and people whine that pvp is all about zerging..

anyways why do asmo's suck so hard? especially on zikel, where the entire lower abyss is elyos controlled majority of the time and have yet to see asmo's hold anything in the upper abyss.

I thought I would playing the "underdog" by picking elyos, guess i was wrong.

 I honestly don't get it myself.  This is the first PvP game I've played where the "bad" guys aren't the stronger PvPers.  Maybe alI the horribles convinced themselves that if they played on the "bad guy" side they wouldn't be on the losing team... and their horribleness has permeated all of Asmodae.

I personally didn't choose Elyos because Sanctum's layout is a major pain in the ass compared to Pandemonium, apparently being too lazy to run from the bank to the crafters area does not coincide with PvP skillz.

Elyos is easier to level. From all three servers that  I have characters on Elyos had the most highest levels. And in this game levels are a huge factor. I think after another month or so you'll see things evening out though (although elyos will have had a headstart on the gear grind at that point).

Also what is with the rift locations for Asmos going into elyos territory? Really retarded locations.

1. Classes are exact mirrors (ok, a very slight difference for some)

2. Servers are population balanced. I haven't seen any that are beyond a 49/51 percent ratio.

Your "underdog" thing seems a little misguided

That is true, i do feel sorry for asmo's when they get bottled in at ET or somewhere.

An organized group will always have an advantage over the zerg. People don't realize how important healing is in a PvP situation and in a zerg no one heals or rezes.

On the other hand, about 10 of us Asmos held off a 25+ man Elyos raid in the same zone but in the desert this time.

I really cant see how this video show that "asmo's suck" like u state on the title.

1 - 15 elyos come to asmo territory for pvp, means that they organize the alliance with class's balance and they are coordinate on 1 single group.

2 - An previous organized group of 15, is a really pain in the *** even for, lets say, 40 random ppl.

3 - most of the asmo's they probabily not even be on group, they just run to that location after read on chat "elyos raid at X location"

4 - Even considering asmo's were not organized in group, see wich class were the 2 1st elyos killed  (cleric's).

 

In the end, i thing both were good at, Elyos made a nice organized group of 15 ppl, and asmo's (after they know the location of elyos) just run to there to defeat them.

Great video, btw, just dont agree with ur statment "asmo's suck" acording to this video   :)

Nice video -disappointing title. 

 

Labeling people as this or that is never right. 

 

Having a great night with an organized group is great fun - keep it at that. Your performance will only be diminished once you start calling someone else this or that.

Organized mini zerg takes down a bunch of back pedaling, keyboard turning, nobodies.   Grats.

YEAH, and Alliance sucks, too. All they do is show up with their op Paladins and bubble/hearth. It's a f*cking game breaking joke imo.

This site lists all population at 49-51%. I have honestly no idea where you got your 15 vs 100 numbers.

97% of forum statistics are made up, mmkay.
