    hmmmm, I wonder if we can still queue a character for cyrodiil, log off with them, log in to another character to do stuff, and just check back later on the original character?

    I've already started making plans for what to do when I'm waiting for the queue...I have a whole chest of survey mats that I need to harvest...

    I actually stopped farming crafting nodes altogether once I finished leveling jewelry crafting...

    I farmed pretty regularly for a couple of years, thankfully I don't really need anymore mats at the moment...

    it feels good now to ride past nodes, with little interest...

    why, yes they did (thanks for reminding me :#), and, for the last couple of years, i've compulsively farmed every single node in sight - I'm getting better now...

    You left out the part where DC shows up behind us every time we try to take our scrolls back.
    We had four walls down at Faregyle but both alliances zerging was a little too much.
    Campaign will go to hell when Mayhem starts today.

    And the trolling of a scroll by an AD scum dressed as EP...pathetic...

    Are you talking about how Red got their scroll back from Fare and then instead of taking it home tried to run and grab the one at BB too and ended up losing it?

    yep..I'm in the same guild with the person that did this, people were trying to communicate with this person in guild chat with no response...only conclusion, an AD spy...dun dun dun....

    Edit: not to mention there were a few people in zone chat that recognized this player from AD...

    For every stupid person on your end we have a stupid person like Coca telling people to death spawn at Sej while we are holding 2 of reds scrolls. I think the stupidity goes both ways, us regulars should just laugh at it when it occurs and move on.

    Agreed, this stuff doesn't bother me, I just don't understand why other people enjoy doing this kind of thing. I like the epic battles for keeps, fighting for scrolls, strategic planning, etc...

    I like competition, and I want all teams to be on even ground and may the best man/woman/alliance win. Sportsmanship no longer exists in PvP.

    Like the guilds that run in the off hours for the US and destroy everything when nobody is on. I don't think they're doing anything wrong at all, I just don't understand why they think that's fun when there's almost no resistance.

    yeah, I remember those callouts last night for AD to "block" EP at alessia and sejanus...

    truth is - there are some not very deep thinkers participating in zone chat at times :p

    while, there are most definitely some other folks whom having the scoring stuff worked out exceptionally well...

    Which is silly, 95% of the time its a random EP zerg hitting Sej/Aless while the actual siege community and crowns from Red do the tried and true -

    Zerg Crops, Cross Bridge, back cap yellow fort.

    man, snipe spammers wet dream out there right now...

    unfortunately I'm on my light armor wearing magplar, so, I'm on the receiving end of that snipe/lag mess...

    seen a few glitches today: the invisible postern wall (with the door standing by itself), the "everyone else is frozen but me" glitch, stuck in combat and can't mount, and, my favorite - hear one arrow, fall down dead with 4 or 5 sniped on your recap...

    on positive note though - it is freaking raining AP...

    been spending a bunch this year collecting monster sets, so, definitely need to build up some AP in the bank again...

    hope everyone is having fun out there...

    Impossible to get in because I don't have 1 hour to wait - crazy how they manage this event, it should never start midway through a campaign.

    I'm basically locked out of participating in the last 5 days of the campaign now after having worked hard the whole month.

    After reading the forums yesterday about the performance issues in Cyrodiil, I thought yesterday's PvP session would be a disaster.

    Long queue, no doubt, I started at 320th place in line. But when I finally got into Vivec (home campaign), I had no issues for about 3 hours, was pleasantly surprised. Sure it was laggy at times but no blue screens of death or disconnects.

    I hope others had the same luck.

    For the record, I just made A'Diere or whatever the servers name is, my guest campaign and waited out the queue for Vivec there. The A'Diere servere (or however it's spelled) is a good server to tide you over. All 3 alliances were full and actually I enjoyed PvPing on that server.

    Can you complete the Mayhem quest on that one?

    Good question, not sure to be honest, but I was getting credit towards my daily quests, like kill 20 sorcerers or whatever. So my guess would be yes.

    Edit: and to add I definitely think you can do Midyear Mayhem on D'Albei (found the server name), because they opened this campaign just for Midyear Mayhem.

    I just read your queue took an hour or more, that sucks (that's if you waited it out, it took about 45 mins for me). You won't have that problem on D'Albei. Also it was active, people forming groups and everything. So I think a lot of us Vivec peeps are going to that server while waiting in the queue.

    @geonsocal you know what I really think it is? I've played in a small number of campaigns (I mean less than 4), where the campaigns were competitive. No funny business and all 3 factions for the most part were still in it until the very end. One of those campaigns was so close between EP and AD, it ended in the middle of the night and I couldn't wait to find out who won the next day.

    Those campaigns were so much fun, it's like crack. I want more of that lol...

    the achievements don't specify a specific campaign (guest or home)...

    it's been a while, but, I need to dip my toes back in to IC and battlegrounds...

    generally I just really enjoy the "open" (spread out nature of the keeps), and, I especially like moving around at my own pace...

    battlegrounds, and at times IC, require you to really pick up the pace and go along with a team...

    nice...a lot of my characters have spent most of their time in cyro, so, the psijic skill line quests have been a good opportunity to get them out on to other maps...

    I was parking different characters in traitor's vault to farm the wardrobe room - but, I just can't take going around that room one more time...

    Part II - Cropsford

    Having already captured Bruma, I only had two more towns left. Next on the list was Cropsford. This town has been controlled by the Ebonheart Pact for quite some time. Pact activity has recently been higher than normal so this could be tricky. Current map position, we had Alessia but it was under attack. Drakelowe was being attacked too. Sejanus was currently occupied by Reds. So yeah, Pact activity was high.

    I headed east from Faregyl and took the middle bridge towards Cropsford. Those poor villagers have labored under the Pact whip for long enough. It's time they labored under our whip! With Drakelowe being taken while I was on my way, the situation at Cropsford was going to be a bit more tricky. As I approached, I headed towards the unguarded flag first. There's a goblin nearby so I had to avoid him too. As I watched from the nearby shack, soon enough the Pact horde showed up on their way to the west. I sent a message to our people that our home castles would soon be under attack and I waited for the Pact army to move out. If they do attack Faregyl, this is one of the main reinforcement areas for the reds. Capturing this village would be a strategic advantage for our forces in the south. As I watched the slowest Pact rider in history make his way over the horizon, it was time to strike. I went to the flag and started tearing down the Pact banner and replacing it with the superior Altmer... I mean Dominion, banner. Soon enough the town rebelled against Pact rule and was no longer a place for their forces to respawn. There was still work to do though.

    I looked to the nearby merchant flag and noticed it was also being turned towards the AD. Ah, a fellow soldier! I went to check on him and it's a good thing I showed up. This fellow was being pressed hard by a beastly lizardman. I turned the lights off on him with Total Dark followed quickly by a blast from my lightning staff to stun him. I threw out a quick heal for my Dominion ally and the two of us made short work of the swamp walker. As his guts spilled to the ground, the stench was overpowering. And I thought they smelled bad on the outside! Two flags down.

    The two of us moved onto the final flag. Several AOE's plus some spear work and the Pact lackeys were taken care of. This is where it gets dangerous as the alarm has gone out to the Pact that their village was under attack and their "soldiers" were being killed by the mighty Dominion duo at Cropsford. The last flag was replaced and the town was placed under the yoke of Aldmeri rule... I mean the town was liberated for the Dominion.

    I mounted up and took off before the red army could arrive in force.

    That's two.
