2 days into the new 30 day war and DC retreats to another campaign?

bg22 · April 2015

So... you move to the empty campaign because you're already losing?

Mom would be proud.

Win no matter what, even if you're the only one playing. lol

Nice troll and bait thread

filmoretub17_ESO · April 2015

So after a close battle this month between EP and AD you can imagine my shock this morning when I logged into cyrodiil to find that EP owned absolutely everything on the map. And even now EP owns everything but 2 keeps. So crap all over AD and DC for completely abandoning their post in Thornblade and making it a crap campaign. Now everyone has to bounce around again until we can find another home where battles will once again be fierce.

ESO has never had so many players as it does right now and almost all campaigns are locked during peak hours. But right now only EP has thornblade locked and the other maps are looking normal. Then there is Haderus where AD goes to hide and be alone and do their thing instead of fighting for their place in Thornblade. Now this is turning into a switch campaign match because no one really likes to have tough battles they just like steamrolling.

Speaking only from personal experience, I avoid those "tough battles" and "fierce competition" anymore because I can't justify the frustration. If the servers were up to it sure, bring it on, but there is nothing competitive or skillful about lag. Lag reduces all to the lowest common denominator of RNG.

If you can find a place to engage in smaller scale skirmishes and resource battles on these massively popular servers, or if you are able to enjoy playing slideshow simulator 9000 on a high-end PC only to hear it blamed on your router, more power to you.

Me, I'll be patiently holding out for something better.

Smeag · April 2015

I think people are more likely running from the lag than anything else. Unfortunately said lag tends to move around as a certain group switches campaigns. Strange isn't it...

PCheuk38b14_ESO · April 2015

People are running from the Lag (Havoc) not running from fights. BTW nice troll/bait thread.

Cody · April 2015

Maybe they left because they got tired of the intense lag and all the other crap associated with that monstrosity you call a campaign?

there are campaigns besides thornblade that have competition you know.

blackwater blade, azuras star, chillrend.... heck the only real buff server left besides thornblade is haderus, and im pretty sure Imortali and all the other guilds will go back and liberate it again at some point.

so basically, thornblade will be the place to go if one has nothing else to go to. I would much rather stay in the non-vet and fight newbs, or go to azuras or chillrend with less pop, if it meant avoiding all the lag and all the other ridiculous crap associated with thornblade

Thorne was never a competition it was just a server where cheaters ran wild.

It's not just Thornblade. The lag is everywhere. Cool story tho, bro.

kevlarto_ESO · April 2015

Maybe they left along with others because of the lag, maybe because of the farm groups doing the same ole thing over and over no real ebb and flow or the feel of a pvp war going on, just people running around rocks over and over again, making thorny a very boring campaign, at least for me and my friends anyway, we just sit back and watch the craziness, and farm the farmers, but it is getting very boring, I miss the days of battles raging across the map.

I normally solo pvp... But I've been involved in some of the biggest, most fun, large battles that I've seen since launch just recently in the last two weeks.

I guess just right place right time tho.

Changing campaigns to a less populated one isn't going to change that. It'll be the same ppl. Same play styles.

its not in blackwater blade.

it was not in azura last i visited it

heck i bet some people may even end up going to haderus and trying it out.

I'm sorry if people don't want to come and be lagged to defenselessness so you can get easy kills, or so you can gate camp them for 8 hours straight.

you see, people play video games to HAVE FUN.

getting lagged to death certainly is not fun.

xDOVAHKIINx · April 2015

I'll give DC props for only recently leaving, AD left long ago. When the tough gets going AD crumbles. It seems as tho AD is dysfunctional without DC double teaming EP it's sad. I come from the days where AD took on both EP and DC

People are just so full of themselves they will come up with reasons for why they are loosing in the case for AD throwing in the towel I would say our guilds are not coordinated enough or just flat out good enough to win the campaign for AD on thorn.

...what? did you even read my response?

Maybe you got that from the "free kills" part?

yes, it is possible to do this with lag. its called caping the keep during intense lag when no one can do a thing. it has been happening since... what was it, 1.2? 1.3? no where did it imply EP is free of lag. you are putting words in my mouth that I never said.

why did I even respond to this....

/sigh

alright, iv'e wasted my time it seems. good night

We are a large DC guild who left and went to another campaign. Battles are just as big as were in Thorn. It's nothing like Thorn. The second day of the campaign in Thorn we all crashed to desktop at Chal when we stormed the flags and when we relogged ep was repairing. This doesn't happen in our new home, yet. And I stress yet because I am under no delusions that the BADS in your alliance will come wreck our good time there someday too. But for now get in the ap foodstamp line in Thorn because nobody wants to be around your faction anymore. Deal with it.

imredneckson · April 2015

I like this game and I want to have fun but when I get hit with so much lag that I cant play or enjoy the fight why play

olemanwinter · April 2015

OP is exactly right.

I home in the (or one of the) campaign/s where they all ended up. I was there when they all "popped in for a break" as they said and discovered no enemy resistance because of the time of day. They took 4 keeps with 16 people (which my guild did often at that time of day with 7 or 8) After all, as I said, there was no resistance at all. They felt so OP. I was in their TS listening to them hoot and hollar about how great they were. It was pathetic.

So, they all switched to where they felt they could compete better. Don't let them tell you anything otherwise, for it is a lie. They might have visited during a time of lag, but they stayed cause "Look there are no enemy here. We are so awesome against these NPCs"

Flash forward a few hours. The enemy logged on and wiped the floor with them. It's back to being 100% non-blue.

But they've already homed here. So, I'm not sure what will happen next. I expect it will probably turn into a "night/day capping" nightmare where the map flips almost completely twice a day. No real combat to be found. No strategy. No tactics.

They run their DC zerg until the enemy log in. Then they call it a night....and the enemy run their zerg back until they retake everything.

WHY I CARE: I actually wanted our low pop server to gain popularity. But I didn't want it to be dominated by zerg guilds. (even small uneffective DC zergs). I experienced lag again for the first time in this low-pop campaign. Already I hear complaints of exploiters.

You zerg-guilds (from all factions) need to realize YOU ARE THE PROBLEM. You keep running from lag and running from exploiters. They keep following you because you breed them yourself. Play the game differently, or just pick a spot and stay there.

FearlessOne_2014 · April 2015

FearlessOne moved to EU server to escape the exploiters that ZOS refuse to punish, confirmed. My absolute last ditch of effort with this game before I close the curtain on it for good, and never look back.

And you nailed it. Too bad they're too ignorant to see this. Even tho, part of me thinks they do realize it... But just use it as their excuse to move to an empty campaign.

Might as well just move to Craglorn, and "win" there. There are a lot more NPC's for them to "beat".

bg22 · April 2015

The worst part about everything is, by one faction completely running away they've made both of the campaigns completely and utterly boring. Go to Thorn, and the map is red which we won with a full population on all three sides..

Go to Azura's and the map is blue which they won against... an empty server.

Regardless of how it was accomplished, it's all boring as hell now. So, congrats if that was your intended goal. Keep it up! You're winning.

Like beating yourself in a game of Go-Fish.

The reason Thorn was laggy was because ALL THREE factions were constantly fighting. This wasn't anyone's fault except for ZoS.

They need to figure out how to fix it.. And by playing on empty servers where no large scale battles occur, we are not fixing the problem (I say we, but I mean ZoS) but only hiding it.
