Tintinabula

Rylana

The green alliance is so strong that we just deposed the blue emp because reasons.

Youre welcome Tsym, you couldnt do it so yellow did it for you.

Also, feel free to come fight tko anytime, I could use more AP.

to all of you who've decided to pop your homes over from thornblade to party on our previously quiet little server - welcome, it's been a really great few days, and i've got a lot of hope for where chillrend's going now that there's a DC presence.

Glantris! I hope to see you on the battle field!

The only thing I don't understand is why the night capping EP from Chill - and the night capping AD from Thorn don't join the same server.

Wouldn't they want people to kill so they could earn AP?

I don't get it.

Some Aussie AD did move over and today the night capping EP were back hiding on Thorn again. We just need 1 campaign so you can't run and hide.

Yeah ran on thorn this morning and it was all the old EP from Chill I was fighting. Same crew - different server. Maybe they at least get a fight numbers wise against AD there.

Problem becomes the night capping AD from Thorn moving to chill - since the EP night cappers have moved to thorn. BTW - all 6 scrolls and Emp on Thorn are EP now.

@ZOS_BrianWheeler This is the core of the problem. We can't have fun and balanced campaigns with the ease of movement from one campaign to the others for the PvDoor crowd.

As soon as they get a fight they switch campaigns. Fighting is what it's all about. Balance is achieved through constant battles and attrition. The campaign score and scrolls/emp buffs are solely decided on who night caps and on which server.

There has to be a solution to this and right quick or the people who play the game for PvP will be leaving. I know it's a lot of fun to be floating from one campaign to the next - but the population is dying because of it. I'm not crying that the sky is falling - it's been falling - but this is one of the major problems facing the long term health of this title.

Lol. Oh. My. God.

Where the hell were the pop locked AD oceanic to defend?

Why can't those two huge oceanic zergs just fight each other on their own campaign?

Just take down haderus, bow of shadows, and chillrend, and allocate all your resources to keep a campaign from lagging when pop locked, and give us Thornblade and the nonvet campaign. We don't need all these campaigns. DC can barely fill one campaign on most days. Remove all the dead campaigns so people stop using them for buffs and force people to fight. This is pvp...

Go do trials if you can't deal with fighting players..

They did not run this morning, just to clarify baseless claims.

They went to Thorn in primetime yesterday and started turning the map red (it was all yellow), so this was not the Aussies from EP like you're saying. I don't know why they did it but it was likely because they were tired of being camped at their scroll gates by DC on Chill, that or they were tired of everyone from Thorn coming over to Chill and causing lag because Thorn is just one giant AD zerg at all hours.

I have no idea why they went, but it was not the Aussies that went over there and started fighting. It was probably just some EP who wanted big zergs to fight against to get AP or something.

:O bitaken why you misinform me

Good fights yesterday pixy it was fun, even when I got dethroned because AD and EP stacked hundreds of bodies on the flags at aleswell and we were unable to pour oil lol. My lcs meter hit 600k damage in that back flag room without pouring oil

The fights have been good! Yesterday the pop imbalance was crappy though. DC locked out when I got home from work, and AD/EP only had 1-2bars. Guess they were fighting on Thornblade.

Why can't we all just fight on the same campaignnnnn

Agrippa_Invisus

Thornblade NA crowned Tripe emperor at 10pm Central US 9/4/14. That's primetime.

AD was pop locked when it happened. We pulled every scroll but Mnem from AD on Thornblade during prime time while they were poplocked. We even let DC recapture Ash (the crowning keep) to let them 'stay in the game' so to speak. No defense (aside from pugs) was offered.

I will be gentle off hours, but during prime time, I step on throats.

Yep, definitely was.

I don't really get what EP is doing right now, or why they would go back to Thornblade, but I'm sure they had a reason at the time. I just wish everyone [except EG] would stay on the same server, or we could somehow come to an agreement before 1.4 drops as to where all the Aussies would go and where the rest of us would go.

In all the EG raids I have participated I have never heard Brandon once instruct everyone to spam AOE to crash the server.
If it's heals being spammed, then ZOS should change how ultimates are charged. No one is doing it intentionally to crash people out.

I actually like Brandon, he's a good guy, and no one can really say for sure if EG is doing it intentionally. But no one can deny that they are causing the server to lag and sometimes crash by standing in a ball outside of a keep and spamming healing springs for a minute straight before they rush in and throw themselves on the flag.

Everyone thinks you guys are doing it intentionally because you continue doing it even after seeing how it effects the server. If you guys are somehow still ignorant of the fact that you're the ones causing the lag when you do this, then please stop it.

Ah agrippa, you seemed like someone who didn't exaggerate. I'm on chillrend, but I got the notification of all these flips and was on at 10pm central... yellow was at 2 bars on Thorn... not that I care that you jerk yourself off or whatever, but peoples' BSing makes me itch. I even remember looking and being surprised that I didn't have my Thornblade extra AP and other buffs! And lo and behold at that time (when I looked) Thornblade was almost all EP!

We were checking most of the night. It's something Thornblade keeps tabs on pretty constantly as the populations determine the flow of the map. If AD dipped to 2 bars at any point, it was quick, and we didn't catch it. They did unlock briefly after Moon Die was deposed. That may have been when it happened.

They relocked after that, right when Mnem was opened.

Later in the night, with them holding the scroll temple of Mnem vigorously we were at 2 bars, with AD at 3 and DC at 1.

That's my recollection. I am not attempting to misrepresent and apologize if there's an error.

Nala_

i was on thorn while it was happening, AD did lock at one point and when it unlocked it bounced from 2-3 bars but did eventually lock again. DC kind of hovered from 1-2 bars.

im not sure why EP would do this though, did you do it just to get your friend emp, or were you just tired of being stomped on by actual groups on chill?

We've been on Thornblade since before the reset occurred. We left Chillrend when it was getting flooded with EP and came to help shore up the flagging EP numbers Thorn was experiencing. Since coming to Thornblade we've repeatedly fought Venatus and DiE.

Last night was more about making banana pudding than pushing for Emperor. Vokundein pushed emperor while we were defending Faregyl from an AD counter attack. Tripe's in Hijinx and was with us there, not at Ash when he was crowned.

No. We (Hijinx) have a few Aussies in guild (just a handful), but the primary force we field is prime time US.

Vokundein is also a US guild that primarily operates in prime time.

Why would you guys move back to Thorn then after everyone just came to Chill to help fight off the EP there....? I noticed a lot of people on EP left the leaderboards, I'm assuming they went back and homed on Thorn now?

We moved to Thorn while Chillrend was all red. While Alacrity, No Mercy, Venatus, DiE, and EG were all active players on Thornblade.

Vokundein was always on Thorn. They were the organized team holding the fort and keeping things together while the EP population dipped on Thornblade and the rest moved to Chillrend. Credit to them for sticking it out. They earned my respect through staying and explicitly not leaving for Chillrend.

Hijinx left Chillrend, being a Chillrend native from the first two week cycle of hte campaign precisely because it was being painted red every night during the overnight period.

During the worst of the EP zerging on Chillrend, the Thornblade team would be stuck at 2 bars much of the night, locking only after DC/AD locked and then unlocking first.

Thornblade, at the time, needed our help. Chillrend did not. At the same time there was a fair amount of drama between another EP guild and our own and it was less than fun to deal with our own Alliance mates on Chillrend.

We left mid-cycle of Chillrend's second campaign and started fighting on Thornblade. We homed to Thornblade once Thornblade's 30 day cycle reset.

let me translate this for you: "we run everytime there's even the slightest bit of competition. now that the best guilds in the game moved to chill we have moved with IR back to thorn to farm the crappy guild DiE and every pug in the universe that still plays on thornblade"

That'd be true if your timeline was right.

We moved to Thorn before the AD/DC guilds switched to Chillrend. That they switched is their decision and their business. We came to help the EP on Thornblade.

That the EP from Chillrend cut and ran is on them. They showed they have that propensity already and that they're here after one good night's showing from us isn't surprising.

I'd like to point out the map was painted yellow yesterday morning before we got started. And the day before.

And we kept at it.

Mjollo

I actually kind of like the status for EP on Chillrend now. It's kind of like hard mode. Sure it's tougher to push against DC or AD during the night but if we believe in ourselves enough, we "sort of" end up pushing back (not counting the incoming groups that force us out again). It's all pugs now on EP side but that's okay. I get to relax and listen to music while i fight instead of everybody raging in TS.
