Bahlokdaan PC-EU / Tell me, is this normal?

I have no words to describe this. This has been a thing the last 3 cycles.
This is not a troll post, I'm really pissed about nightcapping and AD being this strong.

Those who nightcap win the campaign.
DC have done it
EP have done it
AD are doing it
It is what it is and it does not get better by faction locking, because now the AD that actually want pvp can't, because they are locked and can't switch to their alts to have some decent fights in the night or early morning.

When I logged in last night there was more blue than is yellow in that pic. And groups of blues were retaking BB and BM resources as soon as they turned yellow. Definitely no room for righteousness.

I can't play anything else but AD because faction lock is nice. So enjoy guys. Hope you like it. Hope you like it so *** much.

It's not the point which faction is doing it. The issue is that they are able to achieve this in the first place. A map should never look like this.

It looks like this every night for the last 3 years (that's how long I've been playing but I won't be surprised that it happened from the very beginning).

But everytime someone tries to raise a point that this might be a problem the "tHiS iS a 24 hOuRS gAMe"-gang rushes in to defend their precious right to ruin the campaigns.

So organize a dc or ep group playing at night / early morning to counter ad.

There's nothing shady going on, AD just has the numbers. Now I've been playing this specific server and campaign a lot this past week and DC and EP both are very sharp when they get organized, keeping us on our toes quite consistently. I appreciate the DC and EP teams that keep coming at us and making it interesting.

And now DC are doing it. Who cares. Whichever alliance has more players in the middle of the night, wins. It's been like this since forever.

Yes nightcapers always win the campaign.
But AD won the 8 (maybe 9) last campaigns in EU 30 days non vet.

Something to say ?

I don't know what you're trying to say?

If they are intent on keeping this faction lock thing i wish there was an option to switch to a less dominant faction for your whole account.
It is their plan though probably, to sell some more crowns.

Theres 2 groups at night for dc:

One has been stopping Arkadium members nightcapping emp for thier guys since the new campaign started and we occasionally get emp keeps if one of our members is leading and then disbands, we have about 5-6 people max.

The other group is a mostly LFG pug who instends to cap the the whole map (and does it seems).

ThePedge

Yeah I've heard there are EP and DC groups targeting Arkadium

And rightfully so. Most of them are a bunch of sweaty tryhards that will chase you for miles on end with their raid if they see you are alone.

And tbh. that is really sad. Winning PvP campaign by doing mostly PvE (Fight against empty keeps defended only by NPCs, aka PvD - Player vs Door).

No, we don't.

So, basically they want to stifle pvp. Then I guess they dont want pvp. They just want to farm ap, is what it sounds like to me.

If they have scrolls and emp and are still keeping you gated, they are actively killing pvp.
Sounds like a fun server!

The_Old_Goat

Rumor has it that DC has bribed EP to let them take the lead and to stifle AD specifically.
