Shor PC/NA "Official" Discussion

A group of 10 people at night is plenty to nightcap a map in a campaign that falls dead when midnight comes. You should know that.

I'll screencap it next time I guess, I keep getting notifications of you taking scrolls at a temple when I'm doing my crafting writs or pledges around 3-4AM. And that's usually an hour or two after the one where Kita gets crowned emp for the 2nd time in the day after crumbling once there's actual population in the server.

Like I already said, I was defending scrolls last night before maintenance hit, and was actually returning a scroll EP took from our temple, so you've already been proven wrong on that front. Also are you really trying to say my guild night capped the map for AD to get kita emp every single night and thats why? You really do have no argument. Anyways, I'll stop replying to empty irrelevant claims such as these from now on because its nothing short of trolling. Have a good day.

I'm not even talking about last night, but whatever floats your boat. Every time I read you whining about nightcapping, all I can see is this:

1. Saying my Guild of currently 17 people, some of which don't play AD or group with us is responsible for killing an entire campaign is (once again) turning a blind eye to the truth. I'm not sure how it is now but at the time sothasil had a huge AD population and would cap all the keeps in the evening / night but not the morning. AD had the largest zergs during primetime and it made people not want to bother logging in the next day/evening.

Only thing I wanted to add in on was this right here, I don't think she was talking about Y'alls guild, it was... a different one

I have been having some moderate success back baring ice staff in cp pvp. Mainly it started as a joke but my frostplar is soon to be an iconic shor meme. I look forward to “chilling” out cyro with mUh magical ways.

OKay, I am seriously intrigued with how that set up turns out. You totally caught me in a whirlwind (Ha!) last night when I saw you drop a Destro. I thought you had switched to Magplar for a bit lol (Or did you actually make one??). Anyways, I thought that was hilarious, especially because it seemed like it was working.

@Scrub_Potato , my best friend and girlfriend were super sweet and pitched in together to get me a 5 weight setup. It's probably a little overkill for trout in my state, but it'll let you do anything out West too. Then just followed a generic setup for a couple of streamers, nymphs, and dry flies. All told like $300. I've definitely spent more since because I lost a bunch of flies learning to cast, but now I can go out and not lose a single one (though I'm still pretty mediocre/bad at casting). Honestly, it's the best hobby I've picked up - I love it. I've been really into sport climbing/bouldering and trail running since I finished collegiate swimming, but this has been the most addictive.

Yea, definenetly on my list of things I want to do, along with Deep Sea Fishing, learning to surf (I learned how to Paddleboard, and that was awesome), and get Scuba certified (I may actually have a chance to do that one in the upcoming future, so that should be cool ). Not sure why, but I kinda clump all those things together on my bucket list lol.

Here's a video from a week ago when EP was about to take the sixth and final keep needed for emperor...

1. For the past week, players have logged on and red (EP) has had every single keep on the map with scrolls. Then the emperor is a player from your Guild. this usually starts during the night but by the morning the map is painted one color.
2. especially In the morning and sometimes during the night (mountain time), I and others have logged On and seen members of your Guild defending trip keeps while also, having all the scrolls and emp buffs.

For my 2 cents.. since I happen to be the DR emp to whom you refer to... I'm on the east coast and happen to lead the EP right now. When I go to sleep, the map is usually split between the factions. When I wake up in the morning I usually have an hour or so to hop on..When I have logged in I either find out I'm Emp or that I have become emp and lost emp over night! I haven't even played that much this past weekend due to RL stuff and I got an email for an EP saying I was the worst emp!! Which isn't surprising since I wasn't even online. I have no idea who turns the map red at night and as I mentioned to you when you messaged me that one morning, I was actually pretty upset it was all red... making it useless for me to pvp.
Out of the entire time I was emp I maybe played 3-4 hours of actual PVP. What is interesting is that no one on EP seems to move up the leader boards at night which is weird given that the map turns red at night.

Currently it's you, but before it was another player from your guild who'm im probably not allowed to name due to the forum rules.
Anyways, I don't think everyone in your guild has bad intentions.

I used to be special

EP is zerging their faces off tonight. Came on to 2 bar DC/AD vs pop locked EP with emp status and all ring keeps zerging glade (we had no scrolls). Granted it was some good AP for us because they failed a couple of times, but wtf. Im sure our tri keeps will once again be gone by morning. How EP manages to field such huge numbers in Vivec and Shor is mystifying.

casparian

Pact Militia was the main guild EP zerg there, at least at first. Don't they main Vivec?

Vilestride

They were in Vivec later in the night. They might have been waiting in queue.

Kartalin

...And then DC emped after LoM and Bal Busters started zerging together

I don’t think they’re normally in Shor, but that’s who was hitting us at glade.

DC is the new EP. Just sayin'

Pretty matched by EP now. Actually started 3 ep bars 2 everything elsse when I first got on but now its 3 DC 3 EP.

Im not going to lie though. I kind of enjoy the large fights between EP and DC where I can potato my shieldless sorc

TazESO

Smfh at this entire thread.

Exception: @Montayva, whom I have the mostest respect for and am not even in that faction. And one other, my GM who shall remain nameless please.

Tried to avoid the big fights tonight for the most part, only time I got in one was at Bleaks. Had to be two raids of EP pouring in there. Awful.

Yeah. It got a bit out of hand fast.

Rickter

looks like <Ancient Army> is back on Shor. love the team work AD and EP: AD hit Glademist while EP hit Aleswell - why not right? DC deserves it.

who cares if EP had Alessia through bleakers - amirite?

haha. oh boy, you guys. .

Kartalin

Ancient Army never tells us where they are when we ask in zone, but we always know they're bumbling around at one faction or another's trikeeps. Even the people that join their groups complain in zone that they are frustrated at the lack of direction from group leads and the fact that they don't have success when taking large swaths of our faction to outer mongolia.

casparian

All the best scenery is in outer mongolia though!

technohic

I think Im going to switch to Vivec. Sometimes I like Shor but the numbers are inconsistent. The fights are either zergs like Vivec or your waiting for something to happen/go and try to pick a fight. Then you show up with 2, they show up with 1. You show up as 1 they show up with 5. You show up with 15, they show up with 5. You show up with 5, they show up with 20. Its tedious.

Agreed but Vivec is also pretty horrendous just in terms of sheer lag and numbers. I was having more fun in Vivec off hours for a while though. Sometimes it’s good just to switch it up. ZOS just really really needs to overhaul PvP. I always have one toon homed in Vivec though.

Rickter

Had a lot of fun in Shor tonight. Went for an EP scroll - that always spices things up. made 120k AP a majority of which was obtained prior to server reset.

My advice for finding good action: Sometimes, that ride to Cropsford can make all the difference.

Rickter

oh boy - EP stepped it up, we aint morning capping no more, we ALL DAY CAPPING!!



Again: only DC pushed to the gates. Real classy. play how you want boys n girls. Even if it means at the expense of others!
