Sotha Sil (EU PC)

Tillalarrien

Since I just moved here from Kyne where our forum thread was always an entertaining read, I was pretty disapointed not to find similar thread for this campaign, just a couple of disjointed QQs. And so im starting one
This is to be a big cross-alliance chat, full of salt, drama and unlikely friendships!

And so, I'll start with few observations, from a point of expereinced PvPer, but newcomer in SS, EP side.
Current population during active hours seem to be into EP's favour, which is a bit unfortunate for a guy joining, since its always more fun to play underpopulated faction. Still I like that other 2 factions are active enough to not let EP dominate but instead keep pushing back and keep PvP going!

Campaign seems a bit worse in regards to nightcapping. What amazes me tho, is that it seem to be going on on all 3 alliances roughly in the same amount. EP capping few days at the end of evening, others later at night and in the morning.. Altough I'll never understand ppl taking scrolls from NPCs at 4am, i must say: if it doesnt kill the PvP enjoyment at primetime, go slaughter those NPCs! Show them who's best! :P

And finally, since im moving here along with a guild, Im interested to find out names and activity of other guilds playing in SS Ive met some EP ones alrdy but im interested in knowing what DC and AD groups we will be fighting.. so far we have seen a couple of good ones, and we are very much looking forward to wiping you after we settle in!

Welcome to Sotha Sil!

Always good to have a new PvP guild on EP side!

Jaxaxo

Yeee, drama and salt would be nice

I'm pleasantly surprised since I switched to Sotha Sil. As a casual PvP noob by dedication with mostly playing at late evening hours (when the kids are sleeping ) I mostly find action somewhere on the map. And indeed a little less laggy than Vivec. The waiting in the queue pays off...

AD welcomes you, even you being an "enemy". If you want a challenge, go to underpopulated AD side. Even losing to zerglings and night captures, we still laugh of them.
Oh, and Destro Ulti and Prox Deton will certainly become part of your routine.

Tillalarrien

whole guild is EP based for 2 or more years and ppl have thier multiple chars grinded up and geared on ep so that makes it really inconvinient if not impossible to switch allainces
Im happy tho that we can count on AD to stand thier ground!

Im very positive you`re cheating, pact scum!

Sadly, as much as I love this campaign.. It's quite terrible right now.. For every DC there is at least 20 EP.

During peak AND off peak times, it's just a nightmare.

Since we moved to sothis, the population difference is a bit of an issue firghting from the EP side, we have managed yo have some nice fights of our own but the EP horde is usually quick to get to the action too.

Few of us are making DC/AD chars to have some fun when we dont have Guild raids, which will always be ran on EP side.

Had a few nice solo fights in the afternoons, looking forwards to more!

But on a serious note, Coach is right. I played on Azura/Sotha since I came back from my long eso break. I actually never liked CP campaigns but just two days ago I started to "l2p" on Vivec. As soon as I went there I realized I wasn't the only DC from Sotha who migrated there. If EP's want to have their own campaign without any enemies, they are close to archieve that goal...

Agreed, all Coach's fault!

The "Légion Coeurébène" welcomes you buddy We're a little french EP guild based on Sotha since around a year and a half. Don't hesitate to ask us if you wanna make a GvG someday!

raviour

i might switch to AD here just to kill Lizzie from DO, i main on vivec as DC tho. CP and DC

AD need to fix up n stop hug each other in vivec, EP need to fix up n stop holding hands here. DC rule coz we barely even have a pug anywhere.

This campaign is utter crap from a DC perspective. Every time you get some nice small scale action, the zerg comes rushing in to ruin everything. 20 players chasing 1 guy, permasnaring and even using multiple ults... The EP zerg is just sucking out all the fun. When DC and AD are at 1 bar, EP is already poplocked. It is just sad.

Im glad EP got treated with their own medicine yesterday evening. Serves them right.

1 month ago DC did the same thing.... it was even worst ^^
It s more a mentality issue than a faction ones.
Players go where it s easier to win.

Morgul667

Many of my guildmates are moving away from sotha sil as EP is zerging it. Still some good fights but usually outnumbered big time

hope it gets more balanced, i love this campaign and refuses to respec my home campaign

Fyi im DC, covenant all the way

Yeah I remember this, for some reason there were lots of DC here...... And yet, there was still much more EP.

Jaxaxo

And DC was pushing to gates and nightcapping. Don't try to defend your faction @CoachPower, there was time when map was constantly blue. Everybody's zerging, that's all. I'm not happy with current situation, rather would prefer whole DC map and i hope this month will be more balanced, but we will see...

What are you talking about? Everybody knows DC doesn't zerg. Kappa.

But yeah, I get what you're saying and I highly doubt things will be different this month. It seems most DC have lost motivation and are jumping ship.

@anathosdm @Jaxaxo Yea previous month DC was more popular for some reason. I'm not debating that DC doesn't zerg when they get the chance, because they do.

The problem I currently have with EP is this. They have the entire map. They leave 2 blue home keeps alone. You never see EP doing anythinf at all. Then, if you only dare to touch 1 resource or start some small scale fight, immediately, and within 1 minute, sometimes even faster(no kidding), the entire zerg comes down on your head. I mean... wtf!? If you want to zerg, do it properly and zerg us all the way to the gates. Act like the dominant alliance. But this passive behavior where they just wait for us to do something in hopes it might be fun, and then come to crush that? This mentality is making me consider to switch to Vivec. It is more frustrating than getting spawncamped.

anathosdm

As a DC I find it quite funny, taking some random ress and killing the first 7-8 EP noobs who come.
The bad thing though is during low pop time it s kinda hard to find a good fight

soll

Can't wait to finish leveling AD healtard char for pvp. Soon!

anathosdm

Yep we need more AD

Alphaa

DC char will be ready soon!
