I think its hilarious that after EP wins TF..all these DC threads about how awesome DC is show up. Its like the cutest thing ever!

EP gets manhandled come prime time. You know, when there is competition online and they can't PvDoor an emp at 7 in the morning.

EP won the campaign on nightcapping and crowning emps with no competition online. I dethroned more EP emps this campaign than I have in the last 4 campaigns combined. It'll win you campaigns to play that way, but it's not exactly impressive.

Hey, seems like DC likes to make posts and just say things to get their morale up after losing the 30 day campaign. Go on, Im listening

Is that a bad thing ? Should we not try to increase moral ? EP had a tough time a few campaigns back . Does it really make that much of a difference that DC was on top then ?

Edit to add I just think the point of the thread was to say it was a really fun fight ...

Exactly. It was a fun battle. The only way that I can say thank you to the EP and AD who came to fight is through the forums. Without the effort of those two factions, there would not have been a fun battle. I realize that this is a foreign concept to some people but everything is much more fun playing with other people than playing with yourself alone.

It also takes absolutely no skills to pvdoor the map during the wee hours of the morning. It does take skill to take back the map during prime time when you are facing 4 to 1 or greater odds. But, if it makes you feel better because you can get 10 more rocks by pvdoor, then more power to you. I rather have the fun battles. That's the win for me.

Also, I think it demonstrates DC's great tenacity and individual skill that we can come to a totally red map, facing enormous odds, no scrolls, etc., and fight our way back to where we ARE defending Chal with all we got, against two factions. You learn more as an individual fighter that way. And it's way more fun in teamspeak, working as a team and urging one another to be the best in their class they can be.

Gather 'round, proud warriors all,
Silent now and standing tall.
Bow your heads to those who sleep,
Beneath the ground of Chalman Keep.

The flames of war seared the land,
Crushing all with brutal hand.
Dominion soldiers sought the throne,
Chalman, undaunted, stood alone.

Hooves thundered o'er the sward,
Death neared for all, swift and hard.
Defenders stood upon Chalman's wall,
Warriors brave, Covenant heroes all.

Forward came the Dominion hordes,
With arcane spells and gleaming swords.
Walls shook to siege engines' roars,
Rams thundered upon keep doors.

The outer doors fell to the invaders' barrage,
Into the courtyard Elves and Khajiit charged.
The inner door too gave when assaulted,
O'er bodies and rubble the attackers vaulted.

The defenders made their might felt,
Spells flared forth, death was dealt.
Fury rained upon invaders' heads,
'til Khajiit and Elves all were dead.

No time to rest, no time to heal,
Doors and breaches they must seal.
All was repaired, the damage undone,
As another deadly assault was begun.

Once again, fierce battle was fought,
Death was granted where it was sought.
Entropy rose inside the keep,
Swept over all, piled the bodies deep.

Again the bloody tide receded,
Dominion foes once more defeated.
Orc and Redguard and Breton remained,
Proud survivors of Chalman Keep again.

Dominion warriors attacked once more,
In numbers far greater than ever before.
They battered aside weary defenders,
Stopped only in the innermost chambers.

Into the apse the heroes were hounded,
Dominion victory cries loudly sounded.
Then chaos erupted as the Pact swept in,
Seeing their enemies' forces worn thin.

Caught between fierce anvil and hammer,
Elf and Khajiit died in brave manner.
Only Pact and Covenant soon remained,
Then the defenders cleared the field again.

A breath, a pause, a brief respite,
The Covenant cause now truly desperate.
A final assault the Dominion did mount,
A massive wave, too many to count.

Determined to conquer, refusing to desist,
The Dominion force impossible to resist.
The defenders resolved to fight to the last,
No blow was wasted, no spell shoddily cast.

One by one the gallant warriors fell,
Breton, Redguard, and Orc died well.
Their lives given up for Chalman Keep,
They rest forever in honored sleep.

The Dominion banner rose over the hall,
A Dominion Emperor then ruled over all.
Peace came to Chalman, damage repaired,
Attackers dispersed, to other sites they fared.

That emperor is gone, his reign long past.
What remains of this day, what of it lasts?
Just the display of courage, in that final stand,
Of those who stood, and died, at Chalman

This is so epic and awesome poem Really enjoyed it.

This thread was just to thank everyone for a good fight at Chal the other night . It was in fact good fights all around . Those of Us in Daggerfall eventually did get pushed out and are back to square one rebuilding , which we will continue to do . EP continues to dominate the score and prove tough opponents even at the start of this new cycle . We will see how we hold up in the long run . I'm proud of my faction and how hard they fight even when things get tough . I'm sure the other factions feel the same way and they should . It's what makes Cyrodil great despite all the common problems we battle daily with lag and sound problems . I've learned to let the negativity roll off like rain water .

Unfortunate not everyone can do this and just have fun . It is at the end of a fight a game we are all trying to enjoy . Try not to let anyone's comments get in the way of that because it is after all just an opinion and some take the game more serious then others .

Here's to hoping we enjoy the next big battle and those that come after that . Cheers .

lol this thread. everyone calling for good fights and fun when all was happening was disgusting latency issues, pings spiking to 1k, something that I haven't seen since 1.6. There was nothing to be proud of. Just the pathetic behaviours from both sides (EP and DC) to stack their whole population in the same area. It makes me sick to read such a thread. like really?

Frozy, please. DC did not have the entire faction at Chal. More left and went to back cap glade and ales. I can't help it if Zone heeds my calls for back up. Roechacca led the charge for a lot of DC to leave. So please don't sit here and try to SHAME DC for defending a keep!!!!

I heard I missed EP being farmed. I had to log at 8:30 est.

After dethroning Argonian Tears the EP pugs seemed pretty demoralized so we went over to their gates to hold the door open for them and show them the way back onto the map, it was really intended to be a show of good will...

cant wait to see what the map looks like when I get home.

The map got zerg balled during GMT lunch time, as per usual schedule.

Hello everyone,

Recently we've had to remove several posts for some heated back and forth. While we understand discussions on PvP can be touchy, this thread seemed to be more focused on discussing a great battle that took place at Chalman the other day in a friendly manner. We would like to keep this thread friendly, in honor of all who fought that day. For further posts, please be sure to keep the Forum Rules in mind, and much luck to all factions in the future battles for Cyrodiil.

Thank you for understanding!

Its all good Steve, that just means we get more of those 10k O ticks when we dethrone

God_flakes

The fragile EP ego of TF is so pained, they felt the need to poplock all day and all night against 2 bars of DC. (5-3-16) and now will surely pvdoor the map over night and gratz one another for being such ferocious warriors.

GG, red. GG.

A dozen of DC broke away from Chal that and went to recover the AD scroll and two keeps AD managed to grab in the heat of battle at Chal . I don't agree that's a disgusting display from either faction at Chal and don't blame my fellow DC for staying the whole time there . Both sides got passionate about winning the Chalamo once again . The server performance is not any players fault , it's a design problem since way back and you know this all too well so I'm not telling you anything new .

I gave up a long time ago trying to dictate to people how and where they should be and when . They bought the game with their money and have no obligation (even if it's a good suggestion) to change their play style for others . So not only do I not badger them , I also pay them no grudge and I don't entertain people that try the same on me .

In a faction like DC and sometimes even EP , the cost is too great to lose players to this conjecture . I know I need all of DC to be there as a faction United and not divided over play style expectations . Luck in battle Frozn . Stay frosty not angry .

When you buy a boat, it doesn't mean you can use it max speed anytime you feel for it. When you get near the docks, or when you pass slower boats, you must slow down your horses for the best of all. It is exactly the same when you play in Cyrodiil.

The servers cannot handle the actual population caps and they surely can't handle the whole population of two factions in the same area. Sure Zenimax promoted this game as large scale pvp 2years ago but THIS IS NOT HAPPENING. The only thing we can do to make is better is to discipline ourselves and spread out when the ping is spiking up.

Now like every other one before you who keep blaming Zenimax for the poor performances and keep zerging it up, please keep doing so if that suits you. If you don't wanna contribute to make this better, I won't try to change your mind but by all mean, respect people who try to do efforts to help the cause.

Do you lecture EP in zone like this when they do what they did last night, poplock their side and Zerg the map, chasing away any decent fights?

Last time I had a boat I was towed in by the coast guard after getting inebriated and believing I could navigate by star light to Catalina with no map . I ended up in Mexican waters . But , I was in fact some of those that did split away from Chal that night .... So yeah .
