Why do DC and EP hate AD so much and with passion?

Nightfall12

D.C. Here, I don't know if this helps but I prefer attacking red keeps and defending against yellow. It seems to me when red comes to take over...they bring the hurt. But they always seem out raiding so they don't seem to defend as much, where it seems yellow like to hold keeps and they dig in deep.

The only thing I agree with AD on...is that we both hate EP.

While I dislike both DC and EP, I particularly dislike DC due to the behavior of most DC players I’ve come across. They’ve always struck me as rather arrogant and snobby. In duels and 1-on-1 engagements, they hop around like rabbits. Then proceed with tea-bagging when they claim victorious. Yet make excuses, and behave sour when they obtain defeat. Most of the DC I’ve encountered are also very emotional and two-faced.

Out of all of the DC players I’ve encountered, there are maybe a handful (if that) that I could consider to be nice decent individuals. And that is the truth. Sad. But true.

Good song.

Another thing that's sad but true is why you've forgotten to include the EP in this post beyond saying "While I dislike both DC and EP." Other than that all of your post seems to have been dedicated to the DC and why they suck. I agree. But please tell us why you dislike the equally emo and two-faced EP.

Hi there, folks!

It bothers me to see that not only in Sotha but also in Vivec DC and EP (MOST OF THE TIME) have to sign up against AD even or specially if AD has low population. It seems almost pathological the utter hate they have on AD side. I would like to know from you folks your ideas or speculations on the matter about the reasons. Here is mine:

The reason DC and EP hate AD so much that's because of the High Elf background on AD side. Hight Elfs are fabulous and beauty so they envy those fancy clothes and Castles. Not to mention the magical power.

Have fun an peace out!

The reason why I dislike EP, is because they just are some deadass bums. Lol. No other way to put it. I just dislike them, because they are always some shady and scheming tip. They’re like a bunch of snakes. Can’t trust a Pact member, as they’ll backstab you with the quickness. And then be cocky about their deception. This is proven day in and day out around Tamriel, and even in lore. The Pact are just a bunch of savage bums. Lol.

And it’s not even just on a combat perspective either. If you go to Mournhold (on PS4-NA), you usually will find things more expensive than they should be. Where as if you go to Grahtwood or Wayrest, things are dramatically cheaper. They’re just some bums, bro. They’re always looking for a means to 1-up. Whether it be by screwing people over, or just by doing things that are heavily frowned upon. Just overall dirty scrubs.

Relax. Everyone dislikes DC.

Casterial

Its... AD. Nothing can sum it up better.

Curtdogg47

its A role playing game! So in the spirt of being into the game I don’t like AD or DC!

I do get more hate mail from AD players. So I guess I may dislike AD more!

AD needs to be zerged into oblivion. Over and over campaign after campaign, camped at the gate and let the real alliances, the one with the better players DC, and EP fight it out for 1st.

You'll always be last AD, and no amount of whining on the forums is going to change that.

because dc and ep are ***, and they know it.

Jealousy: because Kate Beckingsale is our queen.

Dominion_Mirages

Heh... I wish they modeled Ayrenn after Kate... Unfortunately, they did quite the opposite...

Goshua

Well the sore losers bailed on their alliance, the ones that nearly burst into tears if their raid gets wiped and belittle persons who the see responsible for it, so now were left with the dedicated and friendly, much rather lose with players like that around me.

I hate to generalise, but i wil, EP to me are a mass of bad's and DC seem to find every exploit there is in the game and rub it in everyone's faces

AD is full of cowardly zergbads who run across the map instead of fighting when you catch them alone, but will gladly roflstomp and teabag you when they have a 10 to 1 numerical advantage. DC and EP are not nearly this bad.

You have your answer in the quoted part above. If your faction is low pop is won't be putting up much of a fight without some really good groups. The other two factions smell blood in the water and push your faction. It happens all day every day because the main driver for people is now AP not campaign.

Wing

actually there are many base human reasons why AD is hated more so then the other alliances in the alliance war.

-COLOR

yellow on the color spectrum is near the bottom in terms of preference by humans, blue is at the top as one of the most favorite colors, and red is near the middle.

so players don't like the color yellow

-POSITION

all things being equal humans will take the centermost, or most obvious choice they are presented with. AD is located in the center of the map comparatively to the other two factions so its where most players will focus if looking for a fight

players aim for center and that center is AD

______________________________________

getting into a few more subjective reasons

-VLAST and CROPS

are both located behind AD lines compared to bruma that is located an even distance between EP and DC. this is a slight boon but a large bane as it makes the possibility of holding them slightly more easy but the loss of them far more devastating and opens up far more of AD's keeps being attacked at random and from weird locations when its far more easy to have spawn points behind enemy lines.

-RACES

race restricted alliances are still a thing to most people and AD does not draw the most competitive of players as far as race choice is concerned. players choosing pretty high elves are not as inclined to be aggressive or PVP oriented as players that choose Orcs or Nords

-faction META

EP has the numbers, DC has the guilds, been that way forever except for a time when some EP migrated to DC then DC had the guilds AND the numbers. AD gets by with an unparalleled ability to have a bunch of tiny groups or solo players faction stack when required, AD pugs are not as dependent on guilds.

-Alessia bridge

was specifically built and placed by the team purple devs to keep AD down, as long as it exists AD will continue to have troubles. . .in all seriousness the bridge is much harder to get past then mile gates and far more easy to get stuck on.

Kozato

I have your answer.
It's PvP and people are scraping at things to complain at. On every faction there is hatred towards the other factions. Each team yells at the opposition saying they zerg to win when they do it themself, but turn a blind eye and use the "we're a raid, not a zerg" excuse

Here is mine:
Players always complain about the other two factions and you happen to be an AD player
if you were EP you would complain about team green, and if you were DC you would be here expressing confusion as to why it's always blue vs. orange

Yup pretty much this

I've played on the 30-day CP campaign in all three alliances, and I found that each one disliked the other two equally, or complained about them joining forces. Lately I've been playing mostly on my DC toons, and in every group I've participated, the decision of which keep to hit is based on how the map looks and the scoreboard, and not on alliance vendettas

I wish xbox AD could dig in like you said, its the opposite..We blitz everything via front door and only defend alessia or roe sometimes not even that.

SisterGoat

If you've ever played Civilization or any conquest game similar to it, it's a good strategy to ally with somebody to take over another enemy, especially if they are too strong to take on alone. Once they've been eliminated, you go turn on your ally so you can conquer them.

Raudgrani

It's all in your head, and/or the result of "guild politics" and/or even single individuals. The "hatred" isn't the same on all servers and platforms.

malchior

True that. Here's a brown paper bag...

The details are different by Platform and Server, but the story is always the same. Two sides form an under the table unspoken Alliance to double team the third, and this seems to happen no matter what platform, server, or campaign you play on. For Xbox NA, the EP are the ones constantly double teamed. One of the biggest reasons why I quit PvP. There's even collaborators in the Pact side that sit back and allow/encourage the other factions to take Keeps.

A Dominion Guild will have one guy log in on his Pact character and go into the same Campaign, feeding them information and such.
