Azura's Star NA PC Thread

Taylor_MB

That's the thing though, because they constantly run in massive groups against lower population they are actually terrible at pvp, they can easily be stopped. They never improve their skills (or at least very slowly) cause their strategy just involves out numbering.

Story time!
1) 1v2, 1v3 or 1vx, sooooo many times they've just continued to ride past and run away instead of stopping and helping their friend I am mutilating, it's hilarious.
2) A few nights last campaign AD had 2 bars vs poplock during their prime (I guess players logged on at their non peak hours to see what was up). Spent like 5 hours at Ash, they never even flagged the keep. Like 40 DC constantly getting rolled by maybe 15 AD + 5 or so covering with siege. It was fun (and so much AP)..... but it honestly turned into a chore after a little while, they are just so bad it was not even fun fighting.

Guess my point is, they are not getting any competition in their prime time (98% of the time), so they'll either get bored and leave, or if another faction can scrap together 2 bars they can easily be stopped in their tracks cause their pvp skills have not improved since day 1.

I especially like when they pop a siege shield in an open field fight with no siege anywhere.

Yeah. That's the problem.

Azura is pretty boring right now cause of that asian DC zerg. Srsly they should split their group to at least 2 factions.. I haven't been active in cyro the past week cause of them Maybe us non japanese DC should reroll to EP or AD, even if just temporarily!

I just popped in here to read the EP salt. lol

The "oceanic" zerg avoided EP for almost an entire month, and focused on AD. EP took advantage of that, and rallied to finish in second place.

Now, the Zerg is starting to focus on EP... and reds are QQ'ing now...? lol?

Suck it up, EP.

Once the "oceanics" get on you, they're not leaving. Every night. It's gonna be this. lol

If you scroll through the pages there's more AD salt here than anyone else mate. Entire AD guilds ran away and hid for the second half of the campaign, yours included. The Asian zerg doesn't avoid anyone, they turn the whole map blue for keep bonuses, camp it, and farm in IC.

EP logged on each night and with the same pop or less than AD's and took keeps back from DC and held them longer to earn the points before they were night capped back again. Sounds like you got more salt on the bun than anyone else, show up this time and maybe things will go better for you.

First up there is 10x more AD salt in this thread than anything else. There aren't any EP on AZ to actually complain about anything. I'm surprised there isn't more EP QQ here tbh, we are constantly outnumbered by both AD and DC, who both seem to keep pushing us rather than each other. AD QQ'd for the entire time the DC zerg focused them so why can't we? I mean we really should be QQing after last night. I logged off when 40+ DC tore through BRK.
The only reason the DC oceanic zerg is focusing EP now is that AD have their own oceanic zerg now so DC can't just run them over easily.

AD have an oceanic zerg? Can you tell them to stop farming in crackedwood and help us fight!!!!

That's honestly where they must be, I saw them once, they got wiped and then I never saw them again last night. Maybe they were actually pushing DC for once and I didn't notice.

Cypriot122

Yeah I've seen them once before as well... they must swap campaigns

Taylor_MB

Stop being selfish guys, sharing is caring, enough salt to go around for everyone.

We should band together and salt up Lake Rumare and kill the slaughterfish! Free IC access for everyone!

Are there screenshots of this new "AD oceanic Zerg?" If so, I'd love to see them. For real.

Oh? RoB "ran away" halfway through? Hmmm... that's probably news to us. But, anyhoo.

And, I have no salt, sweetheart. We got our gold rewards and moseyed on over to TF. But, we'll come back AZ for IC runs from time to time. See ya there sometime.

I don't have any because I only saw them once last night before they wiped and, I'm guessing, pushed DC. Either that or like Cypriot said, they switched campaigns. Though when they disappeared the AD pop was still 2-3 bars so I assume they just pushed DC.

... easiest fix to all this nonsense is is lock people to their faction and campaign. You can have all the class/ race setups you feel like but then you can't flip on a whim to the other faction in the same campaign whether you try to promote good or bad behaviours.

Im an AD player from aus, and has been faced with the swarm of blues lots of times. Must just be when i play.

You lock someone in. They are commited to the fight, good or bad. May be rough some times but you could change up when campaign ends

About midway through the last campaign, it would have been a good thing for some AD with EP characters (as group) to aggressively push the northern DC hold during NA prime time. DC tended to ball up in the south and it may have drawn away those pesky red encounters at non-productive locations.

Although I agree with being vested as a player in concept, AZ's population is too dynamic to allow for such a restriction. Just my opinion.

cbaudersub17_ESO

Back when the blue invasion horde first started, there was a lesser AD counterpart. A 'who are all these blues...so many blues...wait there's a smaller group of yellows too...gosh, they all suck' moment.

I have not seen the yellows since that first weekend (but, admittedly, I can not play NA early during the week). So is some semblance of the yellow bandits really back?

I sighted the elusive Bitaken_Unjust not more then 12 hours ago capping resources right under the noses of DC's dedicated resource capping Zerg.

No matter how much I have hated on and continue to dislike the AD that originally inhabited AZ - the reality is they have either moved to DC to feed off the AZN Invasion - or they have left the server for the most part. This new DC zerg needs a good solid butt reaming. I heard about a DC emp who is bringing entire zergs to defend emp keeps - and the 20+ that come to resources and well...I was "coerced" into coming back. I have to rework some things in my build to become top tier again - but I had some fun the past couple of days. I'll be around - not attacking AD - for the time being.

My apologies good Sir. I did not know you had returned. Thought you were done with ESO for good.

Day 2 of the EP revenge tour is well underway coming to a DC keep near you, get your tickets now.

I don't know if a post has ever been more concise (or accidental) in explaining just how hard DC zergs AZ.

It's kind of crazy to think that you avoid scoring because otherwise you might inadvertently get Emp when your faction floods the ring.

Every single campaign each faction usually gets Emp multiple times, being consistently #1 almost guarantees you'll get crowned. What was quoted does not at all demonstrate that DC zergs (although yes, they certainly did end of last campaign). Just pointing out not wanting to be Emp does not prove DC zergs, weird logic.

Chuga_Rei

Exactly what tay said. DC zergs, hard. Especially when I work late I come home to it. Thats why I had GASP 3 EP characters that where tier 3 rewards last campaign, one which was fairly high on the overall boards.


I have been around on DC since we were so badly outnumbered we couldnt lock a campaign it seemed, to when we had a influx of reroll guilds, back to a flat lining and now this oceanic zerg.

I was implying that being AWAY from the zerg, there was insane AP to be made thanks to an abundance of enemies.

I dont know who your main is, but im guessing its EP. The ironic thing is when you are outnumbered the worst I guarantee most the time I am fighting alongside you.

Last time I played with you I got invited on a alt into SO and told to tank. When told I had never tanked and asked for some tips on positioning etc i was told "just taunt the bad guys and dont stand in the red, you will be fine"

it gave me nightmares reminiscent of the time a drunk BBQ asked in ts "what does breaking these things do" in AA when No Mercy decided every player just HAD TO HAVE julianos white.

you arent to be trusted, I think.

You had fun, you were definitely laughing and not in a nervous way.

Never compare me to BBQ. Especially drunk pre-1.6 BBQ. Never.

Damn, I don't know how you guys fight in the snow up north all the time, I can't see ***.

jhharvest

Most of the EP lands are butt ugly, unfortunately. That's why EP is so keen on pushing Alessia, gives them a change from all the mud and puddles of icy water.

HowlKimchi

I actually like the snow!

Planning on making an EP toon, it's getting pretty hard to find non-zerg action in the server right now.
