    Look at Thorn before you complain (for those that don't know, Thornblade is 100% EP right now)

    Maybe you should tell EP and DC guilds to not run away to other campaigns after getting wiped once on their Dethrone pushes.

    "EP ran away"?.......are you serious? .......AD is only over populated on AS because you and DC had a mass exodus from Thorn. Get your facts straight on who ran away from where and why.

    DC and AD left thorn because we were sick of the lag, everywhere EP followed us we crushed them because we could actually play the game.

    and what are you even talking about? two guilds of EP went on Azuras last night and they tried to both hold up in Chalman and we completely demolished both of them, right after that fight they all changed servers.

    Do you think maybe the left because they were extremely outnumbered and after 1.6 bigger numbers pretty much always win?

    I repeat, two guilds, both full raids vs our guild but I guess we had like 50x the number of them huh?

    Agrippa, you of all people should know that pop-lock isn't a good indicator of organized opposition.

    I saw more EP and DC, separately, than I ever saw of any other AD. We were the only group over 10, and I saw at least 3 EP raids and a DC zerg at least twice our size.

    I'm loving all this hyperbolic QQ, though. Very popcorn-worthy.

    Last night AD was mostly pug groups. No organized guilds.

    Had there been organized guilds representing any type of opposition.. EP and DC would have left like they usually do.

    This mentality of "we only want to stay and play if we are winning" isn't good for the health of PvP in the game at all.

    AD left last night because EP brought real raid groups and farmed AD into submission.

    The bolded part of your post is laughable. AD is fighting on azuras with more than double numbers, half of which is in full groups. The AD on azuras are great to farm, but they arent looking for a competitive fight "for the health of PvP."
    And the reign of "lord" Fengrush lasted about as long as the time between his macroed attacks.

    The Lord FENGRUSH is being harassed by many of the slaughtered on Azuras. It is only natural that you will feel this way if you try to compare yourself to Him. Accept FENGRUSH and maybe one day you can also achieve greatness.

    That same argument can be said about new AD players on Thornblade/CHillrend as well as DC players for pretty much all campaigns. I don't know where youre headed with that.

    Telel finds the talking words of the one called Fengrush to be most odd and confusing.

    Perhaps if he spoke more like the humble khajiit, and less like the superior but regicide prone mermens he'd be easier to understand yes?


    Also this one apparently makes great bait. All they have to do is show up to a keep and every Dagget on the server comes out to say 'hi there, have some stunlock.' Fortunately Telel's ability to take daggers to the face permitted other attacks elsewhere to proceed smoothly

    Same thing kinda goes for Azura Star. Campaign started off nice, but as soon as AD took lead, EP and DC disappear.

    I guess "I want competitive PvP" means "As long as we have a zerg big enough to farm AP from pugs and no organized guilds resist us".

    It's sad, but PvP in ESO is becoming kind of a joke...

    From your posts i kinda gather that you feel Competitive PvP is about trying to have the most points for your faction, right?

    I cant help but think that is the case because as other people have already mentioned pushing into larger groups and taking the keep from a larger group (2x or more) is not an easy thing to do with all possible buffs. Its made worse when as you are trying to do this the last keep you grabbed is being hit by a seperate 3rd raid and unless you went back to defend it would fall.

    Then you are in a nice, awesome position where you cant attack because the enemy is so much larger they gobble anything up behind you, and pushing into them is like moving through syrup.

    Is that the competitive pvp you are talking about? Or is this case not competitive due to not having 2 or 3 raid groups running separately and our fault for not having a larger guild(s)?

    Maybe stop thinking of it as if it's a one faction issue. I'm heading to know what can we do? If I were AD and on Thorneblade, I'd like to know what I can do.

    But seems things are picking up on Azura's Star again. The EP exodus isn't so awful. And DC has a glimmer of hope to take back some keeps.

    Fact of matter is, the goal of the game is to flip keeps, scrolls and resscources and keep them. tell me rylana if im wrong but, cyrodiil is an arena or structured battleground?

    No it is not. The game is based o massive pvp fight with lots of players. Sorry for playing the game as intended.

    I could use mch harsher arguments but I wont as I dont want to go the same path your going right now

    Anyone subscribing to that playstyle and considering themselves good is delusional. Excuses on why they lose with massively superior numbers, flat out lies from the officers to the junior members on what is going on, just a pack of wolves leading a bunch of lemmings to slaughter. What TKO really is now is a core of about 8-10 mediocre to fairly decent players surrounded by 40+ bads they use as fodder so they arent targeted first.

    Take that core out of the blob and they get trainwrecked. I know this because I used to be part of that inner group, watching everyone around me die as the tiny inner core did all of the work.

    Theres a reason players like me always seemed to make the biggest difference when we actually played with that group, because taken as a single person, I am better than 8-10 combined of those so called organized members that are fielded. I rez, I move, I set siege, I self heal. Etc. I dont need 50 people around me to accomplish my goal. Six to eight of us in GoS working together flipped a whole damn ring in an hour before, even numbers defended.

    Taking empty keeps, only engaging with overwhelming odds, "farming" smaller groups for tiny 100 ticks, this doesnt make people better players, it actually makes them worse and more reliant.

    Thankfully I threw that yoke off and went back to my small group roots. In those groups, everyone has to carry their own weight. You dont have 10 people off crown sitting afk in a keep pming their pve buddies that just happen to show up for a keep tick, etc.

    Less has always been more in this game. My advice to you and anyone else listening/reading is to open your damn eyes and see it for what it really is. All of the old core is gone now because of the direction that guild took. You wonder why? Because all of us got sick of carrying scrubs, got tired of not playing for 45 minutes listening to the same damn tired speeches, got sick of failing vs organized groups because of the massive chaos a huge blob causes.

    I just want fights, good fights. I dont care if its 1v1, 2v2, 5v10, 20 v 20... number skew is fine, but if you think youre a pro guild because you can kill 10 guys with 50, I got some news for ya... thats actually really... really sad.

    Damn Rylana is putting you guys on blast. I agree with everything stated as well. Over compensating for lack of gear/skill/levels/whatever you wanna call it with more people is all well and good. What you guys do though is just shameful. Ill deal with it though tons of kills and ap to be had we wont be leaving Azuras. However reading you people defending what you are doing is just ... ugh...

    As an example. I am in a group with the LORD. A small group of 6. We are fighting a group of AD, I won't say full raid but at least 20, Running from us into tower I am not sure if they want to say this is "Farming" but noone really died in my group. Waiting for another group of at least 12 to come and help them. Those who have fought the LORD know we do not run big AoE bomb groups or anything. We don't even gear out or spec to take down groups like that. Yet you WAIT untill you have numbers that are just untouchable with the amount of competition you actually have. This is not tactics skill or anything this is just shameful.

    I just hope others start seeing it. Its not salt or butthurt or any of that. I feel legit pity for those decent players still running with them that subject themselves to it. I suppose some of them might have fun, I dunno, but I can earn more AP in a couple hours with a six man GoS group than I ever did in a night with those guys.

    The zerg meta being how it is now is choking the last life out of the overall game in Cyrodiil as it is. More need to emigrate away from it. Only then will we see a return to realistically decent fights where theres a sense of real accomplishment in beating your opponents, or a sense of real defeat when you get rolled.

    When I got rolled vs a 50 man TKO team with a 16 man GoS team, I didnt feel beaten. Especially since we killed more than half of them before we went down. =/ In my eyes we actually won that fight.

    i dont know what group tried running 2 scrolls in azuras but it was really funny how they fled the moment they started wiping back to back. More amusing is the fact they fled to Pugerus to farm AP on the poplocked with pugs AD. guess they didnt like the fact they were facing a actual guild somewhere in the waves of pugs in azuras.

    least a few DC groups have some balls to stay in Azuras..

    So much trashtalk. I get it now, you want a who-has-the-biggest-one-in-his-pants contest?

    You know what you sound like? A running-back from when I was playing football claiming he could 1v1 anyone. But guess what? It's not how it works.

    It works with the points on the score-board. And as long as you are playing inside the rules, this is all that matters. Its the only way to properly measure who's winning and who is not.

    Go ahead and play the though guy with your 5v5 bull crap if it makes you feel any better or help you sustain that inflated ego of yours. Truth is, the game does not support that type of gameplay. Do do me a big favor and stop plugging such non-sense on these forums.

    You want 1v1, 2v2, 5v10, 20 v 20 pvp? pls click here and leave us the *** alone ----­ https://www.guildwars2.com/

    Because until proven otherwise, you sound just like a sore loser who wants to publicly insult a former guild because he is unable to beat them.

    P.S. The fact that you killed half of our new/non-fully built/leveled players and brag about it on the forums is of such bad state coming from you. Surprisingly disapointing.

    About the whole Zerging thing. It's the nature of life to find strength in numbers. Most animals do it to protect themselves from predators. It's also a valid military strategy to outnumber your enemies.

    It's not about being weak. It's about being smart.

    The game is supposed to support it. It's not against terms of use. I never read or saw ZoS state that zerging is 'not working as intended'. The game was advertised as being a massive pvp experience with hundreds of players on your screen.

    ESO is about a three-faction massive war in a large and open map.

    ZoS did not implement structured PvP. That means the game itself does not support it in terms of balance / planning.

    Only way ZoS did try to regulate the numbers of players in PvP is by lower population caps for each factions.

    Those are facts.

    What are NOT facts is claiming that it destroys the game. This is merely a pathetic excuse to explain any lack of success.

    Do you ever ear a MLB team *** about losing because the opposite team gots more cash to pay the players? No, because that guy would be called a [snip]. Players may say it amonst themselves, but not in public.

    Zerging or whatever you call it. Everyone done it, everyone was victim of it. Some days you win, some days you dont.

    To use your own analogy. Teams like the Yankees (more money) would have the better gear(players) then say the AZ diamondbacks. They way you are playing is if an 9 man squad was going up against a 30+ man squad. Try getting a hit when there are 30+ players out on that field mr baseball.

    The blind leading the blind I suppose. I guess the only valid playstyle in this game is to intentionally outnumber your opponents in every fight or tuck tail and avoid it completely.

    Cause thats literally all I am hearing right now.

    Ive been in that TS, been around since nearly launch with that guild. Two facts that are not in dispute.

    The guild was better with the former leadership, both in strategy and in community.

    Its members truly believe the lies of the current leadership. (that they are getting even number kills, they are the best guild in the game, they wont get better AP with anyone else, everyone else copies their tactics, this is the only way ti play in Cyrodiil, they only lose because certain red guilds lag out the server, etc)

    Every single one is a bald faced lie.

    Ive yet to fight them even numbers and see them win a single fight.

    The best guild in the game stopped playing nearly eight months ago, and they will never be as good as them.

    465000 AP in one evening with my red guild vs 121000 AP with that one in a similar timeframe, speaks for itself

    No one copies them, their leader believes he is some kind of messiah come to teach everyone how to play the game. All of the strats in use have been out long before that guild ever did them, save perhaps for stacking 60 people on crown and stealth bombing someone, no one else does that. No one else needs to.

    There are more ways to play in Cyro than numbers games. Way more. Hell even a solo player can do well if they know what to do. Small groups still have a place, medium guilds actually rule the roost as most of them are the real map movers and holders. The big zerg guilds are flash in the pans that pass or get rolfstomped by the medium sizers.

    That guild causes more lag than the "Chaotically named guild" ever did, just by spamming their purge crap all the time. Yet hear them tell it, and its always some ghost or gremlin on the other side thats making them lose, god forbid they ever get outplayed, oh no that never happens. I flat out said in TS one time we got outplayed and I got legit yelled at by raidcaller calling me a liar (one of his many rants, dude needs ritalin really badly). Never any personal responsibility, always blaming others outside of the group (pugs, the other side, the devs, spongebob, etc) for their failures.

    I guess next time the "Guild similar to Chaos" wipes you inside of a tower with just 12 guys, when you have6 70+ youll just blame the server again right? I mean ive got no love for that guild, but they beat the living crap out of you over and over and over and over and over. I see where some of them were coming from now.

    TKO, you lost everything when she left this game. What little left you had went with Rylana.

    You seriously need to take a hard look at what you're doing with yourselves and work on improving as players and a guild. You were a fun team to fight a long, long time ago. No longer. You are the cause of all your complaints now.

    Running in a zerg has become very passé, overrated and cowardly. I urge all
    Of the "elite" players to do what I have done and stop hiding behind your zerg. Stop coming to the forums and patting yourself on the back and proclaiming you and your "23" players beat back hundreds to dominate a map when we all know and can all see its your 23 along with 60 others behind you, some grouped, some not. Form smaller groups and engage in smaller skirmishes and then lets see how bad you are.

    Small Scale fighting has always been the most fun in this game.

    Have to admit, that resource fight we had the other night was good stuff. :)

    @Agrippa_Invisus So was that most humble and ouch filled tussle at Glademist to your liking?

    Certainly the pups and Telel enjoyed themselves. Even if getting run over (repeatedly) by 20 or more blupers in a tight formation is not our strongsuit we like to think the eight of us gave a good show and provided our superior opponents some entertainment that also earned us a good chunk of OM NOM NOM NOM

    Also this one escaped the fall of the keep through a handy escape mechanism known as gravity and zigging when one should have zagged.

    What fight at Glademist? Do you mean Arrius?

    I made about 300-320K of AP over the course of today, starting with kill Herkamur repeatedly at the Arrius mine and then graduating to bigger, better things. Of course, when AD zergs down keeps with 4 full bars of pop vs 1 bar of EP, causing the server to poop itself, we cease having a lot of fun. We extracted a bit more AP from the AD zerg at Arrius's third floor, but everything eventually boils down to numbers in today's ESO.

    I just wish the guild that was maintaining AS as a buff server would stop thinking it is good -- it isn't.

    Oops. Apparently there's a DC named agriipa INVICTUS and that is whom was running in the midst of the blueberry stuffing this one was skirmishing with.

    :s

    And no, they meant Glademist. Khajiit sadly was unable to attened the long slog at Arrius as this one's most insistent opponents simply would not stop hurling themselves at the hug hammer long enough for the pack to disengage.

    Fact of matter is, the goal of the game is to flip keeps, scrolls and resscources and keep them. tell me rylana if im wrong but, cyrodiil is an arena or structured battleground?

    No it is not. The game is based o massive pvp fight with lots of players. Sorry for playing the game as intended.

    I could use mch harsher arguments but I wont as I dont want to go the same path your going right now

    Anyone subscribing to that playstyle and considering themselves good is delusional. Excuses on why they lose with massively superior numbers, flat out lies from the officers to the junior members on what is going on, just a pack of wolves leading a bunch of lemmings to slaughter. What TKO really is now is a core of about 8-10 mediocre to fairly decent players surrounded by 40+ bads they use as fodder so they arent targeted first.

    Take that core out of the blob and they get trainwrecked. I know this because I used to be part of that inner group, watching everyone around me die as the tiny inner core did all of the work.

    Theres a reason players like me always seemed to make the biggest difference when we actually played with that group, because taken as a single person, I am better than 8-10 combined of those so called organized members that are fielded. I rez, I move, I set siege, I self heal. Etc. I dont need 50 people around me to accomplish my goal. Six to eight of us in GoS working together flipped a whole damn ring in an hour before, even numbers defended.

    Taking empty keeps, only engaging with overwhelming odds, "farming" smaller groups for tiny 100 ticks, this doesnt make people better players, it actually makes them worse and more reliant.

    Thankfully I threw that yoke off and went back to my small group roots. In those groups, everyone has to carry their own weight. You dont have 10 people off crown sitting afk in a keep pming their pve buddies that just happen to show up for a keep tick, etc.

    Less has always been more in this game. My advice to you and anyone else listening/reading is to open your damn eyes and see it for what it really is. All of the old core is gone now because of the direction that guild took. You wonder why? Because all of us got sick of carrying scrubs, got tired of not playing for 45 minutes listening to the same damn tired speeches, got sick of failing vs organized groups because of the massive chaos a huge blob causes.

    I just want fights, good fights. I dont care if its 1v1, 2v2, 5v10, 20 v 20... number skew is fine, but if you think youre a pro guild because you can kill 10 guys with 50, I got some news for ya... thats actually really... really sad.

    So much trashtalk. I get it now, you want a who-has-the-biggest-one-in-his-pants contest?

    You know what you sound like? A running-back from when I was playing football claiming he could 1v1 anyone. But guess what? It's not how it works.

    It works with the points on the score-board. And as long as you are playing inside the rules, this is all that matters. Its the only way to properly measure who's winning and who is not.

    Go ahead and play the though guy with your 5v5 bull crap if it makes you feel any better or help you sustain that inflated ego of yours. Truth is, the game does not support that type of gameplay. Do do me a big favor and stop plugging such non-sense on these forums.

    You want 1v1, 2v2, 5v10, 20 v 20 pvp? pls click here and leave us the *** alone ----­ https://www.guildwars2.com/

    Because until proven otherwise, you sound just like a sore loser who wants to publicly insult a former guild because he is unable to beat them.

    P.S. The fact that you killed half of our new/non-fully built/leveled players and brag about it on the forums is of such bad state coming from you. Surprisingly disapointing.


    Bravo. Pretty much sums it up.
