I don't think we will have a problem keeping the BwB thread open. I learned ( with the help of the mods ) that arguing with AD/EP is like arguing with a brick wall. It is not worth my time.

I do have a question what got shut down the fastest? The second AS thread or @Vurian97 Emp ? ( Just teasing, Fluffy )

Yea this is where you come to die in ESO. Both spiritually and in-game; purgatory.

Actually, what do you want to know? I'd like to think some of us would like to help out new players.

cbaudersub17_ESO · March 2017

@parkham - not so much the latter 'call to arms' message; but Mr. Bitaken's original post still seems accurate on the general play style of Azura's Star. It's not for everyone, but many of those that I play with like the challenge of playing without CP. The choices in your build and skill load-out seem to have more meaning.

As for the 'state' of the server in Mr. Bitaken's post, just insert <FACTION> here rather than <FACTION> and the dynamics of population are addressed. Presently, a good long block of playing time during the day is well represented by all factions. Faction population ramp-ups differ from day-to-day and one faction or another tends to be on longer or better represented throughout the whole day.

RIP longest running PVP thread.

To those responsible:

Lies! We BwBs are at 188 pages now! Ok, we got shut down 3 times but we're well on our way now

BWB thread started in August 2016, AZ thread started in June 2016. You got two months to not get closed. Good luck

We should hijack BWB thread. It would be closed in no time and AZ thread would forever be ceowned as the longest.

AD has only focused EP... for almost a week straight. I led a group that took Arrius, Kings, and Farragut... in primetime. Then ran back Scrolls.

Where were you...? Roe?

Let me start by saying that I have nothing against you and in fact have stopped to rez you from time to time as some members in TM have ties to RoB.

Are you referring to primetime last night (Tuesday)? If so, was it not Marek the one who picked up and ran both Altadoon & Mnem scrolls? {The lizard likes to swim; bad knees and all} They being placed in Farragut and Kings at the time.

Not that @Heike needs anyone to speak for him, but I am pretty sure he is referring to a few nights ago and speaking to the "AD seems scared to go against EP" posted by others.

Poking around in some random field with a frenemy DC (last night? - long week), team 'orange' was mentioned as a larger DC zone chat buzz. Pretty laughable suggestion, really.

No. I was referring to Saturday night and late Sunday morning. Although, last night I was bored, running solo (RoB was in TF) and went on that scroll run from Kings... tagging along for the field fights with EP en route.

The "bad knees" comments in zone were hilarious!

Drasn · March 2017

Notice that DC is pushing Chal, notice that a certain AD guild(TM) that has been backdooring every push that DC makes agaisnt EP has claimed bleakers for no other reason than to cut us off from Chal. This has been going on all day long even when DC was pushed back to gates. Crap like this is why its becoming apparent that its 2v1.

Sixth · March 2017

I guess we can assume TM is scared of Boozs crew??

PenguinInACan · March 2017

You give us the choice between the last emp keep with a faction stack v faction stack and bleakers and we will choose bleakers 9/10 times. Less lag, more open field opportunities, and more fun. Sorry if our video game experience isn't pigeonholed into a particular game-mode. I wonder what that would look like (*cough* battlegrounds *cough*)

Sixth · March 2017

If you're gonna zerg at least be useful to the campaign with it??

Sixth · March 2017

No scrub here, i always manage to farm lots of red or yellow regardless. im just saying, man up and dethrone, noones asking you to wipe EP out, its 1 keep

It's cute that you think the ability to "farm" (how much AP/hr do you think constitutes a farm?) makes you not a scrub.

Sixth · March 2017

that 1 meant a lot

WhiteMage · March 2017

You win some you lose some. I wanna rage at TM for some silly little zerg situations (like sneaking up from stealth to 8v2 players who know you're there, like wtf? That's what the AD pugs do! Maybe Row had a grudge or something. If so, I get that.) and also thank TM (mostly Lord Micah) for letting a 1v1 with another member of TM (she started it) go on for a while without interruption. Also, hi vujk @ ash lm.

Posting this like it means anything really does just perfectly demonstrate my point.
• 483 AP - nice kill assist
• 2 revenges (just in your group) - I'm happy with that KD
• You felt the need to take a screenshot says a lot

I know you won't believe me anyway, but I was actually experiencing several 999+ ping spikes up at Bleakers with a few 5second freezes (did you not notice me standing there doing nothing?). That is what allowed you to catch up to me and 5v1 (only one was your group member though looking at your map).

If you really want to test your mettle I'd be happy to duel, no e-peen, no bragging rights, I appreciate people put their pride on the line in a duel. Kavi J and I had some great ones at Nikel.

I'll happily duel you one day and I believe you as well with the ping spikes, if we share a common enemy it's ZOS servers

The point of my post is why were you at bleakers to begin with? You weren't helping your faction in any way. At least when Booze and Co go all PVP troll they do it in places that benefit EP.

Unlike DC, AD has the consistent numbers to stand against EP on a regular basis but most of the time a select group is too busy trolling DC.

@Drasn
I took the night 'off' so cannot speak directly to the decisions specifically made but ...
...... 1) On Tuesday, the time spent was nearly exclusively versus EP. Maybe, last night had a more DC lean to it.
...... 2) Maybe activities with individuals prior to a group forming dictated a DC lean to the night.
...... 3) From the screen shot provided, the option are:
............ a.) PvDoor Drake. No reason.
............ b.) PvDoor Kings for a scroll and attract 95% of the AD.
............ c.) Join the zerg at BRK. No thank you, it is very rare that the group will head into an AD zerg
............ d.) Bleakers being in between DC & EP. Sounds like a fun place to be.
...... 4) Dethroning is not a high consideration in decision making. Unless someone specifically wants an emp run as the
map will be flipped in a few hours anyways.

A question for you is, 'How did the faction need any help at this specific time?' With EP turtled and DC 'H' bent on Chalman the Randoms were not pinned down anywhere and had manageable odds in objectives they chose. Keep in mind that a lot of these players siege postern doors with fire ballista when the few do actually place siege.

@Sixth
How many people do you think is in a TM group? We have been slightly larger recently as a few people have started playing in group again. Bleakers is AD's honey. I swear, 5 random AD players port in even before the door is repaired. If they die any where on the map and AD holds it; it is the first choice as a spawn location (unless there is a bridge fight)

@WhiteMage
On the 8v2 from stealth occurrence, you would need to go into further details...
Generally, the group is in stealth for...
...... 1) Waiting for the stragglers to arrive at a location
...... 2) On a resource, to obtain a 'surprise vector' on the Nth attempt
...... 3) Back cap attempt (if we arrive too early)
Mostly what any other group (sans gankers) use stealth for.

A question now is, why did you stay if you knew a Xv2 was coming? I get it if you wanted to have the 'fight' to see how you would to do. Maybe kill a couple before withdrawing. But it should not cause any rage when it is your call. Yes, surely, it is frustrating not to be able to find 'small scale' fights but Cyrodiil in it current state is not conducive to those situations.
