewards for the worthy items I get than I ever would on a campaign "bonus."

    I know exactly how it works, how much each "objective" is worth, and know how to calculate projections based on scores/trends.

    What you dont get is all I care about is killing you, I could give two craps less about how long youve held BRK mine or whatever.

    The fact you keep stuffing your "victory by points" in my face is laughable given that your "victory by points" was achieved on a board that had almost NO PLAYERS on it during the nighttime/overnight.

    gg. well done, but its not much of an achievement.

    However, a real achievement is that AD has consistently every single day taken by force every keep youve claimed, including their scrolls more times than not, WHEN ALL OF YOU ARE ON AND TRYING TO STOP US. Hell your "emperor" has been deposed over five times already, I think yesterdays was the sixth. That is really, really sad considering this all started about 2 weeks ago. Losing emp on the same guy six times in 2 weeks? Yeah thats a hallmark of bad there. One of Crystalized reigns was five hours long.

    Every day we go from all red map to all yellow/blue map except for Arrius, maybe Chalman, maybe one of your gate keeps. I have never once seen red hold more than three keeps total in primetime once they have lost them. They never regain in prime, I have never once seen red regain a keep until after midnight that they lost before midnight.

    Now do you get where I am coming from? You prance about with your smug BS about "winning on points" when our alliance literally took you to the woodshed in every other conceivable fashion.

    Had you not had the overnight cappers, you would not have the score you do. Unfortunately Chillrend DC and Chillrend AD are not overnight/oceanic players.

    So take your PvE victory, I dont really care, every single hour I was on during this campaign my faction was killing the ever living hell out of yours and making you lose ground constantly until the majority of my faction and the guilds I represent went to bed for the night.

    LOL -- I didn't miss your point. I don't agree with it, but I didn't miss it.

    If you don't care about objectives, then you're playing the wrong game. The fact that you believe an MMORPG based on The Elder Scrolls should be played like Call of Duty is absolutely priceless.

    BTW -- it's 6:45am EST. You could be defending, right now. Of course, that would be playing the game as it was *intended* and we can't have that.

    Don't worry. I'm sure I'd lose if we were playing COD. B)

    It's a pity (for you) that we're playing ESO.

    Here I will keep it short and sweet. No more walls of text. Listen up, buttercup

    EP did not beat AD at PvP on this campaign. If you believe that, you are the most delusional poster I have ever seen on any game forum, and that says a lot.

    So, you can take your smug mocking tone and come actually fight some of us and see how you do. Until then, go shoot a ballista at a wall, because that is all you know how to do.

    Oh and... I am pretty sure I know just as well as any EP PvDoor expert on how to take a keep, considering we have had to take back all of them every evening.

    Unfortunately, I dont live in the game as is plainly obvious because I am doing other things (besides just posting here in between said other things) than devoting my life to PvDooring in a video game.

    That is all.

    Do you guys remember in Saving Private Ryan when the sniper lodged a complaint with the Captain?

    Take note everyone - here is a lesson in whining:
    What I find ironic, now that the DiE crew has mostly quit AB -- Blue has become the new Yellow, in every important sense.

    It's unclear to me why, precisely, it fell apart. After a week of deliberately not fighting with DC, watching DC swap emperorship from one person to another... Well, I cannot speak for my guild-mates, but the whole thing left me feeling disgusted. After all, our guild has been trying very hard to crown our top-scoring player, Kimiey -- swapping emperorship cheapens what's *literally* supposed to be crowning achievement in this game. So having DC engaging in the same sort of emperorship trading that populated DiE with "Former Emperor" titles, but this time, actually collaborating with them, being a complicit accessory in such a scheme -- that was not fun, at all. I felt especially cheap when DC offered to "hand" Kimiey emperor to sweeten the deal. It shouldn't have come as a shock to us when DC did not hold up their end of the "alliance."

    So now the map is blue, at least half a dozen DC players were crowned during the DC/EP Auriel's Bow alliance, and DiE has rage-quit the campaign, possibly the entire game. Auriel's Bow is even less fun than it was when AD were the gate camping exploiters -- at least they never had to ask EP to "stay out of the way" when pushing for emperor.

    I'd like to say that it is my personal opinion (not the opinion of my guild) that the DiE crew demonstrated a phenomenally childish and predictable characteristic of bullies, everywhere -- you could dish out, but you couldn't take it when the roles were reversed. As for DC, it's amazing how they got up on their soapbox over AD's obnoxious gate camping, emperorship swapping, and their use of game exploits, only to step in and do *precisely* the same thing, given the opportunity.

    As for our guild, the last organized EP guild on AB -- we started guesting on Dawn, popping back over to AB from time to time, trying to crown Kimiey. We lost interest in fighting on AB, exclusively, after the "alliance" culminated in more of the same garbage. Swapping out Blue for Yellow, swapping out Moon Die for Lefhova (an exact clone of Moon Die's build who also rolls with a crew of emperorship swappers -- again, staggering irony) has sucked the majority of fun out of Auriel's Bow for everyone.

    So despite all the indignation shown by DC on this thread and elsewhere in the forums over AD's behavior on Auriel's Bow, DC has become the new AD -- emperorship farmers who gate camp the other two alliances for the buffs, who have no interest in actually fighting on AB -- they fight in other campaigns, going back to AB only when their buffs are put at risk.

    So I'd like to congratulate DC for following the brave path to failure pioneered by the DiE crew. Check the campaign populations. DC now has more players online during peak hours across the different campaigns than AD. The fair-weather zerglings have found another exploitation umbrella. Every trash player who wants to be on the winning team have rerolled DC characters, while every "honest" player who doesn't share the "emperorship swapping" model of play will stay put until they eventually quit the game -- real life is already unfair, so paying a monthly fee to play a game that is systematically imbalanced by exploitable mechanics isn't the least bit enjoyable.

    What saddens me the most, however, is that I really enjoy this game. Were it played as intended, it would probably persist indefinitely. Unfortunately, there are too many players with other ideas (like "cheating and winning is more fun than playing fair and losing") and the developers are too concerned with the "Future Direction" of ESO to bother fixing what's broken, now.



    Balance the game, end the exploits, or prepare to become the next major MMO to squander the potential of a beloved intellectual property before fading into free-to-play obscurity, like Star Wars.

    Btw bro, if you so mad at DiE, they are on Thornblade, not Chillrend. Youre on the wrong campaign fighting the wrong AD in your quest for "vengeance". XD

    Oh right, I forgot, yall reds left Thorn to come here because AD stomped your faces in on Thorn and No Mercy stole your buff server on Bow of Shadows.

    We've crashed into a lot of red this campaign, but I don't think we've ever seen Bitaken brute force one as hard as this. Funny stuff.

    LOL -- I've accumulated so many pathetic new friends.

    [snip] You keep on denying the fact that EP only won this campaign by PvDooring when all of AD and DC have gone to bed. Every time I log off the map for Chillrend looks rather blue/yellow, and then when I wake up it's completely red. Riddle me that batman.

    The Epic Defense of BRK and a 28K Defense Tick - nevermind the 90K we made in the process of the defense. We even split 6 guys off to defend Chalman in the middle of it!

    EP has been pushed back on. Whatever will they do?

    I could tell the hate was coming - random people from EP Faction sending me hate tells is just such a wonderful thing!

    Heh, I was killing so many EP with meatbags at BRK my finger was getting tired. GnG had 16+ there for a few hours. EP kept showing up on their short bus.

    I think you miss the point.

    AD won the campaign by every metric that matters.

    You look at some roleplay board of numbers, I look at kills/AP generation.

    We absolutely destroyed you and will continue to. But please do keep preening as I am slaughtering the sea of red by the literal hundreds.

    PvP. And in PvP EP on this campaign is absolutely horrific. They literally cant do anything but fight empty keeps with no/few actual living players in them or they faceplant.

    I think you need to learn the difference between a real victory and a roleplay victory.

    Still waiting to hear who you are in game, I am absolutely sure by this point youre a jocksniffing scrub that doesnt even do anything but follow the zerg. Probably terrified that I will literally go through all three of my toons codex and add up a hundred kills on you with not a single death to you.

    I will say that AD has far better skilled and better organized players than EP on Chill. During prime time the meta game has a life all its own.

    EP gets pushed back because during primetime we are getting hit by both factions at scrolls and emp keeps, soooo of coarse were going to abandon the rest of the map, not making excuses they're YOUR scrolls so obviously....

    but AD/DC cry about the same crap Thornblade EP/DC players cry about... Night capping...

    If only there was 1 campaign where the good guilds could meet.... *** even a campaign with only like pvp rank 25's and up... a boy can dream /facepalm

    EP did not beat AD at PvP on this campaign.

    Sweet morning - if 3 bars of EP pop had not shown up to attack arrius I would have been able to dethrone EP Emp.

    But - on the other hand....Made 110K total AP in the defense of Arrius - Took Farra off their hands after a nearly 2 hour defense of Arrius - while the rest of DC did the right thing and took all our home keeps back - and then captured Ghartok!!!

    And I am sure there was much screaming in EP zone chat to defend the Chalamo....but you lost something in the process.

    I know at 4 AM it will all go back to being red. It's the satisfaction I get of killing so many of you over and over. It all started with an 18K defense tick at Warden to defend our last keep - with 10 EHJ and 2 brave guys from zone chat who listened to me bark orders and push back ~ 30 EP from warden.

    But man - that defense at Arrius is going down in the history books for me. It just took over the Alaroe defense on Wabbajack 1.0 when DC was down to ONE keep and ALL of AD was on it and with 16 guys we held it.

    Things were kinda slow on my home of Thornblade this morning so I guested over to Chillrend for a while. I couldn't believe the mass idiocy, dysfunction and disorganization of my home faction (EP). I was embarrassed to be team red this morning.

    That being said, DC put up a pretty pathetic defense of Arrius to let AD just waltz right in there and take the scroll inside without so much as a speed bump along the way. Way to keep your eyes on the prize, DC. And that siege only went on as long as it did because AD decided to eat into EP at the mine and eastern wall. DC owes AD some thanks because without their interference, that siege at Arrius would have been considerably shorter.

    Sorry, but who's yelling? As it stands, the only person I've seen using their caps lock inappropriately would be Rylana...

    However, a real achievement is that AD has consistently every single day taken by force every keep youve claimed, including their scrolls more times than not, WHEN ALL OF YOU ARE ON AND TRYING TO STOP US. Hell your "emperor" has been deposed over five times already, I think yesterdays was the sixth. That is really, really sad considering this all started about 2 weeks ago. Losing emp on the same guy six times in 2 weeks? Yeah thats a hallmark of bad there. One of Crystalized reigns was five hours long.

    Must be that time of the month. You know, *update* time. B)

    Although I'm still not sure what I would/could be yelling about. EP won the campaign. Handily. Here were the scores before I took a nap:

    EP -- 75,265
    AD -- 30,389
    DC -- 30,234

    I just dropped in to say hi, give everyone a kiss <3 , and remind folks the game is scored by who holds targets/objectives the longest, and not whatever the losers, ehem, I mean the not-so-successful alliances think should be the criteria for winning.

    I actually skipped the majority of their "walls of text" justifying their losses. Anything in which the main idea can be expressed as "ya, but" isn't very interesting. Plus, I really don't care enough about forum trolls to indulge their wounded pride by reading more than a few sentences of their diatribes.

    You should probably read back a page or two and note the spot where you lost all credibility when Bit reminded us that you were literally me just a couple months ago regarding the DiE guild on Auriels Bow.

    Now in order to save face you either agree that I am right, or admit that you were wrong, thus clear DiE of all charges and embracing that they are better than you.

    What shall it be?
