Yeah it's hard not to make fun of DC.

Someone is missing a few skyshards.

Looks like they were holding it until they took Aleswell back and EP was on their tail...

They're not capable of doing this while anyone is actually online. Yesterday during NA hours AD grabbed all the scrolls (each delivered by yours truly) from DC and de-emped with more of a fight from EP than blue could muster the whole time. All blue could do was sit inside the last emp keep in a zergpile holding hands while praying they wouldn't have to fight actual players.

I'd like to pretend thats true, but sadly its not. We had just ran the other 2 scrolls and the third one was ran by another guild. He ran it all the way to the gate and tried to turn in his quest only to realize he couldn't go to our spawn with the scroll.
Smh.

Running 3 scrolls at the same time...do you see what is wrong with that statement?

Hey don't be so mean, these guys mimicked your guild's actions perfectly. They only need to work on their landing now.

Kartalin

DC keeping it classy...

Adenoma

It definitely is a classy map.

gabriebe

The OCD in me is annoyed at how Arrius isn't blue or lining up with Glade in a straight line.

Adenoma

It gives him the nutrients to camp tri keeps every day.

Kartalin

We had some good fights tonight but frequently were outnumbered by more than twice our number which made things difficult, especially when certain larger groups of a blue persuasion insist on using siege on every single encounter. So to end our evening we decided to fight fire with fire literally and give it as good as we got.

Not All DC are useless. Nikel was under siege so we rolled up as a guild, the Saving-Ash bit was just to show that there were that many AD attacking at the same time. 10@Ash+23@nikel

ZOS_Ragnar

We have removed some recent posts that were baiting and attempted to shame other players. While some mild banter between players is expected in a pvp community you need to keep your posts civil and constructive and avoid resorting to personal insults.

Adenoma

Miat's makes me sad because it lets me know the approximate numbers of DC showing up at places in the morning. Like how an 11 man group showed up when I solo flipped a resource at Drake.

Malibulove

The best part of the videos people link is watching what's actually being cast.

In the opening 1 minute 30 seconds of that Nikel fight, there was:

1 Blazing Shield
3 Puncturing Sweeps
1 Radiant Oppression
5(?) Toppling Charges
1 Devouring Swarm
1 Proxy Det

That's 1 DPS skill every 7.5 seconds. It's about a single 3 skill rotation every 21 seconds if you factor in the combos.

If any DC ever wonder why people say they Zerg, watch some of the videos like the one above. You'll always see about a dozen doing the work while another dozen + a bunch of green names surf it.

I'm a little confused why you say "that many AD". It makes it sound as though there were significantly more AD than DC, but from what I can see in that video, you have almost a full raid + at last a handful of others, which would make the number of DC defending roughly even with the total number of AD attacking. The only difference is that AD split up while it appears as though DC is sticking together. This would make the number of AD and DC, again, roughly even at Nikel (though lopsided in DC's favor using the 23 number) while there were over twice as many DC at Ash.

Is there something going on that I can't see in the video?

I do that all the time when we charge into a DC zerg. Their damage output is just that bad that I can literally ride through it and come out on the other side with more than 50% of my health left.

We were missing 2 when we started which you can see by their names being faded out on the group up at the start. But I guess I see what you are saying, there are some non grouped members there from DC following us in which could bring the numbers to even. Although tbh, I don't actually count anyone that is not in our raid as "help" since 9 times out of 10... They Aren't.

The player recording is a 50 CP tank who started 2 weeks ago as a damage soak, which if you think about it, makes that video even better. .__. Tfw you guys think everything is about dps. Smh

Wow.

I don't think the posting of that has the effect you intended at all.

To think someone actually "synced" music to that and thought "this rocks" just shows that some people will believe whatever it is they are choosing to believe.

P.S. rolling 22-24 over 8 guys isn't "brag worthy" material.

P.S.S. you certainly don't add music to it unless it's the Benny Hill Theme song.

I'm trying really hard to understand the point of this video...
First, DC doesn't need tanks as you're zerging people down most of the time. In that video, the player recording it tanked literally zero players and only took AOE damage for the entirety of the video.
The title of video is "DC never attacks". Not sure who ever said that, but I think DC attacks plenty... especially when you can outnumber the other alliance as shown in the video or when night-capping and there's no one to defend.

Kartalin

How's the map looking today? We had small to medium groups going for both TM and RoB pretty late, like 4 am eastern or later, holding things down. Curious if that had any impact.

It was nicer. DC didn't have emp when I got on at about 10AM EST, though they did emp a few hours later when AD retook Alessia just a little too slow. When I left, I believe AD still had tri keeps, Brindle, Alessia and our Scrolls. One of EP and DC's too, and it sounded like DC was pushing EP tri keeps for some unknown reason (EP had no scrolls so I think DC just wanted to PvDoor).

Zander98

Well...any salt aside....
Can we all agree that we're drooling at the prospect of all these PVE'ers about to be flooding Sotha?
I almost think we should decree certain "potato zones" for each faction...places were we know if we see crossed swords it's feeding time.
Ahhh....nothing brings everyone together like a holiday.

Kartalin

Yes, it will soon be time to feast on the fatted calves.
