@heike are you saying i'm taking pot shots at you? If so - then again i've been clearly mis-understood. I was not taking pot shots at anyone.

No, not you at all. Our fights against each other are always good, and without any tbagging on either side. lol

Again, I’m sorry the AD pugs showed up at Glade; it was an otherwise great fight.

I mean right now all the factions are on 2 bars but only ep and dc are getting the bonus

It's based on average population over time that is recalculated hourly. The 'over-time' portion of that is unknown. It could be a day, two days or a week. From experience, I want to say it takes about a week's worth of population information. That could be entirely wrong, though.

Oh ok then.
Meh, atm ad are pretty much non existent ( we only hold brindle and can't get any keep back)

A social/PvE guild of mine had a PvP event today in Sotha, the best the 6 of us could manage was take an outpost for about 5 minutes only to get zergeddown by about 25 people and emp.

How anyone still plays this campaign puzzles me. On either side. I especially dont get why the emp needs to put his weight behind killing any potential PvP when it's a month long campaign and they emp every single day.

I want to keep my low pop bonus ap pls

Rohaus

AD has completely destroyed this campaign.

Seriously, what does the AD zerg on Sotha do when they have no one to fight? Do they RP?

It amazes me when me and a few friends take a resource and shortly after an AD zerg shows up... they just wait to see something, anything... light up on the map and then bam! They are there...

J18696

Yeah rohaus the amount of times my grp takes a resource and get a response of over 10-15 ad is common as hell and its quite a challenge the kill them with only 3-6 people even when we fight with drunks grp even more ad show up and you end up fighting over a raid size amount of people but ad isnt the only faction todo that bashu does it and a few ep guilds do the same thing but ad is deff the worse at it and the funny thing is they complain the most out of everyone

All factions live in a glass house, my friend.

All factions live in a glass house, my friend.

Then shouldn't siege do moar damage?

Somewhere in this thread history was some back and forth about the faction that was quick to lay down field siege. So first to siege should auto-win regardless of what, how, and where it's used?

But it doesn't matter to me because everyone knows a bow-wielding nightblade is only suppose to crouch in stealth around keep walls pew-pewing snipe.

More to the original point. What does siege have to do with the theme of this faction nightcaps, shows up with 20 peeps to defend a resource, blobs and runs the map, and/or gate camps?

Every faction does it, did it, and will do it. And yes, it will happen when it makes little sense to with what is going on with the map or campaign.

I like no CP, too bad you can't play it.

Adenoma

Yeah, no-CP is great. Too bad this campaign is dead if you're AD.

mursie

I think this campaign is great. always something to fight.. even if it is 20+ at some points in time.

@Adenoma ,

I am not sure if you are aware, but for the past several months AD have continuously outnumbered the other alliances combined on this server. Until a week ago, almost every time I logged on they were gate camping DC and EP. Every evening looked like the image below (not my screenshot, it was taken from elsewhere on this thread). If non-CP is dead, AD have no one to blame but themselves. I fully realize that campaigns turn around, and every alliance gate camps at one point or another, but AD certainly took it to heart to PVdoor every single keep for weeks and months on end. Since the influx of several DC groups in the past weeks, the campaign has changed with DC now leading, but with an important difference. They don't gate camp.

So I guess my final word is this: I get it guys, you want to take over the map. But taking tri-keeps and camping at each others gates brews nothing but contention. If we want a good, balanced non-CP community, we really need to work together to ensure that kind of behavior does not continue.

Adenoma

@Odysseus87 , you misunderstand me. I hate being AD in this campaign because there's nobody to fight on other alliances. It's why I basically only play Shor now.

Odysseus87

@Adenoma
Ah, your right, I that was my mistake. You might give Sotha another try, I think you’ll find that EP and DC have been hitting the Dominion pretty hard as of late.

We definitely play in different time zones as when I log in, AD have 0 keeps and its pretty much impossible to put a group together

It's a perpetuating cycle. So when the next faction that comes along does the same thing back to AD, there will be complaints from them about "what's happening is ruining the campaign".

Adenoma

People will complain, but i would kill for that. So many people to fight.

ImSnowman

It was actually fun pvp a couple days ago

Not when you have 15-20 ADs zerging down the resource that your 2-3 man took. I mean I like outnumbered fights but when the faction stack comes with several healers/walking earthgores and ulti dumps you repeatedly, it's just not fun.

MinarasLaure

Just so you know...10 minutes ago one AD took scroll of chim from blackboot and brought it all the way up to sej where a group of ep showed up and took the scroll from him.
They almost made it...but they lost it near farragut.

TheYKcid

Had some fun, balanced PvP at 1:22am EST today. A warm thank-you to everyone who participated.

It's amazing how many 800CP+ players are hanging out on AD, you'd think they'd... be better.

AsherGrey

I'm not sure if anyone remembers consortium. We played 6 months ago in sotha and had been in it since it was azura. We used to win every campaign on dc. When we came back to sotha after a 6 month break, we learned about ad winning ever since we left. We've been back for 6 days and have managed to make a decent push for points, but lack numbers. We play around 10 pm cst until about 5 am. We are usually a group of 8-20. If ad would like to fight dc, that would be the time to do it. Otherwise I doubt you'll find even a single active guild. Dc seems pretty dead.


Side note; good fights to Dosey and the few guys that run with him, you guys are great.

11pm to 6am EST...? Overnighting the map?

Your guild “lacks numbers,” but you run in groups of 20? In the middle of the night? And you need MORE people to help you PVDoor...?

lol?

Adenoma

@AsherGrey , great that you guys are going to be in the campaign, but I don't think that there are many people that play during those oceanic hours. It sounds like AD will continue to flip the map during the day, and then you guys are gonna more or less need to PvDoor during the night.

Kartalin

Lol, old times then. Sorry to hear the BDO thing didn't work out Asher, bunch of TM people did the same thing about 2 yrs ago.
