    If bombing as '16' is so easy why can't you guys do it at 24+?
    ^ Loaded question based on false premise.

    That gets into raid comp and what each group builds for. You guys as a consequence of running the size you do, are built primarily as an alpha strike group with less 'sustained' dps focus. We as a consequence of running the size we do, are able to run a group that incorporates more sustained dps capacity which especially comes into play long drawn out fights vs the kind of rez spam that goes on in keeps.

    Did you get approval from 'B' to call us alpha's in comparison to you :)?

    You certainly have a rosy view of last night. It takes some real determination to condense that many wipes down to 2. Again, you're just falling back onto blaming your circumstances. "I only had this many people and I was in enemy territory". You don't know how to lose without making a multitude of excuses. It's pattern, Iz. None of your losses count and all of your wins were awesome!

    Also I'm somewhat confused. We can't bomb? You've lost me.

    And finally, you talk *** you get tbags. That's what we call standard operating procedure. I'm usually the passive aggressive one but ya'll been putting me to utter shame.

    It's you who has the rose tinted sunglasses I'm afraid :)
    What's your excuse for tbags before these threads?

    Members of your guild talking mad ***. I don't personally participate very often but when you're sending whispers for people to killthemselves IRL and *** like that, tbags are deserved.

    We keep records of all our stuff. It's why I can laugh when I get hit with "you've never wiped us even numbers" or "you had 40 ppl!!!!". I just don't post that stuff on the forums. If we can't make our reputation on the field, then we've failed already. No need for bragging and video spam, that's been our policy for years now.

    So VEs policy is apparently no bragging, no toxicity, no tbagging but that's exactly what your guild is known for? Okay then... :neutral:

    It was always a point of pride how much our Alb melee masher group could wipe in one go. Our biggest number was 47 in the Lord room of Caer Hurbury (in RVR 1.0, back when the keeps were static things).

    1 Paladin (me)
    2 Mercs
    1 Reaver / Polearmsman
    1 Sorc
    1 Minstrel
    2 Clerics

    But that's a digression.

    This game is different and built for different things. It's also much faster paced than DAoC.

    Pfft, you're not an alb group till you ran 3 Theurgist/1 Sorc/2 Clerics/1 Minstrel/1 Cabby

    You wanna ruin the lives of everyone you run across, run that setup lol

    Lol.

    You're great at starting *** Ren, Im a little mad at myself that I believed your veneer of civility. All it took was getting wiped 20+ times in a week and all that niceness and sportsmanship vanished. I don't know if you just weren't expecting competition or thought your plague doctor spec would carry you to flawless victory or what, but your attitude and the attitudes of your guildmates is night and day from a few weeks ago.

    Meanwhile we just continue doing what we always do, adapting to new strategies and builds and watching fake sportsmanship dissolve into salt when victories don't come as easily as expected. You have nice ppl in your guild, your baiting and ***-stirring is a poor way to represent them.

    You guys started all of this salt and keep making all this drama and popcorn :smile: Here on forums, in other peoples guilds, even on streams. It's obvious that you are upset and I don't know even why. Like all it took to trigger you was the fact that I said it's only PM left on EP side that still run 24 lol (which is true and you even confirmed it yourself saying that your guild is "a kind of ESO dinosaur"!). Never thought VE members are so sensitive about their own group size!
    Think would be better for all sides to stop all this dramas tho, seeing as you will never GvG us for whatever reason. So theres no point for more trash talks because its clear that neither side will agree on what challenge or fun in the game is and that is fine ;)

    Sorry but how did you get any of those kills through your 588 ping? 28% KB/Kill ratio. No wonder you run in VE, typical zergger.

    I would be remiss in my duty as a VE zergger if I didn't delegate reading forum posts to others, but since we're on the subject of reading I'm gona have to consult with our Guild Librarian before I can get back to you.

    The argument stands, who is the better guild, and until you guys get out from behind saramis's apron and come g v g us we will never know. I know your daddy bulb doesnt want to, but that should not stop you from settling this petty personal debate - anytime you want.

    My @name in game is @AbramXII feel free to whisper me when you are ready. I'd be happy to post results here for everyone to see.

    This one has run into players who consider even that to be an overwhelming tidal wave.

    Though that may just be because this one is using 'that super broken ultimate only scrubs use'. AKA, werewolf. Or at least that is what this one was told by a magsorc running a helplessly outmatched frags/curse/streak build.

    VE? isnt that the guild who relentlessy flips KC and other non defended keeps? XD.

    JK guys...we used to fear you, i dont know what happened. Maybe it was when most of the large guilds in the game disolved to smaller guilds. You guys remind me now as kinda like fantasia...kinda meh. Only thing ur guild seems usefull for is being able to get 20 seige up on KC and dragon and flagged before anyone notices. Kinda like fantasia.

    Raid guilds are all but dead...been on death beds for the past year.

    When we played it was pre-TOA. Only Shrouded Isles was an active Xpack. Theurgists /sucked/ when I played. OTOH, Reaver + Merc + Polearmsman was absolutely ridiculous burst and I prided myself as the best GuardBot paladin on Percival. Chant twisting while guarding gave me carpal tunnel (for real).

    Theurgist have never really sucked you also should of replaced one of the Mercs for a Necromancer if you wanted to see real burst with a Melee Train on Alb.

    SI also happened to be when Alb was pretty much entirely carried by its Realm Abilities and nothing more...Not that hib was much better with Group Purge

    TBH, after how terrible the performance was tonight, I don't blame you.

    Sadly, I only got to play because of the crashing, and had been stuck in a 350+ person queue which vanished immediately.

    Its just embarrassing at this point, if the ZOS engineers haven't figured out after 3 years how to make this game run, maybe its time for new engineers.
