Do you even care about the Emperor Title?

Yes

Read my other thread then I have linked at the top.
"I have a thread that discussed a potential new way to determine the Emperor using a guild-based system."


You will understand. PvP is more then just a AP farm.

I've seen that before actually. And no, I still don't understand your poll. It's really not clear what each answer indicates.

I also don't agree with your assessment at all. Sure, you can call it an "AP farm" and then it suddenly sounds meaningless and "broken," but if you consider where AP comes from then you can also call it a "keep/resource capturing, wall/door-fixing, player killing, quest running farm." I don't see the problem in that. Every MMO, every RPG even, is essentially just that. And, like I said, I personally would prefer that only people able to obtain the title are those who dedicate themselves to the point of having little life outside of the game. (Although, I think that's heavily overstated anyway. Emperorship has the potential to change quickly and the only points that matter are those that were gained after the last Emperor was crowned. In other words, if you're online when an enemy Emperor is crowned, and you play for 6 hours straight, and by the end of that 6 hours your alliance gains the Emperorship, you have just as much chance of winning the title as someone who literally plays every day all day.)

No

Given there are/where some exploits in AP early on, the emp title is kinda of pointless and pvp isn't my only focus so not going to worry about things and it doesn't really matter to me.

King Arthur: I am your king.
Woman: Well I didn't vote for you.
King Arthur: You don't vote for kings.
Woman: Well how'd you become king then?

King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king.

I'm with Dennis on this one. ;-)

Not for the moment, particularly with this Campaign with the "exploits" on the PvP quests. I also believe that the current system is a little too open to the whole time=success mechanic.

Personally, there should be a separate scoring system where you accumulate a "bounty" that equates to a % of said points dependant on your total no. of points. Any players whom get the killing blow are awarded the majority of the bounty's value (or full amount if only player to inflict the damage).

NordJitsu

Yes

Um...yes? Obviously.

The Emperor gets a massive (and I do mean massive) power buff in PvP and a pretty darn powerful one in PvE as well.

Having an Emperor also benefits your whole alliance with a buff.

Plus its massive bragging rights (my guild Great House Hlaalu claimed an Emperor on the Goldbrand Campaign.)

ijRoberts

No

I voted "no" simply because I won't ever be able to play enough to attain that rank. However, I think it's a cool thing to have in the game for other people to try an achieve, and certainly would do what I can to help a friend or guildmate fill the role.

Smoey

Yes

I cared about killing the Emperor and I achieved that but the title is something to fight for. I just wish they would allow us to upgrade keeps.

Do you care about Emperor? Yes or no. The description below are just ideas not mandates. Don't make it harder then it has to be:)

... It is obviously not clear as people are posting in this thread with various reasons for why they said "Yes" which contradict the reasons others said "Yes".

A "No" response might be: "I don't care if I become Emperor," "I don't like the Emperor system," "I do like the system but don't care if I become Emperor," etc.

Genev

Yes

I care about my guildies getting emperor, it's nice bragging right and a pretty good buff (not that we need it atm) Other people getting emperor is pretty "/shrug, whatever"

Though you could say that I still care then since my guildies aren't getting it when somebody else has it?

Jahoel

No

Points should reset often. Without resets, it's just a game of who can stay in Cyrodiil the longest, and farm the most points while there.

scratchnsniff

No

Most players will never sniff emperor. The play time required just isn't worth it.

Libertine

No

this whole emperor thing kinda reminds me of the early wow High Warlord Title...when you saw one you just knew he hadnt left his moms basement for a month...

TheGrandAlliance

Yes

It appears the population is against the very reason PvP exists here in the first place. No matter there is always time for Change to be So...

ZiRM

No

No, not my thing.

beravinprb19_ESO

Yes

I don't like it, and the reason for that is quite simple. I will never experience it because of the amount of time and effort it would take. I would much rather have a system in place where the leader of your alliance becomes the emperor, and you get significant PvE and PvP buffs as a result. When I say buffs, I don't mean stuff that makes the winning side even stronger. I'm talking about useful things that don't actually impact gameplay, like +15% experience, selling items for 25% more, or +20% Inspiration points from crafting.

Funkadelic

Yes

Emperor gets crazy boosts and passives. Having an emperor on your team is always a good thing. Sure its not the end of the world to not have one; but this is PvP scraping up any advantage and flinging it at your opponents face is always a must.

Kizzarse

No

No - because the only challenge to be an Emperor is to spend all your game time in Cyrodiil. And skill doesnt come into play, game time and where to farm AP to get the title. So u have ppl almost 24/7 to stay ontop.

Also Emperor doesnt have any effect on the war, its not like u kill the Emperor and the faction that the Emperor belongs to get a morale debuff and have all their stats reduce.

So out of 1600 people in the whole Campaign u have 1 person Emperor! Why focus on that one person when the game is actually about the 1600 people playing in Cyrodiil? Incentives should be given to people in Cyrodiil having fun not 1 person who can spend lots of time in Cyrodiil.

stevenyaub16_ESO

No

I like to pvp, and i do it half the time when im not doing pve stuff. But as for the emperor title i don't really care to much, I don't think ive even seen one in a battle or fight. They probably just farm lowbies coming out of keeps or something, so emperor status doesnt seem to matter much in the scope of things.

SwampRaider

Yes

Many of you are mentioning that it's stupid that you have to be a no lifer to be emperor.

The emperor is a nice reward for those who have no life. I support it 100%

It's not like the emperor is that far ahead anyway.

1,00,000 AP Empress
870,000 2nd place
660,000 3rd place
540,000 4th place

Gisgo

No

Nah i dont really care to know whos nerding harder.

Dolenz

No

I'm only a casual PvP guy and spend most of my time in PvE so the Emperor tootle means next to nothing for me.

...that is a MASSIVE distance my friend.... when your rivals are always online. You will never catch up to someone that is more then 100k above you... likely 50K if they are indeed "a no-lifer".

eiswar

Yes

yes and yes!!!

NTclaymore

Yes

I think its an interresting concept. I wished they waiting a week before starting the leaderboard tho. Im in top 500 because i dont wanna burn too much content. I wanna enjoy it fully before i start to go all out PvP. ohwell. I plan on playing this a long time so maybe when the leaderboard reset ill try go for the title ^^ Its interresting helping others getting the skillline aswell. Its a great idea and never heard of in the ES games! I approve

TheGrandAlliance

Yes

WEll according to future plans as indictated on the AMA: IT doesn't look like Emperor situation is gonna change anytime soon...

imperial

No

I voted no because I'm interested more in being a team member than personal glory and not played much pvp

Thechemicals

Yes

Everyone who doesnt care hasnt been an emperor. Nothing like owning armies and watching troops gather around your feet kissing them.

Milanna

No

Not the slightest.
There are lots of things I don´t care about.
