You know, you're going to really disappoint some young lady one day if you carry on exaggerating size like that.

Or I might impress her with my ability to accurately count beyond the use of my fingers and toes. (I am assuming you've met, of course.) I could write you a guide if you're studious.

Unlikely, but hey, who knows?

PosternHouse · January 2016

Certainly not you, that is for certain.

HAHAHAH SARENVOG. And you don't sound very khajiit to me Telel.

Khajiit does much to assure their pack continues to improve and have whatever they require in order to be better than those who claim to be better. Sometimes this requires adopting a less humble and unwise tone of voice.

And since we've become so good that 16 opponents have to celebrate merely killing one of us....

i crashed twice, had multiple battle long loading screens, lag so bad i had no idea what the fudge was going on, and constant blobbing from all 3 factions, and I was EP:D thank sithis I had DBZ abridged on my phone during play to keep me sane

congrats on the win though, it was well deserved, it got VERY chaotic toward the end, I was not sure what would happen.

Especially after all that easy AP Shelgon and Kodi got out of this one's teaching PUG the other day. -.-

This one is not scum. They are Telel. That is a form of infectious awesome you do not wish to scrape out of your shower.

Telel you are a good guy. You fight for what you believe and thats the Dominion. You want freedom for Khajiits and readily available medicine for fleas for all khajiits for free, in the poorest khajiiti neighborhoods.

But you, Mojican, Crown, the rest of the AD army are very naive and foolish. Sarenvog doesn't seek Dominion victory. He seeks the total control of every living creature on Nirn. COVENANT spies have come across some very unsettling and quite frankly terrifying information very recently. While the Dominion has been focused on the COVENANT and Pact in Cyrodiil, Sarenvog along with a small group of dissidents within the yellow ranks are searching for "the ultimate power". A power that has been around since the dawn of people playing online games. A power so ungodly that it can even bring the aedra and deadric princes to their knees. And uttering its name gives the developers ulcers. It's called LAG Telel! YES I SAID IT! LAG!!!

Sarenvog seeks to somehow bring the lag under his control and to wield it against all! I was tasked by the COVENANT leaders to go on a not so top secret mission to find what Sarenvog and the dissidents are up to, and to at all costs stop them from achieving their dastardly goals. Also preliminary reports point to Haxus being on Sarenvog's payroll as muscle at his beckon call. Apparently Hektik is easy to negotiate with when you have a box of raisinets.

I was also told that I am allowed one companion to help me on this journey.... A journey that I might not come back from. I choose Wikket of CN.

Wish me luck for all safety and freedom of Nirn is at stake. I always felt in my heart that Scipio had a special role to play in the story of ESO.

DC has been the FOTM faction for a few months now. You've had dozens of rerolls from organized AD and EP players and therefore run more experienced organized groups than probably AD and EP combined.

The score of the last campaign is not reflective of the competitive balance in the game. It is totally skewed towards DC right now. VE knows what happens when one faction is too dominant: they have to hop campaigns to find fights as was the case when they were an EP guild. So they've exercised some restraint.

Something is going to break. Either some of the faction-hoppers need to switch back to their original factions and try to populate the other campaigns so we can have less lag and better competition, or more players are just going to say "f**k it" and leave the the game entirely and you'll have no one to fight anymore.

What do you mean? EP has Haxus and that spaghetti eater Unrulyshifter and Dynamic. Frozn Yogurt and his people. AD has the whole Mojican and Crown guilds, also that guild Divinity with their leader Daniel tater tots. on Azura's all three alliances met with comparable numbers this past cycle.

This was a really closely scoring campaign dude.. relax. DC won by a meager few hundred points. Listen to pubes.

You know very well the score is not representative of the competitive balance on AS. 2.2 DC is 1.5 EP with more restraint. Just a different color of the same s**t.

Enjoy rolling AD and EP pugs you pretend are organized competition in red ping prime time.

Wouldn't showing restraint be a good thing?

Only for the DC AP farmers. Go to your journal and look at the AS leaderboards for all three factions. Notice that one is kind of dominating? That's because so many organized/competitive players rerolled DC. Just like what happened in Oct 2014 on TB when EP was the FOTM faction. The campaign score is not representative of competitive balance. At all.

In 2015, TB died a slow death until the remaining AD and DC guilds hopped campaigns to avoid the EP hoard. Soon, we will start doing the same again as AS is an unplayable nightmare prime time. it's already happened to a large degree.

I'm confused as to what you want here.

frozywozy · January 2016

@zyk - I think you're my new best friend. Respect toward everything you've said so far in here. But don't let them troll you back, most intelligent people know you're right, they just will never admit it. If DC would play for objectives, the map would be blue 75% of the day but they won't because they wanna make it look like they worked hard to win the campaign.

In the end, like you've said, we all know that they're going easy mode on people with much lower skills and experience since 3-4months ago. They keep rolling over them gathering the ap flow. As you said, EP will either start moving to other campaigns or they will simply leave the game.

Funny part is, lot of people who were running in the ballgroups gate camping tonight around Chim temple said plenty of times in these forums not more than 2months ago that their guild would never gate farm because it is not good for the morale. Made me laugh when they charged me 24v1 a couple times.

If it wasn't for the horrible lag coming with the ballgroups I would probably stay but as soon as either Haderus or Trueflame get some action during the day I'm out of Azura fo sure. The community is getting way too toxic and arrogant.

LOL, I haven't laughed this much in ages... thanks man.

DC doesn't take the entire map because they don't want to run the competition off the server like what happened with Trueflame...and like EP did with Thornblade, etc, etc...

Maybe one day you will realize that if you don't run your mouth so much about everyone in our guild, we may not zerg you down 24v1, but until that day as soon as some says they see frozn, I will continue to yell zerg him down!

It's an eyeopener reading different alliance points of view. My experience as EP sees DC with massive full raids (usually 2 full groups) steamrolling, running back and forth, farming players. I never see smaller groups taking on keeps or resources. But my experience is mostly as a defender, so you've already made it to Chalman or Arrius, and the zerg always feels very strong. Maybe you view it as organized. I typically make a judgement targeting that slow guy that didn't quite follow the group and is on his own. Did he just steel tornado, or did he block and dodge roll to fight me? No shame in running away either, but that's how I judge the skill of the group, can they hold their own in a fight.

The OP was meant in jest, not to be taken seriously. Though very true about different PoV.

Went over a few people's heads though

Besides VE, who rerolled like 8 months ago, what other guilds are you talking about? Furthermore, a good number of the original red VE that rerolled have stopped playing the game by now; we might even be at a point where the guild is majority native blue. Going to call BS on the "so many organized/competitive players rerolled DC" until you can actually give specifics, because I play pretty much every night and there hasn't been a big DC reroll recently from what I can remember. Please feel free to prove me wrong.

The organized yellow guilds most certainly played on AS yesterday during prime-time, it just wasn't a good night for them - it happens to everyone. As for red, I see dynamic and pact militia most of the time now; it looks like haxus has bounced to another campaign again.

I remember banging our heads against a wall for a few weeks straight when IC launched and we were fighting as the main blue presence on TF outnumbered against a nightly GoS emp with all scrolls + SWP and pugs. It was grueling, and challenging. Frankly, I feel like guilds today just don't have stamina. They lose a few times and ragequit or bounce somewhere else. It's sad that there are only enough competitive guilds to occupy 1-2 campaigns, but when the stronger guilds move elsewhere, map balance obviously shifts. People complain about stacking, sometimes literally while doing it themselves, but everyone does it. There were times last night in AS where each alliance had overwhelming numbers during fights. People complain about lag, but I hear people complaining about lag on haderus almost as much as I hear it on AS. If guilds don't want to fight, it's hard to accuse the last one standing for the night of being guilty for farming when chances are the competition just went to a different campaign to do the same. Maybe your efforts should be focused on getting the red guilds to play. I logged early last night because yellow's pop died and their guilds left, and it looked like red had only small groups from dynamic/pact militia + pugs and were getting steamrolled at scroll area. You know what happens when competition leaves? The number of objectives to take dwindles and you start getting all of the alliance at one spot and shifting from playing the map to farming because there's nothing left to play on the map. You know what happens when competition stays? Alliances have to fight on multiple fronts and are typically forced to spread out (as much as the awful emp system that funnels you to certain keeps will allow) and pugs have the morale to keep playing and pushing objectives with the guilds.

Maybe your efforts should be focused on making sure guilds show up to the party?
