I rolled EP and enjoyed it but...

- The lore and quests look hugely watered down. In Warhammer Online I played a Dark Elf, part of the "evil guys" and the game REALLY depicted the very harsh lifestyle, the harsh lore, the endless faction hatred against the "othe elves" and their allies and so on. They entertrained in slavery and showed it.

I know TES <> Warhammer world, but hey, EP should use DEMONS and similar other less than holy ways. They are slavers as well. However it's like playing Barbie not Dunmer, it's PEGI 7!

AD are more "politically correct MMO" friendly, so if anything you can play something a bit closer to the real thing.

Just because a caster rolls AD, he gets 3k mana for free. Since patch 1.6, spell power is the only stat better than having a lot of mana.
Every video you see now shows AD sorcs with those 32k mana pools and 18k health.
An EP sorc has to EITHER go for 30k mana pool and 13.5k (you read it well, 13.5k, deadly for any veteran / trial PvE!) or go for 28k mana and 18k health. This is some great DPS loss, for a class that is already struggling keeping up against the other DPS classes.

- AD are what Alliance is in WoW, Rebels are in SWTOR and so on: "The Good Guys" / "Popular guys" and thus tend to attract loads of players. In MMOS numbers matter, they give a faction the upper hand by default. Only with great efforts, the others may try keep up.

You make no sense at all. AD is the evil faction in this game. They are pretty much the same guys that caused some havoc in europe during 30s and 40s. DC are good guys and EP are neutral.

Next time I'll stop flogging a slave because he took too long to bring me the ingredients to summon a Daedra to mass slaugther other slaves, I am going to fondly recall my polite neutrality.

There are a LOT of new players, besides of many re-rollers. You can tell them apart by checking their dyes; when you see a lot of medium brown combined with some kind of mint green, these are new

Dunosaur

This interesting so ... what happen to AD cause in first 6months we dominated a lot in NA servers, did everyone swap factions or quit?

Anyway will agree AD is pretty boring PvE preferred other factions but also didn't like it cause everything was screw the dominion in DC/EP campaign & make worse as an imperial plenty of hate their as well ;p
Although will say kinder wish Imperials could be their own 4th faction

Not really, I have 5 alts and I did not bother dying a single of their gear so far
I am going to do that when they are VR14 and get gear that won't change and mismatch every 2 hours.

AD's Queen makes the most sense out of all the leaders in the alliances. The Skald King and High King Emeric both have hidden agendas up their sleeves while Queen Ayrenn has the purest ideals. Granted they may seem naive, but her leadership is towards truth and justice.

The high elves later become Lawful Evil, EP are Chaotic Evil, DC is Lawful Good (which is why they have the fewest numbers).

BTW we just took ANOTHER scroll in Chillrend, that's 3 campaigns that AD owns.

The factions presented in ESO are correctly represented. If you assumed EP was "evil" because they had dark elves you were poorly informed.

We must be playing completely different games. EP is very open with their stance towards the other factions, and even how they feel about each other. They are the only faction not under the naivety of "everybody getting along and working together because the world can be sunshine now that all our differences are put behind us! "

Ayrenn is vastly the most uninteresting of the leaders, we go through 2 entire zones just holding her hand while she struggles to get her own people (both living and ancestors) to listen to her. Emeric at least feels like he had things going on in the background when we aren't around him, Ayrenn felt like she she was always waiting for the next play-date.

You must be on a different map to me, all I see in a red blob marauding the countryside.

Oh look we own Haderus AND Chillrend the two busiest campaigns

madterryk

You should join the pact.... Why because we have Nords... Like Rigurt the Brash..... And you get wander the majestic peaks of Skyrim!!!!!! Nords drink and party!!! And Dark Elves excel with fire- and they bid it to burn!!!!

What do the ADs have? a bunch of whiney chattering elves and thieving rabid cats.
And the Covenant? Dull dagger blades that only cut their own fingers...

Watch it bud!

But if you have any race any faction none of that matters because you get to "experience" all 3 anyway

It's always busy, 24/7 and it's great for trading anything at any level. If you were chasing that last VR14 piece of whatever, you'll find it there. Plus everything is close by, blacksmithing, clothing, wood working, enchanting, alchemy, dye station etc.

I'd say it's the most stable trade day in, day out.

yep AD zones are for you if you enjoy nothing but jungle for 3 straight zones . with poor design meaning long rides round pointless cliffs to get to objectives..

and the altmer are just a bunch of arrseholes really when you follow the story..the worst faction by far.

Heromofo

AD may have the largest population and own alot of the campaigns.
But you want to play as the underdogs we needs numbers but mainly the elf queen is a child or something to them.

I enjoyed questing and it was always straightforward and fast for me, not sure where you were questing at.

AD is overpopulated, so you should roll AD. That's what I got out of this.

Well it makes for a more enjoyable experience in my opinion, the main point to take away from this is Rawl'kha.
