congrats to PC NA Trueflame players (come inside)

pcar944

you guys have managed to stay off the bridge fighting/farming for almost an entire week!

seen all 3 alliances play the map and make good/bad choices!

very refreshing, and nice to see this for a change.

still a lot of potatoing between Ash/Aleswell/Chalman/Alessia, but over all was a great week. the scores are close, with leaders changing, and we are at a half way mark!

with that said, maybe a touch of criticism?

we all know all factions zerg. we all also know that at certain points in time of the day, ALL factions get super zergy. but this is still a AvAvA not AAvA or AvAA. there are constant claims that there is no green/orange/purple, but then it seems like it is. and I have seen zone chats in all 3 factions claim it the second they get pushed, and nobody likes that.

so can we please, as players regardless of alliance, understand that, and understand that if 1 faction gets SUPER zergy, once they are done with wherever they are going, they will come after you as well, but at that point, the other alliance won't be there to help you because they will be trying to get their homekeeps back (and probably fail)

it was nice to see that DC/AD saw the leader and kinda went after EP to close the score gap, and this should be happening a lot more often regardless who is in the lead. But I think that this should be going all 3 ways. its sad to see EP/DC get pushed by AD (while AD is in the lead) and yet DC/EP still roll towards Aleswell/Chalman instead of taking points from the leader. and the other ways around.

just some thoughts. I know a lot of people don't care about the map and only run around farming AP. that's fine. they can take stress off other points on map/ but I think playing map is fine, since that is literally all we can do in this form of PvP design.

ZoS should consider adding more points on the map, there are so many areas simply wasted with nothing on them, could easily spread out population that way.

welp I agree when I had the chance to play I saw less bridge potato. but that morning ad wall is rough at brk rofl.

Celas_Dranacea

Yeah I think all 3 sides are a bit bruised and battered after a really awesome and hard fought week. Agreed - it makes sense to try and keep pressure on whichever is the zergiest faction in a given moment, or who is in the lead.

Very cool campaign so far

My small man group deliberately chose to antagonize EP all weekend to help close the score gap. It was a pleasant surprise to see less bridge chaos but it was still there in small doses.

ItsMeToo

We need more bridge fights. LOL

And we did our job. I'd rather have 24 EP on us than back on the front against DC at bleaks/ales/drag.

the one time I take a breather and the map changes for the better..

fastolfv_ESO

been getting some great guild v guild fights at brindle all week, Ad pushes hard to retake that sucker now

Delimber

Much to my surprise I suffered no lag in Cyrodiil lol.

Sure, EP and DC yoyo'd between Aleswell and Chal for a few hours one night with most of the fighting being in the open. Not at a keep, a resource or that ******* gate lol.

Was a good time.

This is like talking about a pitcher's perfect game.

lol well I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed good changes so far, lets keep it up

I know you guys run your raids and groups etc and you do what you have to do

Ghost-Shot

Time for a bridge farm!

I was a bit annoyed last night because yeah DC had a large A-team out until very late while AD/EP had what seemed to be smaller core groups and a few pug herds (like the one I was running) and we were just getting clobbered.

For a second I was like, this is unfair, then I remembered that this is how campaigns are always won.

I fluctuate with my level of campaign zealotry and I've definitely hit a peak again recently, like getting super invested - but when *** like that happens you just gotta remember it's a game and there's a limit to how invested you can get when stuff like that is out of your control and you have things like a "family" going on etc.

oh no probs, I have 2 alts to lvl

And of course, AD is insufferable about it. This is why nobody wants to see you win.

Aww come on Minalan - you know it's true each alliance has flipped lead positions during this campaign - a person from any one of the factions could have come to the forums to celebrate and it happened to be NML

AD has clawed its way back from a couple of bad point deficits and I don't blame NML for celebrating a little bit about the big effort that he and many others has been putting in.

I don't think the intention in any way was to "rub it in" or anything - it can seem like that on a forum where players of all factions are seeing what is posted but I don't believe the intention is gloating - it's not like we've been dominating the entire campaign or have won the last three campaigns ... In fact at this very moment we're in 2nd place.

You know I think you're a cool guy, just my two cents on that one.

Telel

Humble khajiit must offer a counterpoint for the issue involving everyone and their stuffed bantam Guar going to one spot. At least as far as the Dumbminion goes.

Right now there is a lack of consistent leaders willing to take on any interested players, and give them a proper education in the fine art of horrifically murdering elves, and elf like humans. This means that sometimes you'll see maybe one group that likes winning doing its best to push against dozens of opponents, and the rest of the faction lurching along in their wake.

You'll also have groups of elfish sorts doing things that actively hurt their

This one thought it was because so many were jealous of how well humble and terrible players do when being double teamed by those who keep saying they're better than the worst player in the game.

But then Telel thinks many things wrong people think are silly. Or at least they tell this one that is true so often that they know better not to argue.

Mostly as it would be impolite, and might lead to rumors of Khajiit being good at the game. Such atrocious accusations yes?

Anyone who comes to the bridge gets a free port back to any keep of their choosing! Merry Christmas!

hi @Telel that was a fun evening last night chasing you guys around

this campaign has been so close and everyone has taken the lead, it feels so good and people should feel good about how they have done

hope its like this all the way to the end

Not sure if serious or not, but if you are, they seem to be fairly balanced currently. Each faction has a sizeable pug army with 2-3 organized groups. At least from what I've seen the past couple weeks.

Draxys

There's definitely been bridge fights lol. But we did have a couple decent fights in Bruma last week, fun times.

Assuming you're EU and are going to be playing in that time zone. i don't know if any are lower pop during NA prime time.

A guild has been setup to educate the new players on the basics, needs plenty of advertisement. Tell them to pm @stealthyevil

Right now TKG is trying emp, first we lost Roe and now Alessia, people wants to turtle up at BRK but i just left, tired of having 6 defending a keep against 15-25

Celas_Dranacea

We have been in this position before during this campaign. It happens basically like clockwork during days when a 2 or more regular AD leaders are not able to log on and run a group. We just don't have the coverage right now to keep it going 24/7. That said when we do get our main groups on we do very well.

I have a wife and kid so unfortunately going balls to the wall every day doesn't quite work for me - but I'm just a regular Joe that realized sometimes it doesn't make sense to wait around for the regular leaders to start a group - we need more folks to take initiative and start groups of on their own.

Anyhow keep it up guys - it seems pretty clear that no one faction is gonna run away with this campaign.

I had a day off

@Iyas realm? I'm playing on EP right now, but it feels like all 3 factions are about the same power wise at the moment

depending on time you play - you might run into enemy zerg
