I gotta ask...

... why so many Azura's guilds showed up last night in Haderus? If anything I thought more people would be guesting in Azura's this week.

Some guilds moved to Haderus.

Tertiary Meat & Legion of Death Gaming both periodically visit Haderus because Azura's Star does get boring after a while.

I didn't get on until late, but yeah we were running 6-12 (at various times) in Haderus yesterday evening. I waved at you to say hi at one point. We like to take a break from Azura's once a week or so.

The zerging cycle continues...

I was probably too busy getting zerged to notice. Last night was not kind to small groups.

@Rickter I have to be sure I understand this. You are adding another zerg guild to Azuras for DC? Just wanted to make sure Im hearing this correctly

That's the thing though, for like almost 2 months solid before this thread was even posted DC had Emp pretty constantly in the form Gruffy and Filthy (and briefly a Sorc who's name I cannot remember).

Then 2 weeks into the campaign cycle I got Emp'd. A few days later the OP comes in and starts bitching really hard about AD even though by that time it was mathematically impossible for us to win the campaign and over the course of the last 2 weeks I got dethroned about 6 times (so there was competition, but DC still won the campaign by a large margin (10k point spreads were not uncommon in AS back in the day)). Yeah, I defended a gate keep for a few hours, but I'd only ever witnessed a blue-washed AS, so it took me a while to figure out the courtesies an Emp should show.

Obviously I'm hella biased, but the complaints against AD at the time of the OP were so unjustified. AS was a lot smaller community back in those days, we even use to leave gate keeps unrepaired when going for scrolls. I also recall a time when EP had 0 keeps, so I took my PuG (I use to run PuG's before the load screen bug) up to Farra, we sieged down the walls, killed all the NPCs and then left so the literally 2 EP that were online could cap a keep. In the off hours when I was online as Emp, instead of rolling the map, I use to take off my armour and DC and AD (again, virtually no EP online) would duel for hours up at Glademist, some people got their Emp slayer achievement from my nakedness, others still couldn't kill me XD.

So yeah, the OP switching guilds to EP was a good call and it did revitalize AS. However his hate against AD was completely uncalled for. He would go on long rants about campaign balance and fairness (I should look for the screenshots), but in the next sentence he would say "AD will never win a campaign for as long as I play", which is nothing to do with balance, but a childish vendetta.

Sorry for the rant, but this thread was created in response to the losing side of the campaign getting Emp, even when we could not win we were somehow the ones ruining the campaign.

They way he wrote it you would think that the entire server had yellow fever and was on the brink of total apocalypse ...

Still its kinda ironic to go in a circle accusing each other of zerging whenever someone gains the upper hand or has an extra bar for an hour or two.

Besides, most of the time I'm a solo,lonely, and friendless potato, don't you think its a little too much to ask me to realize how many people are next to me when I'm focusing on spamming regeneration? Only can notice so many things at once

I don't know guys, that tactician passive increases emperor siege damage, a cold fire ballista could be pretty damming with his build

Disclamer: This was a Joke [Johk] and is not meant to be insulting anyone. This potato doesn't want to be burned at any stake.

Micah123

wonderful emp defense there...40 minutes...

Taylor_MB

That has to be some sort of record.

Boozdog

WE MADE HISTORY TONIGHT!
We broke the record for the fastest dethrone ever!

Vurian Johnson, dethroned after 46minutes and 13 seconds during prime time PC/NA Azuras Star! As well as emping. Thank you all for those who helped make history in the making. For the pact!

Edit: We also broke another record! The most "Emperor Slayer" achievements passed out in the shortest amount of time.
Good work everyone

Dammit. I missed my chance to get the achievements on all my toons

technohic

Seriously. Popped in and was like "Oh we have emp." Gets to the last tower and it's like "where the hell is the rest of blue?" Went from pop locked to 3 bars but I didn't see where the 3 bars were. I've often wondered where DC goes.

My first Emperorship and I crowned during prime-time, instead of night-capping like you did your most recent emperorship. Not to mention, I was experiencing 500 ping the entire emperorship because AD & EP both stacked their entire faction into each keep. Good job, you zerged the map. Should I remind you of the night when LoDG logged into Azura's Star and dethroned you within 30minutes of signing in? (And we had to start from Glademist)

Also: I died to only 4 people during my Emperorship and all of those people more than likely had their Emperor Slayer achievement already.

Most of DC was stuck in loading screens and lagging their way around the map. I was more than upset to find out that there was only 27 DC defending Aleswell when it fell, the rest were still in the process of running there...

I'm glad this has happened, the drama potential is astounding. I predict at least 4 pages of good forum salt 5x faster then normal.

They tend to melt like butter and need rezes when you look at them

I could see that. By the time I got in, the 2nd to last keep was burst. I got there and fought for a bit (thanks to LODG for a couple rezes) and I think I was 1 of 3 left when I died. Then I hit a load screen. Had to hard close ESO. By the time I got back in and headed to the last keep, yellow was circling the perimeter and red
Had the inner nearly down. I got in long enough to hit a couple people but everyone was scattered. It was a lost cause.

Oh well. Was at least good to see more players there in general.

Malibulove

I'm not defending EP because they zerged like crazy to dethrone lol, but getting stuck in load-screens is sadly part of the game.

My first dethrone ever I was in the process of a restart, and I know Dubzug lost at least one Emp last cycle because nobody could transit into Chalman.

Vurian97

People should be reminded that this was my first Emperorship. I have yet to even theorycraft an Emperor build, nor have any idea how to go about one. We didn't plan to crown tonight, we ended up with some momentum and we went with it. Sure, we dethroned in 46minutes, but for my first crowning while competing against poplocked EP as 3bars DC and having 2 bars of AD also pushing at us, there wasn't much we were going to do anyway.

I was there! Fastest PvDoor I ever was a part of. Felt darn good though.

Also daaaaayum. Sounds like a it was a fun day.

Tonight they went to Haderus. I talked to a couple of DC who said there were too many EP in Azuras.

Firstly, this is the second AS thread since the CP removal.

Secondly, This is historically inaccurate and missing information as well as slandering the OP due to the lack of knowledge of the campaign history.

Lastly, AD gate camped for 3 months straight. And I don't mean pushed to the gates, I mean no one could leave the gates at any point in the day. Lextor was emp for what? Like 23 days or something along those lines?

What is inaccurate? For the time period I covered in my post I have a high level on confidence in what I said. Lextor is a name I remember but was before my time in PvP.

Faction x doing something so faction y doing it back is no excuse. I feel for the players who had to deal with Lextor, but that doesn't justify doing it back (which is why when I was Emp I kept myself and AD (when they listened) off gate keeps (apart from the first few hours)). In the timeline I covered in my post AD was fighting back, but we still came no where near close to winning that campaign, or the one after it. So I stand by my statement that the OP was in fact whinging unnecessarily.

I did not mention DC's domination at the start to justify gate camping, just some context to me not knowing how to behave as Emp. I honestly have no clue why Lextor's AD gate camping and DC's gate camping have anything to do with what I covered in my post.

I'm willing to take your word on Lextor's time, but I don't see the relevance to what I said or make it historically inaccurate.

Edit: I cannot count how many times I've argued with people about not giving "payback" to gate campers or whatever.
