Xbox NA smallscale campaign

Lexxypwns

With scourge ending, I'm looking to make a move to a much less zergy campaign. Any suggestions? I know haderus is still zergy AF. I see decent pop levels on skeleton key sometimes, but its very hit or miss.

Thornblade has been alright lately but not great. Sometimes you can find small fights but equally often it will just be a zerg pushing for emp because it's an easy campaign to crown in. I'll be checking back in with this thread to see if anyone has any better ideas.

I'm in EP and I'm also looking to move from my hm campaign in Skull. For some reason it has become over populated and laggy. I know skeleton key was a buff server for EP, but I've been watching Thornblade and it seems like it could be worth a try.

Gonna guest into thorn today to check it out.

If everyone could spread the word maybe we can get some good small scale on xbox!

I know AD used to be big in Thornblade but lately its seems EP has the higher population according to the bars EP normally has two while AD and DC has 1

I'm there as EP and lately it has not mattered. We had 2 bars at one point when AD had one and AD had most of the map. EP in thornblade needs a good pvp guild or two.

Thornblade is a garbage small scale campaign tbh. Sure there's only 2 bars pop most time but they're always zerging together, that's not small scale however you want to look at it. 35 people in 1 place is better than 60, but it's still zerging, still large scale

Any luck finding a small scale campaign? Scourge has become way to zergy now so I'm ready to move on if there is a better option

there doesn't appear to be one. this game is such a joke anyway

i think skeleton key is by far the best at the moment. even if population is capped you still dont see many huge zergs running around. have only encountered bad lag a few times in the 3 weeks ive been playing on it. i liked it enough to make it my home campaign.

theres not a whole lot of action during the day but in the evening it gets good.

Chillrend used to be really fun until a bunch of AD joined the campaign and flooded it with crescent ranked try hards, essentially ruining it.

The message that needs to be spread is to the emp crowning guilds, once you all crown emp you shouldn't keep pushing to take the whole map. It destroys the health of pvp. Pugs lose all hope they simply don't go PvP until they can switch campaigns when all the keeps are one color.

We've capped emp a couple times on Skeleton Key this past week and didn't push any further after that. In doing so, the pvp stayed competitive and each alliance has kept on playing. Unfortunately, I logged in just now during my lunchbreak and what happened, it's all one color again.

Why I think this is relative, because when the map is all one color there are no fights anywhere other than the gates, where it is literally impossible for the underpops to spread out. If alliances at least have 2/3 keeps there are decisions to be made, as in some small groups will go here, some will go there, zerg will go over there, etc.

PvP "Officers" like Prefect+ need to start leading by example and quit zerging the maps down. Pugs follow the ranks, that's just a fact.

But, but, all that sweet AP when 40 people take a keep against 6 defenders! Farming emp keeps couldn't possibly give more ap than that...

Right.. It's honestly the most frustrating part for me. Cyro is a laggy mess which ZOS needs to fix, but it makes it that much more unbearable when the players completely kill any competitiveness in these campaigns. Oh, and then want to "duel" you in your own gate..

Small Scale? Is that a new DLC or something?

Chillrend isnt that bad anymore, DC is still hopelessly outnumbered but AD zergs alot less (ep still does) but its still better then the lagfests of Haderus and Scourge. You guys should try it out .
