Also there is no way that Drac / IVS / Omni could ever run small-man quartet, cause they are all mindless choral singers.

All they ever do is stack on the conductor and sing one note over and over again.

Marginal Trash Singers, all of them.

TBH, if I was AD, I'd do whatever it took to keep that corridor open and busy most days. (Chalman blue? Flag Aleswell / take Bleakers -- reverse if Aleswell red) That'd keep a lot of pressure off Roe and Alessia. Aleswell or Chalman flipping should be a red flag to go help restart that stalemate.

If someone is concerned about the campaign score, that depends on a few factors like which faction is ahead and where the pressure currently is.

IMO, the pressure should be on whichever faction is strongest. EP has been running away with it lately, so if DC has Chalman and is pressuring EP, organized AD groups should also pressure EP.

If an AD group does take Aleswell or Bleaker's in this scenario, DC groups will typically have it in their minds to 'punish' AD and push south after recovering what it is they've lost. EP groups don't usually need an excuse to push AD.

I've been in that AD group at Bleaker's many times and when we were successful, it was never good for the rest of AD.

Dc doesn't push EP past Chalman. when the fight for chalman ends the fight between DC and EP ends for a few hours.

inb4 Invictus vs Omni vs Dracarys Barbershop Quartet sing-off competition

I'd much rather a simple GvG

Dracarys forfeits the sing-off...I expected better.

Well we have 2 mutes in guild. @redsky and @regulationgod

So we'd be starting on the back foot lolol.

I challenge them to a singoff with @bmesi

Go!

I don't think more ball groups farming AP in a tower or keep is what AvAvA needs to be healthy.

Yeah, because Omni, Dracarys and Invictus have never helped the map by fighting for keeps, retaking lost objectives, rushing to the defense of something that's under siege, or cleared out each other from home keeps to free up the rest of the faction to do things other than get farmed or whine in zone chat.

Share your snark all you want. I've already listened to you explain how little you care about the map and the score and how you are so far past that.

I don't not care about the map. That's never been the case. I just choose not to stress over it and prioritize it over everything else to the point the game is no longer fun. It's hardly enjoyable to run around back and forth all the time, bailing from good fights early or missing out on one opportunity to be aggressive or defend when someone else on the other side of the map can't pull their own weight. If I've almost gotten BRK taken, and Roe gets sieged half-way through, I've committed to one fight already. The fact we choose not to go rescue another group or bail our pugs out of the Drac-farm-jail doesn't magically mean we don't fight for the map.

I just don't choose to do everything you want me to do 24/7 based on whatever fickle mood you're in. My apologies if my lack of subservience to your clearly superior expertise triggers you.

Leading every night, group theorycrafting, wrestling with egos and drama, getting everyone to buy in, demanding and earning respect, these are all things GMs and senior officers need to do, and I literally don't know any way to make it work other than to just be absolutely obsessive about it. I honestly don't think there's been a single night in the past month that at least 1-2 of our officers in Omni weren't on the PTS for hours, testing builds, mapping out trait combinations, detailing the math behind what will be the best possible idea for our group to succeed, etc. There's hardly been a single day where we aren't sitting in Discord arguing for hours over tiny details, or debating between what's ideal and what's practical to find the truly optimal setup for specific roles, and then piecing it all together in a way that our Crowns understand so we can make the right calls or adjust how we choose to engage in certain scenarios given the new strengths and weaknesses of our group. And that's just the officers.

Its not like this in Drac, the most difficult problem I have to have is whether we want to play AD or EP that night based on our comp / the map

But I agree that if you want to perform well you need a lot of investment towards that shared goal. Many guilds struggle because their members just want their own entertainment rather than having that shared goal.

With 1 tam the faction choosing on character creating doesnt make any sense. You have no idea as a new player what each faction represents. I think at the start of every campaign you should pick your faction. Then that locks your whole account to that faction until the campaign ends. This would make life alot easier for people who make friends in other factions and want to play PvP with them. They just have to wait for the campaign to end and pick the same faction next time.

I agree, this would make faction locks actually work. Therefore depending on the balance of last campaign, guilds can choose which faction to fight for

That's right. Because when we're all on at the same time, we get into the same Teamspeak and sing kumbayah and hold hands.

There couldn't possibly be any desire to one up or improve upon another one of these top guilds.

inb4 Invictus vs Omni vs Dracarys Barbershop Quartet sing-off competition

I'm sure you're well aware of this, but us in GoD like to be in skeleton polymorph all the time. So we have naturally evolved into a quartet group called SkeleTONEZ. Prepare to be decimated by our voice boxes!

But... skeletons don't have voice boxes.

Clearly the skeleton polymorph is just a skin. But I thought this was a legit competition that we just hold over Discord!

But...skeletons by definition have no skin....

Heh and as side note as a former PC player turned PS4 I’m curious if GoD evolved from DiE guild? As the skele morph was Moon Dies guild signature back in the day aswell

It was Dom doms as well for 2 years. There was an EP guild that ran it for a few months too. It has been passed around a few times

Just a few things.

Just so you know, there was a call in DC zone chat last week to boycott PC - NA - Vivec. Fortunately, this was ignored by the majority. Zone chat for the DC is best ignored as there is a lot bickering and hostilities. Even if you try to be useful and give a heads up that something is UA, the toxic spam overshadows it.

And, I want to thank you for noticing the hard work of Iron Legion. We have had some great fights lately. Our guild leaders have been working with the group to help us improve. IL only runs the core three nights a week. On those nights, we are actually starting to get a full raid. The guild is improving. Those of us in the core each have our role, but we are still trying to figure the best combination.

And I want to thank our "guest" who ran with us a few weeks ago. I have been trying to incorporate your advice into my PVP as best as I can. You help has turned my hate for you and your group into respect.

Why boycott?

To be honest, I have no idea why they were calling for a boycott. I had just zoned into Cyrodiil when I saw it in zone chat. I ignored it but thought it interesting that one was being called. I can't even tell you who it was demanding the boycott. I don't think that boycotting the campaign would do anything.

I suspect that the boycott was called by someone who was upset by the time stop skill due to the timing and the other conversation at the same time. If several people are using the skill, it can be annoying on the receiver's end. I like the skill myself as I spent the first night of Summerset doing that grind just so someone in IL would have it.

Don't you just love when players from Omni or dracarys join your raid to help you out? Kudos to them to wanting to help DC stay competitive. GoD has enjoyed their tips and criticisms immensely.



..... hopefully that wasn't supposed to be a secret lol. But thank you to the "military advisors" who gave us tips on how to farm their own faction. Your Insight has been given some great thought and has been implemented to help us improve and grow.

I was actually shocked to see the "guest". It can be easy to forget that the players on the other factions are just playing the game like you are. When Nem told us that we had a guest, it was hard for me to comprehend at first. I hadn't paid attention to the name as we have been getting new members to the guild. I had long thought that the other factions were trying to destroy the PVP, especially when it seemed that you are always outnumbered. And here was one of the 'enemy' willing to help us improve. He became a person and not just a group of pixels that was the cause of death. Now, I completely respect that guild and the coordination they use. I am no longer afraid to run into them.

I hope i never T-bag'd this guy...


Nice to see an un-salty pvp post/thread.
