Is the ebonheart pact being targeted?

Hey Guys first time post and also dyslexic so sorry if spelling is off. ive been playing eso for a while now and i am noticing a consistent poor performance in the alliance war on the EP front. i just want to know is that due to poor co-ordination or are they being singled out?

I've noticed many an EP player rolling DC toons (Hell, all of Vehemence is!), who state they:

• Are tired of queues
• Don't like the population imbalance
• Want a challenge
• Have issues with EP as a whole
• Have issues with multiple individuals
• A combination of 2 or more of the above

Perhaps there are others going to AD as well, I would not know.

And there's a general "Up yours" feeling shared between AD and DC towards EP.

It is my holy duty to spread the word of Dee Tick to DC, that their souls may be saved and not be fated to fill soul gems.

Well on the EU server theres been a few times where a hell of a lot of us has worked together together to take a keep, we coild do a lot more though. Also it seems as though aldmeri dominion cant take a keep on theor own, been a few times where they've waited for people to get into a keep only to come behind and take it, think of it like kill stealing on cod (ew) but on mich larger scale and much,much more frustrating. It's pretty much the only reason they're at the top on the eu campaigns.

Waiting for another faction to breach it first and then kill everyone is much more fun than siegeing yourself.

Everyone hates Ep, don't you know that?

Most people are taking it easy and kind of farming it up at the moment. Until the servers are locked, there aren't really any consistent fights or battles, people will wipe a few times and changer servers, leaving you to fight the unorganized randoms left behind or PvEdoor an empty keep. Once people are locked on a server, you will likely see the EP guilds coming much more to the fore, and making strong efforts on campaigns that matter where they and their enemies cannot simply leave at the first sign of adversity.

It all changes. It used to be that way between EP and DC towards AD. And on certain servers, between EP and AD toward DC. The current feelings are mostly a product of how many people rerolled Pact, and how many organized guilds can be mustered when needed. It can be crushing and discouraging to play against, i speak from experience remembering the Bloodthrorn days, and the Wabba/early Thorn gatecamps.

This is what happens when you don't specify the server and campaign you're talking about.

The imbalance part I can buy but the challenge part?........what challenge?

sKorcheD

The vibe used to be screw AD. Now it's EP's turn(self inflicted).
Dat Alessia front door is a very magical place.

Was pleasantly surprised to see Gizit in DC zone chat on BWB last night saying that Vehemence re-rolled. Should make things interesting when the guild gets into the vet campaigns.

Publius_Scipio

Destroy the Ebonheart Pact. Destroy Havoc.

rfennell_ESO

There is only so many times the lag switch can be turned on before even the skeptic realizes it's deliberate and an exploit, particularly when used to defend an emp keep.

There are still skeptics, there always will be... but there are a lot more players that know an exploit is intentionally being used by one faction.

With the re-rolls it will obviously be 2 factions doing it, that's progress all right!

Forestd16b14_ESO

So there really is no faction pride. I remember when ESO was announced and there live beta at quakecon happened and every one was so hyped about the whole faction thing with AvA and 3 way pvp and so on and every one knew who they were gonna swear there loyalty too. Now it's which every faction benafits PvP the most is who every one rolls with. This makes me a sad pact warrior and i'm 77% sure any one else who is still loyal to there banner.

Faction Pride won't do you a whole lot when the PVP community rolls over and dies.

Something akin to a pop-locked DC server still get pushed back to the High Rock gates...

I heard the real reason Vehemence rerolled was that they didn't want to miss out on all that EP Brandonzerg AP.

Will take us a while to get there, but we hope it does indeed help make the 3-way battle more even.

I'm here for good pvp, I care very little for the RP aspect of it, and I think many, if not most, of the serious pvpers and pvp guilds feel the same way.
Pvp needs some rebalancing in order to remain fun and competitive, and it's obvious that ZOS can't or won't fix it, so if players and guilds are taking it into their own hands by rerolling to the weakest faction, then they're doing a service to all of us. I understand it's not for everyone, but you shouldn't try to discourage people who are trying to help the game.

Not surprised, back at launch it was AD massively outnumbering the other factions and getting hate on the forums, then they had an exodus to EP, and the tables flipped. All EP has to do is have an exodus to DC and DC start getting hate on the forums, and the cycle will be complete! Mouahaha!

Did everybody that needed bites get theirs? It'll be a few days before my 2 bites are back up, but I have guildies who can probably give them out.
