I'm thinking that might be a part of it as well. Though I'm wondering how much longer people are going to be putting up with the server crashes and lag fest that is known as Thornblade.

Zenimax implemented a very good plan for solving the lag on their end by introducing this new 30 day campaign which would spread out the player base a bit more. However that plan can only go into effect once people spread themselves apart from Thornblade. So until they (the players) realize that the only immediate fix that they're going to get is switch campaigns (not everyone of course, but a decent number of guilds from each faction), then we will be able to have competitive play on 2 servers and only have to worry about the buff servers and guesting problems that NM and EG created which resulted in the death of Chillrend.

Although if we're going to do this blaming thing then we really have to go all the way back to 1.3 where all the OG campaigns were done away with (back when there were 2 or 3 active and healthy campaigns) and Zeni decided to implement these weird rotation of campaigns. If anything they should just go back to the old days where we had 8 campaigns to choose from and have them the same amount of days. Then I could go back to Dawnbreaker and enjoy that as it was a really fun and healthy campaign when I was playing it.

But in all seriousness I hope people are just waiting to cash in on the end of campaign rewards that are coming up in a week and then go and flip over to Azura's Star because when it was first announced there was a lot of hype over it and all I'm seeing is a bunch of the same people who hyped it now coming on the forums and just complaining and flaming at Zenimax to fix a problem that they've already laid a temporary solution for.

TLDR: GO AND PLAY ON AZURA'S STAR INSTEAD OF COMPLAINING AT ZENIMAX!!!

AD already has a buff server. It's Haderus ;p

But seriously, people bawled and squalled. They still bawl and squall complaining that Chillrend is dead when it was the second highest pop-locked server. Now everyone's whining because it's dead and DC has it to themselves.

Stop whining and DO something.

For a long while EP on Had gave up on the notion of holding anything more than their gate. Heck that even seemed impossible sometimes. But now you have the die-hards skilling up, gearing up, getting strong enough to match the xploiters and 24-hr hardcases that pitch a fit if a single resource node (which don't give points anymore nor contribute to overall score...). We might not be able to take the inner ring, but what we do take we can hold for a long time until increasingly higher numbers of zerglings arrive for us to farm for points.

It's a feeling of immense satisfaction when you're able to turn the tables on that one person you dreaded facing, the guy who ganked you almost nonstop until you got good enough and now the kill ratio is reversed.

This is a player driven game above all else. It needs the players to do something. If you think the game is going to play itself you're just going to end up like that guy who thought he could walk away from the steering wheel of his RV to go make a cup of coffee and assumed it'd keep driving itself.

NA...people are crying and moaning about how Thornblade is always a crash fest or is a huge lag fest at night and won't even bother with the new 30 day campaign that Zeni has offered them. They won't reduce the number of campaigns down already, that was their first mistake and they sure won't make Blackwater Blade and Thornblade the only two campaigns available to play on. What I still just don't understand is why some player bases won't relocate to Azura's Star so that they can get a full raid group instantly and don;t have to sit in queue for an hour or even more only to have it crash a half hour later.

That was pretty much why my guild left Wabbajack back in the day and switched over to Dawnbreaker. We didn't want to sit in queues to wait for our raids to fill up and wanted to enjoy pvp instead of the wabba lag or wabba queue that was going on. The end result was Dawnbreaker becoming a popular but fun server that, while not pop locked 24/7, challenged Wabba every now and then for the most popular server spot.

All I'm asking is that people do the exact same thing and move to Azura's Star. Organize some sort of player base server reset (where blue and red get everything back, emp is deposed, and start from scratch) and go from there. When Zenimax took down BoS and created AS they planned on people going there upon release to make that another competitive server. I just don't see why everyone refuses to utilize it and enjoy the game instead of putting themselves and everyone else in a situation where the game is literally unplayable from the PvP side.

Get real, as soon as anyone tries to take Azura Star ALL of AD will swarm it to protect the buff server

i know. Why some guilds need to go do it.

I'm really not sure as to why people would rather complain at Zenimax for their inability to maintain a stable server with pop lock on all three factions when they introduced an entire new 30 day campaign to hopefully have people move over there and relieve the stress that everyone is putting on Thornblade.

It baffles me that people would rather wait in a queue and deal with these disconnects and crashes instead of moving to Azura's Star and creating another fun campaign that is competitive without server lag or the fear of getting stuck in queue. All I'm seeing is a bunch of QQ when Zenimax has offered a solution with 1.4 in a new 30 day.

Are there any guilds out there that would move to AS after this rotation of Thornblade ends in order to ensure pvp without needing to wait hours in a queue?

I was away from pvp for a couple of weeks catching up on the new pve stuff (blasphemy, I know!).

When I finally got caught up and went back to cyrodiil, Thornblade was a triple pop-locked poop slide show.
Yet, Azura's Star was empty, I don't get it.
Zone chat was overflowing with QQ about lag and crashes but, did that stop them from overloading Thornblade? nope.
QQ moar!
esp after that fail "interview" with BWheeler, the natives were quite restless

So if I can find anyone on DC who still pvps, maybe I can convince them to go over to AS with me.
Unfortunately, the chances of finding anyone is getting slimmer by the day.

People like action, and they like to win. Numbers seem to do it for both. So, everyone bunches up in one campaign.

I suggest setting a maximun number for a campaign's queue when the population is maxed. Once this number--say 10-- is reached, you can't be placed in queue. Tell the player to try another campaign.

This might encourage players to go to a different campaign to stir up trouble.

Since the server is bugged, there no real point in blue or red trying, the scrolls are not obtainable.

Fighting a DK Vamp Emp is not much fun either.
WTB coder at ZOS who can "accidentally" buff silver shards again. Will pay same price I paid last time...

Once we start having more than 2-3 great organized guild per faction who can accomplish objectives successfully everyday.

1 would be an improvement for ep

Indeed, it would help EP alot. This is kinda sad that EP is winning Thornblade with 2k lead still with 3days left on the campaign without any decent guild and without night capping like AD, without morning capping like DC at all.

the score doesn't show the quality of your groups

What does the score shows professor Braidas ?

DC can barely pop lock TB. Splitting between two campaigns will simply result in getting gate farmed in both.
