Woah, woah, woah, is this really the Dawnbreaker I've played on since the start? Used to be PVE for AD, now 24/7 action and AD is bringing up the rear in scoring, yet strong play all around. DB is Reloaded.

Well, AD keeps pushing emperor instead of doing things that score the bigger points like, I dunno, keeping control of their own scrolls.

Yeah I did all my Cyrodiil PvE in Dawnbreaker before the reset, that wouldn't be as feasible today as there is actual action in the campaign.

Regarding the scrolls, we do have some folks with a scroll fetish… but most of us have an AP/Emperor fetish.

Well, I can honestly say that we're making you guys work for it.

Well if we could be in 2 places at once we may have got the other scroll also :P
But I think we both know what the situation is regarding the score in this campaign, so decisions were made.

Well, you did NEARLY get Mnem back, but we pushed the force off the scroll and got it picked back up.

TBH, I wish we'd been able to pick up Sejanus before making that run. Oh well.

Those were 90% PuGs, not a force. I was a minute too slow on the camp >.<

AD is extremely disorganized to be fair. There are two main groups, one of them being BDG and for the most part we do everything while the other guys follow us around the map. Everyone else just seems to do random stuff and cant take a keep or hold it for the life of them.

Its not meant to insult my own faction, but honestly I never see anything happen til our guys are on.

Example: Last week when we took three imperial ring keeps in about an hour, while the entire rest of the faction (about double our numbers) got repeatedly wiped at Fare. DC was putting up very heavy resistance, but for whatever reason we could get through them, but the reds at Fare were making the rest of yellow look soft.

I dunno, its not like the same 20 people can be on all day long and night too.

Well QT and whoever that other group is they do try stuff from time to time but it's hard to get anything done when the emp tunnelvision turns on

Not like the campaign score means much, when they put in the new system "soon" they will end them anyway.

At least its competitive, vs what dawnbreaker looked like last cycle.

BDG aka back cap and wait for people in sneak even if its 20v3. What a fearsome guild.

lol what??

Were you not at the Chalman defense yesterday? The biggest blue zerg, like ever, since beta and a sizeable force of red vs 20-25 BDG, and we held out for how long?

>_> Wait, since when is AD getting pwned by "superior numbers"

Is this the twilight zone?

Surely sitting up in a tower full of oils and spamming swarm/standard/impulse in a keep you don't even care about is much more fearsome.

Don't get so self righteous man.

I dont think I was at chalman yesterday. And I definately wasnt in a tower spamming impulse and swarm.

As far as AD getting pwnd by superior numbers, happens everytime Im fighting them at least.

Pretty sure you were spotted at kingscrest at least once and ash defense at least once. In both cases blue got wiped pretty handily more than once.

Cool story. I was attacking Ash for a few waves last night but not on defense, and we didnt take it. I fought red for a little after that by arrius. Thats about it. I was sorta busy all day yesterday.

Fail to see how any of it would be relevant anyway. I play with a small group of players anyway. Anyone whos fought me enough knows that too, from both sides.

Adventures of Kailiana, chapter one (the failed scroll heist)

So just hanging out, sieging a little Ash, getting pushed back by double DC numbers, the usual.

Red takes their scroll out of Rayles. We decide with only 12 guys to try for Glademist and get our scroll back.

Breaching walls is always fun. Oh hey some blues, oh of course the soul assault, man its like you guys only have one ability. Anyway, get inside, omg im not in combat YOINK. I have the scroll. And get immediately prawned by NPCs. Oops.

Anyway I get a rez, and I sit on it, and I watch blue roll out the door, and a certain blue templar starts trolling with the scroll, running up and down the stairs.

I wait for my glorious opportunity and I rez and hide. I hide well, so well in fact that when blue is gone... i get an idea...

So the scroll is out of the question, theres only three of us still dead inside, and the walls are repaired, stupid OP NPCs. Anyway, we hang out til the coast clears. The original idea was to of course steal the scroll and take it on the roof with oil inside their own house, but OP NPCS are OP.

A blue guy decides the corpse of my fallen comrade makes a good seat. I rez my other comrade, and we proceed to gank the living hell out of him three feet away from the scroll INSIDE GLADEMIST like bosses.

Noob.

So we rez our fallen third man, and proceed to play cat and mouse with the people the ganked person cried to get.

At least 15 blues are running around Glademist at this point with magelights and butthurt.

I finally fall, OH NOES.

It happens, but to the blue guy that seemed to have problems with his control key over me - it took 15 of you to kill the three of us decisively in your own home keep.

Watching you hunt for us for over a half hour was the high point of lulz. Feels good man. Oh and you never did get all of us. One got away before i rezzed up, they just were outside the walls.

Are you really mocking BDG because we play as a group and wait for the stragglers to show up before plunging in so they can have some fun too?

No wonder your faction is always low pop. I wouldn't want to play with you either if you always act like you're the hero and never allow others to contribute and have some fun too.

Uhh… I only PvPed for a couple hours last night, was never at Ash or Arrius and I'm pretty sure I saw you at least three times. But ok.

kijima · July 2014

I will always remember the Chalamo!

Valnas trying to get emp,(the proper way, earned and not flipping) so close yet so far away it seemed. AD tearing down the walls with blue behind us with a well orchestrated gank squad, tents up everywhere from all factions spewing out people non-stop. Good times.

It is true my presence can be felt far and wide. Just because you were dying doesnt mean I was there though.

The Adventures of Kailiana, Chapter 2 - Hugging with Fire Runes

So in our adventures today, after an epic siege defense of Ash, BDG comes across this Covenant camp near Bleakers. Red is currently sieging Bleakers, so we thought we would help the Covenant out with some nice warm Fire Rune hugs and massage their feet with some caltrops.

Their camp was lonely too, so we placed our own next to it.

Those EP guys were pretty ungrateful and tried to kill us and our camp after they took bleakers, despite our amazing assist, killing like 8 blues trying to respawn, but we shared some hugs with them, too. Their oil made for some good fried chicken after.

runagate · July 2014

Rylana, I'm glad for your stories as they confirm many of my impressions of what's going on from my limited point of view.

The amazing AD defense I personally witnessed recently was the scroll run, I can't even recall which scroll it was but before it got picked up I want rushing across the entire map on my horse, casting maneuvers the entire way and got there as it got picked up and was just outside wherever it had been held. I ran and ran and ran, picking off stragglers in my way (how on Nirn the main mass of about 15 people didn't notice me and turn on me I'll never know, I was just extremely lucky).

Eventually I got killed and rezzed somewhere and went charging back, picking them off as I went (do not get the impression that I just wiped out those I encountered! it was a ridiculously hard slog) now occasionally encountering other DC that had apparently dropped what they were doing to ambush AD but whom I happen to have never met before) but with a slightly larger force running around we got more attention from the scroll-running group and eventually got wiped.

But there was a lot of territory left, so without any FCs anywhere on the AD part of the map I dismounted and cast maneuvers over and over and over til I finally caught up from the West and went flying at the scroll-carrier and they dropped the scroll (did they die or decide to drop it? I don't know I was a tad busy, could even have been EP that I couldn't see) and it was so unexpected I think no one even fought back right away but of course still rather stopped my Hail Mary stalling tactic right as a ton of EP showed up out of nowhere.

So while dead, I had the pleasure of watching EP burn the nearby camp, and fight an amazingly chaotic, huge battle in the middle of nowhere, but AD got a camp up again and, surprisingly, still won despite such an impressive ambush.

It was so fun I /w an EP to ask them to let me know what happened further down the trail. Apparently EP managed to harass them all the way back down towards AD's corner but eventually some other AD that weren't even bothering to help eventually decided to run the short ways over to the fight and help finish them off.

Some of the best open-field fighting I've ever seen, particularly interesting as I daresay no battle has ever even taken place in that nameless nowhere land. Certainly I didn't have the slightest chance of preventing them from placing that scroll but, due to not being lazy, I got a great seat at an amazing fight.

I ran with BDG once, I didn't see any fantastic organization skills compared with who I usually run with, in fact I'd say it was less organised and less disciplined.

More zerg mentality to be frank, at least that was my experience.

No hes mocking BDG for being incompetent and hiding behind the other groups who are getting stuff done, then taking "credit".
All I see from them is them coming in after the main defense or offense is already over with.

And if I remember correctly BDG was the group that was throwing themselves into the meat grinder at chalman while the rest of AD defended every other emperor keep.

The Adventures of Kailiana, Chapter Three (The Successful Scroll Heist)

So there we were, tired and trying to pick our last objective before we called it a night. Remembering that we had tried to take the Scroll of Mnem back in chapter 1, guess what, we tried again.

Well we werent really trying to take the scroll, we were setting up a deathtrap for blues, but it all worked out nicely. We got our deathtrap, another group escorted a guildie right back to the temple with the scroll.

The highlight of the evening was red all coming in trying to gank the scroll from us, we werent having any of that, no sir.

However, our raid leader severely needs to take riding lessons, as he along with about 5 others got stuck in a hole (guilty, I did too, but i got out first!)

Total on the day, about 140k AP. notbad.jpg

nah mate. if you wanna say that BDG is the only AD on dawnbreaker doing anything and every other one of the numerous guilds are just following you around, then that's your prerogative, but every blue and red in this thread knows you're talking *** and so do the other AD.
