The fights last night were great. It's just unbelievable how it seems like some of you are incapable of ever believing that you could possibly lose a fair fight or a fight where you outnumbered either DC or AD.
Last night started with EP and DC both 3 bars and I think AD with 2... you guys having emp and keeps up to DC gate. An hour and a half later you had nothing but your tri-keeps while both DC and EP were still at 3 bars each, and that was prime-time on a Friday night.
If that somehow translates in your mind to an overwhelming DC advantage I really don't know what to tell you.

I might agree with you wholeheartedly, but understand members of your faction; hell members of the group you play with have raged in EP zone, to me and others in PMs... that what you just typed is completely untrue.
Like literally I've told people "yeah both factions have a big zerg whats the big deal?" and been spammed down with profanity from DC players who are adamant that doesn't happen. In the world they profess to live in, no DC zerg exists (despite the humorous proof, which I am always happy to provide).
So if you want to convince somebody that big groups of DC fights big groups of EP and win, convince your own group-mates, because some of them are the ones crying the loudest that big groups of DC don't exist; even though for 5(?) AS cycles now it's been the DC show.
Truthfully nobody even really cared; it was pretty quiet here for the cycle or two prior to this one until some DC players started losing their minds shouting about how they joined the underdog faction to 1vX the throngs of AD and EP or whatever.
Glad all these other groups from DC and EP joined Azura's Star to keep pounding AD into the ground even further.
Also, DC Logic: EP has 5 emp keeps, AD has Ash, better hit ASH!
So I thought it would be a good idea to make a bow build for my stamblade alt. Well guess what? It doesn't work. Ya, I know what you'd say: "Everybody knows bow is a terrible weapon, WhiteMage, and you're not some amazing theorycrafter to prove them wrong." Well you're right, ok? Happy? I'm not! I'm pretty frustrated that I sunk 30k gold into various sets trying to make it work.
You see, I had this bright idea that bows should be weapons that rely mostly on light attacks for damage, so I tried 2pc kena and 5pc kvatch gladiator. Want your light attacks to be executes? So do I! But it doesn't turn out that way. Light attacks hit for about 900 with this "build", and 1800 more weapon damage doesn't change a thing. So I'm sorry to anyone who caught me spamming light attacks at them. I'm not usually that terrible, and you'll be happy to know that it just ain't viable. (Now if they could reach 2-3k, that'd be a different story!)
Lessons learned:
I'm a terrible stamblade
You can't make bow viable
Kvatch Gladiator is a *** set, not worth resubbing for just to get to the Gold Coast to make it because no one will craft it for you
Light attack spam is the sole province of zerglings aka 1vX material
Fair warning though, I will unlearn all those (well most) of those lessons next time I get bored, and I will go right back to trying to execute you with a light attack. Many light attacks. Most of which you will dodge.
I didnt see a single AD all last night im doing it wrong.
We had 6-8 ourselves. Mainly we were focusing on EP though so we had very few fights against DC. Some good fights but in each one with EP it seemed every time we'd wipe a group they'd come back with more until they eventually won.Glad all these other groups from DC and EP joined Azura's Star to keep pounding AD into the ground even further.

We had some nice 8v alot against reds though. 8 is a awesome group size, wish we could do it more.

Almost none of what you wrote has much to do with my post that you quoted. My post was specifically about a night that all 3 factions were full and EP started with DC tri-keeps and emperor, and not 2 hours later had nothing but your own tri-keeps.
This was following posts of Miat's screenshots by your faction that seemed to insinuate that EP only loses keeps and outposts when they're up against overwhelming numbers (despite most of these being taken post-fight when it appears much worse than it actually was). You held nothing against anybody that night. I understand the situation is different when you have emp and both other factions are pushing, but if your faction can't do better than losing a keep every 10 minutes maybe your defense tactics need work.
Maybe you received a little hate in zone chat and PM's because a day or so earlier, when we dared push up for a scroll past your tri-keeps, people on your faction felt the need to craft a sob-story to PM and get them in for a real zerg (that many EP regulars seemed happy to surf). Before and since then, it seems a regular occurrence to wake up in the morning and see a red emp, no DC tri-keeps and/or all our scrolls gone.
If you're still upset about the zone chat or whispers from the person that did it, don't use my post to continue that conversation. I'd guess that if certain members of your faction didn't constantly whine about being zerged down, and then call in a TF zerg, you wouldn't receive the same response.
I'd also guess that EP runs larger numbers of organized groups than DC does, and this really isn't something I'd complain about too too much. If you're in a 6, 8 man or bigger group and are having trouble with 'send x for invite' DC zone chat groups, again, I don't know what to tell you. The group I've been fortunate to run with this cycle has never complained about that, and you're welcome to check the latest video our group leader put out to see what generally happens against randoms with numbers.

Hello Azura natives, this is Crow from Pact Militia. Last night we were minding our own business in Trueflame, having some epic fights with a worthy enemy guild called VE. When suddenly, word reached our ear about a DC usurper named Fengrush, who was taking his band of merry men and gate camping EP.
We don't want to hear about anymore gate farming going on on azuras

Elder Hoffer on AD and Chillmatic (who has already replied to you) both have deadly bow builds that have 1 shot me so many times.
Thankfully for them as well, they don't need to exploit vipers sting by proccing it off of lethal arrow and poison injection to land kills / carry their damage like some other scrubs in Azuars, so take their advice !

Or you think EP only ever pushed the one time PM randomly showed up on the server?
I love you random fanboys, but you all are re-writing some history.

Just not much point in playing when any minute Fengrush and his hundreds of followers will swarm the emp circle and take emp and scrolls in minutes.
It's not stupid to not care about the campaign score. I know personally I gave up caring about the time ZOS deleted Wabbajack.squidprojectb14_ESO wrote: »

The issue last night was EP's refusal to do anything other than [try to] defend whatever keep the DC zerg was hitting. There was no effort to counterattack DC's back lines. It was a losing strategy from the beginning.
