First time I'd seen an emperor change too, only been PVPing for 2-3 weeks.

your sig makes a lot more sense now lol

Heh, yeah. I think that Ezareth is still the de facto leader of AD on Haderus at the moment, but not emp now.

I think he was reffering to your other part of the signature.

you know about using bow for pve

welcome to elder scrolls online btw, and you are doing it wrong

I, for one, welcome our new Fixate overlord!

Unfortunately I missed the main action due to being at work (Oceanic DC, FTW?!), but the aftermath was quite fun

The only impression you made on me was a poor one, as you aren't the original fixate, just an imitation and a poor one at that.

Come back again and there will be a solid group <note: I said solid group, not zerg> waiting that will use your guts as lute strings and send you back to your own buff server packing barkers eggs. You DC breton loving, cheese eating surrender monkeys.

How to play like Rylana, lesson 1:

Be at Sejanus (held by blue)
Be at front end of upper horseshoe.
Have full health and magicka, could survive the fall, instead watch a raids worth of blue coming up both stairwells wiping the other yellows.
Charge into glorious combat vs Braidas on the left stairs.
Be the last yellow to die, and die gloriously in a sea of blue.

I just charge an entire group with my greatsword just for the heck of it.

You now have a LOL.

Whether we were fighting blues, reds, or purple, I had a lot of fun last night. Our Bloodmayne defense was pretty epic and we had some good fights elsewhere too. Good AP for everyone.

Bloodmayne was cutting it too late for us, unfortunately. We tried to help, but our group had shrunk to only 8 and just couldn't make the impact we needed to break the keep.

Roebeck was a lot of fun for us, aside from one derping that cost us a tent and a full wipe. Deerrrrrrp.

OTOH, once we could recover, we were able to start cleaning the courtyard and putting some hurt on folks and doing some tent stomping. Playing hockey goalie on the eastern inner postern as blue was inside flipping flags and AD were desperately trying to get in was fun.

I'm pretty sure I got the last kill on Ezareth while he was emp before he was deposed.

Yeah it was a desperate attempt to my 20th or so camp in the last 30 minutes. It takes the best to dethrone the best. It always has. At least I wasn't asleep for this one. ( =

At least you guys haven't lowered yourselves to your allies level as of yet. There is no one in your guild that I feel soiled by interacting with as far as I know yet I've long ceased placing any trust in the integrity of others in this game.

I messaged the previous emp, who was escorting the AD scroll carrier he gave the scroll to back to the DC temple, that if he had a shred of honor he'd kill the guy carrying that scroll to which he replied "Honor doesn't mean anything in a video game....why do you think I took this name?"

Pretty much sums up the totality of my experience with DC so far in this game with the exception of one person who privately messaged me from ER back in Volendrung days saying how dirty he felt that it took his guild and all of DC and EP to take out the dozen guys on our side. Even after they dethroned us they continued to not let us out of our gates and not attack each other for a week. We'd take a single keep and despite owning the entire map, both factions would bring triple the players we had to assault that keep together.

The strong and the weak.

Stop spamming me with silver shards dammit, I am not a vampire!

>=/

In all honesty though, its nice to have a few people on this campaign that can actually kill me without a massive hoard behind them.

Funny enough, I dont think Ezareth ever actually leads the faction, they just sorta follow him around.

AS this one has said multiple times the mighty aldmeri dominion's armies are much like a herd of ducks. As such there is no true way to lead them as one might say, the 80 kajillion* vampire DKs with swagger sticks that No Mercy employs. Instead one simply flaps one's arms at them and hope enough end up in the general direction of the enemy. That is when those of us of more sapient abilities do what must be done for the glory of Queen Razum-Dar, and the payment of moon sugar cookies.

Eventually some of these ducks may themselves turn into a person as humble, and unskilled as khajiit and when this occurs it is said the Ebbies cry at the loss of one more level 15 to farm.

What that all means is that Ezareth has done quite a bit to try and be a good duck herder and certainly has done so with far more concern for the feelings of said ducks than some humble, but somewhat grumpy, hunter of vampires has done.

*Numbers may vary based on facts and or need for comedic effect.

anyone else realize that ezareth talking about himself as a one man wolf pack confirms my suspicions?




you may want to skip toon town ezareth, it can get pretty competitive, monkey quest is probably more on your level to be honest. you will get less upset playing it as it is a little more forgiving than the disney mmorpg

MonkeyQuest closed last month. Now I'm jobless.

And you spell Fluffykins 'Fixate'

Oh sweet mother of irony. A classic case of the Halo Effect. Eyes are turned blind to the precise thing one's own does when it is the others that do it. Also, you seem to think that you are strong. I assure you, the only damage you ever actually did as an emperor was us reminding people in voice chat, "Don't chase him, he's useless."

You were fully compliant to have a buff server and offered meager protest at best. But the moment there is competitive pvp, involving an AD faction that still outnumbers DC + EP and you are #rekt by 20 - 25 DC versus your typical banana hordes, you are utterly filled with protest.

You insist something about losing respect for us. This is laughable. Is a king concerned with the opinion of bacterium? (Spoiler: we don't care what you think .)

For one I was talking about Volendrung where despite being consistently outnumbered and teamed up on by both DC and EP we owned the map until they brought in zergs of players from other players on both DC and EP. Short of nightcapping a keep while we slept they literally couldn't take a thing from us without calling in the reserves from off campaign.

I played the next two campaigns and finished each of them rank#2 while playing mostly solo with no buff server yet I found that the organized groups I was fighting were all coming from other campaigns with buff servers. What got me to switch wasn't the buffs, it was the bonus 15% AP that I completely forgot about that by the time I homed on Haderus cost me roughly 3 million total AP (at some point that changed to 10% recently I think). I wasn't going to continue to gimp myself and handicap myself in PvP because zenimax couldn't fix this concept until 1.5.

I'm not fully "compliant" with buff servers and I was glad EP took Azura's for EP so all the factions would have the option to use one. The Ironic thing is I only started playing on Haderus fully because PvP was unplayable on Thornblade and the local EP did nothing but brag (undeservedly) about how good they were on these forums for farming pugs. Since I've started playing fully more and more people have homed here from all sides and that is a good thing as killing people behind their gate doesn't sit well with me and I enjoy being the underdog more than the overachiever.

I fully Welcome Hyjinx and NM to abandon their own buff servers and to fight on Haderus but I know they wont because it has always been about the AP farm to them and they know they're fighting people at a disadvantage. For me it is about PvP and that means putting myself in situations that actually try my skill which ends with me being outnumbered. That's why you don't find me in zerg coordinated groups farming pugs and PvErs while bragging about how good I am because I killed some guys who don't stand a chance. I've tried that and it is boring as hell and it isn't PVP in my book.

All in all you missed what I said. Having Hijinx and NM coordinate together against a smaller force of AD (We were outnumbered at Roebeck and I have video of the entire attack to show that) isn't what I'd call "competitive PvP". I wasn't protesting at all, merely speaking with pride and perhaps a bit of amusement that it took so many of you to take a keep from a "useless" emp and a bunch of carebears.

You also mistook my losing respect for NM. I've never had any respect for NM or any guild that harbors known exploiters. I only grew to respect the one player I've spoken with who wasn't so full of himself that he needed to insult people with tells because he couldn't kill them. That respect was subsequently lost the moment that player decided to log on his alt and steal a scroll for a campaign he cared nothing for.
