So EP and DC, when is it going to be enough????

PC EU Azura Star. So since the start of the campaign we (AD) had a bit of a lead, some trought 1-2 night caps to be honest, but mostly from holding good chunk of keeps trough out the day.
But a week or so into the campaign some thing started to change. More specificly DC and EP started to work together. At first i attributed it to coincidence or whatever, s.... happens. But as the campaign streached on the pattern remains the same, both of them only attack AD. To the point in last week or so as the campaing draws to the end, and we still hold the lead, barely, they started to work together hard mode. They drew the border up north at Bleakers and Dragonclaw and each stays in their side, but push us all the way to our starting point. I mean we dont have any scrolls, no keeps, no res, NOTHING more to take from us, but entire campaign is empty but AD starting arrea. Just as im writing this we have 1 keep (BM) but both fractions are in our faces, and nothing else on the entire map is happening.
It is so frustrating i cant even explain it. Push reds, blues attack you from the back, and other way around. It is coordinated to the point i think they share the same TS channel. Are you guys? Or you just quick in the chat.
I know, they will say im a scrub and dont know what im talking about, but i know, they know, and everyone else in EU Azura knows that purple alliance is real and stronger then ever.

There is still people who don't get how a 3 faction war works?

You're a scrub and you don't know what you're talkin about.

And how is that? 2 fractions gang op on 3rd and attack them untill they have nothing left (not a single keep), and then they do all they can to keep us for retaking BB and BM coz those are most strategic places on the map. Right???
But all the while Reds hold 5 scrolls and 10+ keeps and DC is all good with that.

I wouldn't put much thought behind it honsestly, if anything its baffeling how DC haven't steamrolled further since they have so many guilds that actively play to try and win the campign. TDA, Honour, eXile at times, Foxys Group and Leggio which will frequently guest over, and this isn't even all of them.

EP should also be haveing a way higher score then they do considering that they have Elite 1 -2, Fyra sky screamers PuG and Atherious 8 running daily, and as far as i know theese groups plays objectives aswell. Meanwhile, AD is sitting on UF and Big boss PuG as groups that play the objectives, if anything AD should have a applause that they manage to keep up even though the faction is severly lacking organised groups compared to the other factions in the campaign.

But i think the important thing to note here is that we actually got a campaign with a competetive scoreing on it from ALL sides, it haven't been this close since the 3 - 4 Thornblade cycles we had back in 1.4.

This is war. Drop your tinfoil hat and 'git gud'

In all seriousness though, how many times have AD done the same thing to the other alliances? I'm not saying 2 wrongs make a right or anything but AD isn't perfect.
Also you mentioned the 1-2 nightcaps - I have a feeling this maybe in response to those

No matter what faction you're in, it will usually feel like 2vs1.

That is kinda true, im to also baffled that we managed to keep the first place (not for long). I dont care so much about winning the campaign, but when i have to run from Fare to BB/BM all day long, and when very second we attack Roe/Allesia oposing fraction attack our back i kinda loose the will to play at all.

Dont you have anything else to do but troll the post you have nothing to do with.

r.jan_emailb16_ESO

Sounds like you need to step up your zerg game.

Tyrion87

Somewhere here I have read recently that AD cooperates with DC.
People, at least be consistent with your allegations!

reften

Because many players want to farm AP and could care less about the campaign. It's sad, but true.

you want to get AP. So your two options are attacked a faction that has a 5 scroll boost or attack the weaker faction.

IMO it's one of the weaker flaws in the game. There should be an AP boost for killing another player from a faction that is in the lead.

OK lemme try and understand your logic:
You want to know why EP and DC continue to push you back to your gates and "2v1" you and want them to stop. And your way of achieving this goal is to insult the very people you want to leave you alone. Then when someone like me comes along leaving a sarcastic comment that may or may not imply you need to watch what you say to people, your instant reaction is to call me a troll and indirectly insult me.
10/10 IGN, seems pretty logical.

This is correct. When I think about it , none of the big AD guilds run in Azura (Ronin, EDC, Lux dei).

Basiclly only you BS guys, and UF (medium groups) and big boss pugs. :P

One of the reasons I like azura is that you can wake up to a blue, red, or yellow map from time to time. Not only one colour as other campaigns which get painted blue every night.

But on topic, was only a few days ago since DC and Yellow pushed EP back to their gates, same thing happens to DC from time to time. 3 faction war mate :P

Sure since elite is easy to farm

I really don't understand though why people even bother with winning a campaign since it yields 0 fruitful loot. But everyone to his own I guess.

What do your mean? I though everyoone is so exicted about golden well-fitted trash set...

Junipus

Pretty sure it's because EP want to farm AD since its easier and DC want to make sure they can get a better lead over second place AD (last I checked).

Oh, and Foxey has a deep hatred of AD and so will fight you all above anything else.


Nothing personal.

That I accept.

The key statement in your op is that you were still in the lead. You say "barely" like that means something. Like your opponents should say "they're not beating us by much anymore, maybe we should take it easy on them". That's delusional.

When you're "winning" whether by campaign score, holding emperor, or are dominating the map, you will be the target of the other two. That's just common sense.

If you're winning and the battle for 2nd and 3rd is close, they will be fighting to see who can take more of your stuff, to get the higher score phases. There's no reason for them to fight each other.

AbraXuSeXile

Who cares for the scoring lol

AD are only so high on the scoring because of the zerk crap full yellow map so many times.

Also its AvAvA if you get double focussed live with it.

smacx250

Well, I can't give specifics on this particular instance, but it is a reasonable tactic in multi-way competitions for those that are weaker or otherwise "behind" to cooperate to take down the opponent that is seen as stronger or "ahead". It may be that the other factions both felt they had a better chance at winning by taking you out of the picture, and then facing off against each other.

Iyas

Who cares?

The only winner is the lag and the zergs. Every other player left the campaign for the hope of a lagfree fight..
