Need new Campaign.. Suggestions?

Wolfaen · June 2014

Now that we have verified that this lag in Wabbajack is here to stay for a long time after the failed patch today, I am ready to move campaigns. I am AD and I am wanting to know if there are any other campaigns that have a decent showing every night from DC and EP mainly on NA primetime. I'd like a decent number of enemies to hunt down. Do yall have any suggestions? Bloodthorn, Auriel's Bow, and Chrysamere seem like they may be decent??

Bloodthorn is a no go. I am DC and I've been on Bloodthorn since the beginning and most nights we own the entire map. On Friday and Saturday nights guesters always come in take everything, which we promptly take back.

Ill be honest, the only campaign that has decent numbers that I have been a part of is Wabbajack. They really need to get rid of half the campaigns.

I was in Auriel's Bow since early access but lately it's been absolutely dominated by AD to the point that there was no point in going anymore, unless you enjoy spawn camping. I moved to the new Celarus campaign as soon as it came out but it seemed to only attract a few AP farmers and it's a virtual ghost town. So I moved to Wabba, since it's the only server with population that seems at least a little balanced and during prime time the lag is so bad it's nearly unplayable. The short answer is there aren't any good options for pvp anymore until the devs fix it.

AD Chrysamere is pretty much just one guild that only gets on to nightcap their guys for emp, or defend it. After they lose it, we dont see them again until they feel like the next in line needs former emperor. Things change ofc, but atm, I would advise not.

Guested in skull crusher a bit, seemed balanced, maybe try that. Or just do two rotations in Celarus until the campaigns end. Good luck!

But is there a decent size DC and EP presence? I don't mind solo pvping.

There are decent numbers of EP and DC in Chrysamere. Just no AD.

I am DC on Auriel's Bow as well ... and yes it is dominated by AD. Sometimes we can take a few keeps during primetime, but AD comes back late at night after we log off. I honestly don't remember now how many days it's been since I've seen a Pact adventurer in Cyrodiil.

If you want to fight come to Bloodthorn. Yes DC owns most nights but EP does have a presence and can make things interesting. Usually AD stays hidden in there hole, so it would be tough but more fun than pve'ing on the other servers.

Chrysamere could use 20+ Active AD. Currently on NA prime time its 20 DC vs 30+ EP vs 2-4 AD

The AD is so low pop here, that the few AD in the campaign have lost faction pride and are working with us because EP owns the entire map.

BTW: this is a call for help from DC or AD guilds. Guest into Chrysamere NA and turn it yellow or blue. its all red now

Great feedback all. The wife and I are on Hopesfire and we have had it with AD owning everything and EP/DC have just given up, take a look at esostats if you want confirmation. So what we are doing is to grind out AP through scouting missions to get into a campaign that actually has a decent PvP scene. have heard Waba has horrific lag so that is out, from what I am reading here and looking at esostats and reading the forums, it seems Voldenrung, Goldenbrand and Chrysamere have a pretty decent PvP scene and are decently balanced. My wife and I play DC, and are normally active in PvP during the AM Sun-Wed due to work, any suggestions on which of the three to pick? Thanks!

The problem with people suggesting 'balanced' campaigns is... how can the other campaigns get balanced?

I know, weird statement, but I strongly believe in it.

After tonight I bet you saw at least 4 of them running the DC gate lol.

I'd rather have lag free fights than a completely balanced campaign. Only issue is, there isn't many people to fight outside of Wabbajack.

This is really frustrating.. I did not expect their servers to have so many issues when they bragged over and over about how advanced and stable their servers would be. Just sucks because I love TES games and I love MMOs the same, but after two months in TESO, I am starting to get discouraged..

Regardless, if they are somehow able to fix the lag and condense the campaign list to keep the campaigns populated, then I could see myself playing this game for a long time. I am less concerned with bug fixes which will come with time, but unplayable lag is a major issue that needs to be addressed immediately.
