Honestly really sick of a certain blue group that keeps abusing hammer mechanics even now which was supposed to be fixed. They had the hammer for well over 2 hours last night with emp and a larger population where the entire blue population followed that hammer and lagged so many people out.

What do you mean abusing hammer mechanics?

There was an exploit where you could keep the hammer pretty much indefinitely (unless you were killed) without having to feed it. This was supposed to have been fixed.

I'm guessing it's the same ball group that used to do this on AD until they all alliance swapped recently.

Yeah I usually get on latter at night so greyhost is the only thing with that's hopping, and when I do its solo or duoing with phatmike or some other guildie. I guess I just got frustrated that night. I was getting my 1 v x's in on my stamblade and trying to find small fights which only yellow was seemingly doing surprisingly where as all the blues just followed hammer which they had for over 2 hours. I saw the biggest zerg of any alliance that I have seen since I started playing again of blues following the hammer zerg where they kept riding in an endless train from chalman to arrius with there whole 3 bar population. It was at that moment that I just didn't want to play anymore that night.

No no, not our group. Wouldn’t have asked if that was the case.

Honestly Grayhost is becoming unplayable with one alliance zerging everything down while getting large amounts of lag. Even late at night DC is three bar locked while other alliances have 1 bar. I was happy to see AD grab DC homekeeps for once, but the placement of the outpost are just really bad for EP since both alliances just grab either of them and immediately take EP's homekeeps.

I have nothing of value to add. Just wanted to say that it's a new campaign and I personally feel that Xbox NA deserves to be visible at the top of this forum. You know, for the five or so of us here who are actually a part of it.

Have been on a fat break from ESO - Thinking im coming back here soon -

If you see me falling all over the place, and looking like an idiot please mind your business, shaking off the rust

^ My last post was a bait to myself - I am back now - lmao : I failed to understand the new CP system SO for 7 hours yesterday, I died to every bomb, every gank, and every bad thing along the way - when I finally realized how the CP tree worked it was like a whole new world.

See you all tonight

Campaign needs more balance. Last couple of months it’s been crap

*EP Zone Chat*

"This giant random zerg isnt working AD emp group is just wiping us on cooldown, maybe we should form more coordinated groups"

**Ignores their own advice - continues to get emp grouped on in zerg for the next 8 hours**

I've barely been playing this camp. It's boring when one alliance is killing the map all the time, AD included.

Plus the lag is at an all time terrible level.

I just came back from almost a years break - AD owns the map 85% of the time v rough stuff, every time I get on around prime time we have to take home keeps back from Yellow lol

and blues just dont exist aside from 1 guild lol

I watched you and a couple others killing people this weekend, I tried to chase you down and cc you to death, but each time you slipped through my fingers smh

Repair walls during fights is such a bait, turned and saw you and your friend bolting at them all unbuffed and repairing lol was like oh lord please dont *pop* rip

Yeah I've been seeing you around here and there lately. I feel like the map has been decently balanced lately and we've had some pretty good, big fights.

I think I was probably still on my StamSorc this last weekend but I have started bombing again in the last few days.

I'll usually play from about 7ish PM until 2-3 AM PST in my off days but man, this camp has been so boring. By like 11ish AD usually has a bar on everyone, by midnight it's like 3 bars AD to 1 bar EP, and thereafter the map ends up turning completely yellow. Except for DC who, I mean, I can't even remember what blues look like anymore. Are there any of them left?

Yeah I'm all for winning the campaign and all that, but to completely paint the map all one color just kills it and sucks all the fun out of it.

Our lead is so huge at this point I just laugh at people when they talk about needing our scrolls or home keeps back.

Yesterday was fun because the only thing we had on the map was Alessia for awhile and it was the last emp keep.

Yup. My husband's definitely a bit more "rah rah AD" than me, but I'm still happy to help defend (I actually secretly enjoy the huge keep defenses ngl) or push when the other side is putting up a good fight. Don't feel it so much though when we have 10k+ on the second place alliance half way through the campaign though. Then late at night you also get groups still taking all of the EP and DC inner keeps even though we have all the scrolls and emp and everything else. Then everyone gets bored and starts PvPing in zone chat because there's nothing else to do.

And of course the first night of my workweek would be an active night haha. You watch, next time I'm off I'm gonna log on and everything will already be yellow lol

Spent like 3 hours trying to dethrone yesterday at Roe // Blues took one of AD scrolls (dropped it a few mins later) and our guild took the other one, and combined both gated AD, and still you guys defended Roe with your lives. That was insane lol gg

Good luck with Midyear Mayhem everyone!

That was a hell of a 3-way fight, very fun! There's nothing I love more than defending Roe as the last emp keep.

Yay us! White square has emp! Wth!
