AD THORNBLADE NA from the sidelines

*excuse my english i dont speak very well but i will try to get this out there*
(this was pieced together from alot of sources pve and pvp)

i was a part of Ladys "44" group so no one too Elite but we were a small re-con/support raid for a guild that recently has gone "rouge" we heard and did alot for and with that guild and heard alot of the politics that went on in the council back when that was around

now before i get into what i wanted to post i wanted to give some back story

it was a time when AD was under immense pressure troll camping,double teaming.bugged score board, EP and DC got thousands of free points AD was supposed to LOSE but because a council was born AD had become more united then ever

and the game really felt like everyone was a part of something i had gone from a normal every other day player to someone a little more important in the server i log on and feel like there is the militia every war band was on the same team speak i would scroll down the TS and i would see all the biggest players anonymous,Perichor, Margarete,Lady,Moon Die, at one point i saw some alacrity etc etc. it was a blast being able to talk to some amazing players from the game and really change my build around theirs and the groups would pick up a lot of strats from every party anyway you get the point... unity was perfected and victory was achieved during ADs most crucial hour

so i ask in zone after being gone from the game for about a month where is lady i was typing 44 in zone and they told me he hadn't been on for a month i look at the boards and the guild i was originally referring to isn't there i ask where are they perhaps another server and then i was told they had moved to another faction i asked why and in tells from several people i got different answers it went from they didn't get the amount of hubris from us anymore to they just want to play the game in a different way to they want to make a point etc etc

now i see a lot of hate towards them on the forums and i see especially alot of hate towards them in zone i dont believe they were just farming emperors in AD because i saw them for every keep defense for the entire game since they first arrived in wabbajack every time i would type die in zone chat for a scroll quest and peri would have some awesome advice about pvp he and they made suicide resource a faction wide strategy now that does not sound like a farming guild that is a guild that really contributes to the faction i mean for crying out loud they paid for a team speak for us "pugs" as some have called me

i don't blame them for leaving i hope they are having a better time then here in AD and i hope they are more respected there because the trash talking in AD is getting old and i hate when so many people in our faction have so much to say about the guild and they aren't in it idk

and the best part and the worst part is the guild doesn't defend itself either they left the faction in the dark they take all the heat from people

and one last thing i noticed a lot of calling out in zone chat about skeles are here skeles are there accusing them of zerging so i get to one of these locations one day and there are about 8 of them and AD zergs them with about 25 and then goes on and says they suck the faction is better without them

AD lost its first camp since they left on a major server.

"they left to be on the winning team" i think they were leveling their alts it takes too much time to coordinate that and the one who posted this all i have to say is thats a pretty lame excuse because your guild didn't win it for us either its not that they left to be on the winning team as much as it is your guild didn't do a thing about winning

and thats my last point i asked in zone one day for a forward camp i got a tell form peri ill send you 5 right now and then in zone "Venatus will send you forward camps" i just think its a little propaganda if your like me and not in a main guild just pugging around solo ganking etc dont believe what you hear about the guild just look at the boards and put the pieces together AD lost a great guild and i have a feeling that it has a lot to do with the political parts that we don't know about and the current AD guilds aren't willing to tell STOP the hate STOP the rumors START building the faction the way they did and maybe ill agree that your guild is better then theirs


good luck

and again excuse my english and my typing

    "Venatus will send you forward camps"

    Wat?


    I dunno why everyone hates on DiE. Sure they left the faction, sure they had their reasons. It was funny at the time, times passed, they are Red DiE now. They have a stock pile of excellent players who also did a tremendous amount for AD during their time there. Saying otherwise makes you look like an idiot.

    They farmed this, farmed that.. shaddap. Everyone farms. Cyro is Farmville.

    A lot of the negativity and arse gravy that surrounds DiE during the end of their AD stay was down to certain individuals, and only them. I think its unfair to taint a whole body of good players just looking to play, over the actions of a few.

    DiE is a solid group, Pact is glad to have them. If AD knew how much we hated them being AD, I doubt you guys would have let them go.

    Good post, your English wasn't bad. AD definitely let go of a good guild and EP is happy to have them on board with us! Honestly though I think EP needed another organized group.

    At the end of the day, the way I look at the whole DiE fiasco/situation is that they are free to do as they will, as are all players. They wanted to go red, alright, more targets for my AD toons, more allies for my EP toon, works out either way.

    But to those reds that are now lauding their new acquisition, do not forget that it was on these very forums where said guild was subject to ridicule and hatred, threats of being reported, exploit accusations, farming accusations, cheating accusations, and so forth. You give me the impression that its only wrong for those things to happen if its done to you, but okay if its done for you.

    Thats not to say DiE is guilty of any of it, but it is the mentality I am hearing from EP the last day or so.

    "Yeah we branded them an axe murderer and *** when he was watching julies kids, but hes such a nice guy when he watches mine"

    Think about how hollow you all sound, and by all I mean specifically anyone anywhere who accused or complained about DiE doing anything when they were part of AD. Dont be those people.

    @ OP, you sure typed a whole lot but what is your reason besides (paraphrased) "some of those guys were cool to me and/or positively impressed me." If that's basically all you're trying to say, that's fine. I guess the main outcome is you feel better for saying it?

    I don't really care what people say about them in zone chat. It actually helps to add a little flavor to horse-riding sessions. So they are a group of players who seem to enjoy stealthing up together then bum rushing and spamming AoEs with varied success. I don't really care as long as we get the satisfaction of killing them from time to time, and we do. :-P

    DiE and co were on Haderus the other night, I noticed they climbed the leaderboard very quickly in a small amount of time due to a successful farm they had going at Sejanus, I was amongst the fray in the battle when they got wiped. Good times! But that was it, nothing more for me, just good times.

    Having DiE as an enemy or in the same alliance means nothing to me. I'm guessing there were <reasons> for the move, and since I don't know what those reasons are, I couldn't give tinkers cuss one way or the other.

    He moved, big deal. I'm not paying for anyone's sub but my own.

    It was always fun playing against them when they were AD, and now it is fun playing with them now that they are EP.

    Every other player out there is just like yourself, someone looking to spend some time with some comrades, and feel like they or their character got a little incremental gain over the nights fun. People get jingoistic about their faction but it's silly, we need each-other to have a good time in this game, and there is no point in driving people off.

    I mostly agree with ghost, there really were some chill dudes in AD DiE. Then there were a couple people who you kinda just wanted to throw a rotten tomato at. I think a lot of the angst against them is that they are a good guild, who left when a few other groups disbanded. That left a hole in AD. Also a lot of people feel they steered the faction the wrong way the last few days of the previous campaign. I didn't play the last three days so I have no clue if that's the case. Accusations of farming are just petty, oh DiE is farming at Sej, well guess what holding AD at Sej keeps us from hitting elsewhere. If you let yourself get farmed it's your own fault I promise their are at least five other places you could attack.

    Same thing happened back when Divine Reapers were around, guild drama just became too much of a hassle, mainly because we were the quiet ones and not flaming in zone chat and constantly trying to defend ourselves in the forums.

    A locked campaign should never have to rely on a particular guild. Communication is key, if you want to win - have all the raid leaders coordinate together.

    To those that drove DiE away from AD, I propose some questions:

    How do you feel now that you are getting rolled by them?
    AD seems to be having a hard time nowadays. Do you still think the faction is better without them?

    Your faction lost a very good guild. They work together better than most EP guilds and so far we have yet to experience any of this "drama". They earned our respect when our guilds went at it and after two wipes by us and on the third they got us, Anon complimented our guild. In Phoenix Rising we play by the idea that we know we are playing a video game, ridiculous as it may sound; we play this game for fun to escape the daily grind. Some people on Pact are of lesser intelligence and we forgive them, but as a whole our faction works well together. We lost some solid PvP guilds over the past few months and DiE is a great addition for our side to solidify our dominance over the Covenant and Dominion.

    I mostly play AD on Thornblade, and I always found DiE fun to PvP with and fun to PvP against. Glad they're still in PvP regardless of the faction.

    If any of them (or anyone else) was to role an EP or DC toon for Blackwater it would be highly appreciated though :3. It's degenerated into a complete horrorshow in the last week or so for EP, and it's been a horrorshow for DC for a while. It's not just some sort of AD dominance either, but just not have enough pop to

    Which is unfortunate as Blackwater is normally a pretty good campaign to play on. Enough people for good fights and battles, but not enough for lag spikes.

    I'm really glad that DiE is taking the fight to Hadreus too. I've never liked the idea of buff campaigns, and it would be nice to have another competitive campaign, especially if that one is on a shorter campaign duration.

    Have not actually seen us get rolled by them, lose some fights, win some fights sure.
    We are having a hard time because we constantly attack both factions at all times so in return you both attack us. Numbers alone make that a losing battle usually.
    Never said we were better without them myself but also do not care they are gone. Get to kill them some now, more targets always nice.

    What a load of nonsense.

    What some AD seem to be forgetting, and the other factions are just plain ignorant to, is the fact that DiE earned all of the ire they'd drawn.

    The only people that drove DiE out of AD were the bad apples in DiE.

    End of story.
