It is so frustrating trying to be a solo player in EP there are zero zergs and no coordinated groups in any of the multiple campaigns. I have played in Skull, Chillrend, Skeleton Key, Thornblade, Haderus, and Scourge and they are all over run by AD. So either all the EP have went to one campaign or they are all spread out getting wiped instead of coordinating with one another to stop the annoying AD zerging in every damn campaign.

@SpazzmanNDQ

I can somewhat agree with your point

Sure I notice that EP isn't specifically in one campaign, but you can't blame them for playing the game as they see fit. There are many EP like you that roll solo or small group (at or less than 6), and quite honestly those guys may be able to fight, but usually they can't really siege a keep. They usually just stand around taking fire from ballistas and when there's only a few of them left, they get picked off from what I've seen. And when you have a lot of that in EP, I'm not surprised that EP at that point can't hold a campaign.

EP does coordinate, and in fact my guild master does have a few connections. And I myself have come across another guild master of a very large guild that wanted some cooperation between our guild and his guild.

In my opinion, what really needs to happen is coordination between good pvpers and organized PVP guilds/groups. And when that happens, it usually ends with success.

This problem you bring up by the way isn't unique to EP since the same thing happens in AD and I'm sure it happens in DC as well. I've played in EP, AD, and a little bit of DC.

Info on campaigns you mentioned as far as I know

Skeleton key is very contested and sometimes gets flipped entirely blue since it's their buff server, but right now EP is winning there. So I wouldn't say that AD has Skeleton key.

I haven't been to Haderus, but yeah I heard EP is winning there which I'm surprised about.

We used to have Chillrend, but a bit of drama happened and I'm not surprised that we don't have it anymore. And quite frankly I'm glad that we moved out of there.

Big players from DC and AD moved into Scourge last campaign and yeah EP was getting pushed hard. And hey it may become another Azura's star for EP in the future.

Thornblade is also contested between EP and AD. DC does make a surprise visit, but they don't really do anything there though.

I haven't been in Skull of corruption in a long time, so I don't know how it is currently. For all I know, a bunch of pro EP players are abusing the underdog bonus in that campaign to win it since it's a buff server.

The big guilds might come back from Haderus after winning it for maybe a second week in a row. They left scourge due to getting pushed by pretty much every blue in the game at all times of day to their gates especially since Golden Guns has been one of the best emperors in a while. Yellow was nonexistant until this campaign when both DC and EP left except for a morning crew that would cap the map when everyone was asleep. I look at the campaign populations at prime times and yellow has more population by a lot in campaigns.

The few coordinated ep guilds don't go into campaigns other than scourge or haderus usually because they like round the clock action and not a campaign that remains dead except for a couple of hours as well. A lot of better ep players went to other alliances as well, but hey we have the most pve players still so there is that.

That's my issue with AD always seeming to have more people they already get the benefit of being the best faction for new players cause they have best races Altmer, Bosmer, Khajiit. Now they get guys from other aliances to switch over because no one wants to constantly be on the losing team.

As a player who plays both EP and AD I can tell you. AD is better because of their races and everyone is a freaking sorc. While EP consists of argonians and Nords on top of that its a PvE dominant faction which means less hardcore PvErs. AD is far more populated and the people in EP are usually in a social hub screaming their ears off.

Exactly my point AD was set up from the beginning to be the best faction cause ZOS didn't decide to balance the races. The only reason someone would use a nord or argonian is if they are interested in RP and Lore. Like you said AD are mainly sorcs and nightblades

I'd be happy to help any EP out that do not have a active guild and that need good leadership and want to play with other good/great players. My guild is well known on Xbox NA and I have some of the best players. We do not play in the AIDS infested LAGERUS because it is just terrible. We do play in Scourge and Skull. Both are heavily controlled by AD but who wants to be in a campaign that is overrun by EP if you are EP? Do we get zergged down? Yes of course but it is the same no matter where you go now that is what the game is.

If your looking for a good active guild then your free to message me here with your GamerTag and I will invite you. Just for you information we do not usually run more than a 12 man, most of the time 10 or less depending on what is going on. If we are trying to push a guild memeber EMP we run more.

Lastly, is it annoying getting zergged down most of the time in a heavily controlled AD campaign yes! But the end result is more AP and way less LAG. I'd rather be outnumbered all the time then have zergs of EP destroying a campaign i'm in and lag ging it all to hell. Believe me it sucks. Try running Skull for a whole month for EP to bring in two zergs and ruin the campaign. Less EP means more fun unless you really need to get a bunch of Keeps really quick. So if you agree with me and it sounds like something you'd like message me.

So much lol in this thread. Ego and hubris galore, That is what truly ails EP, that and selfish farmers more concerned with AP totals than helping the Pact win. Too many times I hear people arguing about who is going to be Emp or "The High King of EP" (lmao every time at that one) when we can barely hold our home keeps. If we got points for area chat generals we'd never lose anything ever. Countless times I've seen the top scorers at the time hiding and spamming heals, or just farming resources or the Arena, or have forward camps up in some remote location while the other factions run roughshod over those who are trying. I only play in Scourge and as EP, but in all honesty, the behavior of the majority of the Pact has demoralized me to the point that I play less frequently nowadays. Basically I get on with a handful of players I trust, and we push the map as we can until the "stupidity" becomes unbearable. With all of that being said, props to all that are still sticking it out in Scourge, if any of you see me in the field and need a group to run with, just ask and I'll oblige. For those who left, I'm less than impressed with those that tucked tail, even if they have found success elsewhere. That's because I heard all kinds of boasting when we had the upper hand, and as soon as we lost it....do the math. In defense of EP in Scourge though, I'd like to point out the hypocrisy; when red was winning it was "red can only win because they Zerg". But when blue and then yellow started winning with zergs, it became "look how awesome we are EP sucks etc etc." In reality, every faction has good players, and having zergs helps turn the tide. But these are all just my opinions, everybody has their own.

I've been with the emperors EP guild this weekend in chilrend and we've been holding our own against DC and AD. However they both have some great players in the campaign so I don't know how long it will last.

I wish they'd come to Scourge. Everyone is all butthurt about it being all yellow. Well, maybe bring a guild over. Do you guys even guild? Blue too. We flipped it from a red campaign to yellow with less population..
