Kudos to the side that managed tie up the first group by masterfully playing their defense tick addiction against them. I'm not even upset, that's amazing.
And a rational player would spend 9+ hours killing themselves to screw with other players? To be honest, they put us in a lose-lose situation. Even if we outlasted their nonsense, they still kept too many of us sitting in an outpost while the campaign flipped. I was in and out of the outpost all night up until the end. I tried to help save Alessia before EP was crowned, as well. After nobody else left the outpost to prevent a crowning, it was pretty apparent that we were stuck there until it was over, so I waited it out. They can play the "we won because we kept you busy" card all they want, but we know how badly they wanted the offense tick, and they didn't get it even after a final, massive push with coordinated troll camps. Troll camp goes up, impulse ball goes in. Don't think we didn't notice.
Maybe you should take a look at your own faction for the troll camps.
A lot of AD players were really pissed at DiE and Venatus for sitting at sejanus for 12 hours. You guys gave up every single keep, both scrolls, for 50k ap?
Would it be so wild to theorize, that maybe people of your own faction wanted you guys to lose that outpost so you guys could begin reclaiming all the keeps in that pvdoor fashion you do every night?
Everyone, by now, knows how to PM people in another faction
Also, claiming all the guilds other than DiE and Venatus are useless, is a little rude. I don't think those two guilds would do so well without all the AD population support.
Yes, alot of AD was really pissed, but in defense of Venatus, they left sej to defend fare, wiped blue, returned to sej, part of them then went to defend scroll. they didnt sith there all night just waiting around. As for DiE, i dont think most of them were even on while most of the map was being lost. Regardless i had a blast at sej, it was some helms deep stuff. thanks for the good times DC and EP. we need fights like that every now and then to change the "defend here, blood port to defend over there etc etc" all night long.

Heck I don't even think DiE was present at Sej till the wee hours of the night but anyways. Every night most, if not ALL, PvP guilds in EVERY alliance blaze a trail around the campaign map putting out brush fires started by the opposition. Acting as a bulwark against the opposing alliances' best PvP guilds. Starting up new brush fires for the other alliance to deal with. Flipping all resources at a keep to isolate it from transit. Doing a 20/20 or 50/50 without dropping an FC or flipping resources. Paving the way for the alliance to push on a scroll. Helping thwart an opposing alliance's push for Emperor. So maybe for once a guild or heck alliance players decide to do something CRAZY like defend an outpost their alliance held at the time, which we all know this is how it all started.
Hov you would be a liar to say No Mercy doesn't decide to do something on its own from time to time? Perhaps something that many would interpret as detrimental to the alliance that I'm sure pissed off some DC players and yet you did it. Heck I know I have fought and even died at many No Mercy infamous resource tower oil farms or Alessia Bridge when there were more pressing matters for DC on the map. Go ahead and try the stir up the pot with your comments about what AD was thinking because you were privy to whispers in-game from AD players. We all get whispers from the opposition at times and I will leave it at that. But then again this thread isn't about alliance politics it was about the mechanics, or lack thereof, offensive and defensive ticks and I think we can all agree it needs to change in some way shape for form. Too often many lose out on ticks to help secure a keep because it is in the best interests of the keep. Too often ticks take too long to register or is extended because one player ran into another on the periphery of the keep. Whether or not Zos will change it and anytime soon is unlikely.

You must be so proud for you and your friends to have turned an entire pvp of a mmo into a complete joke and exploit fest. Hell your even rolling the unstable wall exploit last night. Hell, you might as well go grab a few hacks to throw into the mix and really just bring pvp to it's knees, about the only thing that wasn't thrown at us last night. Actually I would prefer a hacker over this pathetic line of play.

I honestly cant stop laughing at this. Half the time the AD runs around talking about how all they do is "crush the opposition" in campaigns, Now we have a perfectly viable, easy strategy. Call it an "exploit" but no one was holding a gun to your head to get a AP tick from a tactically useless outpost while you lost the entire map.
Every chance MOST of the AD gets on these forums it comes down to "so what we got rolled, we dont care about AP we are in it to crush Blue/Red" because you constantly get destroyed by groups you outnumber 3-1 and then hope you wake up to all the oceanic players work(no hate, who am i to tell you not to log on during your free time?) of turning the map back yellow or at least keeping you in the lead.
Instead of this you guys wasted 12 hours for 50k? 50k of what, maybe 150 earned total all night? Now im sure some of yall actually enjoyed it and power to them, but if you sat around for the "principle" of the work you put in fine. But dont ever profess to be a team player part of the "dominion greater good" or whatever circle jerk thing you guys have going on.
Next time, stop caring so much and you wont come off looking like a bunch of morons because you got played like a fiddle by a bakers dozen for 12 hours with a few sporadic bursts of action lol.
Next time, loosen up, and stop taking a video game so seriously. I made almost 500k ap roaming around having fun and trying to burn people down in a sea of players while doing work emails lol, the fact that there were dozens of AD fuming angry only makes it that much better.
sucks, because you have the AD talent on one end, the guys just trying to have fun on the other and they get it ruined for them by a bunch of try hard nobodies who dont take this game seriously enough to l2p, but take it seriously enough that they let it actually negatively affect their real lives.

Sorry you must have me mistaken for the typical MMO player or a big part of some AD elite guild. No, I am a regular joe, first mmo game ever, and I have more time played with EP than AD and more time playing solo than with a guild in pvp. I have before yesterday, 0 forum posts. So in a nutshell you brought out the regular folk to complain about last night and all the exploits. Still find my post funny? I don't care what he or she did last month or six months ago, it never went as far no matter what it was as last night did. I quit ESO pvp last night, and in the sense that it's a complete joke and I won't waste my time like that again. As I said before, keep up the good work and perhaps people like you, no matter what faction, will be left to play against each other all night. Now to Arma 3 for me....where at least when I get cheated I get to ban the dudes.
And by the way, it wasn't 49k AP, it was over 2.5 million AP. That is the number that people stayed for.

The Wall of Elements "exploit" is likely a damage display error. Never has my damage meter reported anything other than the normal 130-140ish ticks; I often stack the wall . It's decent damage, but Fire Ring is better. It's the ulti gen that makes it attractive.
But I recognize you are mad because bad. In this case, reason will not suffice you. Thus, allow me to recommend:
Feel better soon!

Amazing job ZOS. This group spends the entire night exploiting pvp and then they walk right up in the forums and just brag about it. Maybe your friend should post screen shots of his talents of troll camps. The one over the ledge where you had to kill yourself to get out of was a really fun one...and the one in the water..what a laugher. Guess if I wanna really play pvp, im going to need to level a DC character up and become as lame as these dudes. No, I know. I'll just play one of the 250,000 other available games to me. Ha what an idea!

2.5 million AP.

And im still waiting to hear what "exploits" you saw in play. I admit the wall of elements thing through me for a loop myself the first time I saw it, then realized after looking at my damage log that all that happened was it included the damage over 1-2 minutes and rolled it all into 1 attack for the death recap.
Im a normal dude, I work 2 jobs, try and go to the gym, pay biills etc. I never signed up for the forum until today myself.
So this post pretty much brought out the nerd ragers. This is only my second MMO but I imagine your also probably a bad that yells into the mic in arma about hackers because your not sure how you died.
and to be fair, if we needed anyone to quit PvP its the AD. I would rather you just play your EP more in cry-o-dil but leaving works as well.

If I were going to have an alt to troll camp, I would not name it"I am Aoe Barbecue" lol. While I may be a convenient target I assure you that no BBQ troll camps have ever been placed. Honestly, if it were me I'd be trolling people about it anyways.
But hay gurl, ur mad. Let's fight about it babe
Let me get this straight.
You are mad, that you stayed at a keep to get a la plrge tick, which when you put in time spent working towards it was total crap, yet you are happy that you got the tick?
Im so confused right now, I have no idea how anyone forced you to stay at sejanus for a second more than you wanted to. In between dying I earned 489k AP and my faction passed yours on the score board because you were too selfish to put the factions needs above your own.
Look if you want to play on the AD, dont care about AP and want to win every faction go for it, no one is stopping you. but sitting around dancing in your underwear for 12 hours was for yourself, yourself only. Every single player who sat there, who half went to sleep or even macro'd to stay logged in did nothing for the team. They did it for their own selfish reasons. Thats totally fine, I dont pay your sub, play as you please.
But please dont tell me about how you did this and earned that and had your night "ruined" because of us. dozens of other AD players stayed and fought outnumbered to defend everything and ultimately lost it all because the majority of the people showed that they really want AP, personal renown. They dont want to win the campaign, they want to achieve status and the campaign takes the hit because of them.
Im going to say this again, no one exploited, im sorry you got troll camped, im sorry you were miserable, next time you are not having fun do what I do, log off, go to the gym, have a beer whatever. But the amount of anger you posses only shows how the cognitive dissonance is just destroying you from the inside.
thanks though, I really didnt know me an a few group members had the ability to mind control you into losing the entire map for an hour worth of a decent AP farm. Sorry your night was ruined, maybe next time to dont take hook, line and sinker and come out trying to smell like a rose because of a very small amount of AP for time spent.
as for the game being brought to a halt, maybe in your myopic view sure, but i saw your scrolls taken, every last keep fell, and an enemy emperor was crowned and by your own choice you did nothing to stop it.
No sir, the action continued and the AP flowed, you just missed out on almost lal of it.
You keep using the word exploit, I do not think you know what this means.....
but meanwhile, the less you play, the more balanced the campaigns are. AD=dc/ep COMBINED. no one will miss you. and yes, the EP was there lol, they are the reason we wiped without a camp when you all finally got the tick. you should be thanking them.
