There is plenty of AD at night, but during the day EP seems to have the big numbers. They also finally seem to have brought in a very organized group, which they didn't seem to have on the last campaign. On top of that, a lot of AD's better groups seem to have gone to Chillrend. AD isn't going to win by merely having a higher population now. Even with EP and AD capped, it took us forever to take BRK. What we need is organization and to all be on the same page, even when in the same place, or our numbers mean nothing.

It took us almost as long to take it back. I think both of us had all our factions stacked in that one keep.

Not all the AD are cool with camping the other factions at their gates. It is BORING. There are only a few campaigns to visit, I'm sure you will find us if you look hard enough.

Isn't that the usual response on Haderus?

Venatus(AD) and Alacrity(AD) switched back to Chillrend few weeks ago and it made a huge difference I think. Also, The Veiled(EP) and IR(EP) came back from Chillrend so now Thornblade is slowly turning into easy-mode.

Not how I'd describe it. Some of the toughest fights we've had to date have been on Thornblade.

TAW, DiE, EHJ, and others all keep the competition fierce.

Coincidence? Red wants easy mode.

Add No Mercy and EG to that list of guilds that moved to Chillrend.

The hate tells I got today on Thorn were sort of funny. Home here or DONT PLAY HERE...that was my favorite.

EP is looking to make thorn a buff server - and stomps the yard every morning around 4 AM EST. It's fun to play on since there are so many targets and they always seem to move only as one huge massive zerg.

Hijinx is a very strong group and takes great co-ordination to take apart - and they have a sister/brother guild that assists them and if they are together is very difficult to take them both down.

DiE is also a very strong group in keep defense - if they are inside we won't even bother sieging the keep

So there is competition - but the mass of both AD and EP are fairly easy targets - they just move in 2-4X the numbers of DC since we struggle to get 2 bars and they are seemingly always pop locked for both AD and EP.

Guilds like Alacrity and No Mercy aren't loyal to either campaign. We intend to win both.

Meh...AD isn't very impressive even when they ARE on...I mean, I took out two of them by accident in a dungeon. Elves are squishy.

One ring to rule them all.....

Well because the damn game keeps bugging my timers I've been stuck in Thornblade and let me tell you it's a damn organized zerg early in the morning and it's been like that for a week.

I went the entire day without single AP tick because AD lost every single fight. There's nothing but the dregs and a few holdouts left on AD in that campaign. Every fight I'd get in was just zerg zerg zerg. Dodge a zerg ball on one side, run into one in the opposite direction, dodge that and I end up caught in the nightblade pickets.

I'm not complaining but there has got to be better sport than chasing down a single sorc. The lag was so bad I experienced my first locational bolt escape bug. Any time I neared the corner of BRK my blink stopped working like it was permabugged(took my magicka but no blink) until I ran away from the keep. Happened twice before I said screw it and went elsewhere.

My worst day of PVP in memory, only 110K AP, I wouldn't have had that if EP hadn't pushed through the gates to feed me after they'd taken the scroll.

This is what some people have dealt with for ages, fwiw, just other alliances.

Venatus looks for good fights. We've never said otherwise. Winning is a bonus for us, but we move to follow the fights. Thornblade started going quiet, so when the campaign ended we shifted over to Chillrend.

If the fighting dies on Chillrend we'll do the same again; we'll follow the fights - and the guilds - where they go.

It's unfortunate that the DC and EP big guilds seem to go in different directions. We would much prefer if they stayed on the same server so we could fight both.

Try being oceanic DC on last run of Thornblade

Cody

wow.... it simply switched alliances...

so all those "elite" AD guilds simply went to chillrend, and all those "elite" EP guilds went to thornblade...... I love how these guilds seem so... how do I put it...... coherent? (bah. idk the word for this situation) in switching campaigns like this. so now EP are the ones stayin up till 5AM nightcappin everything?
idk what to think about this

a battle between the night cappers... which ones will win?

in all seriousness, it will be interesting to see how things play out the next few weeks, due to this sudden shift in power(as ill call it)

Darthryan

Ya I played last night and the reds took over everything. AD ended up just leaving. I couldn't even form a full group of 20. Think I had 12. I like the competition but 12 vs 3 full raids trying to defend.sucked. I don't know what happened to venatus. I was in the guild. Then poof. Not anymore. They just left I guess.

I would like to join a pvp guild on thornblade. I play nights and early mornings. 11pm-9am pacific time. I'm a nightshift worker.

I commend you for your balls. Don't ever reroll. Fight the good fight.

Want to start the oceanic branch of No Mercy?

Feel free to add me ingame @renuo. I do have a group I run daily atm.

Yes it seems the population shifts have hurt all alliances in terms of one competitive campaign 24/7. I'd love to see the best of the best ALL on Thornblade but that seems a lost cause. EP is impressive on Thonrblade now, I won't name drop but a few sorcs come to mind as I recall my death recaps but I also seen some amazing DC players in the last Thorn campaign who I was in awe of. Not really sure why some AD left for "greener grass" on Chillrend because the way I see it with my play schedule the fight is ALWAYS on Thornblade short of missing those tough DC guilds that seem to have gone to Chillrend. Last I checked AD was not fairing well on Chillrend in terms of score and the map was constantly blue during the daytime. Keep in mind my observations have nothing to do with player or guild skill level as I know there are amazingly talented players and guilds in all the campaigns - it is purely about player populations and where many of the organized PvP guilds reside currently as I play from morning to late night.

All come back to Thornblade and lets have non-stop action and competition 24/7 course then we would have to deal with a megaserver queue that doesn't seem so "mega" when you are #210 on the list to enter. Wishful thinking . . I miss the smurfs

Even though it was boring as hell to cover the map in red, this was intended for what AD did to EP the first week of the campaign. We got camped on our gates for one whole week. How does it feel now?

It's not all the AD guilds who switched to Chillrend, only 2 out of 6. DiE, TAW, The Trap House and The Noore have been around and never left. To be honest, the main reason why EP is doing so well at the moment is because we don't have to deal with both factions hitting us at the same time. The only exception being when we hold all their scrolls, but even there, we don't see the same challenge as we used to get when Alacrity was playing here. Most of the time it's not a big threat and we have time to respond in time. Also if No Mercy would play on Thornblade constantly it would be much more competitive. But hey, wasn't my choice that they decided to move to Chillrend.

Of course there is alot of people who bailed to Chillrend in the end of Thornblade 1.0 because they could not accept the defeat and now they are back on Thornblade 2.0 since a couple weeks ago because they could not take the beating anymore or simply weren't getting enough ap farm. It does help the faction but I think that most of the hard work has been done by Hijinx and they've been on Thornblade since the end of the last campaign. They've come here to help us when we needed it the most and when everyone was leaving, so thanks to them once again.

Now if you want to say that red wants easy-mode, I disagree. Most people think that last nights were boring as hell and we desire with all our heart that every competitive guild out there will be back on the longest and biggest campaign soon enough.

Why should the AD and DC come back to Thorn? So EP can run off to Chill again? You claim EP wants competitive campaigns and when faced with competition THEY RUN. EP has done it twice already in what, 2 weeks?

EP are not the only ones that have done this. DC ran off to bloodthorn(or whichever campaign it was) when they were getting their butts kicked, and many AD players chose to stick with dead buff servers instead of actual, balanced campaigns.

its not faction oriented, people from every faction do it.
