The Haderus EP group is most certainly not a zerg. We spread out and fight individually and then come back together and support each other as a unit when the orders are given. Usually this is either because a blob of AD is pushing in to our resource/flag - or because it has been decided that we sufficiently killed enough of them in a short enough time that we can push out and wipe them before their reinforcements arrive. We usually have less than one full raid and normally those numbers are spread out each with different tasks. Every single member of our group is often given very specific tasks to carry out, often times by themselves or with a single partner.

If you see us 'ball up' or get tightly together and push -often times it is in actuality a bluff to make you -THINK- there are more of us than there really are. What you perceive as a zerg is frequently a mere ten people who are trying to bluff you into turning and running or hesitating for long enough to be killed off so as to even the playing field and put our group on more even footing to successfully accomplish whichever goal has been selected. We are a tight unit and we do not enjoy when our party members die, so we often do what we can to ensure that casualties are at a minimum.

I have been an AD player on Haderus for about 3 months. Hours have been spent at the infamous KC mill etc. The native EP group is just as Blackthorn51 describes above.

The thing I find remarkable (and a bit sad) is that the EP guys come back day after day and do their thing even though they know that any success will be short-lived since my fellow AD believe that every single resource and keep should be yellow all of the time.

I have a great deal of respect for the EP on Haderus. I won't go north of BRK anymore. Blackthorn51, if you guys want to meet in the middle somewhere and duke it out, I'll be there. Otherwise I'll just wander over to Thorn to find a semi-level playing field.

Ezareth... whats going on with you? Was yesterday just a bad day? Usually we go toe to toe for a long while then you put a nail in my coffin. Right before you logged we were 1v1... did you just give up or want to suicide?

I was trying to suicide to go turn in quests and log as evidenced by me trying to kill you with my sword while still maintaining my shields (=

Then that VR1 templar came and ruined my fun, but yeah I can barely stand to play on Haderus any more. Same names, same turtle tactics and a ton of terrible pugs running around on my side make for very boring PvP.

You guys all know me and my tactics so I get either a feast (Zerg) or Famine (no one) to chase any more. I think several of my guildies are feeling the same and are looking elsewhere come next week.

Ok makes sense now.... was like wtf... even a false sense of accomplishment. Had to ask since it was so out of character. Well we had some good fights but i can understand looking elsewhere. As of late it seems to be a new trend to feed on me, its still makes me laugh knowing how funny it is to do that to someone but after half a dozen times im laughing with a wimper or two thrown in.

GL to you all if you decide to move

Your local DK scrub out

That's me! I try to feed on you often. I use mostly ranged skills, so if I see you flapping, and there are a couple allies near me, I'll feed on you and pray to god they have the presence of mind to kill you while I do it. If they don't then I immediately try to run away chanting "Please don't kill me, please don't kill me, please don't kill me."

Lol miya... at first i just thought you were hungry and had a good laugh at my own expense. But then i realized your appetite for DK blood was very stong, i lost count how many times i was helpless while having my blood sucked and being mauled by your comrades. Was very entertaining to me and i was really trying my best to avoid it but couldn't. I can only imagine the laughs you all got out of it.

Ah yes good times indeed and dont worry i don't kill ppl i just try to outlive them

Good fights, see you on the battlefield

Your local dk scrub out

I can assure you many laughs were had. I only recent realized I could do it. I am a fairly new vamp, and for some reason I assumed I wouldn't be able to in Cyrodiil. I was very pleased to see that I could, and may have gotten a bit blood-crazed. I would say that I'll try to control myself in the future, but the thirst is strong.

If I do my job right you won't be seeing me, but rest assured I'll be seeing you.

Oh and before you say anything about the PvErs coming to clean it up, you could just steamroll them with your guys' doctorate in Oil. cough Vortex cough

My oils! My beautiful oils! :'( WHAT HAVE YOU DONE ZENIMAX! I went to college to learn how to dump oils ya know... and now with the implementation of these new fangled oil laws I'm gonna have to revisit the great oily masters to train me in the way of the 6 meter oil drop. Then I'll gladly go back to steam rolling...or should I say oil rolling, PvErs.

I'm still waiting to see this "10 x" your number of AD. At most it is 1.5-2 times your number when we take keeps. The number of AD never jumps to 2 bars unless you guys stealth cap a home keep or scroll. Your numbers have been steadily growing day by day while the number of active AD continues to dwindle

Man.... it seems like you're in so many places at once that you might as well count as 10x our numbers.

And unfortunately for the past week it's been jumping up to two bars relatively easily, if we do something as little as take Kingscrest or Farragut the AD pop jumps up to two bars. We don't have to touch scrolls anymore to draw people in.

I really miss the days when it was just our small group against Tyn's group with you randomly porting around nuking people on siege weapons... /sigh

I kind of like Pixy because he plays on Haderus, same with Ezareth.

Now let me tell you why I don't mind Ezareth, but want Pixy to gtfo.

As much as you all hate Ezareth, bla bla bla, at least he PvPs on Haderus, I know he sometimes switches between Had an Thorn, but he's still been a regular on Haderus for almost 2 if not 3 months now. It always brings a smile to my face when I see a regular become Emperor.

Noow onto Pixy.... I've been PvP-ing on Haderus longer than most of you, I homed it the day we got the new PvP campaigns, and I can tell you, up until we got a few extra EP over here, he was never on this campaign, he came to defend his buff server once or twice, then boom, he was gone... When someone like that decides to step in front of all the regular AD players that annoys me. An emperor should be someone dedicated to their campaign, not the person who could batswarm/impulse down the most people and hoard the most points within a few days.

How was PvP last night? Was only on briefly then had to leave for PvE stuff. I wonder how 1.5 buff changes are going to play out here.

I'm no longer able to run out and place an oil beside you while you're fighting :'(

Only major annoyance is the lack of camps, but you don't die sooo...

Lol that was hilarious. Two people and a pot keeping an entire zerg away from the keep.

Last night we had this weird standoff going at KC. EP took the mill as usual and proceeded to siege. At the point I arrived the outer wall was down and there was combat inside the keep (inner wall was never breached). So they were taken down, came back, holed up in the corner tower a bit. After I died and returned (from Arrius, yay), I found we were exchanging siege weapon attacks from the adjacent sides of the breach. After they were taken down again (initial EP group was just 3-4 people), we fixed the wall a bit. They proceeded to siege from the mill again and one of our guys would go jump them and we would repair the wall a bit and this repeated for awhile. At this point they just had one siege weapon, so this process quickly got boring. Then I think they got reinforcements and we got tired of fixing the wall over and over again so we left the keep and started our assault. I think we had around 12 to their 8 or so, definite advantage to our side. We traded siege and arrow fire for a while. After that was getting us nowhere people on both sides got bolder about approaching the other side. We didn't have too many deaths but eventually Galalin was making regular forays to the center of our group and Vortexman was around too, as well as another DK and some sorcs that made it interesting at least. We at least had the keep to respawn at by then, but I think I saw they briefly had a FC on the tower. I don't know what happened to it but it was down soon after even though it was near full health. Ultimately we took the mill, overall it took an hour or so to complete.

I think people are still working out the tactics, but last night numbers were low. Lots of people still downloading and installing the update, I guess.

I admire the tenacity of the EP on Haderus, and as a general rule, I don't attack other faction's closest 3 home keep either.
BUT, do understand, Haderus is an AD buff server, just as Azura's is for EP and Chillrend is for DC. So yes, AD players will ensure that the campaign stays all yellow so they can get their buffs, and the EP players on Haderus play there knowing this. If you decide to play on any side of a buff server, you have to know there won't be a level playing field.
Hopefully with the new patch, the buff server thing will start to go away.

How is Werewolf with stem builds now?

The extra regen is nice, but as with most things I do, I went back to werewolf simply for the fun of it. For example, why do I use Dragon leap when it's a terrible ultimate that can easily be dodged? CuzZ I can flllyyy ***!!

Your. Welcome.

Do you play R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly" when you do that? This is making me think of this Swedish insurance ad featuring skydiving pets

I mean... You guys really do seem to hate me...

Nah nobody hates any AD out there. Just hate the situation buffs servers put us both in. There are a lot of cool AD out there. A lot of them have whispered me and we have had some good conversations. I have yet to get any troll whispers so that says a lot of the other side. Everyone loves the natives, it's the people who don't care about the actual server but show up to ruin it for "mah buffs" that people don't like. But that is not an AD thing, thats more of a global problem across all 3 alliances.

Tons of cool AD on haderus.

What is up with the front door of Farragut? It looks like there is a Silmaril or a small sun in it.
