I have pretty much stopped caring about PvP until this is resolved. It is not worth my time or effort to play on a PvP map like this, when it is off-hours PvE that wins the campaign.

Different campaigns should have different down times, so that everyone has a place to play, but noone can 'night-cap' the map like is happening now. Give the Aussies (and anyone else in that part of the world) their own campaign, and if they decide to continue not to fight each other, at least they won't be pissing on anyone elses fun.

Well looks like SOMEONE here has a few entitlement issues.

For asking that PvP be competitive, so that people actually care about winning? I have nothing against Aussies or anyone else who is in a different timezone...I just don't want them coming in and changing the scoreboard once everyone else goes to bed or work.

What is so wrong with having different campaigns for different timezones? It would be great if there were enough players to have all factions have a decent sized army at all hours, but that simply isn't the case.

ZOS merged campaigns because there were to many of them and most were low populated and you want that back? Creating more campaigns is not solution.

Merge EU and US campaigns.

Lol, great idea. You'll have queues of 500 people at prime time and the servers will go kaboom.

Should the servers be shut at night?

Short answer: No.

Somewhat longer answer: ESO is a persistent game. I could have insomnia and want to log on at 4am EST, or I could be an Aussie. The game should be available anytime.

Long answer: Your use of the term "server" has really skewed the conversation against you. Since your post mainly refers to PvP, you should have titled this thread "Should the campaigns be shut at night?"

If we define "night" as a specific chunk of the 24hr day, and given that ZoS can create campaigns with whatever special rules they want, then why not? Leave the existing 24hr campaigns as they are, but why not add a special campaign that was only open 8hrs per day, aligned with NA, EU or Oceanic prime-time?

Honestly, I'm really more for any weird/special rules to differentiate the campaigns other than just length. The special rules are a perfect way to try all sorts of interesting things to shake up PvP. So why not give a time-windowed campaign a shot? I'd be for it.

Let us remember that people from all over the world play ESO on the NA servers, and that people who work night shifts and swing shifts play too. This means that limiting access to part of the game at any given point is ludicrous. If your faction doesn't have the coverage then it doesn't. Its a game. Get on and take your stuff back.

Different campaigns for different time zones would be awesome, but actually shutting down the servers is complete nonsense. Our nighttime may be their daytime. A time zone based campaign would not be a problem. I would like to see how these AD oceanic guilds would do if this gets implemented.

After repeated whining by various losing factions both sides of the pond, should ZoS shut the servers at night so that those who have "lives" or have to go to bed can wake up and not be upset that the map has changed colour?

Its seems that some are upset that they are losing to these people who apparently have no lives in this "GAME" so in the interest of all that is fair I would like to know what others think.

If we do think the servers should be shut down so those who cannot play the "GAME" later in the evening at what time do we suggest shut off should be??

10pm?? for those that are sent to bed with the cries of "but MOOOMMM they will take the keeps"?

11pm?? for those who need to go to work and send in the excuse to the boss "Im sorry I wont be in work today as I had to stop The gate of mnem from being opened??

Or is it a case of sour grapes and we should keep the server open all night??
I await your thoughts.

ach blerghhhhhhhh

I posted in another thread, Simply scale the points earned per tic on Population difference.

If you have 3 Bars of population, and you're fighting 1 bar population realms, you should receive less points per thing owned. Like for example, if you controlled everything on the map, and you have 3 bars or locked, normally it'd be like 400 or close to it, instead you'd get only 75 points instead. That way if you have long stretches of time outnumbering your opponent, you don't get a massive point lead.

Ahhh classic American, assuming that they are the only ones in the world lol, I would love only being able to play from 10 at night until 7 in the morning good plan guys keep it up

Fluffies thoughts of servers:

1. They need to be turned off every night at 8 pm EST till 8 am EST. (Fluffy needs his sexy sleep)
2. They need to be turned off whenever I am doing something important like going to a funeral or the store.
3. They need to be turned off whenever I am eating, cant get emp when I'm munching on a slice of pizza.
4. The need to be turned off whenever I feel like it, I get bored of crashing sometimes.
5. ZoS needs to just give me a button to turn them off when I feel like it.

I think if we had these things it would be perfect pvp!

Sure thing, when it's time for you to go to bed, I'll just pop a quick email over to ZOS and ask them to shut the servers down so you can get some beauty sleep.

The arrogance of some people in other parts of the world wanting to play the game while you are asleep. It's shocking!

Dude, you have it spot on. Thank you for being so understanding.

when i go to bed at night most of the keeps are all owned by ep, dc, and ad.
when i come home from work all keeps are yellow. everything owned by ad.
everything.
so we ep go in and start takin back keeps untill late evening and the ep come in and dont fight us, but instead just use bat swarm and fire staff spam fire constant. it's not pvp, thats just stupid spaming an ability that cant be protected against.
and you try to say jump out of the way but that wont work when u got 50 - 100 people spaming bats and fire. pure fire everywhere and bats, how the heck is that pvp? it isnt, thats an exploit in my opinion.
day after day after day, never changes. 1st it was shield spam bashing, now fire spam bashing with bats. kinda stupid in my opinion.
and also they have killed so often from what i believe is cheating like that, that they have now achieved the highest ranks in pvp because of mass killing of people through these type of cheats.
wheres the justice? wheres our chance to compete with this?
