@Gaettusk,
What are you trying to prove here. First of all, you're basing your arguments on Thornblade (screenshots). What we are talking about is the flip that happen with Haderus (not last night, but the night before), who an EP claim it is Oceanics who did it. I was with the group that turned the map and this group was definitely not a zerg (a few groups who coordinated to slowly take back the keeps). I may be from an oceanic timezone, but I sure as hell grouped with people from the east coast/texans and washintonians (NA). This is personal experience, but it doesn't mean your argument is not valid. It is just not a GENERAL representation of what you are trying to paint here.

It was a monumental achievement for the one guy on the leaderboards who'd been consistently top place for being a outstanding player.
Then the babies showed up. I didn't recognize 2/3 the names I saw on the enemy side, but they didn't give us more than an hour to hold our prize before swarming on en masse to sweep the map again. The population bar didn't even go up to 2. Guesting, travel to player sissies. Well congratulations you got emp for someone who said in his own words that 'the majority of AD on haderus doesn't care about buffs they just want to get rank 3 for the week".
Glad to see you do so well on TB with all your prize buffs though.
And can I just add @GaettuskFurthermore, having one side so stacked, during the dead of NA night,only disrupts the balance of an already ailing PvP system.
And this is AD's fault, how? I get the impression that you (and others) think that we have some undermined plan from the beginning of the game to stack oceanic population in AD for the sole purpose of gaining leverage while NA is during a lull period. Wouldn't it also be the case that it so happens that maybe, just maybe oceanic population were spread out over the alliances in the very beginning. But up until recently oceanics from DC and EP dropped, and AD ones stayed. How is this our fault?

@Gaettusk
I think we needed to be on the same page here about the current events.
Official Post mention the first ever break in Sura as emperor with red doing a great push to clean the map. Great! Then AD took it back. Around post #16/#17, there was ANOTHER push made by reds to take over the map and succeeded (good for them, and I might as well add very well coordinated! I even congratulated them around post~#20). It was at this point that the discussion from Blackthorn claiming that we pvpdoor, and a whole set of blaming the Oceanics for flipping the map back to yellow. This is regarding the 2nd successful attempt of reds, not the first as what you are trying to make it out here to be
You do know that there is an edit button so that you can add extra comments to a recent post of yours, right?
I was here since early access, and let me inform you that DC and EP didn't have anywhere near AD's Oceanic population. Those mythical unicorns a.k.a. DC and EP Oceanics didn't disappear recently either:they never existed in the first place.

First: Yes, I am aware of edit button, and please see timestamped that I did edit them to add extra comments
Second: How is this our fault. We cannot dictate oceanics from picking their alliance. It just so happen that we attracted a lot of them. So now because of this, we are pretty much the bad guys?
Blackthorn51 wrote: »Its called numbers. And yes we very much did. I guess its hard for you to notice though when even as the emperor you spend 90% of a fight bolt streaking the opposite direction. For a brief time we had numbers. AD ran and logged out when they were faced with erhmergerhd an even match. They only logged back in when the EP force disbanded and only a handful of us were left online.. Says a lot about 'em doesn't it? Are you so deluded that you forget that the few of us Haderus Natives spend 8+ hours a day murdering the lot of you even when you outnumber us 10 to 1 and have an Emperor on the field with you?
No your right you guys have the skill. Oh wait sorry, I mistook skill for having 100% alliance war buffs. Even with all those buffs AD still gets the beat down.
"No we dont, we farm lots of AP off of you" Oh really? If by farm you mean you get 1/3rd of the enemy kills we do but you get 100% AP increase due to PVP buffs? You AD cant even stay on the top 10 (Bar 1 or 2 of you) in your own bloody buff server!
Our entire party logs out at the end of the day with 200+ kills and less than 50 deaths (Some with far fewer deaths). We earn far less AP per kill or per D-Tick than any AD player and yet we each have 2 or 3 times more AP on the leaderboards than 99.9% of the AD natives to Haderus. Yeah you guys are real skilled. Oh wait I mistook that again for sending 30 people to fight against 6 (and still takes you 3+ hours to wipe us out of a single resource because you twits keep running single file up the stairs and it usually takes you over an hour to realize there is a thing called flanking.)
I lol at you. I lol long and I lol hard. Every time you try to defend your skill, I need only watch your you-tube video to see where your 'skill' is.
Shield Stack, Bolt Streak in, get smacked in the mouth, bolt streak out. Rinse and repeat. Too damn funny to watch. Keep it up because an Emp who spends 90% of combat running away is nothing short of a joke. Thank you.

If there happens to be more Oceanics in AD than EP or DC, does it mean we shouldn't pvp because "it's not fair". Far out, if you care too much about levelling the population at all times, why don't you guys recruit more people from other time zones to defend or attack while you guys enjoy your sleep. Not our fault, there's people willing to pvp at their own time.
Besides, some people from NA also never sleep when you sleep, and sometimes stay up really late. You can't deny them the ability to pvp in off-peak hours just because it's not levelled population.

There's a solid core of very strong players, but for now all we can do is farm nodes. It's funny as heck though, because the previous emp would usually break up these farm sessions quite easily. Can't be said for current emp since he refuses to fight straight on without poofing across the landscape.
;/ you'd think if AD didn't want to be farmed at the LM they would just let us take the pizza slice.

We didn't get pushed out until there were only 6 or 7 of us left online (Not including a handful of Greenies). AD couldn't get back inside Kingscrest fast enough and omg was it funny watching them try. Eventually Emperor Bolt-Streak-Away-From-Battle showed up with a sizable force and we decided to call it a day and return to base after an hour or more of smacking him and his friends in the mouth. To their credit, I did not die a single time until they showed up. That said, welcome to the grinder AD. Hope you enjoyed today's blood bath brought to you by WCFC and M4D.

DKs don't have to deal with reflective scales and eclipse like a sorc does. Both of these abilities removes my primary ult damage source (Power Overload), my primary non ultimate damage Crystal shards, and eclipse removes all of my damage abilities except velocious curse. I don't have an AoE ability that is useful in PvP unless I go impulse spam which I refuse to do. I'm sure I could wipe groups with impulse crit surge and bats but that is the most overused and boring style of play I can think of. I prefer to do it one target at a time...and that takes time.
When fighting unskilled players an Emp DK can just focus down the people he identifies as easiest to kill to continually spam his ultimate. When you're Assault Rank 10 you get an absurd amount of ult for every kill, and with all the vampires you get even more. DK's just naturally synergize with double ultimate gain and it increases their scale of power exponentially.
That said I'm not complaining about Sorc Emp. I'm absurdly powerful right now and short of a serious screwup on my end or some delay/bug with weapon swap almost unkillable.
1 hour, no camps, solo vs idk how many reds, 12, 20, something high, 38 kills, 9 deaths (including 2 suicide dives off the wall), 21859 AP, 1 resource node full of NPCs shooting me.
FIREBOMBER CHARGGGGEEEEE
Chase based Rylana all the way down the stairs. Get rekt even though Rylana diededed.
Working as intended. DO NOT CHASE THE DK.
Collect kills/AP because you got tagged en masse and chased the DK into a trap.
=D

As annoying as you are some times Ezareth, this statement alone makes me respect you more than all those impulse spammers that jump over from Thornblade once their buff server is in jeopardy.
Please note, to all you AD that run up to me to try and kill me with impulse spams 1v1.. Ima make sure I smack some sense into you because it doesn't work...it just doesn't work.... honestly.... it just makes you look silly...

Well, running around Alessia for near 10 minutes with half a raid chasing you was particularly silly.
We were just trying to help you out! We were taking all that troublesome responsibility away from you!

I am rather enjoying the keep chases. It's always the damn NPC negates that end up doing me in, plus people are learning now how to counter. Running out of new exciting places to run / =
