I’ve only managed to make it into the Ehmry Bay server once or twice. Unless I sit around trying to get in for hours, it doesn’t seem likely to happen anytime soon. I’ve never seen it without an overflow since the update on Tuesday.
yep got lucky with like a few seconds left. which was dumb cause he had no health at the 7 second mark.
Probably would have helped our time and DPS if the southern turrets weren’t dying all the time due to lackluster defenses. I’m pretty sure you saw me screaming on map chat for the southern turret defenders to aim for both the eastern and southern mobs, and not just the southern ones. I was left alone with the eastern ones and died numerous times…because all 10 of the other defenders were aiming for the southern mobs exclusively like fools.

i was there on southern defense, but ya no one was really organizing together to kill the mobs. like you i died a lot because of it.

Which is a real shame. It doesn’t even require any real orders to coordinate on that. You only need 3-4 watching one group while the others watch the other group. That’s the sad part, it should have never been that bad.

I really wish people wouldn’t post things like this – that Tequatl kill and very nearly kill? Yeah, I got to spend that entire block of time in overflow, unable to get in and therefore accomplish ANYTHING. No overflow group I’ve ever been present for has even got him down to 75%, and even before we had any publicized success, if you weren’t already in the zone long before Tequatl showed up, you weren’t getting in until there was no point leaving overflow anyways, as the main server’s event would be over by the time you get the prompt to leave.
Now we can wait for literal hours on end, seeing multiple iterations of the dragon come and go, content in the knowledge that a spot on the main server will never open up and we can’t ever leave overflow hell, where your time is always wasted for no reward whatsoever, because that prompt just does not appear.
Stay on your servers please, we have too many people already.

Ehmry Bay for life!
Hah! I was there for our first win, didn’t see myself in the video though. Too busy throwing down heals for the north turrets crew with Kiki.
I feel bad for those that didn’t make it, whether they just weren’t on at the time or were stuck in overflow. This was definitely the result of several days efforts in planning and practicing, and I wish everyone that’s been there throughout could’ve been with us during the actual victory.
As to those that were stuck and continue to find themselves stuck in overflow, remember to check and see if you have a friend/guildie that made it onto the main map so they can help you out. Baring that, be on the server teamspeak! A lot of coordination has been going on there, and if you speak/type up those in the main could possibly help you out. I know that’s not an ideal solution to overflow issues, but that’s what we’ve got to work with. So work it!
