Losing Emperorship

Alierion_ESO

To lose emperorship you must lose EVERY Keep in the center of the map (all 6). For campaigns like Dawnbreaker this probably won't happen for a looooong time. I understand being emperor should be hard to get and incredibly rare, but I sincerely hope they look at tweaking how to lose emperorship. Maybe losing half the keeps is more realistic? Possibly swapping Emperorship to the highest score in the alliance in a set time period? I don't know, does anyone else have any suggestions?

I like that the emperor won't necessarily change every five minutes. It gives you a reason to go for it.

Alierion_ESO

Right. Obviously not 5 minutes, but maybe 1 week? 1 month?

You won't even see half the emperor keeps get taken down in Dawnbreaker for a long time. It's pretty much just a place for your AD character to find all the sky shards and complete the quests right now.

Point is, you should not adjust the rules of PvP based on what's happening in that campaign. It's an atypical situation.

Alierion_ESO

You're probably right. Guess the guild chose the wrong campaign to join from the beginning, hah.

KidKablam

Why is Dawnbreaker specifically so empty? I doubt it will remain empty after official release.

Gaudrath

I think their idea is that they opened up enough campaigns to be pretty much all filled up when the launch comes. Probably an estimate of some sort. So in the end, very few campaigns should end up with a lopsided population which is the only reason Dawnbreaker is so dominated by AD.

Alierion_ESO

I hope so. I figure about 5-7 days after release (probably sooner) the population will adjust properly.

@KidKablam‌ While the opposite ends of the campain list started to slowly fill up, a couple guilds of dedicated PvP players with some PTS beta experience, rushed to that campaign and overloaded one side. It'll be a while before other players start to fill up campaigns, and most will avoid to low pop sides of a lopsided campaign.

Thank you for the answer, @driosketch

The Emperor should go to the person ONLINE with the highest point total.....

That would change emperor way too much and wouldn't really mean anything. Hell I'm the highest ranked on AD in Dawnbreaker and I think that's a terrible idea, hah.

online at the time of the siege ? Why reward a person who wasn't even around when the siege took place???
