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.
Again you miss the point.
I dont care about the objectives, never have, never will. Thats PvE garbage.
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.
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 me 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.
It's a pity (for you) that we're playing ESO.

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

Oh wow, and this guy thinks he has a leg to stand on talking down to me like he has been?
"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."
[snip]
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.
Tut tut.

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!
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.

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
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.
Let Ghostbuster be. He's just leading you on until you get more angry. Real players actually understand what's going on with this campaign. Let him yell at a brick wall.
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.

Sorry, but who's yelling?

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