Sotha Sil NAPC Part VII

NightSquirrel

Y’all forgot about the squirrel zerg. I run an epic server crashing one man group nightly and emp everyone in my way. This may all be true were it not for the pesky uninstall button that got in my way.

I don’t use BOL in Cyrodiil. Haven’t in some time. It’s Reflective Light. But, thanks.

I run with @Kastonov, @Jayelf, @Dyadic, @Karraxx and @Aliyavana nightly.

On Wednesday nights, I crown BBC1 and BBC2 guild PvP, which is usually 15-20 people. I can’t help that, if it seems like a zerg.

As for @Trader08 (Sazaki) goes, he runs with his wife and 4 others, and our 2 groups are never together.

As for rss zerging goes, @Kartalin will agree, that sometimes pugs follow you. When TM had 16 at Allessia Farm, he couldn’t help that Bashu and Asher’s groups came there (a total of 62 players, I think). It just happens.

I ran on DC the other night, and it was the same thing. People are going to go where the fights are.

As for AD:
RoB hasn’t run as a guild in 8 months, let alone it being large, when it DID run.

Zazaki’s group is 6 people.

IV were in Shor last campaign, and run in 2 groups of 8 right now.

IotE is the only large group in Sotha, and only run when Spoon gets on, later in the evening.

...AD calling in guilds that main other campaigns in order to emp are equally pathetic to me.

RoB has not run, as a guild, since last year, Brazz. They just haven’t.

But, even so, was Godshifter and his group homed here last campaign? Nope.
Was he in Sotha every night? Yep.

Was Jabs and his crew homed here? Nope.
Were they here several times a week? Yep.

Dutchess said they were leaving... and SURPRISE! Back to help Emp! lol

People hop back and forth. It happens.

But, as for large guilds, IotE were the only organized guild here last campaign. And IV is back here now from Shor, but they don’t run in one large group anymore.

That said, I only hope that Fengrush being here helps DC’s pop get back to what it used to be, and stays level after he leaves. I’ve never spoken ill of him, nor complained. I’ve talked to him. I appreciate his skill.

I think it’s going to be an amazing month for Sotha, once the EP pop goes up.

Zazaki’s group is 6 people.



Zazaki's group may consist of 6 people (lol yeah right) but i have never seen just his "6" without the rest of the AD zerghoard they hide in.

to be fair, ad and other factions will jump at the opportunity to get some fast ap and that makes smaller scale hard

It was 12 TM people and the number of total DC at the farm never exceeded 20. Bashu and Asher never appeared and there was no place they could hide that many people from us. I spent the last hour going through the video and putting it together for youtube. I'll send you the link later today once it's rendered/saved/uploaded so you can see.

I've actually spent maybe 2 hours in sotha this week given I work 80hrs/wk now. Still homed there.
I had the pleasure of being on last night and watching AD get rolled on by equal/less numbers of DC.
I think its a great campaign now at prime time. DC + AD are equally matched population wise.

Star_Carrier

Also still homed in Sotha Sil. Have homed no cp for 2+ years just like the rest of said "crew", however that will probably come to an end due to horrible state that is Sotha.

ImSnowman

I've played in Sotha with Jabs/Star and company for years, I don't pvp in any other camps. That being said i've not played hardly any the last few weeks, but as far as coming to the campaign to help emp, I don't think any of us have ever given a *** about emp tbh, esp on our own faction.

UnKnowNKiLLeRR

People should learn to play against good player instead of quiting the game. I personally believe, its going to fun playing aganist him.

squidprojectb14_ESO

RoB hasn’t run as a guild in 8 months, let alone it being large, when it DID run.

Seconded. Most of us have gone inactive and the few of us that remain tend not to play at the same times. I admit I pretty much zerg surf so it's possible you've seen my tabard, but I generally avoid large groups. Sotha was largely unplayable as AD last campagin because there was just never anything left to take. As fun as complaining about that in zone can be, I usually either log out or faction hop. Rin and I have been playing on EP quite a bit lately.

Floobs

Great job tonight at Chalman, AD! It may have only taken the whole faction and an hour's worth of time, but you did it!

gabriebe

lol was that after or before they were at poplock versus 2 bars of DC and 1 bar of EP?

DC has solid defenses for sure, kinda irritating but that’s how it should be

coulda been worse though, like someone who failed taking AD‘s home keeps with a 15+ group against 4 people.. More AD got on after that

Com'on Heike, you can't be serious... All these groups run on Sotha when it matters, to push for emp and zerg the map down. Had these groups not played on Sotha, AD wouldn't have emp'd a single time last campaign. That's just a fact.

It's extremely hypocritical for AD to complain about Fengrush when he's only doing to them what they've been doing to EP and DC for the past few campaigns. I, for one, am playing my EP until DC gets less zergy. But Fengrush calling in his "orc army" and AD calling in guilds that main other campaigns in order to emp are equally pathetic to me.

Spoon works for Starbucks and that's hardly a secret. IOTE goes up in the evenings when she gets home from work, though that may vary night to night. Our big raid per week is Little Black Dress PVP on Friday nights and that's always more social than serious. IOTE averages 6-12 per night, with 20ish on Friday and Saturday. We haven't pushed an in guild emp since last November. Emperors are a bad investment for a pvp guild in a 30 day campaign because they usually burn out.

Or you know, go join Fengrush's inner circle. Good place to hide.

We don't complain about Fengrush bringing much needed population into the campaign. But sooner or later, he's going to get bored again, and then what happens to DC? None of them are going to have learned anything, but Fengrush will have taught a lot of people not in any of those guilds you've listed that gate-camping and zerging makes you cool.

The first night (the one he RP'd) was really awesome. His groups were spread out, fights were fluid, each faction sometimes won and sometimes lost. But if he's just going to do laps around the EMP ring, people will just start to nope out. It would probably help if he stopped sieging himself. That's a skill new players to pvp need to learn, and if he keeps doing it for them, that just breeds dependency. And the name calling that went on in his stream Tuesday night is appalling. Even though over all, he's been a really positive force and we've been enjoying it.


Also, were is the Orc Lord voice and where are the orc drums? That's the real complaint.

gameswithaspoon

Also, around 70% of the AD faction is sitting on the resource quest for BRK lumber. Food for thought.

gabriebe

AD should just count itself lucky that it likely won't get camped at their gates, simply because it wouldn't be a good look for Fengrush's target audience.

Sotha has been fun the last couple nights, but then again maybe it's because I do appreciate big fights with numbers and organization on all sides.

also:

'Fengrush will have taught a lot of people not in any of those guilds you've listed that gate-camping and zerging makes you cool.'

Well it's a step up from learning that capping a ressource in the absolute backwoods to avoid getting zerged will still result in getting zerged by 15-20 ADs. Campaign has been stuck in a loop of no pop on EP and DC because you guys litterally kill every small fight. In a way, I almost wish AD would get every single keep and camp the gates, because maybe that way they'd actually log off and do other things instead of playing cards while sitting on Nikel, Sej and Bleakers.

gameswithaspoon

Gabbie, why do you throw Comet at Spoon when she can block?

Does that really kill anyone in Kyne?

I don’t remember saying we were leaving Sotha. However, I do remember saying we are playing multiple servers either Sotha or Shor, Vivec is unplayable during prime time. I have to be honest I don’t even know who has been in the running for emp lately, so to say that Darkest Requiem is back to emp is not accurate.

Shout-out to Fruitalina and Zazaki. They were amazing hosts while I was RP'ing on my AD... And I apologize for listing their guild as a big group, they're definitely small scalers!
On the other hand, I maintain that IV and IotE are big groups since Spoon and Tris never invited me to their group

It was fun getting to talk to you last night.

The “Sej Incident” was pure hilarity, and a perfect time to log off.

“1v1 me for the scroll.”

The AD in this campaign are terrible. 50 to take Nikel from 12 of us. You all need to learn how to fight so it dont take so many. Lol. Just disgraceful.

Kartalin

They’re real good at putting down siege though, especially if it’s an open field fight and they outnumber you.

They even put down siege on people defending keeps. Like vs 4 defenders. And 40 AD. Got to love having 16 AD siege, 8 of those meatbags and coldfires.

Kartalin

@FENGRUSH Not gonna lie man, that Harmony buffed (I suspect) Nova synergy bomb you pulled off on us last night was pretty sick. Sucks we were on the receiving end but respect the beauty of it.

I think you are just upset that 50 of us took it from you period.

If 12 of us took it from 12 of you, it isnt gonna make you feel any better.

Actually 12 on 12 is more of a fair fight. Balanced fights are great

It wouldn't matter, he's just upset that we took nikel from them.

I'm not new and have lost many keeps. I would have applauded any 12 who could have taken it from us the way siege works these days. What I'm upset about is the fact that 50 people dont have anything better to do other than ruin a potentially good fight for a few AP. Its poor sportsmanship.
