WHICH TEAM ARE YOU ON?

In Battlegrounds, you're not fighting for Queen Ayrenn, High King Emeric, or Jorunn the Skald-King, but for the Fire Drakes (Orange), Pit Daemons (Green), or Storm Lords (Purple). The glory and spoils are yours for the taking!

    I like purple.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    Not that I PvP, but the Pit Daemons easily has the best looking banner, with the Storm Lords comming in at a close second, and the Fire Drakes are far, far behind.

    - The Storm Lords from Narsis, Morrowind

    Scratches head.....need a lot more info as I don't follow why we would pick a side at all if it's 4v4v4.

    Group members are who we are fighting for unless this new thing is some other type of faction

    Can't imagine the complaints if these aren't permanent but if Cyrodil and IC remains faction permanent.

    Hmm, i think it's more about leaderboards maybe? I don't really know. The article didn't give much info on "teams" or why we have purple, green, orange. Are you randomly placed in a team? Can you choose team etc?

    I don't mind though. I like the idea of people choosing a team to play on the leaderboards.

    Well, then I'm going for the Fire Drakes instead. Because I'd rather be "Elsweyr" ;)

    The most logical explanation is that the teams are randomly assigned.
    Picking your team ahead of time would only slow down the queues.
    Really we do it without like, the musical instruments. This is the only musical: the mouth. And hopefully the brain attached to the mouth. Right? The brain, more important than the mouth, is the brain. The brain is much more important.

    This is hard. Blood of my enemies red, evil necromancer green, or sorcerer purple....

    I am undecided between the Pit Daemons and the Storm Lords, being a magic sorc (because ZOS never fixed magblades), but I think I am leaning towards the former in anticipation of a necromancer skill tree.

    Of course, I'm no PvPer, but maybe battlegrounds will tickle my fancy, unlike Cyrodiil.
    With cold regards,

    Søren Icehelm, N'wah Warden
    Fargoth of Morrowind, Bosmer commoner

    Fire drakes, because elsweyr.

    I find it interesting that these teams are combinations of the alliance colors in cyrodiil: orange is yellow+red, or dominion and ebonheart. Green is yellow+blue, or dominion and covenant. Purple is red+blue, or ebonheart and covenant.

    Hmm, I don't think these are static teams... I was under the impression that you just get assigned randomly to a team at the start of each BG session, basically just as a means of distinguishing teams.
