    @geonsocal Did you see in the patch notes today that “Midyear is closer than you think” this kinda has me excited.

    I did see that...very cool indeed...

    it's one of the few things in those notes that didn't freak me out or overwhelm me :)

    I don't know - at some point I imagine we'll all stop playing eso...

    no doubt when that point comes and passes I'll look back and think what a totally awesome community of people we had playing this game...

    Wow, talk about night capping! gg AD.
    Since the EU servers must be empty because they are all on NA maybe we should hop over there! lol

    grouped in cyro for the first time in a couple of years...I had a blast :)

    got my 3rd character in to the war over on the EU server...for the first time that I've seen (only the 4th night or so I've played there), there were actually other blue players out there...

    at one point we may have had close to 16 to 18 players in the group...

    faction hopping all the time in vivec has turned me off to grouping... I'd rather not be grouped up with someone one day, then doing all I can to kill them the next...

    on the EU sever all my characters are blue...

    checked the score on our vivec here, and, looks to be a close campaign so far between EP and AD with 4 days in...

    been thinking about it...once I get these last two characters on the EU server into vivec (they're both around level 5 right now), I'll probably head back onto our server and log in EP to help beat back the dominance of the dominion hordes...

    until of course I decide I really what to play one of my yellow characters and I in turn become one of the dreaded dominion horde...

    i'll tell you though, once you log in and start playing - even if your faction is dominating the campaign, once someone starts trying to bum rush you and hack you to death with a battle-axe, starts trying to snipe you to death from stealth, or, decides the keep/castle you are inside would look much better with their banners hanging on the outside of the walls...everything else fades into the background - and, you're simply fighting in that moment...

    just ran in to another emp over there in EU land...may have been the same one as before, cuz this one was a stam warden too...

    stood out to me cuz they hit me with a 19.5k dawnbreaker...and, that wasn't like both parts of the damage together - that was the initial damage in the ability...the subterranean assault that hit me for 9.8k damage immediately afterward killed me before I could take anymore damage...

    Edit: yes, emperors are very strong, as you may have guessed though with my no cp, badly geared characters - I'm rocking 10k physical and spell resistances on these new toons...

    zero...

    Edit: I'll tell you loki, dealing with an emp on an empty map is a real challenge...

    the red and yellow emps here have been really hard to kill, even with 6 or 7 players attacking...

    only once out of the last week have I been able to make it past glademist...most of the time with just rayles or warden in our hands...

    hopefully on the weekend the map will.look a little different...

    so I'm not really going crazy...

    last night got mauled by a red stam warden emp...

    tonight, same freaking death recap from the yellow emp...I poop you not...

    to make matters crazier - yellow emp is running with another stam warden...wtf is up with all these stam wardens here...

    I'd say more but, I too was playing a stam warden, although at level 10, with no cp, or matching gear - we're not exactly playing the same builds :)

    We have a lot of wardens on EU at the moment (as someone who has just levelled up a magic and a stamina version but doesn't play either of them very well!). I keep trying to dabble on NA as well, I have 2 PVP characters (various classes between level 10 and cp 380) in each alliance to help me decide which alliance I want to get behind. There are some huge differences between NA and EU but I keep seeing a lot of familiar names on NA! Had a couple of moments when I've run past someone and recognised the name and we both stop as if we're thinking 'I know you don't i' :)

    Dang Geonsocal! Going to Europe was supposed to be a once in a lifetime time thing. Looks like you got hooked. Lol! Maybe I should go back there too? Facing the Emp on a level 10 toon though. Erhm...nah. Not my cup o tea.

    Im pretty sure that’s just because they brought all the events to PTS to test at once, not because they’re going to do another MIDYEAR mayhem :tongue:

    the map might just look like that during the time I'm getting on - I don't think DC is that incredibly far back on the scoreboard...

    it'll be interesting to play on the weekend to see how it looks...

    the characters themselves are performing pretty okay considering their lack of gear, cp and having a bunch of skills still locked...I'm hosed though if someone catches me alone, but, if there are other players around fighting I do okay...

    it's funny, some players see my level and don't even bother attacking, other players bum rush me like crazy thinking easy AP...

    I can still block, roll dodge, shield and heal...

    my weapon/spell damage and crit is just super low...that and my resistances are also scary low...

    I'm having fun though - the thing I like most is that I feel free to be a little more social...

    it feels good to be a loyalist, even if my alliance is continually getting stomped :)

    gina kicked in on that thread and left some coy ryan gosling gif making it seem like perhaps we would get another "midyear" mayhem this year...

    that would be cool if we do :)

    Ah the days when grandover Lord was hard to get before they increased the ap for everything and before midyear mayhem lol everyone has the title these days anymore it's basically meaningless i honestly wished they would decrease AP all acrossed the board like it use to be when eso first came out on PS4 there is really nothing to work towards anymore in pvp honestly or they would make more pvp ranks that's hard to obtain

    I get it I just wished there was more to work towards in pvp after someone gets grand overlord maybe some more pvp ranks that would be cool but make them super difficult to obtain I just like having a feeling of working towards a goal is all I remember when I first reached grand overlord in early 2016 and obtained it I use to play for hours just to be one of the first few people who had the title on ad on ps4 now it carries no bragging rights with in in my opinion it's to easy to get if not more pvp ranks idk just something new to work towards in pvp would be cool

    oh man, I must really suck :p

    I ain't really to proud about reaching level 50 in pvp it's mostly cause I played the game to much back when I reached it ppl that haven't reached it yet don't suck they usually just are to be busy to play all the time so it takes someone with a busy life style to get to level 50 in pvp awhile and there is nothing wrong with that at all :smile:

    If you snipe behind a zerg, you didn't earn your stars. If you zerg surf, you didn't earn your stars. Go see Nesquik's 2 most recent videos to see the community you belong to, Jake. ZOS caters to you now. Its always funny to me 5 stars are typically the worst players in this game with the exception of a few.

    And if you run a small group that has to hide at a resource and needs the help of guards to kill groups half your size and run away anytime an equal sized group comes then you didn't earn your stars. Not pointing any fingers :D

    got a chance to play in EU vivec land yesterday...sure enough - a much different scene for blue folks on saturday...we were actually dominating the map most of the day...

    that was fun...of course, because there were lots of DC players on the map - not so many group invites...understandable...

    my mount speed is still around 3 to 5 on everyone...thank goodness for rapids :)

    finally reached level 15 on everyone and opened about 60 or so rewards for the worthy...it feels soooooooo good to be able to weapon swap...

    actually was able to put together a full set of desert rose for my mag sorc...and, have a couple pieces of impenetrable on everyone...

    gonna get everyone situated in a zone where they can use gear sets from...

    coming up with weapons and jewels is going to be a challenge...

    haven't really been missing my NA toons too much...

    Got to admit, I went back to the EU last night. Got some score at ash dumping hot oils on the red Zerg pounding on the front gate. It’s far more damage than I can produce with proper attacks Lol! I could hear the screams of agony as their flesh was being seared off the bone. Good thing they have no soul and can re spawn at their nearest wayshrine!

    The fight was raging there for quite a bit longer than I could hang out for.

    Met up with some cool dude later. He gave me some gold for bag/bank space and crafted me a set of armor! I’m gonna stick around this place.

    There was a thread recently about what do you like about eso. It’s the community. The people make it fun. Starting over is a bit odd. It sucks starting from nothing, but it’s fun at the same time. Leveling without grinding really.

    I’m gonna be a busy body for awhile to come.

    I agree, which is a big reason why I don't play in groups. The point I was trying to make is that even though you may cringe at other people's play style there are also people that cringe at yours as well and even mine too as a solo player.

    Regardless we all purchased the game with our own money and can play any way we see fit. Being bitter, salty, and judge mental of others does nothing to help the community although it can be a fun read.

    it's only been a week or so, and, I've only been exposed to the covenant side of things, but - zone chat is significantly more civil over there in EU land...

    I like how that came out: judge "mental" :)

    I don't think it's simply narcissism to view the world through our own perspectives...

    it is difficult for most/many to be able to see things from a 3rd person perspective...

    it takes a deep understanding of yourself to be able to account for your own prejudices when viewing a situation...

    not easy stuff...it comes more easily for some than others...it's taken many, many, many, many years for me to get closer to being objective about things....

    then again, I think abyss just likes messing with jake...
