I guess my biggest complaint is this..... when I'm alone and a larger group is on my tail, let's fight. I mean if it's fun to steam roll 1 person with your group have at it. But when the solo person is holding block while jumping up and down, just fight. It's not like the rest of your group can't rez you if you die. If you want to steam roll 1 person at least unequip your weapons and beat me to death.

Do you know how funny it is to watch a group like that wipe to you, and only you at a keep? lel.

Oh I have plenty of salt, but I have been told to be good.

Gosh, I hate being good

Bring out the salt, its like sustenance.

I actually like fighting that group. As long as they are not in a tower somewhere! They run a tight group. I don't think I have ever seen more than 6 to 8 in the group. I have never seen t-bagging or trash talk from them and after fight whispers have been pleasant. Pretty classy group imo.

I really appreciate it, Stridig. I actually try to enforce a pretty strict no t-bag policy (with a few notable exceptions), as I think it's both stupid and disrespectful, ESPECIALLY if we are running with 6 and catch a solo in a field--it's not like dropping one player fast is any particular accomplishment. Always fun fighting you guys when you have a group running.

As for towers...I actually don't like going in them. I prefer fighting on resource NPCs, when given the option, but recently we've been drawing a lot of heat, and going into the tower is the best way to fight 10-20 people with our groups our size. We do what we can with the tools the game provides. Its the same reason I don't rage about wrecking blow, radiant, or siege damage, even if those things can be a little imba sometimes.

Would those notable exceptions be t-bagging Emily?

I didn't say anything but I thought I received a few t-bags from that group. I've been t-bagged by so many players it could have been someone else in a wedding dress.

Heh, no, you don't quite make the list. But I can't keep a leash on everybody : P

I think most of the time when that happens (a group steamrolling a solo player) its just a 'wrong place wrong time' situation. I know when I am taking my group to an objective, we certainly aren't looking for lone players to slay. They are just in the way of where we are going. I'm certainly not going to stop the whole group just so the solo player doesn't feel like they got ZERFed down. We simply don't have time for that kind of thing. We are after objectives and a solo player isn't one of them.

Blackwater Blade is sort of in a casual state at the moment. 2 bar pop for all factions at the most during prime time and even then it's not much excitement. I think we're all waiting for the campaign while it lies on it's deathbed since come the new patch, BwB will be removed, unfortunately.

Our guild actually did have like 6 people surround someone and we just all bashed him to death. I forget who it was, but he just sort of stopped moving and I think we were all laughing too hard. It was pretty goofy looking.

I agree that it's been fairly quiet a lot of the time, but we got up to 3 bars across the board over the weekend. I hadn't seen that in quite a while.

I'm certainly not waiting for the campaign to die. I don't think it will - it'd be a big surprise to me if it did. I don't know what they'd put in the place of the nonvet campaign. Do you think they want to combine with Azura's or something? If so, I'll get to run my small groups while I wear all my gold V16 Bloodspawn, Engine Guardian, or other endgame sets and beat up level tens. I know I'd quit PvP pretty quickly if I were them and that was my only option for PvP. Not only that, but removing BwB removes a huge volume of diversity in builds that you just can't get in endgame because sets aren't available at V16. ZOS would be foolish to remove BwB or some other non-CP, nonvet iteration. I'm not sentimental about the name, so they can change that all they want.

Oh i had no idea about the weekend haha woops. Yeah during a live stream ZoS announced the removal of BwB and that Azura's Star was to be the only non-CP campaign so i guess bwb pop is going to have to move over there.

Adenoma

@Defialed , link please? If they made Azura's non-vet only, that'd be cool. Except anyone who plays regularly on one character for 30 days is gonna vet out in that time. If this turns out to be the case, I'm really unhappy about it - we've got a special community in BwB and I'd hate to see it go.

Valen_Byte

If that is the case we need to make sure everyone in BwB knows about it. Im really pissed right now. I hope to death that's not true. I will quit...no bs. I will not play one day after DB if they remove BwB.

With you on that. Not sure I'll quit entirely, but I certainly will unsub and not touch a crown again.

I started a thread and tagged @ZOS_GinaBruno asking if this rumor is true. Just in case it is, I think we should all put aside our faction color, band together and make sure zos knows that we want BwB to stay. I am formally asking all who love Bwb to go to that thread and speak your mind as to why it should stay.

@Valen_Byte I'm with you.

kit_sune

Ad could you stop running in big groups, I keep getting complaints from random people about ad zergs and I'm starting to believe I'm becoming bwb's head of HR because of the complaints.

(This is a joke. Don't start arguing about zergs. Don't actually whisper me with complaints now. And please don't Zerg till prime time[that goes for all factions])

W0lf_z13

TOTALLY gonna start spam whispering u " THE ZERG!!! OMG!!! THE ZERG!!!!" now :P lol

DeadlyRecluse

BWB NOT BEING REMOVED as per Brian Wheeler's comment in Dixon's thread about it.

/Puts away torches, pitchforks.

W0lf_z13

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stridig

Nice work from everybody in the BwB community. That was a fairly quick response with a great outcome. Long live BwB!

Gederic

Yeah that was a surprisingly quick response, kind of surprised that they responded at all instead of just ignoring it.

Wrecking Blow morph no longer knockback and stun enemies hit

The only weapon I use is getting nurfed
