350,000k+ views on Anduin's Knights Alliance raid

All that reading to find out Cryptid's is dodging another fair fight, laughable. No one is harassing you by the way. What ive seen is a multi server group of folks flexing on the internet and then calling it harassment when someone posts a different view than your own. Also, it seems, your own faction feels the same way about Cryptid's as the rest of us do. These posts are publicity stunts, and you go in pretty hard on a lot of folks. When challenged on an even playing field you guys disappear. Why is that?
Only time I've seen alliance in warmode is when they get frisky at a FP for about 5-10 minutes before the Horde decides to do something about it.

You guys ever sit up at night thinking about the moon landing?
Love seeing all the mad horde in here.

Emerald Dream horde challenges Cryptids league or Knights or whatever you call yourself to a world player vs player combat. Do you accept or do you have to wait until your leader actually logs on to get permission?

As far as other horde wanting to challenge us, you are horde we are already at war with your entire faction there is no need to challenge the opposite faction who are already at war with you. If you play with warmode on we will see you in the battlefield like good Alliance soldiers when it's time.
Sounds like a cop out to me. We get it, you can't stand the heat when you have actual competition.

You're no better than those you "claim" to be protecting others from.
I've ran with Cryptid before, but I was mainly volunteering towards <The Alliance Empire> back in Legion. It's nice to know you guys are still around!

To those of you saying that it's 40v2 or etc, it's not. Generally world PvP is either objective based (downing a world boss such as Horde leaders) or reacting to Horde groups with some size. There's many Horde guilds out there that wpvp, and that have been around for a while. Cryptid's Anduin Knights and The Alliance Empire are the only two that really stand against it.

I fondly remember camping the tower up in Orgrimmar, 100+ Horde trying to zerg in and wipe The Alliance Empire, and farming their hides for hours. Best ending to any night tbh.

Are you the people who are literally always at Seeker's Vista?
Also, why is it that place in particular that constantly has 20+ Alliance there 24/7?


They love turtles, especially old, crotchety ones.

And after my casual joke, I would like to ask a serious question/make a serious point. Do you think it's good for wPvP?

Because what I see happen is Alliance just sit and wait for "the no-way-to-lose" Ball of Death... and then quickly rush to Stormwind to flag, rush back, and flex the might of their 90 lb, weak frame. As soon as the raid breaks up... they go back and TURN IT OFF.

This actually is not what Warmode is really about-- as we see on the Horde side. When I'm out doing my WQs, I see a SINGLE Horde here, a SINGLE Horde there. We have Warmode On, and we LEAVE IT ON. I have to completely admit that yes, we too sometimes engage in this 40v2 nonsense. It's GONNA HAPPEN. But I've had Warmode On since BfA released and for every 40v2 bore-fest, I've seen just as many times that 6+ Horde have been staring down that lone Alliance guy trying to just finish his WQ and... we leave him alone.

To me, THAT is "Warmode" as much, if not more, than the yawn-fests that are Raid v Raid. Maybe that's just because I'm melee and stand absolutely no chance in those situations. I can't choose a terrain advantage and try and pick off stragglers. I have to get into the meat of it... where I'm Instantly CCd and reduced to ash in a single GCD. Warcraft not only is terrible when it comes to PvP in general, it's even worse once the scale goes beyond, say, 10v10.

But having a collective of single players who simply jump on the bandwagon isn't good for Warmode. They're basically admitting "I only want to do this when my chance of winning is 100%. If it's anything less than 95%, I don't want to bother." I'm sure the counter-argument would devolve quickly, but the fact is: Horde aren't like that. We're running around solo and taking those chances as they happen. THAT is how I would encourage more Alliance to join. Not merely "joining a can't-lose raid for 22 minutes and then switching back to brag."


What warmode is all about?
Please enlighten me since you seem to know so much on how systems are suppose to work.

Stop being salty we figured out a way to stop the bullying and turn it right back around on you.

I'll do warmode however I want. If that means only turning it on to join a massive Alliance raid then that's what it means.

I know this might upset you, but not everyone thinks the same way you do. Suck it up buttercup, you want Alliance blood come fight this 40 man raid.

You're so smug it's actually revolting.
I mean, we do get a lot of the blue world quests out of the way when the Horde aren't counter raiding us so thats a pretty good benefit too.

Plus a lot of the players are becoming regulars, and we are building a good report with other large PvP and WPvP guilds.

Warmode made server identity a thing of the past. If we weren't around to quell Horde uprisings, they would be running rampent in 40 man groups doing exactly the same thing we are.

Some players play the game to raid, do mythic+'s or rated pvp, we do enjoy large scale WPvP.

Complain all you want, we aren't going anywhere

Oh, is this the group that lags the server until it's unplayable for the opposition, then tries to monetize it as talent?

The one and only.................................. I see more fair world fights on the Oceanic servers. I refuse to sit and camp towns and interfere with people trying to quests.
I refuse to sit and mob a single player just for the laughs.

Warmode is not about being fair but it is about having the decent courtesy not to be a douche bag and crash the server or be a zone disruption Like the above is. Then again I have yet to run into this so called epeen group and I doubt I will.

Yes if it is blue i will attack them but I will do so when it is fair or I have clear advantage and going AFK while flagged is a fair target. Sorry Mister Mage you made that mistake I took advantage.

To be fair neither side can play the game if it's 40v40 or more. Servers lag out and crash, no clue how well the support is now, but that was an effect from the pre-patch/WoD that can't be mitigated. Legion suffered the same issues, but not as bad, and it's been an ongoing problem for a while now - Ashran/WoD even was a good example of how it could be done, but the engine is dated now and is bogged down with too many updates graphics wise that the server can't compensate.

Though, to my knowledge the engine is getting upgraded to multi-threading in 8.1, which is amazing news. Might help in those situations as well.

I hope you are right cause Drustvar is a mess to just go thru.

We do not bother with questers or small parties unless we are extremely bored and can't find any raid groups.


Hm, so if there isn't a raid for you to fight you turn into a roving gank squad.

If it's red it's dead, but there is without a doubt a code of honor to PvP. Or at least an unsaid one that you can apply to yourself, but you can't expect others to reflect that. That's how I see it at least, if I can I'd rather leave someone with 1% HP rather than killing them because corpse runs are never fun. (In WPvP ofcourse.)

The main Horde complaint on big Alliance guilds is that the server lags out and crashes, which isn't the Alliance's fault at all. Point to the finger at Blizzard and server architecture, and a dated game engine. If anything Alliance responds with equal numbers in those situations, the server just can't handle it.

It's an overblown issue that people find easier to blame on the opposing players rather than the game itself. If Alliance tries to get fair/equal numbers as a Horde raid, the server crashes and can't handle it, but if they have lesser numbers and get wiped they call the Alliance weak. Alliance will always be wrong in Horde eyes, tbf.

I know PVP hurts, but you can always turn Warmode off.
You create a thread about pvp then decline a direct pvp challenge. I hope you understand that you're not respected on ED whatsoever and even those of us who don't like large scale wpvp will group up to destroy your multi-sever, SGI using, pathetic blob you call a guild.
