At least 8 hours it took AD to take 1 keep

I'm so done with this faction

Bye.

Was there anyone online?

Were there any organised groups running?

Were your opponents pop locked and you with 1 bar?

Are most of the AD players in your campaign from the same time zone and opponents from other time zones?

It happens often enough that one faction night caps the whole map (or at least the emp ring), and it takes until late afternoon when people get home from school and work for keeps to be taken back.

There was a time (a year and a half ago) on NA/PC in Azuras where jokes were made about EP, who would hold the entire map from about 3am to 3pm (eastern time) every day. Some people would call them drop-outs and unemployed. It was pretty funny at the time, though the mods got upset. I believe that it was just a european and an oceanic guild online when all of AD in that campaign happened to be north american.

I would be interested in the details. What platform and what happened?

Wasn't it just IR "night capping" at like midnight PST when all the AD/DC guilds went to farm other servers and not actually an oceanic crew? Or did you mean havoc after that?

edit: nvm, had to be havoc, IR was gone by the time Azura's was more popular than thornblade

In details, its AD that all you need to know

I feel you'r pain.Don't know how many times i've been in a siege for over an hour with 20/20 sieges, multiple breaches but AD doesnt have the balls to push in. When ADs see oil over the breach there are 2 possible scenarios, not even try to breach or run to the breach and then stop and take a good long shower under. I know by having a good oranized group of ppl who know their stuff will bypass that problem, but the thing is there aren't any more groups like that, only DC still runs ball groups. So yea, I i can do is watch my fellow AD burn, run, cower in fear and ultimately wipe...

The fight on the bridge has been going on for years, and it still hasn't flipped.

What server? The AD on TF have 1 or two organized groups of players. And from my experience all of the factions pugs like to stand at the breach in the range of the oils while they ponder their life choices.

What is the point of your thread? Just to say you are quitting AD from some platform on some server somewhere because something happened to some keep that AD could not take from some other faction?
Cool, good topic!

Roechacca

So you come here and cry about your faction. Why didn't you do something and lead a group? You expect everyone to do it for you don't ya. You're just going to be a sore eye on any faction you hop to. You should just stay AD because your attitude is crap.

NACtron

Honestly you could replace the word "AD" in this title with EP or DC and it would have undoubtedly fit some server somewhere in the last 24 hours.

Of course they do. For good reason. An unorganized mob/herd/crowd is less intelligent than an individual. This is also why an outnumbered fights vs randoms may look impressive, but rarely actually is.

Without direct leadership, communication, familiarity, and a plan, people rely on vague cues to coordinate. This inaccurate and lumbering.

AD sometimes does an amazing disappearing act that David Copperfield would like to learn, LOL

I have seen pop locked AD nothing going on the map DC/EP attack something and your lucky if 15 AD show up, have no clue where the rest of AD is check the IC AD does not own it, it is a mystery of Cyrodill.

Then some days AD will have 2 or 3 bars population and 40 AD will show up some where to defend a keep or take a resource, I have only played AD since day one still can't figure it out..LOL

You can still call them unemployed; it's not technically breaking forum rules unless you actually pinpoint them by name and are serious about it lol.

Yea on TF. Yea AD has a couple of organized groups but they are most of the time on Bleakers farming. You can definitely feel when organized group comes and pushes the breach, that is most of the time a well defended keep is taken. I always solo so cant do much to change it, even though many times i tried to triger the push in just to go up the stairs see im all alone and go back out (magplar+elusive mist ftw).

I'm on PC NA and I can't help but just laugh when I run into these giant ball groups of 3 raids that get smashed by like 20 DC pugs. It's too comical how incompetent most of them are, honestly. I know there are some good players on AD, but they are HEAVILY outnumbered by the heal bots and malubeth reactive templars.

So 3 raids of AD. Let's do the math on that 3 *24= 72. So 72 AD heavy armor Templars all balled up together getting smashed by 20 ungrouped DC players while they are spamming heals.I laugh at that too, because it's about the most unreal thing I've read on the forums.

Think this is a EU post guys (at least the OP is EU according to tag) not saying its an issue on NA.
