Congrats to EP for winning once again, you played it well.

Kromus

Congratulations to EP on making most team effort in this campaign and most logical choice of objectives in certain situations, which can't be said for AD or DC. However, night/morning planned capping and zerging needs to stop regardless which side do it, and we know all side did it in past. It ruins the game and community, have nothing to do with skill or fighting but plain farming and exploiting bad state of game. If you are about farming, there are a lot of other games you can do so, please leave this one for fighters.

I'd like to call all three sides to form purple, orange or green alliance in next campaign whenever one side decide to do it and to swiftly and brutally punish them until advantage that faction made is nullified (with interest rate ofc). Lets try to make a healthy community in this game for a change and may the best win.

Might be to much to ask, but still, eliminate meteor and caltrops spamming for a week to see how the server will act performance wise, since ZOS is clueless how to fix things.

Yes please. We have stopped using Meteor due to the performance issues it apparantly causes. Would be really nice if other guilds would do the same. But like you said, it might be too much to ask for some people...

Sorry for your lack of balls, not good enough to fight your opponents honourably

Everyone can play 24/7, one of the main reasons EP won this campaign is due to the 6am capping they did a few days ago, nicely done.
They also defend their keeps very well, neither AD or DC combined could crack open the keep, even though we tried for many hours.

No cross faction alliances please, try and play together within your own faction, its amazing what can be achieved , if people just got on and played the game together, instead of b****ing about everyone and everything.

Have fun and may the best faction win, however they choose to play it

I'm sorry Kris, but this is making me giggle. I just remember how you used to flame me and the other odd 3 ppl on Bloodthorn that were having sleeping issues and we stayed up all night chatting and pvding. You raaaaged so much, and now you're doing the same, with a proper choo choo train that sets the alarm. So funny

C'mon man, for any action made one can find excuse in order to justify it, no matter how weak arguments may be. Yes, servers are open 24/7 but they also have prime time, normal and off-hours when least people are online. It's one thing to stay up all night playing, completely different when group of people plan to come online in morning off-hours to take map, solely because there will be very little or no resistance at all.

Yes, for sure, there may be some people who come from work in mornings or wake up a bit earlier to play before work or whatever, but when its not consistent throughout length of campaign and occurs at campaign deciding moments, and in the end decide campaign, those arguments become very weak. Many promising games went down the sink because of players looking for ways to take unfair advantage over others in some way. Its up to us to create healthy community where everyone (as much as possible) can enjoy the game when log on, and bash/banish people that ruin game for majority.

I only joined this campaign last week, had great fights, encountered old enemies and friends, but alas, EP would be lost if it wasn't for morning caps, I don't know if the entire EP is highly unemployed or something. Yes yes... nightcapping is part of the game bla bla bla, can't force people to log off at night. But I wouldnt feel proud of this victory if I stayed up all night and morning zerging through Cyrodiil PvDooring.

Ah well to each their own I guess, but I'd rather fight actual players rather than taking empty keeps at 6AM. I want lag-free PvP, small or large scale. I dont care about campaign scoring... yes winning is nice, but some people are too obsessed with that and will do anything in order to get their faction on top of the leaderboard.

I'm EP, but I'm not hiding behind the fact that people in this faction night/morning cap. I dislike it when enemies do it and to be honest when EP does it, I can't feel proud of it. My guild never night or morning caps, me and guildies fall asleep when there is no resistance, or when enemies refuse to attack anything. As lame as night/morning capping is, you'll never be rid of it.

I remember how AD boasted about their victories which were achieved through nightcaps and low pop bonus bug... So I don't see about what EP should be ashamed for! Scores were close and EP wanted to win more.

P.S.
Yes I'm from EP and no I didn't participate in night/morning caps.

At the start of ESO's life there was still a bit of hope. Now that we are a year later and people like you and your friends made nightcapping 'a thing', still whining about it is just silly.

I don't know anything about alarms. The Pact just always has people online, willing to get *** done. Any other faction with people online at these hours would have done the same, but there's only whining when you are on the receiving end.

Good of you to admit you just whine when you're on the receiving end

Let's hope EP stays on top of those night caps then, otherwise it would be considered a problem again?

April campaign
Diary entry #1:
Pathetic start of new campaign from DC with whole faction zerging Scroll of Altadon. Not possible to cast anything, lay sieges or do damage due to lag. F..[snip] weaklings.

I've accepted nightcapping as a part of ESO quite a while ago since there's no use in trying to fight it. Now, instead of making me whine, it just motivates me to do the same.

Always means 4-3 days before end of campaign ? Stop *** lying, why didn't you just "get *** done" before then ? Alarms ftw

Some find it easier to play without 100 Smurfs spamming meteor at Arrius maingate. If I was you, I'd have a lie down and hope Izanagi comes home early

Exactly. Is she not entitled to play and help her faction win at this time because of her location?
The game is open 24/7. Nightcapping will more than likely always be a factor in this game.

The only good solution I have found to this would be for ZoS to lower point gain at off peak hours to discourage play at these times. But this would also be discouraging to players from different time zones and possibly lose them subs which is obviously the most important factor for ZoS.

Edit: by point gain I mean Campagin Points not AP.

Hold on to your horses, greenhorn! The Ebonheart Pact has almost always at least one group playing at night. Our weak spot has been the early morning, something we noticed and reacted to. In fact, if we hadn't stopped an AD early morning raid a few days before the end of the campaign, there might even have been a chance that the mostly absent and ignored AD would have won the campaign!

EP stronk!

Trottz

yes EP stronk. At least one serious opponent since the Dominion is not what it used to be.

Epic Battles are real. even on Haderus xD

Congrats to the Victory on Thorn!

Won't be back till 12th hotel wifi not good XD

I frankly dont know why AD side is pop-locked all the time, there're only a few groups running during prime time.
Also the problems between some of the bigger AD pvp guilds are not helping as well, I think AD would be more competitive if these issues were solved.

Etaniel

Congratz to EP, faction with the highest unemployment rate

AbraXuSeXile

All your EP late night heroes came to my campaign last night and actually struggled to kill 12 of us, We wiped 2 raids of them at the same time, The only thing that they had on there sides was numbers to keep rezzing over and over

I am now wondering how these guys manage to night cap every night on Thornblade when you guys have a higher population of DC.

Check BRK-Arrius-BRK route, you will find the majority of AD there "farming" (in fact being farmed most of the time)

I still find it funny

Contrary to what you believe I've been raging no matter what faction has been doing the nightcaps. 2 campains ago I went into trying to get both DC and AD to stop with it. But it was just a lost cause so now I don't give a *** about it. If someone nightcaps and I don't feel like dealing with the "bang the head against Glademist until it gives way" for hours, then I just log tbh.

You might take it that way, but this comment to you was never a hidden way of whining about you guys nightcapping. I accept it's the state of the game atm and I don't put more effort into crying about it. The comment was solely for what I explained: You whining in the past and now doing the same is making me giggle. Nothing more nothing less.

Ehm, hence why servers in mmo are divided per continents/time zones and this one is EU Megaserver, meant for EU players so they can all have same prime time of game. When you go to someone house you obey its house rules and EU megaserver is our house. Since we can't expect ZOS to fix it without introducing Oceanic server, it's up to players/community to banish morning cappers from map next day. If it was just one girl that wouldn't be a problem, but in current state of game one organized full group can do whatever it wants with map when there is little to no resistance. Unless combined forces of two factions don't work together next day, pop-locked faction have no problem to defend three close keeps in current state of game. Sadly, it would mean very poor server performance for that period, but if thats the only way to do it, its right way to do it. All recent emperors were taken down with zerging anyway. Really think this campaign is last chance to keep eso pvp live, else it will go down the sink completely, good players will leave and zergers/exploiters will eventually also leave because of boredom, tho with false sense how imba they are.

Xupacabra

My feeling about caps numbers is no more then 70 players for lock. Sometimes 3 locks in one campaign and not 1 fight on map.
