    I don't have control of what the group does without me there. Good to see DC can poplock a 2nd server, though.

    Yea thought that was weird, DC hardly could pop one server pre-IC.

    Had some fun on TF (which is currently my guest campaign) last night, until we AD found ourselves outnumbered by at least 3 to 1. Our group called it a night at that point.

    I do wish people wouldn't troll with the scroll, though. Not classy to take a scroll to the small island in the water and just stand there. Either run it, or leave it be. That's the time when I logged off for the night. Our group was already breaking up because of the aforementioned numbers issue, but I was willing to run with the scroll and see if we might be able to get it back to our Temple - only to find the group that grabbed it intended to troll with it.

    Had a challenging but fun time on TF yesterday evening going against K-Hole and GoS. We were a little outmanned early (like in that crazy alessia bridge fight) but once we got to 12-16 people (we topped out at 21) we definitely held our own and had success.

    Yeah, we had a small guild group going as well (we had 18 at our high point - we had about 6 guildies and then picked up all the random folks in zone chat and the group managed to synergize really well even despite most of us not having fought together before), and had a lot of fun - we could probably do even better if the AD groups tried a little more coordination. We started losing people around 11pm because it was Sunday night, so folks had work the next day.

    My guild was in TF until about 830-9 EST last night and it was phenomenal small group combat. Hope this trend keeps up!

    Yeah, we slowed down/went our separate ways around 11 pm EST. Basically some of us got tired and the rest of us got hungry.

    Yeah, quite a few folks were guesting in TF last night, it seems (not sure whether your guild homes there or not, more a general observation). My templar is guested there, with her home on Axe, but since Axe is effectively dead (always has been, really - it was all-yellow for quite a few weeks, and has now gone all-red with Zazeer's crew homed there), I may just make TF her home.

    It was all good and fun till something happened Saturday night. Most of DC logged early (as usual, even for a freakin Sat. night) So AD decided to just grab up all the scrolls and emp. I logged on Sunday to find EP took EVERYthing, and pushed everyone back to gates. This had to happen somewhere between 3 to 9 AM CST Sunday morning. Now really guys...WTF?!?!?!?

    Go ahead and take the scrolls, take emp, but seriously EP, you had to take even the inner keeps for both factions? Nice PV'door action there. Well done.../golfclap.

    Panda brought it to one of those quest towns, actually -- Cheydinhaal maybe? I can only tell Cropsford and Bruma apart from the rest of them. Anyway, what he said to me was that he "wanted to ensure that every single servant of the Queen had an opportunity to complete their daily Cyrodiil fetch quests without fear of being preyed upon by brigands or highwaymen". Afterwards, he took it on a tour of nearby skyshards, in an effort to "strengthen the capacities of Her Majesty's brave but unseasoned militia via armed and glowing escort".

    I dunno; it's really hard to tell that guy what to do.

    Yesterday TF pops were some of the highest I've seen in quite a while, and the lag when it was there was never as bad as AZ. To all the players from AD and EP that were there... It was good fun all around. Glad to hear you guys had a good time.

    Most nights-- per completion of my rounds-- I unlock the office of the Dragongnat Emeritus, return the needle of the turntable to "Hooked on a Feeling", pour a fresh finger of brandy into thine goblet, polish the resin coated eagle Standard, replenish the mothballs of your checkered jersey, fasten another of your postcards to the wall. When the song ends, I extinguish the candles in the hallway and set the building to rest.

    I was pleasantly surprised that my PR never went over about 250, even when we had some pretty big fights going on. I still saw quite a bit of skill lag at times, but at least it wasn't a complete skill-locked lag-fest.

    I swear man, a full one quarter of my deaths yesterday evening were by your hands in particular. Still, great fun nonetheless ;)

    Been building a guild AD-side from Duplo blocks and mysterious crystals. Glarin's been doing the same, so we share soldiers and pool our AP to buy Cyrodiilic Field Tarts. Trueflame only bumps during primetime, but that works for now. There's always a point in the night when you look at the map and notice everyone's gone, but by then Azura's is playable, so you go over there if you want to keep going.

    The fights on TF are good because the people who home here want to be here, and they don't give up immediately. Guests and assist groups do give up immediately, so people know that any one-sidedness is gonna be a temporary thing. Zergs come through to crown and then leave; they don't have any other zergs to fight.

    A little bit more of everyone would be great, and a lot more of anyone would be bad. Most nights you have to PvDoor your home keeps back to get a foundation in place, and I get the sense it's like that for everyone, just trading off pro underdog status. More people, at more hours, would fix that. We need another red group, followed by another yellow group, and if blue feels completely overwhelmed at that point I like the idea of VE being available to queue in. Where Azura's would be at that point, I dunno.

    Closing Notions: I think TF is actually a terrific place for mid-level players and new groups. Every alliance at almost every time could benefit from someone hitting or defending something that they aren't already, and small groups can do really good work. It's also an environment where decent players have a chance to turn good and then possibly great; I think new players getting better at PvP and having more fun in PvP is the most critical thing for the playerbase atm behind the devs fixing performance. The population on TF can be very unpredictable, super in flux, so you have to play it real smart and be prepared to be suddenly outgunned. Pretty much every fight gives you something to learn from.

    I'll leave you with a video of my guild, Fantasia 2000, that Aeryj recorded a couple days back. We've gotten up to a consistent crew of 8-12 people (coordination / wife swapping / invite sharing with Relentless Order, who run on TF the nights when we don't, has been crucial here), but that's only after spending an eternity running in groups of 3-5. First clip is small man bomb squad mode, second clip is 8vRaid. I play the crown.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slv7ijabpWg

    Josh, sorry, I have to dislike the video:/ You missed one key component in the video... I didn't hear "MY VEIL!" Dude, I watched the raw footage of the 10 man farm we had in 1.6 on the EP zerg and when we went around the corner and bombed them you yelled so loud it was just hysterical lmao xD Definitely, will include it in the next video. haha
