Blue - Why do you insist on attacking yellow? (NA Thorn)

reften · November 2014

Red has your scroll, red has a huge lead...just don't get it.

Ifthir_ESO · November 2014

Probably because 95% of Yellow is a bunch of zergers and need to be beaten into submission.

Aoe_Barbecue · November 2014

It is always Operation *** AD.

Agrippa_Invisus · November 2014

Well, when AD seems to regard Ash as a home keep and keeps backdooring DC while they press for their scroll to take Glade or push emp, I don't blame DC for getting a mite ticked.

OP, quit crying. As a member of AD, I am tired of these threads.

Want to know why blue pushes us? We...

1. Keep pushing for emp on their side of the map
2. Keep attacking glademist
3. Keep ganking them trying to fight reds at chalman
4. Keep trying to take Alma Ruma from red, while they have been doing so all week.

Tell me again why blue SHOULDNT be attacking us

k2blader · November 2014

It's weird when AD doesn't push blue at all for hours and blue still can't get their scroll.

Roechacca · November 2014

I just go where they tell me . Listen for MayDay cries of help and respond . It's the Army all over again . I would think no one has a plan but they don't pay me to think .

Cody · November 2014

Because the Aldmeri dominion is an infestation on the world of tamriel. Because your queen is an arrogant d-bag, because your faction loves to wait till maintinance times are coming, and cap everything before hand so you get free, undeserved points.

in other words, the AD sucks

Insurrektion · November 2014

Ty Rylana. This is a 3-way faction war and the op needs to understand it's nothing personal and any factions reacts in what it sees is the most beneficial move at the time.

Orchish · November 2014

Must be NA. We've been ganging up on EP tonight on EU. so much for Purple alliance

Vizier · November 2014

I attack both EP and AD as opportunity allows. I must say, there do get a warm and fuzzy feeling when killing AD though. It's just one of those things you can't put your finger on but you know it when you see it.

Ifthir_ESO · November 2014

I like how yesterday the AD zerg let EP take 3 of their keeps, just so they could take Bleakers, which they promptly lost to DC.

Derp brigade at it's finest.

Mjollo · November 2014

AD just happens to be getting double-teamed at the moment is all. It happens to every alliance at certain points just like it does to EP and DC.

Rylana · November 2014

The EP double team the other day was pretty funny (and im surprised it even happened considering AD beat the tar out of DC at nikel for most of the day)

EP down to just Arrius, DC fumbles trying to get their scroll, AD gets within 1 keep of crowning emp...

and no more green alliance, hence yesterday.

Columba · November 2014

AD pulse spammers must be eradicated.

Messy1 · November 2014

Priority target for DC =AD
First we usually plan how to attack the AD and cap their keeps. If we have to we will fight the EP when they show up. If AD has been subjugated then we will turn our attention to EP. It's the natural order of things!

"Tonight" being the entire duration of the campaign so far.

Because the guilds/groups don't get along. Having just come back to DC for the time being and playing my old main, I'm shocked that the guilds are this opposed to one another. Most of them argue instead of coordinate and the troll factor in zone chat is pretty bad.

Also Blue pugs have only really been exposed to EG zerg strategy, which as a strategy is valid if annoying to fight against. That puts them at a serious disadvantage due to no more forward camps and the fact that they themselves don't know when to stop face-planting themselves on Arrius walls.

The DC population has been going down due to people losing faith that they can actually do anything, I hope this turns around next campaign to keep PvP alive, but I doubt it.

To all DC alliance members and guilds, bring your friends to Cyrodiil and keep this aspect alive and kicking!

SoulScream · November 2014

NA thorn EP will win each time now till DC and AD stop pecking at each other so much. Fighting each other for second place is pretty common right now. If you want first go after it.

Goldie · November 2014

It was horrible last night... I watched as DC sacked Arrius for hours, they even picked up their scroll a few times. Finally my guild went and set up a siege on the opposite side, but DC still could not pull that scroll out. Eventually we started flanking the EP that were flanking DC, to try and help them along but it was impossible. So we captured every EP keep but Arrius and still, nothing. Eventually DC gave up and sacked Nikel after about 5 hours of the back and forth...

Simply put, we just have better players. Since the days of Wabbajack Cycle one the Pact have always been hit harder than either AD or DC. I have been playing in Cyrodiil since beta and PvP nearly everynight. The amount of battles fought on Arrius Keep compared to both Glademist and Faregly dwarf in comparison. These past two weeks during PrimeTime we are reduced to maybe 2 or 3 keeps with both AD and DC hitting us. Less QQ'ing and more pew pew'ing.

Don't make me post my screenies Lava

We DC felt ganged up on at the start of this alliance, then it was AD and now it's EP. These alliances are changing daily, what happened to loyalty?

Can't we DC and EP go back to making AD create more purple alliance threads?

With the state of lag in this game, this is actually a pretty awful strategy. Sure you get a few increased Points eval ticks, but you never get the keep you actually want.

I love Operation **** AD, more stuff to do that doesn't involve [snipping] Arrius.

As the worst and most prevalent impulse spammers and the faction the aided and abetted the skellie spam primates, I agree. We will continue to hate AD.

Group going after the scroll was only about 20-30. I was there with them the second run. I didn't see what happened to the person that picked up the scroll, but some of DC started pushing in to take the flag instead of running right out. I ended up dying in the confusion, and the scroll was dropped shortly after. The guy organizing the run then started yell at people for not helping.

I didn't go on the first call because the plan didn't seem like it had any support. I went the second time because they managed to touch the scroll on the previous run. I didn't join them after because the chat got ugly. Couldn't even start a discussion on what went wrong and how to fix it because of all the arguing. Then some players came in asking for help to save the buff campaign (Chill) and we argued with those people for a while.

To answer OP's question, a lot of DC is discouraged right now. And many are tired of banging their heads against the entire population of the Ebonheart Pact camped at Arrius. Many find it more fun to fight with AD, where of course the stakes are much lower.
