Emperors from other campaigns retain their abilities?

Lord_Draevan

So I was playing this morning on NA Wabbajack. We were sieging Kingscrest keep and a player called "Moon Die" was ranked Emperor and, being an Emperor, we had a hard time killing him. 20 of us all hitting him and health bar barely flickered even though no allies were healing him, so on and so forth, nothing new there, Emps are powerful.
However, he wasn't Emperor on OUR campaign, there as none at the time. I checked on ESOstats and it turns out he's Emperor on Auriel's Bow.
So this means a faction could potentially have several Emperors playing on the same campaign through guesting/porting to player in the group tools.
My question is: do they retain their Emperor powers on other campaigns, or are they restricted to the campaign they hold Emperor? If they can, I dread to think of 3-4 Emperors running in a group together...

I believe they only retain the "former Emperor" buffs.

I certainly hope so... the thought of several full power Emperors all on the same server is kinda scary. Though I note he was ranked "Emperor", not "Former Emperor".

Yeah they get a skill set for it.
It's like being a vampire or werewolf I think.

I mean the buffs, not the skill set. We were 15-20 of us all hitting him at once and his health bar barely flickered, no one was healing him either. Makes me think that Emps retain their buffs even if they're not in the campaign where they hold Emp.

Next time kill their merry band of pocket healers first.

We're a coordinated group of good players, you're going to have a hard time killing us :P

Moon runs a very powerful build, he gets massive self healing and deals alot of damage at the same time. He really doesn't need his emperor buffs to destroy a bunch of people

Nooblet

Is it a DK? Ya they retain that anywhere : p

As I've said twice now, there was no one around him healing. It was just one person. Weren't even any NPC Healers around.

Someone who had 2 emps guest on his server to join forces with the current emp told me that they retain their full status. I cannot confirm any of it though as no one in their right mind would guest on my campaign.

If there is a build that allows someone to stand against 20 players then we have another broken build not a good player. Broken builds don't make someone a good player, that makes them a bad player if I might equivocate.

If emp does not carry over and the case is due to a broken build I would guess it is in part due to the Healing Mage set. One of the many broken, head scratching sets that came out with craglorn.

Healing Mage set - Enemies in your area heals have their power reduced by 100.... Throw down an area of effect heal and bam your enemies are using nerf bats.

nukeyoo

pretty sure they do

ZOS needs to do something about that. Yesterday we had 5 or six emps holding a keep. Eventually there twill be guilds of Emperors....guesting anywhere their alliance needs them to hold objectives.(for a fee of course)

That pretty much already exists, minus the fee.

I hate to be "that guy", but... which faction is exploiting this? AD, of course. Seems they're always the first to find these exploits. Not the only ones to use them, I know, and not all AD use them. A few bad apples ruining the bunch.

a couple of guilds names come to mind from the PTS testing server back when i was testing.(All now AD) They were just as secretive about what they did and what they found.Now we know why!.
They were the ones who were first reported using the vamp sploit etc etc..I think its sad.

Maybe it's time to get emperor myself...

nukeyoo

They should open up enough campaigns so we all can go to our own and claim emperor then we can all guest back on a specified campaign to fight each other.

Tintinabula

Ioana Im sure you've been emperor in enough games already.

you guys are funny ,moon die is my guild leader and he is certainly not cheating or exploiting and he has no "emperor buff" on guest campaign ,he can tank many players because his build is made for it,my dk build is different but i also can tank much damage with 7 piece of heavy and 3k HP and when i drop my standard on your whole group you will die if you dont counter my attempt to pwn you and im no emperor!

What it comes down to is DK's still aren't balanced, I too have a VR12 DK who seems nearly unkillable and it's just not fun to play.

Considering every single other buff (Keeps/Scrolls/Emp Alliance) also applies on guest campaigns, I wouldn't be surprised if Emp did too. Unless ZOS replies yes or no, I'll remain skeptical.
Only time I've ever seen 1 lone player hold off 15+ Vets without their health bar going below 90% was with Emps. We've taken down plenty of DK tanks spamming Standard and Green Dragon Blood before.
