Pvp is 100% broken for Aldmeri Dominion

lietztyler

I have 3 different characters all in Aldmeri Dominion each in their own campaigns, which means 6 different campaigns. I notice something in every campaign. All the maps are always default with the factions being in the same spot with a huge island between Ebonheart and Daggerfalls. So every single pvp battle it makes the most sense for daggerfall and and Ebonheart to push down and take half of Aldmeri Dominion each then battle it out half and half of the map. Which means Aldmeri Dominion will always be on the defensive between 2 factions and will never be able to take any land. It's totally bull. We have lost every single pvp map because we in right between 2 factions. It need a to be randomized. Developer's should not make any one faction at a huge disadvantage

What?

Dominion is always winning. Ps4.

Every campaign I look at the other teams are spawn camped.

Lol. I dream of a distant and fantastic world where vr 14 vamps aren't murdering their way through pact bodies.

I'm sorry but I am a bit happy to learn it actually happens.

I'm just going to give you the benefit of the doubt here, but I really shouldn't.

The map is basically a giant triangle with each faction occupying a corner. Each faction has a set of home keeps and equal access to the six emperor keeps. There are divisions and choke points equally separating each faction from each other.

I think you're in that mindset because AD is on the bottom. Look at the map, then turn your head to put either EP or DC at the bottom. Exact same map.

The campaign I'm on, AD is doing work.

I think you are missing the point here guys. OP Is right.

IF you take gravity in to account, clearly this is the obvious tactic

Apart from the fact that DC never need to work with anyone and when the pain train roles in EUPC we take both AD and EP

Honestly I think AD actually has a slight advantage on the map because of where the bridges and mountains are.

Fact is, fighting is easiest on the alessia bridge or the area between ash and nikel. Flat ground, easy to get to, with some strategic bottle necks.

Fighting sucks in the area between ash and arrius. Ground is clumsy, different elevations.

Because of this, AD gets hammered on two fronts way more than any other faction.

I dont know why people are now posting AD is doing work because spawn camping. The only reason Aldmeri Dominion spawn camps is because we are greatly outnumbered and loosing to the point that grinding individual points by camping spawn makes the most sense because your fighting a loosing battle. And people say its dividied equally but Aldmeri castles are more dividied and if daggerfalls and ebonheart were to fight across they have clusters of castles for any respawns. Our load out is 2 castles then 1 than 2.so if ebonheart and daggerfalls were to attack us at once easily. They could be guaranteed a win at leasr one of them because we would only have 1 castle to respawn to split off and divide our forces to defend our castles like i said when each time the campaign restarts it should move the factions not make it set that Aldmeri Dominion is set at the bottom every time

Your two-one-two are the gate keeps: Blackboot and Bloodmayne, the key keep: Fare, and two emperor keeps: Roe and Alessia. You also have Brindle and the outpost Nikel on the left side of the map. DC has two gate keeps: Warden and Rayles, a key keep: Glade, and two emp keeps: Ash and Ales. There is also Dragon and Bleakers up top. EP has Kings and Farr, then Arrius, then Chalman and BRK, with Drake and Sej on the right side.

It's one big triangle.

Wow, just wow!

• A perfect Triangle is a disadvantage for AD.
• Alliances only attack AD because they are at the bottom of the map.
• Spawn camping is reasonable because we are outnumbered. (yeah I'm sure you pushed the enemy to their spawns while being outnumbered and hit by EP & DC, you so good you *censored*)

I've never been more happy I'm not playing this game on console. For you reasonable normal human beings on console, I feel for you.. I really do.

Using the term normal normal human is a sign of psychological problems. Seek therapy. I never said push back to camp spawns. If blue us attacking yellow and they outnumber yellow it makes the most sense to camp outside the nearest blue castle because anyone that dies in the yellow castle take over is most likely to spawn at the closest blue castle to go back into battle

I find it funny that for about a year I was reading the AD was always winning on all the maps because they had the biggest population. Now on the consoles it is not the case and someone else is winning. I just find this humorous.

On ps4 we aren't winning on a single map. Lots of time its so broken that it says Aldmeri Dominion has a full server to the point we are in the queue for 45 minutes to load in to see we own 2 castles with my buddy in one castle me in the other and we have a total of 6 in one castle and 4 in the other and attacking nothing with 20 plus enemies outside each castle. So how would our server be full?

You're kidding right...

If you FLIP the map around, its the exact same thing but with different colours

I was gonna say that's when you use zone chat to gather forces but you play on PS4 and there is no text chat.

I don't think he's kidding. However, it's nice to see the Theory of the Universal Wavefunction might be proven true by this forum post!

I once fired an arrow from Glademist and hit and Altmer in the knee at Blackboot.

No troll any faction would rather push south than east or west. That has always been the case since the first wabba. Also AD has the low ground riding towards both EP and DC. This has nothing to do with the OP's hilarious thread, but it's a valid point.

Poor guy, he's going to be forced to sit at a resource as a guard now.

That's absurd. If you flipped the map, it'd all just be blank. How would you know where anything was then?

tinythinker

Can we really say that because those on PC have seen both EP whipped badly by Team Green and DC crushed by Team Orange, with frequent fighting observed between Aleswell and Chalman at the EP/DC border, that there isn't some developer created bias against AD that is causing them to lose on PS4 based on a player's (mis)perception of being slighted by geography?

Yeah, pretty much.

But after doing that, it might be helpful to point out that 1) a pop-locked Alliance doesn't mean that all of those people are actually trying to fight in the war and 2) lack of coordination weights heavily on any Alliance, whatever their numbers. It might also help to point out that the dominance of a particular Alliance is cyclical, and today's losing faction may very well be running the map a month from now.

If an Alliance seems like it can't hold its own, or if they are already being heavily attacked by another Alliance, the third faction often prefers to jump in and pile on the one that is on the defensive. Not always, but it happens. Of course, it also sometimes happens that the third faction sees a chance to put a dagger in the back of the aggressor by sweeping into its sparsely defended territory. Not sure how Alliance-wide coordination is going with so many new players and no text chat on consoles, but, coordination helps with strategy. Otherwise individuals and small groups will tend to migrate to the current battlefront rather than start a new one.
