Azuras Star (PC EU): Do you like how it is?

Thraben

Personally, I think there are far too many blue winning team joiners at the moment...who seem to think that a permablue map is good for everyone's fun in PvP.

Some more medium-scale red guild groups instead of the usual huge Blob would be greatly appreciated and could make the campaign interesting again.

so sorry that my damn faction has gotten more players to ride on the bonuses tho zenimax could put more effort to stop this situation

I agree a perma-colored map isnt healthy for pvp but eh.. I've seen what happened when Pact had the ''huge blob'' a couple of months ago. They would either lose the campaign to Covenant or win by a slight difference.

more blues more AP ))) but yep, i don't like then TF smurfs jump on our campaing and stuck on 1 keep ))) but i hope soon ZoS, will something do with jumpers )))

There is an AD group ( 10-15 ) with 7-8 Sorcerers that spams enclose and destru ulti staff , highest skill ( new-meta)..to improve the plight of pvp . Whisper their

Thraben

Better 7-8 sorcs spamming destro ulti than 7-8 templars who do the same

3 of the 4 yell groups who do this offer everyone a fair chance to kill them anyway.

What the yells need in Azura is a competent PUG leader, something both Reds and Blues have.

CoachPower

Lol.. Look at Azura now.

kuro-dono

to be honest, it was getting too booring when covenants breeze tru campaign after campaign into victory.

but then yeah... reds could split their aoe choo choos bit to allow semi balanced fighting.

Azura was hugly fun when Elite was around every day.

Please note, I am NOT Elite, nor do I think they even like me very much. However,
- Elite bring lots of EP pugs running in the same direction
- Lots of EP pugs brings several AD and DC guilds "to farm easy AP"

..and lots of everything means lots of constant action.....

Like Trueflame is these days
Big boss brings his AD zerg, which bring DC guilds, which brings...well, me!

Here I corrected that for you

on Azura DE don't use more than 1 TS raid, sometimes we take randoms in our group(but i have on ts only 5)... like today, but we took 5 blue keeps + 1 blue scroll))) mostly we farmed them )))

inflaburwb17_ESO

Isn't this the Red vs Green campaign?

CoachPower

It doesn't matter how much DC zergs. There will ALWAYS be much more EP.

MLRPZ

We got bored of it after a couple month. so we will swap between TF and AZ depending on TF lag

Forztr

I'm new to AZ EU and as a DC for life player my honest first impressions.

This is a snapshot of Feb 2017 and not representative of the history of the campaign. I can only write about what I've seen.

EP log on 13:00 GMT , all of them. By 14:00GMT it's pop locked for EP , they kill everything including fluffy tailed bunnies. until they hit the outer edge of the map in all directions. They do this even if the other faction doesn't have any scrolls to take.

17:00 GMT DC start to fill up numbers and retake tri-keeps, it's a struggle. A group or two , that are probably organised guild raids attack and sometimes take EP tri keeps and steal a scroll.

AD, my experiences with these guys is limited since I don't see many , but when I do it's usually an organised , 12 man blob synching up destro ultis and stacking on crown. They typically gatecrash perfectly good DC v EP seiges, or sometimes they set up a tower farm.

Late evening when the EP numbers thin out one of two things happens , first nothing the campaign fizzles out for the day or two EP or sometimes AD will push a DC keep and all the random DC players questing or chilling will form up and defend , stay formed and nightcap.

I'm very anti-nightcap but I'm even more anti-push to the gates if they don't have scrolls so yes, my name is Forztr and I have helped nightcap a map. And that's the problem that can never be solved I've done it twice because I felt EP deserved it for what they've been doing recently. They can justify the gate push as a response to a nightcap it's an unbreakable *** for tat cycle.

Conclusion, If EP continue to push to gates the campaign will die. PVPers can qq about lag, balance, rewards, and a million other things, they can blame ZOS for all the issues with PVP but from where I'm sitting the players are killing PVP just fine all by themselves.

Well observed. And it IS representative, although the blue nightcap has become somewhat rare and was replaced by the red one.

I will leave the interpretation of the observed login times and playstyle variants to the well-meaning reader's mind

No

I've been thinking of switching over to Azura but wasn't sure how the PvP population was.

How is it for solo/small gang EP groups, I am guessing with the talk of blue dominated maps there are plenty of targets?

It's so hypocritically to see, when Azura DC complain about being gate pushed no one is worry, when your alliance is pushing/nightcapping/dominating whole map.

I guess you didn't see how DC killed this campaign before by exploiting scores. I would prefer being zerged down to the gate rather then exploit scores with low pop bonus.

But I do agree with you, that it's the players who are killing PVP, but that's competitive sphere, where people would do every dirty thing to win.

When I started the thread I was complaining about the "too blue" map, but at the moment, things are reversed; you will only find suitable targets after DC players have come home from their RL jobs. And you won´t find ANY unorganized AD players at all at other places than the Bridge.

So basically it's as worthless as every other campaign

Still switching to Azura means I can go and PvP without needing to change my CP from farming mode every time.

Very sad to enter Azuras and see everything red... respect to blues and yellows for not giving up.

Decado

Azuras is pure and simple red maesive trains try Harding everything, they night cap and spent the day/evening running around in 80+ groups stomping ANYTHING that dares move, the amount of time I've been chased from 1 keep to another by 50 reds is just astonishing

Oh and don't forget if you kill a few then when the whole Zerg gets you it's teabag time because they believe they are OP

In all honestly it the Reds carry on with His frankly disgusting way of play and attitude they will eventually kill the campaign

They have literally zero shame in the way They behave they will all justify it even as it slowly kills the campaign

We all have dreams.

Sad that the blues are the least on regular times...

You guys will have to get your fellow fighters out of retirement it seems, the lion is back with a vengeance!

(not that I can PvP atm all I get is people standing still & then a login page to greet me)

Runschei

We have several EP guilds in Azura?

I think you will find if you actually played there regularly, that DC is THE most populous alliance on the server. I think your post is very baity and inciteful but most of all untrue.
