(9")----o Campaign Durations t("t)

Wolfaen · June 2014

As posted by @ZOS_BrianWheeler and proposed by the ZOS team, there will be changes coming to Cyrodiil Campaigns soon.

We want to make significant changes to the types and durations of Campaigns. To do this, we’d shut down the currently-existing Campaigns and introduce five new ones per megaserver. Here are the Campaign types and durations we’re thinking about adding:

• Bow of Shadows: Veteran Rank only Campaign (five-day campaign)
• Blackwater Blade: Non-Veteran only Campaign (five-day campaign)
• Haderus: seven-day standard Campaign that anyone can join.
• Chillrend: seven-day standard Campaign that anyone can join.
• Thornblade: 30-day standard Campaign that anyone can join.

Let us know what you think of these changes!

The main concern that I have seen in the Upcoming Campaign Changes thread is with the Campaign durations. I wanted to get the players feedback specifically on this topic. ZOS wants to know what we think so lets give them a piece of our minds!

What is your ideal Campaign Durations?

Slightly Longer Durations - 14 Days(Vet/Non Vet), 30 Days & 60 Days(Standard)

I prefer campaigns to be 15 days/30 days. Anything less than 2 weeks is too short in my opinion. Three months is a tad long, so one 30/60 days is ideal

Original Proposed Durations - 5 Days(Vet/Non Vet), 7 Days & 30 Days(Standard)

i have voted for original proposed durations - FOR NOW

reason - there are a LOT of bugs, exploits and game mechanics that still need to be addressed and being 'stuck' in a 90 day campaign that could be overrun by emperor farmers and cheats and exploiters and having to pay 100,000AP to be rid of their stench isn't very appealing to me

fix the bugs, exploits and game mechanics - ban the exploiters - and have life long campaigns!!!

in reality at best we can hope for the fixing of the bugs and game mechanics - alas the cheats and exploiters will always be amongst us, no matter how many you exterminate

I voted "slightly," but I think there should be a full range. I would like to see 5 for the people who want something more intense and 90 for those who want more time to implement longer strategies or experience the ebbs and flows of a long campaign.

I also think the number of campaigns is a little low. I actually enjoy being part of a low-pop server. Yeah, it's can be a little frustrating when you want some action and no one is on, but I find my graphics card straining at the 20v20 battles. I can't even imagine how it would handle a 100v100 one. Plus, I have actually enjoyed being able to explore Cyrodiil a bit without fear of a gank squad around every corner.

14 days and 30 days. 60 is too long and 7 days is too short. Will play whatever they put out there though. Having fun in bloodthorn even being way out numbered from both DC and EP. Would like to see them combine auriels bow and bloodthorn, leave wabba and add the non vet server plus one or 2 more. Just ready to call a server home again since dawnbreaker is a ghost town.

I think a week is too short in all honesty. I think 90 days (after participating in a 90 day one is tragically too long)

So 60 days sounds a little better. Guilds can compensate for busy work weeks and no t being able to play etc.

I also question the emp title being handed out in week campaigns. We have already seen that the title is farmed and traded like potions.Don't want that.

AAAAHHHHH KILL IT WITH FIRE

For me, I think 60 days would be ideal for a real meaningful war in Cyrodiil. I could see 30 days being ok too, but anything less than that wouldn't have that "war-like" feel. The current 90 days seems a little bit too long. I just feel like most campaigns, score-wise would be decided by 60 days.

For me, I would be much more excited about playing to win in a 30 or 60 day campaign rather than just playing to kill.

Good poll, choices varied and applicable.

5 days is waay to little, 14 days would seem much more appropiate for the quick ones... 30 days is good enough for the long ones

i picked only for the duration, but I feel they shouldn't split the servers. especially a Vet only server. Let the standard servers be for everyone who wants to play, then those 50 or less have there own.

Yes, I definitely agree with you on the Vet only server. I do not think it is needed and will just divide the population even more.

Initially I was going to make the poll with more options about the campaign changes as a whole, but decided it was going to be too complicated and too many options to get good information. I simplified it to focus just on campaign durations because that seems to be the most controversial and impactful change that was proposed.

So far I am satisfied with the votes we have come up with here! Hopefully more will continue to give their opinions. I feel like if they change the campaigns to the proposed 5 and 7 days then they will be killing Cyrodiil. Maybe I am wrong in this matter, but so far it looks like the majority wants longer campaigns.

How about? NONE OF THE ABOVE

Keep some 90 day ones... rest (like sub vet only and vet only ones) make them 14 days. All mixed should be 90 days.
