Am I missing something? It merely looks like a complaint that DC is having a good night.

A rarity of one.

The irony of course that EP has a ball group most nights but they disappear when there is 1 on DC. At the same time; DC has the best ball group on the server after EP did something similar to this. I'm not sure what AD has lately.

It's not great from a game health perspective but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't nice to be on the other side of it for once.

This is why i main a nb bomber at least i have the tools to be able to kill anything when the stars align.

Sorry bud, tonight at bleaks CBB was repairing the door and I almost killed all of em with one bomb,

Not to mention bombing them at Glade, Ray etc..... Ball Groups are not unkillable. Just really hard to kill. Especially if you don't know how to fight them

DC had our groups out. It was nice to see.

However we have dealt with this crap for 11 months this year and now you get a taste of it.
Enjoy

Ball groups are fine.... You and many others simply go about them the wrong way. I Have seen this countless times on PS EP and I'm sure everyone who knows basic game mechanics must chuckle as to what I'm about to say. In fact I once got straight kicked from a pvp guild for the sole reason of saying these words:

Ball Groups are a mechanic of the game and are fine... let me say this again... Ball groups are fine.
The first lesson in PVP to understand that no one is good, every one else losing is simply worse. If you are losing its not their fault... its your fault and always will be... ALWAYS! THIS WILL NEVER CHANGE. If you die, you made a mistake, if you lose, you didn't understand what you were facing. Accept this one simple rule and you have already become a better player!

So how to deal with ball groups. Look I personally enjoy listening to groups fighting a ball and it goes something like this "we got them, oh no, ah they got me. okay this time we got them, oh no, ahhh they got me..." Ad infiniti because ball group mechanics DO NOT CHANGE.... EVER. There are three phases to a ball group, the build up, the release and the retreat. From the outside these are predictable to watch. But none of those matter because the true way to beat a ball group... is to not fight the ball group.

Ball groups are a large gathering of opposition resources in one place. If you don't have matching or exceeding resources (not necessarily numbers) then you are only helping the enemy win by engaging them in a battle they hold the advantage in. That's how you lose a campaign, and its not a big deal there will be plenty others. DC never won a single campaign (from the EP perspective, yes if your DC you won) ever! EP lost it because they did not follow the rules of the game mechanics.

So what do you do? If you cant defeat them, then you must be where they are not. EP should immediately break into small groups and take every small resource behind the ball group. A ball group is a one trick pony, you should never be in front of its flow. if there is one ball group, there should be three smaller groups taking everything small from them. They may save one, but lose two. Never under any circumstance should you play into the advantages of others.... unless you want to be that bonehead who gets farmed for AP.... and they are not going to thank you for it.

So what happens if "we have to fight them"? First off, this is never the case and if you ever hear someone say that... chuckle because they're a useful idiot for the opposition. And its okay for the folks that simply want to throw themselves at the nearest enemy with out even a second thought of who has the advantage... because with out such players we would have no top 5 PVP videos. But if you want your faction to win, then your gonna have to learn the very basics of game mechanics and strategy. If not I'm sure DC will be happy with their rewards... you gave them.
