Watching 2 bar EP demolish 3 bar DC was entertaining as hell last night, even more so when Chuck Norris/LoM tag-teamed Bleaks while AD pushed Chalman despite EP having no scrolls or emp. (Both Sieges failed).

Team Green can't hold back the crimson tide until everybody drops to 1 bar, even if we EP are mostly just potatoes.

I guess you guys were lucky Requiem was in BGs last night

Well that's pretty impressive. Sad to hear team green is going on when it should be team orange, considering the scoreboard. When I was on yesterday for a couple hours, most of AD was just pugging it up at the bridge/sej corridor. Seemed like my 6 person squad were the only ones pushing DC to take back our home keeps Roe, Brindle, and Nik.

Rickter

all this team green team orange makes me think Pit Daemons and Fire Drakes .. . oh wait. . .

Malibulove

Fire Drakes is confirmed for EP, that the queue system doesn't abide by that rule changes nothing.

You other 2 factions can fight over which of you wants the Jason Bourne fan club and who gets to represent Tempest Island.

Yesterday, "The leading powerhouse guild of the Aldmeri Dominion" was so desperate that they tried to recruit me (me...?) into one of their zergs. Apperently "experienced pvpers" (= 1 squishy, sleepy, solo stamblade) are now morally required to help the "newbies" (= 5 raids of zerglings) reach their ultimate goal: pvdoor and nightcap the next AD emperor of the leading powerhouse guild.

If we don't, we are selfish, we do not care about newbies, and we'd rather destroy the faction than help it.
This, in my case, is most definitely true.

Magus

Welp sounds like it was a good idea for me to battlegrounds yesterday instead of participating in that lol

Scamh

Well, you missed out on a lot of zone chat drama. I don't think they'll try to throw me an invite again.

For clarification, 5 raids of zerglings is the general state of the powerhouse guild. I believe they had nowhere near those numbers yesterday, so the prospect of small manning the nightcap might have driven them to the desperate measures I described above.

Kartalin

Time to re-gear/finish leveling EP? So much nonsense with AD and DC lately.

Nihang

who is the leading powerhouse guild of ad?

Kartalin

The "Powerhouse Guild", a title that for some reason they decided to bestow upon themselves, is TD. It stands for Total Dominionation but you may see some more clever interpretations by guilds that have claimed keeps. Basically they wrangle all the pugs and zerg zerg zerg.

Yesterday they were bragging about trying to emp for the third time in a day but didn't seem to feel any shame for losing it twice already.

Campaign is way better with no emp, as many of us have repeated in the past.

Nihang

ah yes the free ap guild iam told that they hate me.

New players shouldn't be shamed from trying to emp. It's fun and a hard earned goal regardless.
Bout to be the weekend so populations should be up. Shouldn't be as many drastic map flips for the next few days at least.

if your taking emp with a zerg when no one is online to defend you should be shamed regardless of faction or player.

I'm with you Zane. Personally I save my ridicule for when they offer you paypal payments in unsolicited PMs.

Zander98

Lolol.
Look...I'm not going to come down hard on anyone. It's not my style and I try to keep perspective at all times that this is just a game...
But some of that just looks ridiculous. For real.

Hey, weren't you DC's emp during that time when the pop locked oceanic/japanese zerg was flipping azuras blue every night?

I recall you being DC emp in the middle of the DC Japanese zerg days. To have reigned during those days and then judge others on how they get their emperorships seems pretty hypocritical to me. I don't judge though, emp crownings happen when one side has pop advantage over the other two most of the time anyways. Like this current campaign, DC has pop advantage in prime time and overnight, so they crown and flip the entire map blue. AD also has a pop advantage in the day, but imo, it's only for a small window and they start at their gates and have to dethrone first.

Rickter

who is this "oceanic japanese zerg" that you speak of?

Legitimate question.

That was back in Azuras almost a year ago. If you were #1 on the DC scoreboard, you were pretty much guaranteed emp the next morning because there was an oceanic guild pop locking DC and flipping the map blue overnight, every single night, for weeks, maybe months. So congratz to the DC emps who got crowned during that time. It was a very lucky time to be making an emp run if you were DC. However, they're the last people I expect to be shaming others on how they get emp...

Taylor_MB

The Oceanic DC Zerg was amazing.

Like legit you could be 1v3'ing and 3 of them would ride past on their horse and not get off to help, they were always so desperate to get back to their zerg. Don't think they were being courteous either, they were riding to 48v10 at a keep (and often fail).

Is that what it is like to fight TD?

Remorseless

Lol

me and vice made our EP characters during the Japanese zerg days and then we stopped playing pvp as a whole to do pve, i dont know if your trying to get me mad or are actually delusional.

Adenoma

He probably just isn't as intimately aware of your comings and goings as you are. And the oceanic zerg was beautiful - it happened in BwB too and there was the most wonderful nights of small grouping then.

Malibulove

Legion of Norrris zergs ahhhhhhhh!

I'm merging the guild names because I honestly can't tell which stack bodies is which anymore.

Also Nihang aren't you Hero? You ran Storm-Knights on your Magplar while it was bugged and rode the DC zerg like it was going out of style. I wouldn't be surprised if the JPN zerg named a Gundam after you.

Kartalin

Nihang isn't hero, as far as I know. Different @ names.

WhiteMage

Nihang is my hero.

Last week some AD were attacking a blue Roe. It was a battle of potatoes on both sides, but there were a LOT of potatoes. DC was defending mostly through counter-siege. I hopped down from the top from the wall and in a rare display I started diving in and out of the AD, working my way through them. Lo and behold, who did I see down there with me? A single DC. You guessed it. It was Nihang on his homeless Templar killing AD beside me. Who did I not see with me? The Emperor that arrived within seconds of me through the transitus shrine. He was still shooting siege or something.

It was the two of us versus an army of distracted potatoes... And this battle aside, I think Love Palace is currently the highest performing guild that DC has in Sotha Sil. Whenever I see those tags beside me in a fight, I get a confidence boost because there is some stellar backup behind me.

Humphie

I understand many people are in BGs and PvE land....but what I don't get is people PvDooring the map, no resistance and then being proud of it. Like what did you accomplish?
