Ha! There is a lot of truth in that...

Yes, we are an actual EP guild and we Crusade to Brindle. If you would like to join contact Reader or Tuppy. You must beat Monster.Gaming in a duel first though for Dark is our Lord.

I just rolled my stamplar on EP. If anyone wants to join groups that I'm running, I think a few friends are coming with me. Gonna have some fun.

Adenoma

Offer stands for EP. Today I'll likely be getting my stamplar ready and all ground up. I'll be running teamspeak groups. Pop in, have a meet and greet, make friends, and maybe we'll all learn something while we try to scrounge up some blood for the Pact.

Just beware - shuffle and double take are big nerfs to PvP aesthetics. Especially double take.

Not to *** on your parade or anything, but it's been pretty funny to watch how EP has woken up after DC decided to kill AD/AA (almost) once and for all earlier this week.

Adenoma

I'm just looking forward to feeling like I can run a group. With AD having such a large population advantage it's been really hard to run a group of 4-6 and do fun things without a million other folks appearing or without affecting the map too dramatically.

gabriebe

Yea, but what I'm saying is the last few days EP's had a non-negligible pop advantage and AD's kinda crashed. I spoke to one of their morning guild leaders to kinda suss out if we could make an arrangement to not gate-camp in the future as they had done in the past, and which is why we camped em earlier this week. They said then they welcomed the challenge and to bring it on. They must be in heavy preparations for that challenge because they seem to have vanished....

That being said, there should be a pop surge on all sides this week. People are hungry for those crown crates...

Adenoma

I think AD population will stay pretty healthy. It's great if EP has population as well.

I'm sad to see another long term player stepping down from every day play. Thank you for everything you have done Saber!

Sorry to hear that. Still using the pvp gear guide he put together on the defunct PugzofDaggerfall website.

Stridig

Was just poking around the forums and saw that the new Dragon Bones is out? Anybody notice any good changes to PvP?

AOE caps are gone.

For anyone doubting the BS we are facing every morning in Kyne.

Vivec at 9:40 AM on a Saturday:

I guess I should apologize for thinking ADs pop would dip permanently. They love their PvDoor too much for that.

Adenoma

Lots of AD. Not a lot of DC.

Am I seeing these images correctly? Is that 0 bars population across the board on Vivec, and 1/0/0 on Kyne? Is PVP seriously dying in this game?

gabriebe

I guess I should add I found out later that Vivec had a queue problem, so that's why it was empty. I checked maybe an hour after I took the screenshot and Kyne<s AD pop and Shor pop (where everyone from Vivec went) were even.

I'm just saying it's completely abnormal for a population of 30+ to pop out of nowhere at 8-9AM every day when nobody else is on, every single day. Not sure how I'm supposed to rile up a group to fight against that when the 5-6 people or so in zone chat get run over by about 30 people first thing in the morning, and the serious guild groups (and let<s be honest, there's really only one in DC at the moment) only log in a full 6-8 hours later. We managed to fight back last week but that's simply because everyone was just so fed up, we had to stretch our ressources hard and get people to play for way longer than they should've. It's a bit crazy that the only way we can manage a reasonnable population of AD is by making sure we gate camp them.

Adenoma

More DC now.

Thanks for the fun Emperor on friday folks, been emp 10x on EU in Kyne and Shor. NA Kyne is taken pretty seriously and was most definitely the most fun I had as Emp since CP was removed from BwB when we had guilds there EU.

24 hours into Kyne NA top had 650k AP, EU top had 250k.
12 hours into Vivec NA top had 600k AP, EU top had 1.2 mil.

EU forum for BwB/Kyne 54 pages, NA 1,000+.

Respect the passion but maybe try Vivec sometime. Leave the newbies alone, the guilt was real.

Won't be coming back unless another friend wants emp.

raviour

Just LoL though. So many farming DB and meteor ( no soul assault ???) + non-crafted gear like total 1vX try hards and even golding it up. Then running in zergs vs total newbies that bought the game last week.

Doctors orders... Go Vivec.

Was a sad sight.

Y'all should be ashamed especially as I destroyed you all 1v20 as emp defending castles. (even as non-emp).

raviour

@gabriebe respect for try to perma-block zergs LoL. You said you returned from Sotha. Try Vivec with CP maybe you can figure out a perma-block zerg build (might last same time - 15 secs), not gonna happen with no CP, was funny to watch you try.

People were using Hulking with Black Rose before to do that on Redguards, dunno if it got nerfed or went out of fashion.

Lumsdenml

Survived Sora's Emp.... now the map looks pretty good as the server goes down... Nice and red...

gabriebe

I am doing a health regen tank sorc build, it's kind of meh to be honest but I enjoy trying different things. I already have a permablock build on my vet DK and it works pretty well, thanks for your concerns.

Oh but it works wonders when I drop a negate on the 20 AA vamp drain spamming templars though...

raviour

LoL AA. Valor is the worst tactician and lead I ever met, total power tripping weirdo too, inspired me to make a guild called LFG...

@gabriebe You and Alwreck were the most fun to fight. Shame the scrub zerg kept showing up though.

*note - nice players in AA but just LoL I seen better PuGs run by total newbies.

It got nerfed.

Redguard resource return (and helping hands+battle roar return) used to be based off of max stat. Now it's a static amount, so stacking max stam to maintain permablock return via nonregen sources is way less effective.

Health regen tanking in Kyne got signifcantly worse with the change to make defile apply to health regen. It's still possible, but man it used to be amazing.

It is usually sad when I have a character vet out and it graduates out of Kyne... but for my magsorc yesterday, it was a happy occasion. I am truly not a fan of the class...

Doesn't matter what you play. All you folks in ep do anymore is faction stack every night. You are every bit as bad if not more so then AD any more. Reciprocation forth coming. It's about to get a little nasty in kyne.
