So, fellow AD player here, been guesting on your campaign recently (as it is by far the most active, and I've been thinking about joining it as my home even if the que times are horrendous since most other servers are hit or miss with the action) and I gotta say... You guys are a special blend of herp a derp it seems.
Now don't get me wrong, I was on during the whole double team from DC/EP when they both pushed for scrolls, and we made a really good defense against the EP to stop them at the scroll and prevent them from getting it but I noticed something while defending keep after keep as they fell. The other side was simply fielding a lot more troops going after objectives. Now I get it, at times we had 3 keeps under siege at the same time against pretty much the full might of EP/DC, but even then the keep defense was just pitiful. It seems, for a pop cap AD with ques, no one was bothering to defend. Then once DC gets the gate open and starts pushing for the scroll there is still... no one... around.... That scroll was the most lightly defended thing I've seen. Switch over to EP to try and save the last scroll and we have not even a quarter of the pop capped server mounting a defense. It's not like other players are trying to siege, so where were you all? AFK back at home base watching netfix? PvEing in the most popular PvP server on PS4?
Day 2! We are starting to make a push, taking back keeps, we've taken 4 back from EP, DC is also moving on EP and pretty much keeping a good 75% of their player base occupied. Prime time to get our scroll back! Oh wait, herp a derp! Let's keep pushing EP to it's gate aaaaaand then make pathetic covert op attempts at the stolen scroll deep in DC territory, not even bothering to reclaim 2 keeps and an outpost DC has taken from us in home territory from their original push against our scroll. Add to this the *** poor amount of repairing going on as we took keeps (we had walls left wide open on our home keeps, one even had the inner wall left breached!) and the still pitifully small numbers for a pop capped server and I'm beginning to think Azura might just be DC/EP farming ground against AD bads.
Day 3 starts with me logging into my main PvP campaign today for some good fights and fun, only to have it die down as prime time moves on, and que into Azura for the third day in a row. 200 player que! Pop Capped! Let's look at the map. Man, DC has been slowly pushing against EP still, what are we up to? 2 *** poor sieges against EP (/facepalm) and... oh my god, 5 siege up at one of the DC controlled AD home keeps from the scroll run 3 days ago?! That sounds like smarts to me, let's go help these boys out. Oh look, it's 8 people mounting a semi successful siege against what should be our number 1 enemy. We even breach the inner keep after getting repelled once, DC reinforcments are pouring in AD reinforcements are... no where to be seen. Siege wipes. Look at map. 1 *** poor siege still going against EP, other has been crushed, still no movement against other DC held keeps. My god. I'm in a campaign surrounded by at least 75% derps.and 10% afks. Or perhaps the number is switched.
So, the first question. Where is all the pop in AD? For a server capped campaign there are a horribly low amount of players at 90% of the sieges I've seen mounted the last 3 days, and keep defense is pretty much non existent. (I can't tell you how many times less than 5 of us have been trying to defend a keep against 30+ enemies the last 3 days). The second question! Why are all of you so focused on EP when DC is slowly starting to dominate the map, and still has OUR SCROLL. You realize you are basically slowly feeding them EPs scrolls, right? If the status quo of *** poor numbers, no aggressive action against DC, and horrible keep defenses continue DC is gonna slowly creep on the double teamed EP and get those nice fat juicy PvP scroll dmg and defense boosts.
But then again, what do I care? It's not my home campaign.
TL:DR Stop being bad AD.
Signed, AD
