A rally for AD to drop Shor and come back to Vivec PC NA

courier

I've been on AD since the start of the current campaign and I have to say, its really feast or famine as far as players go. I have heard that many of the bigger name players swapped to Shor due to the beating we have been taking from both EP and DC. Lots of folks have noticed, and many want to find good fights... The population on AD is growing. AD can be a great faction, and will be. Those of you who jumped ship, come back and give it a shot... Lets give the Reds and Blues hell.

Elong

Agreed.

Please come back. The last campaign that was fun was 2 campaigns ago when AD won.

Competition is needed. That doesn't mean stacking raids either, but more competitive gameplay across different time zones is missing right now.

Then encourage all the ex-AD zerging with EP to switch back.

"constantly." Last year I started a thread that pointed out an issue that grew into what you're complaining about. The problem with competitive balance isn't the players currently playing for AD, it's the ones playing for EP.

I'll break out the measuring tape if I have to fellas.

On a serious note, last night was a good night in pvp land a lot of give and take. I hope to see lots more of it, AD zone was super active and lots of folks working together.

CerebralNoise

Agreed, had a lot of fun last night, much better than this past weekend. Let's hope nights like that continue!

People really need to start adding the Platform + Location in the posts title.

It would be easier if some of the EP on PC Vivec na just rolled onto AD characters.

DC is starting to become more competitive, but most of the faction is lazy. The biggest issue is that nobody wants to group they'd rather solo Zerg surf, and that we have a lack of people who actually want to start groups and Lead groups. I honestly think DC is slowly dying.

I've actually had to step up and start leading, but believe me I do not like to lead. I've done it in so many other MMOs I just want to be a soldier LOL. I wish I was leading because I wanted to lead, not because nobody else is ,makes it seem like a chore.

dc has nothing itself to blame for the state its in because of a certain guild

No .. I left 2 years ago because of the lag.. You also can actually play your class unlike Vevic .. Also Shore does not have mindless ball groups that run around keep walls lagging everyone else near them as the spam 2 to 3 buttons.... no I will stay homed here and visit Vevic...

Why do you miss the LOL button ? Shore historically has not run Ball groups ... When I say ball groups Im refering to the ones on Vivec that run 24 strong and if you side step to right or left they run right by you... When two of these groups show up the lag gets horried for everyone else.. .... Lag here on shore has been non existent most of the time .. Last night we went to Vivec and PVP was ok until two huge groups showed up and then came the lag.... Buttons not responding, weapon swaps delayed, abilities not working (WINGS ON THE FEET BUG) ... Just crap performance... we travel back to shore around 9pm and PVP was much better no lag and some good fights.... ABILITIES WORKED !!!! We run small to medium setups we enjoy being able to hit abilities and it actually work.... Why play a game if it does not work...

So for many of us who have advicated this server we have promoted the smaller group play around less lag

Kartalin

I don’t think any of the organized ball groups run anywhere near a full 24. You may have just encountered a good old fashioned 40+ faction zerg.

Why? PC NA is obviosly the only relevant point of discussion.

Who cares about console....

PC is the master race, and is the only thing that actually matters. No need to say what platform.

Mazbt

AD gets too discouraged and salty when things don't go well. Even though on Vivec the map can flip back to balanced/even in like under a half an hour.

Wow I read a hundred posts every day most are completely ridiculous. This is the one good post in a sea of forum warriors.

You know, most ball groups are actually very organized. And they don't run more than 12 to 24 people. They aren't a Mindless Zerg using whatever they want, they're well-thought-out builds and using specific skills.

In fact, ball groups were created to kill Zergs. Designed to fight in outnumbered situations, and to come out on top. For example 15 of us killed 70 EP at bleakers the other night. Ball groups require absolute perfect composition for them to work. There are days where my group have trouble wiping zergs because we're down damage or one Healer. It requires more organization that I'm sure you don't even realize.

Ball groups are actually small scale PVP. Especially when two organized ball groups go up against each other, where call outs matter, where seconds matter, were any little mistake could wipe you in an instant. That is really where the high-octane action of cyrodiil comes out. 32 people fighting in an open field using abilities and reacting to fake outs and other tactics. There is a competitive ball group scene, that I wish would grow because it is absolutely so fun.

Thsi is why ZOS have to realease the Fraction swichers lock ASAP. People on pc eu in vviec do teh same thing, tehy first start to paly with AD then when tehy see AD became stronger and actualy progressing something, tehn all you can see is people leaving raid groups and swiching fractions. wich is basicly not just dishonroful, but also disgusting, becasue basicly DC and EP began to unite against AD. And the only way that AD can hold them self and bee always teh winenr of teh month campain is to night or dawn map flipping to yellow.

I hate traitors, and teh loyal AD numbers are very low.

It's not a relative term.

I'm not a playstyle elitist. I've enjoyed all styles. I've zerged with the best of them. But call it what it is: large scale PVP.

To address the OP and the plea to return. Many of the guilds are theory building testing and consuming new content. I have not lead a raid since May 19th. We have plans on returning next week to a normal raid schedule but that still doesn't mean the numbers will balance or even anything of that nature.
