Icereach PC NA (Mulaamnir/Kyne/BWB NA PC - Final)

Are to two or three regular DC guilds still running? EP has been low pop for the last year except for a month here and there, but I know many of the DC regulars have either moved on or are gearing up their toons so they can move on. May need to start recruiting in starter zones again if there is a shortage.

The only regular guilds I'm aware of in DC that can muster more than 6 people from guild chat are 13 wolves and PUGz. PUGz has been kind of absent lately, 13 does what it can but when we log on it`s usually around midnight and we end up spending the night slowly draining down AD to a manageable pop only to get rear-ended at 5AM when some EP guild (ZZ I think) logs in as we log out.

W0lf_z13

lol yeah, PUGz has been on a PvE kick for the last few weeks ... ive been farming Sun weapons .... got sharpened sword, infero staff and resto staff so far

Stridig

No matter what it's only temporary. During Nigel's reign AD won nearly every campaign for quite some time. Then the tide changed and at a point DC had won something like 12 campaigns in a row. I think you have been around long enough now to have experienced a full BwB cycle. In a month or two EP will surge for a while, win a few campaigns, and then it will start all over. Hang in there.

Adenoma

Cannot agree more. Keep small groups running. Although I always end up in towers I actually really hate fighting in them - just kite people off resources with a 4 man and get good fights using creative terrain.

Congrats to Deca Dixon (Valen-Byte) on your emp! Awesome 3-man last stand at Alessia. And boo to the Nightbladers who had to go to bed just cause it was 3 AM. Sleep, whatever.

And congrats to EP for winning the flag brawl with DC and getting the keep in the end!

gabriebe

It must have been a tough 6 hours without emp. And FYI we pulled out of the flag because we didn't want to risk AD taking advantage of the mutual destruction going on, since there were way more than 3 ADs on that last stand...

Valen_Byte

; ))

I was doing my gold runs when I heard in guild chat that Valen was going for emp. So I came, I saw and I got zerged lol.
We did all what we could to be annoying and make it hard for AD but yea, being annoying is all we managed to do with what we had. Ash defense could have been better considering it's a tank keep.

Occasionally ZZ will have a few people in during prime time, but there are a lot of Aussies and Kiwis in the guild (including the GM) who tend to run later...

You'll likely wait forever for a guild like Sotha to return. Ah I remember the days of leading 3 full 24 man groups. They were fun days but I don't have any desire to return to that and I assure you the other remanants of ye olde Sotha don't either. RIP Sotha

Yeah, I hear ya. As much non fun it is to be on the under populated side and getting zerged down often, it would be just as bad for the campaign to just shift that balance to another faction... but I would like to win a campaign sometimes...

I think many of us in this thread have a thing or two to learn from you about adulthood. Always the underdog, never really complains and doesn't get in arguments with people. There are people in here that have been Emp multiple times that complain about getting zerged. Really makes me think my PvP complaints are petty.

I don't understand your point. I mean Outlaw's been emp a few times and he's been running solo most of the time

My point is this:
I don't recall @Lumsdenml ever having the opportunity to become Emperor, has been on a generally low population faction for a long time and I just realized that he never really complains. However there are others that have been Emp several times that seem to complain about lots of stuff. I just find it interesting how different people with different experiences interact. Maybe I don't really have a point. I don't know. Don't pick on me Rak.

Aww, thanks Stridig! It's probably just because I'm the oldest person on this forum!

Gederic

Perhaps those who cry and shriek about campaign balance all the time should consider running EP then. Its sounds to me that its either AD or DC zerging one or the other down.. That kind of happens when your third faction isn't there and the other faction can just stack all of their players on you. EP gets to live through this at Chalman keep every night in Vivec where AD is utterly incompetent and useless so DC can stick 100 players on us. Maybe AD's players are too busy playing here?

Adenoma

I don't care about balance. I want EP to zerg the map. Argonians now have my love since I started playing magicka warden.

VarisVaris

my next couple toons im rolling ep

Fur_like_snow

If EP had more of a presence between 8pm-4am est they would be worth considering gearing up a toon.

gabriebe

DC is an absolute ghost town between 8am and 4pm. It just feels that these days generally neither EP or DC bothers in the day so much because no matter what the map will be yellow between like noon and 9PM. Without guilds to pull it together, the campaigns just dead.

W0lf_z13

< works till 10pm most days ... starting at 730am ... so i dont usually get on till around 1030pm ....
only thing i can think of is......

ad is full of parent's basement dwellers :P
or just old retired peoples :P

This is all just pot-stirring drama. Red is just doing what it takes to get us to 300 pages. Right?

On a different note, Kyne reminded me last night why I've been enjoying vet PVP so much. DC pugs attacking keep walls with their ice staves, no one buying siege, aggroing front door guards out of boredom, etc. I know some of them just need to learn, and that's fine (I was in their place not too long ago), but some of them seemed actively set against learning how to function in Cyrodiil. I just don't get that.
