Playstation: NA and EU (Gray Host) - This Must Be The Place...

Seems rather chicken stuff AD calling in their EU guilds in a desperate attempt to get ahead in the morning.
Oh well, it will be all taken back in the afternoon.

Takes-No-Prisoner

I've seen EP morning cap a lot this campaign.

Haven't bothered logging into Cyro. Just been doin' BGs for style drops.

Huh? we can barely get anyone on between 6:00 and 10:00 am EST.
Now if you mean 3:00 AM EST, well those never went to bed. lol

Or maybe it's just the same thing that's been going on for years where EP/DC play on AD during the day and then switch back at night, but yeah let's just go with the conspiracy theory excuse

TequilaFire

Well then they are using a lot of foreign names as cover! lol

It's true, especially on the weekends. I swear, some guildies I run with are robots, I am not one of these robots.

Of course they are, everyone knows that the ladies love those sexy foreign names. That's why I don't get any girls

So you're saying EP is full of Terminators?

Welp

Better get back to working on my EP toon then. I love T2/T1.

I'm glad to see a consecutive campaign streak by EP...

with such a large lead, as what would recently happen with AD - seems some EP folks are heading to other maps or IC when I get on at night...

DC had their 18 month run or so years ago.. we just left the AD domination of the map for the last year - let EP rule for a few more months...

on a much smaller level though - how the map looks, and, who's in "charge" varies greatly depending on the time of day someone might normally play...

I love logging in to see the eval scores all between 70 to 90 for all three alliances...

I'm really looking forward to the upcoming IC event...i spent most of my tel var trying to get the last 2 xivkyn polymorphs (rngeezus hates me )...so, i need to go do some fighting and farming...

zos listed some interesting stats for the midyear mayhem event:

one of the cooler assignments i had working for uncle sam was as an admin/logistics support person for the korean school at the defense language institute in monterey...

i remember hearing a saying which was popular:
짚신도 짝이 있다

Literal: “Even the straw shoe has a mate.”
Meaning: “There’s someone out there for everyone.”

despite my love for being alone, i do understand the importance of social connections and affections...i always thought that idea of there being someone for everyone was super cool

Takes-No-Prisoner

You'd think Chalman was the deadliest Keep. Surprised? Kinda? It was Aleswell.

TequilaFire

I bet it was a close as I spend more time defending/taking Chalman and BRK.
And deadliest for whom? Defender or Attacker?

Takes-No-Prisoner

Depends on who is on

geonsocal

they probably just counted number of kills...

I love it when zos throws some random pvp stats at us...really wish they'd do it more often...

I'd love to know what class is most popular, which race kills the most players during a specific campaign...

that's interesting that deadra are destroyed, not killed...makes sense, never really thought about it that much before...back to oblivion you go...

To be reborn maybe a thousand years later returning from the void.

I was wondering, what deadra? dolmens, pets? Nope IC...duh...

geonsocal

was gonna head in to cyrodiil last night, but, the campaign score is kind of turning me off a bit right now...

i keep hoping for some kind of IC anniversary event announcement to motivate me to head back to imperial city...

ended up taking my mag sorc into battlegrounds for a while...got mixed results...just like snipe - mage's fury works a little too well there...

haven't played the character in a while...ran into some sustain issues, particularly with stamina and break-free...i do have a whole lot of champion points invested in reducing the cost of break free - but, no cp combined with not using streak cost me getting stuck and killed a few times...

in cyrodiil i use a snb and destro set up ...i use pots for health... lots of times i can switch to SnB and fight up close in melee's or single combat...man, that just wasn't working for me in battlegrounds, had to switch to destro/resto...

still had fun, although i can see how deathmatch can get a little repetitive after a while...

kind of hitting the point where i'm a little burnt on questing, crafting, farming, and, to some extent even fighting...

i've left one of my tanks by an undaunted enclave - it may be time to do a little pugging for some certain gear...i tried chest farming in blackheart haven, after 20 minutes - i just couldn't do it anymore...i remember trying it years ago with burning spellweave in coa1...i severely lack in patience at times...probably just easier to buy and trade with groupmates - or, get lucky and find it myself...

i'll check the eval scores and pitch in when i can for whichever alliance might be undermanned at the time...i don't mind from time to time providing myself as a target and AP resource to other players...

happy trails and tall tales...

TequilaFire

I use the stamina version of immovable pots in a no cp situation even on a magic character to help break free with the extra stam boost.

Speed/Immovable/Stam:
Blessed Thistle
Columbine
Namira's Rot

or

Health/Stamina/Immovable
Columbine
Namira's Rot
Mountain Flower

Side benefit - Increases the campaign score for EP! lol
(Just kidding!)

Heh I didn't even know there was an update today. My interest in this game is now almost non-existent but I'm thinking about coming back in, maybe.

it hasn't been a very interesting campaign...EP is up by about 12k with a day or so left in the campaign...

happy for the pact folks - but, a little bummed we had such a non-competitive campaign...

i've started losing track of all the different item sets being introduced all the time...i don't really do DLC dungeons - so, not that interested right now in the new dungeon content...heck - i'm still farming base game sets...

as far as pvp stuff - keep defense scoring is changing (smaller AP rewards for defenses typically)...they've cut down the time on defile to around 4 seconds, and, cut the time down for snares...

i've been dungeon pugging for gear the last week - actually having fun doing some tanking...

Edit: here's the natch pote stuff:

gonna pick up spiderman in early september (may finally move to the ps4 pro and buy a bundle )...probably will get in on fallout 76 in november...

I'm still on the fence on red dead redemption 2 in october...never played the first one - but, just checking out the gameplay vids and the game looks amazing...

right now still playing fortnite...I've (actually I should say my godson mostly) been able to compete every weekly challenge so far except for the 5 haunted hills kills...

I keep dying miserable deaths every time I land there

one of the reasons I want to get in early on the fallout 76 game - being a noob (or at least playing like one ) sucks...

a hard lesson I learned with eso pvp...

TequilaFire

Maybe I have played this game too long but today's update is just meh.
Meta just switching to bleed builds now, I don't have the energy to farm dungeons again.

thankfully (?) I'm normally a patch or three behind whatever the meta at the moment might be...

I'm on MGS5 atm. I'll also have to revisit the Dark Souls remaster.

Honestly, I'm just waiting for update 20. I've got no interest in the new DLC. Update 20 is going to be the decider on whether I keep playing ESO or uninstall it. After seeing the plans for balance changes I'm not very confident at all for the future of this game. They've totally lost the plot.

my EP Stamplar is lv21 as of this morning

TBF this update mostly encompasses WW changes. So unless you're interested in that or the dungeons, I can see why you'd not be interested in it.

WW tho, feels really great with the improvements made to it.

Hey @Koolio How are the WW changes for PvP? I personally like the new way Devour works. I was farming Vile Lab Zombies last night and Devour is much better then it was before.

I'm excited for the new campaign

haven't had a chance yet to werewolf out and check out the new changes...

finally finished farming netches touch in darkshade caverns...took me 14 runs to get what I needed - or course I have enough automaton and truth gear to outfit just about every character i have...

gonna go through cyrpt of hearts to get a light ilambris monster piece...

once that is done - I'll have my very own lightning character finally...I'll start out with ilambris, netches touch and thunderbug, do some fighting and see what adjustments I need to make...

next up I need to go farm a bone pirate bow and 2 handed weapon...I'm guessing that'll take about 8 runs or so (I actually got 3 netches touch bows from farming in darkshade )...we'll see...I'll bring plenty of gold (20k per piece) to see if I can buy them...

I love trying out new gear and builds in cyro

on top of switching characters all the time, changing character builds definitely helps keep me interested in the game...

Your lightning sets don't actually synergize. Besides having Lightning damage.

hmmmmm, gosh darn it....you're right...

Netch's Touch Set
(2 items) Adds 833 Spell Critical
(3 items) Adds 1096 Max Magicka
(4 items) Adds 124 Spell Damage
(5 items) Adds 400 Spell Damage to your Shock Damage abilities.

okay, i'm keeping the stupid netch's touch cuz i just spent a week getting it, and, the last six months thinking about it...

was planning on going with:
SnB: encase, hardened ward, lightening flood, bound aegis (or boundless storm), crystal frags and overload

overload: power surge, hardened ward, lightening flood, bound aegis (or boundless storm), mage's wrath

destro: power surge, hardened ward, haunting curse, bound aegis (or boundless storm), mage's wrath and eye of the storm

any thoughts on what monster piece or complimentary "electric" type set to mix in with that?

sad to say - efficiency is not necessarily my primary focus - synergizing some cool animations is pretty high up though on my list

Edit: oh man, didn't think this too well through - just noticed my eye of the storm is actually magic damage not shock damage

ugh, it gets worse - all my destruction staff abilities do magic damage, not shock damage...i think i'm gonna cry...i'd be much better off staying in julianos and spinners
