SG (ShadowGrabber PugGuild) has improved from being 100% zone pug wrangler group but they have a lot of growing to do as a guild.TF needs more decent sized 16-24 man EP and AD groups right now period. There is a plethora of large DC guilds out there running during primetime and beyond. Hopefully DK can encourage more AD guilds to lead in TF.
TF PrimeTime status
For the most part DC guilds try and avoid stacking with each other. One of the main reasons is that the DC guilds really just dislike each other. BoD and SG pretty much hate each other. DC still has animosity towards VE when we re-rolled AD to help balance out TF. AK has less of the drama than the other guilds as they took a long break and have recently come back.
To sum up DC, I would say, BoD and AK are the core of DC. VE is the strength of DC. SG try's to rally all the DC players to wherever they are going.

AD does have Ruin Gaming, the problem is they stack all their raids in the same spot. They have the potential to have 3 16-24 man raids running. Ruin Gaming doesn't have established players or a core of players that stand out so it's harder to recognize them.
To sum up AD, I would say, Dk & DD are the core of AD, Fantasia is the Strength of AD and Ruin Gaming is the faction rally group.

With EP it's a little different. PR and SoTP are a lot like the old Slywolf Pact. They like to hit keeps that aren't defended and would rather defend a keep than attack one that has a defense. PM is a lot like this as well but they will attack a keep once they have rallied enough zone EP to tag along.
To sum up EP, I would say, the core of EP is Pact Militia & Invictus. The Strength of EP is Haxus. The faction rally is also Pact Militia.

Some of the most if not best competitive guilds can be found during other prime times. Oceanic and Japanese guilds have a huge impact on the campaign regardless of what American players think (they tend to think they are the only ones that matter - newsflash, they don't). The server just happens to be in the NA but its a 24/7 game and server so there are several prime times and the NA prime time is just one of several.

To be clear, I am definitely not condoning personal threats or harassment. But in sports, you get in each other's faces, you taunt, you goad. There are bumps, shoves, pushes, glares, etc.. Intimidation is gameplay. While online gaming lacks the physical side, there is a psychological game that isn't nice. I don't practice it, aside from some silly emotes, but I get it.
As far as PVP forums go, this one is *extremely* mild.
I understand that you're okay with poor server performance when an emp is down to one or two keeps during prime time, but perhaps you can understand why others might be a bit surly about it? I mean, yeah, we can go do something else, but to me that's akin to giving up which is, generally, an outcome worse than dealing with poor playing conditions. I would prefer to grind through it and get the job done, surly or not.

As for strong emp groups, well that's fine by me. <snip>
That's not the point. The point is server performance. Even when the group I'm playing with has emp and we're excited about the AP and the dozens of opponents melting around us, we're also a bit sad because we're playing a slide show, sometimes we can't swap bars and we're dealing with a variety of server performance issues like crashes. At the end of the day, we all want decent gameplay which is impossible when the server is stressed.
So I don't mind a formidable emp group as an opponent. But I do mind server performance being far worse than usual for the entirety of prime time.
That's why I asked if you were joking. In general, a strong emp group means a very very meh playing experience for most players except those directly benefiting from the emp run -- like those at BRK. I'm sure most AD and DC were not enjoying the experience as much, nor were the EP who weren't at BRK.
As you were at BRK, I'm not surprised it was great fun for you, which is why I truly wondered if your post was wry.
I wish ZOS would change the depose requirements to address this.

As PVP evolved over the years and especially on competitive campaigns. The depose process has always, in most cases, meant that the strongest side looses everything. The tactic of pressuring the last keep while taking all of there home keeps and scrolls means they are weaker. Even if they choose to stack their entire faction in one place. The issue we always seem to have is deciding who's going to get what. This always reminds me of that time right after WW2 when the Allies began fighting over Germany.
If a particular faction is taking advantage of off peak times to crown emp the other two factions should always cooperate to remove that power from them as quickly as possible. Its pretty simple actually. It just takes some unspoken ideas from the leaders of the factions.

AD does have Ruin Gaming, the problem is they stack all their raids in the same spot. They have the potential to have 3 16-24 man raids running. Ruin Gaming doesn't have established players or a core of players that stand out so it's harder to recognize them.
To sum up AD, I would say, Dk & DD are the core of AD, Fantasia is the Strength of AD and Ruin Gaming is the faction rally group.

With EP it's a little different. PR and SoTP are a lot like the old Slywolf Pact. They like to hit keeps that aren't defended and would rather defend a keep than attack one that has a defense. PM is a lot like this as well but they will attack a keep once they have rallied enough zone EP to tag along.
To sum up EP, I would say, the core of EP is Pact Militia & Invictus. The Strength of EP is Haxus. The faction rally is also Pact Militia.

TL:DR
To sum up DC, I would say, BoD & AK are the core of DC. VE is the strength of DC. SG try's to rally all the DC players to wherever they are going.

Some of the most if not best competitive guilds can be found during other prime times. Oceanic and Japanese guilds have a huge impact on the campaign regardless of what American players think (they tend to think they are the only ones that matter - newsflash, they don't). The server just happens to be in the NA but its a 24/7 game and server so there are several prime times and the NA prime time is just one of several.
The Kelly Gang (8-16)
Wormhole (16-24)
Vivace (8-16)
Queens RAM (16-24)
... and more
No offense but having played against the Oceanic guilds quite a few times I can't say that I've ever been impressed by their play. Granted I'll have a ping advantage every time, but most fights generally aren't close.
No offense but we weren't impressed with your performance either.
Funny considering you don't know me.
The oceanic guilds mentioned simply just don't match up with the top NA primetime guilds.
There was a time I played with one of the best NA prime time guilds. And I don't wanna talk down to them. Because the leader and players were really good. But if you think that all the Oceanic guilds mentioned don't match up, then you are sorely mistaken. And I don't need to know you. I just know your statement is wrong.

I "believe" most people are testing out the PTS with battlegrounds, new sets, warden skills, Theory crafting the next patch etc. It's typical when new releases come out Cyro dies down for awhile then will pick up in a few weeks. The first few weeks in June Cryo will be dead when all of the new updates are released.IM Sure SG Destroye your dk at ash as a welcome.
SG (ShadowGrabber PugGuild) has improved from being 100% zone pug wrangler group but they have a lot of growing to do as a guild.TF needs more decent sized 16-24 man EP and AD groups right now period. There is a plethora of large DC guilds out there running during primetime and beyond. Hopefully DK can encourage more AD guilds to lead in TF.
TF PrimeTime status
For the most part DC guilds try and avoid stacking with each other. One of the main reasons is that the DC guilds really just dislike each other. BoD and SG pretty much hate each other. DC still has animosity towards VE when we re-rolled AD to help balance out TF. AK has less of the drama than the other guilds as they took a long break and have recently come back.
To sum up DC, I would say, BoD and AK are the core of DC. VE is the strength of DC. SG try's to rally all the DC players to wherever they are going.

It's nice that was so long ago. Last time I came across a TKG raid I farmed them, and they're the best of the ones mentioned.
TKG is the only Oceanic crew I know with a decent core, set up and lead. If there are others of similar caliber I know them not.

Other than Venatus when they run TKG is easily the best that I've seen. And they're not horrible... but I can't wipe a VE, haxus, invictus, k-hole group repeatedly over and over leaving one or two alive every time to res so we can do it again.

It's funny cause I've never heard of you. And though I think highly of the groups you mentioned, I cannot think of any other group that might be challenging. At least not one that would encounter an Oceanic crew. You'd think I'd remember. If you claim to be all that. But nope. Never heard of you.

I highly doubt the original user of that account and it's current user are one and the same.
Since we're talking Oceanic crews, who do you run with? I can't rly connect your forum handle to anyone atm, damn phone browsers.

You should have received an auto invite to PM the second you created your EP toon. I recommend check your social settings.

Lol, what... hang on. EP has some sort of automatic PM guild invite thing going? You may have to explain that one a little more detail!
