Congratulations, EP! Victory in Thornblade [NA] Cycle 4.

TheBull · December 2014

Gratz! No one can lag the server like EP!

RedTalon · December 2014

Think its time for them to do awhile with the DC faction in pvp, simply put DC can no longer manage to kepe up with numbers, though still fun defending things when we have something to defend.

Gratz to DC for sticking it out despite being the lowest pop server 20 out of 24 hours.

Hopefully caps will be gone soon so that won't matter.

Subtomik · December 2014

and the AD wonders why they are despised? Every campaign cycle without fail, same group of NA players pull an all nighter.

Dont be mad now when you are sitting at your gates choking on the color purple.

Subtomik · December 2014

and i want to say once again, before the inevitable [snip] storm happens. I hold 0, ill will towards oceanic AD. Me telling you when and when not to play is ridiculous, the world doesnt stop spinning because NA goes to sleep.

That being said, the NA people who know who they are, you are the reason there are threads like "why do people seem to hate ad so much" etc.

Interesting. How did they let you run away with it?

In EU whenever a faction gets 2-3k points lead, it gets pummeled back to its gates by the combined efforts of the other two factions. Not combined as in communicating, but combined as in knowing to attack the faction in the lead to even the scores.

As a result, all factions are within 1k points of each other as we enter the final 2 days. Pretty existing stuff.

That said, congrats to EP in NA for their win

You'd think that..but nope. AD had no scrolls at one point and 2 Keeps and still got pummelled by EP and DC instead of them concentrating on each other. Gratz to EP for winning the campaign though.

DC with equal population to EP would be a powerhouse.

If DC had the same population as EP, then DC would have won the campaign three or four days ago. Player for player, DC is the best faction on the NA servers. I would gladly welcome their daycappers back to the game if it would bring some balance back to the game. At the very least, the low pop bonus algorithms need to be adjusted as DC is being robbed by the current system.

It only appears this way because the only DC left fighting on Thornblade are the ones crazy enough or skilled enough to fight totally outnumbered. So we have a solid average population skill base.

If a bunch of bad AD or EP rerolled blue, they would probably go back to their yellow and red toons after being steamrolled by groups 2-3 times their size.

It takes a strong group to reroll blue and stay blue because you will always be outnumbered.

But I commend all my fellow crazies that continue fighting alongside us in the blue faction

And I will treat anybody crazy enough to reroll blue and stay blue, like a brother regardless of past transgressions

Unfortunately Vice (who was planning to reroll blue) as I told you, has effectively fallen apart. We lost some key guys over the last week or two, and there is no real chance any are coming back in the near term (until lag and the like are fixed)

So its just me and a couple guys left. I got no problem fighting outnumbered, but we intended to bring 6-8, now its looking more like 3-4 at best.

We are used to fighting outnumbered, usually a group of us would be me, healz, ayrene, cesare, zetto, saphy, and a couple others on any given night. Rarely more. But with the loss of Saphy and soon to be Healz, I dont think we can bring a force large enough to really hold its own out there.

=/

So I dunno if its worth doing, I originally rerolled EP a couple months back when they were down, but largely got a cold shoulder once there. I got no problem coming to DC side by myself or with a buddy or two, but I barely can muster four people on a given night now. Because of this I find myself running with TKO more nights than I used to when I play. They I am sure are staying yellow.

If you re-roll DC, msg me or LordFixate or Grunt and we'll be happy to have you in the Legion of Mexicans. Some of us are still farming the Undaunted 2-piece sets (damn you drop rates!!!!!), too, so it would be easy to help level up and get dungeon skill pts, craft gear, etc.

My DC toon is a level 27 DK currently. Was a blackwater blade char, so its half baked right now, I know Ayrene and another guy were making blues but I dunno the status yet. Havent seen them since before the holiday weekend.

Ill have to talk to the guys, what few are left anyway.

Alomar · December 2014

Congrats EP it's been a heck of a campaign with ya'll, now let's go for the a third consecutive win

There are strong, unguilded DC out there you could add to your group. DC needs more competent guilds, don't let numbers stop you - I guarantee you that you can find 2-4 people you enjoy playing with to fill out your numbers.

They aren't your friends (yet) but there's so many unguilded PVPers on the DC side you will inevitably meet some people you like.

Thechemicals · December 2014

it hiding 24-48 people waiting for another 24-48 enemy raid group considered contributing to the war now? Some of you should not even be posting in alliance war. keep your secret wars that get you that top 10 to yourself, your only significant contribution is helping us lose.

3-4 people !! That is basically half a DC zerg! Come over and will be unstoppable!

Seriously if you do re-roll hit up Grunt or Fixate' in LoM for an invite.

david.haypreub18_ESO · December 2014

Good win! I've always felt the EP is kind of tough on itself, but two wins in a row should prove to everyone that we more than hold our own. Great work in putting out all those fires; it was great to see everyone working well together to defend Arrius, Farra, Chal, BRK, etc., one after the other. Good stuff!

EP has a huge number of organized groups compared to DC and AD.

EP groups that run regularly (almost every night):
Pride
Phoenix Rising
Vokundein
Crystalized's group
Red DiE

DC:
Brandon-zerg
Ms Jones's groups (might overlap with Brandon-zerg group?)

AD:
Old DiE?
WRX group (might overlap with old DiE?)

If AD and DC have more organized groups, then they are flying under the radar and are not super important. The ones I've listed make big impacts on the campaign- they can defend keeps against a horde of pugs and have no issue traveling across the map to do PVDoor maneuvers that actually matter.

You're a little off there. The organized groups that I know of are:

EP
Imperator Rebellium (Crystalized's guild)
Hijinx
Pride of the Pact
Havoc
Vokundein
Phoenix Rising

AD
Moonlight Crew
Decibel
DiE
Tamriel Knight's Order

DC
Legion of Magnus
No Mercy

Well done and well fought EP.

Agrippa thanks for the kind words, but I promise you no one is livid. The reality of us winning a campaign with our current population would take superhuman effort, we have jobs, families, wives, gf's, school etc etc just as im sure most of you all do.

None of us have the time to spare, nor the will to try and play this game "for the sake of victory in the alliance war"

We know we are outnumbered, and I personally love that I know that by and large the DC random fighting next to me is worth 5 banana's.

i would make a DC character if DCs PvE zones were not so awful(at least in my opinion)

i enjoy fighting DC more than AD for reasons already listed on this thread, and i always wondered what the zone chat was like:)

TBH, I found the pact zones and the later AD zones the worst. Grahtwood's just a mess of a zone and the Stonefalls/Deshaan area are clunkily assembled and slow to progress through.

The DC zones were the smoothest leveling areas for me aside from a few buggy (and now fixed supposedly) Alik'r quests.

Come join his almighty Lord Fixate (Lord of infinite titles) and bask in his admiration of my amazing accent
