Thornblade [NA] - Cycle 4.0 - Revenge of the Chiquita! (General Campaign Thread)

Agrippa_Invisus

New campaign cycle, new general thread.

With EP's victory behind us, let's trash talk, spam, and have moderators tsk-tsk us some more.

I'll start:

Seems the AD baddies are already back to running the map yellow an hour or two before maintenance. Wow, that new emp -- Rinoa, Winona, Minnow, whatever its name is -- awful. And yeah, at 1-3 minutes before maintenance, even if you pick up Ghartok, you're not getting it home and it'll be back in the temple due to the reset, so wiping on us repeatedly while everyone's naked and dancing (and still wiping) is both feeding us AP and pretty bad.

Of course, they were on our nuts all day. 'Daggerfall Covenant has captured Castle Bloodmayne!' 'Castle Black Boot is under attack. A:14/D:0'. Where are the majority of the AD? BRK Mine, getting wiped repeatedly. Guess they feel they have something to prove after both coming in last and losing a guild to EP.

But hey, you can zerg down empty keeps still. Pretty good at that, still.

So, cycle 4.0. More of the old, and SS:DD already! Woot!

I am completely amazed, but not at all surprised, that not a soul left thornblade.

In before 20 threads over the next month about lag and crashes.

Ooohhh, shots fired!

Wonder who had the balls to stand so close to that bear to record it...

I assume it's a tame bear.

Did someone mention bears?

What amaze me the most about last night : DC stayed at Chalman mine during 4hours to get that precious 32k defense tick and meanwhile, AD got 3keeps, an outpost and emperor on their back. DC and AD were 2bars against EP 1bar this whole time. DC had several good one hand shield dks players rolling at Chal mine and wiped disorganized EP pugs for what? Certainly not challenge but easy AP farm to boost their rank on the leaderboard! After all, who cares about objectives and challenge? It's all about bragging right?

Not to forget that a 24men group from AD was running, but nope. Gotta slay EP 1bar pugs while they can and go to sleep during primetime because they definitely cannot stand against EP guilds rolling on them. lmao

Dear EP,

How long did it take you to recapture Kingscrest last night? There were six (6) of us at Lumbermill wiping groups. Fluff and Grunt were AFK most of the time. Then the A-team showed up and we were pushed to the Keep. The infinite LoM legions of approximately eight (8) players along with maybe eight NM rekt y'all for several hours. Good times.

Rylana

I was busy elsewhere, doing other important things, because I am the hero that cyrodiil deserves.

-rolls eyes- you didnt have to keep coming. Could have just left us alone...

I also don't know about disorganized. There were some damn good fights and strategetic pushes for that flag from yourself, crystalized, some of EP DiE. I actually had a lot of fun and by the way, there have been PLENTY of times where DC is at 1 bar and being picked on by both alliances.

AD also got emperor after the 32k tick, arrius and chalman falling, and your scroll being taken.

I saw several AD guilds take a lot of embarrassing wipes yesterday due to a certain new EP guild.

They mad, bro. They mad.

I was there, it lasted 2:30 hours. Bloody embarrassing, the zone chat was gold:

"Charge in, guys. CHARGE IN. Why are you all standing at the breach? Why is no one replacing the FCs? What the hell are you all doing?"

Yes we had 8 players all day except for 2 hours where we welcomed back a few returning No Mercy players.

Early this morning we had 3.

Hahahaa. Fun times. We do the same crap at Warden w/ nearly the same zone chat. Just add in: "Why aren't you repairing walls?!"

Cheers.

Sorry we couldn't help we had 3 overly tired people on this morning.

My favorite part of Warden was that they kept knocking down the death corner in the back against where the inner keep and the outer wall meet. The one where you can either go through a six inch gap or a cubby to try to make it to the courtyard and can be oiled from the wall and the inner keep's third floor. We had about 8-10 oils dropping on every player who stepped in.

And they knocked down the same wall, every time.

As much as I hate to admit it running face first into that large group of DC at chal mine was pretty entertaining for a time.

Not to forget that you can get out of the door of the inner postern right on top of the wall and repair the breach from up there. Enjoy the free tips guys.

Chalman Mine was a lot of fun.

Roselle

I put a lot of support and healing into thornblade for about 23 hours, and had the help of some really nice people willing to coordinate a strat to throne me before maintenance.

You can call me whatever you want. I had some fun and I will see you around.

Edit: freduian slip

Roselle

deleted because I didn't edit right. I'm tired :0

I know I'm shooting for less stress this campaign than last. Being in first much of the way comes with a lot of intensity.

I like being able to log in and just do... whatevs.

4 hours for that D tick was nothing. I barely filled up half a poop sock.
