Did we really need another campaign?

BigTone

Was the addition of Trueflame really necessary? I do not believe so since all you see on the forums are people complaining that it is too difficult to find decent fighting in Cyro. Adding another campaign just makes us spread out even more. Considering the vastness of Cyro, the sewers, and the Imperial City itself it is harder and harder to find enemies.Your thoughts?

yes

For now it's good, the 200+ queues for Imperial City were too long. ZOS can close it once things simmer down.

Ishammael

yes

But they also should increase pop caps too.

Psilent

yes

A lot of people have jobs and can't play at all hours; so when they would login after work, all the campaigns were locked and they were stuck waiting in a long queue. Trueflame solved this issue.

The reason why Cyrodiil is so empty is due to population caps in each campaign being very small compared to what the map was supposed to handle.

They need to lock up Imperial City to where you need all your home keeps plus one enemy keep to enter it, it would draw people out into Cyrodiil again for pvp.

Etaniel

yes

We've had 3 additional campaigns here in EU and they are all locked/high in the evening. What's needed is higher popcaps, not more campaigns. Locked campaigns can feel empty as well

Honestly, I have no idea how many campaigns or what population limits we need before seeing what happens with gated access.

Come one come all! Farm AP to get the permanent emperor title once the new campaigns are closed down after all the PvE-ers finish their content!

We thought of it. I'd laugh if that actually works.

It's happened almost every other time a campaign has closed, so I don't see why it wouldn't happen this time.

That's true, Im just assuming PvP will die back down and that extra campaign will be useless (on NA at least). Whether it's left open is up to ZOS though, so you're right.

ThyIronFist

yes

The people that voted "no" must enjoy 300+ queues.

AbraXuSeXile

no

All campaigns are dead even though pop locked, stop adding more... raise pop and less campaigns.

frozywozy

yes

Since they opened Trueflame, the Q during primetime for EP on Azura Star dropped from 120 to 20.

Great initiative ZOS!

No, just on the NA server.

TrueFlame gave the queues some rest BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY gave us another 30 day campaign. We may in fact lose a campaign once things quiet down, but it wont be Trueflame. Chill or THorn could go away and no one would miss them.

This.

Last time I was on, AS pop locked, True 3 bars, Had AD/DC pop locked and EP 2 bars. Chill and Thorn were pop locked for EP, everyone else at 1-2 bars, while EP had emp and most of the map. Also on Chill EP had all the scrolls and all the points while the other two had 0 score. My bet is Chill will be the one to get killed off.

Well in NA they just needed an all EP only campaign spilt into 3 teams so they can fight each other, and there would still be enough to fill the other 4 campaigns at prime time.

Draxys

no

They should have increased pop caps. I would bet that they added it so that the crying pve players who are shouting and banging their fists on the floor would have a higher chance of farming stones without running into enemies

RDMyers65b14_ESO

yes

I have heard that the higher pops caused more lag and so that is not the answer. I can see the wisdom of changing to gated access. Even with the added campaign, there is a 100+ queue on Azura's at night.

Mr_Nobody

no

on NA theres basically 1 campaign that is pop locked on all 3 sides ~

4 other ones have 1 side locked. Ive been on Chillrend for the last week where ad/dc had 1-2 bars at most with EP pop locked 24/7. I had some fun and farmed some good amount of stones! Its bad large guilds' decisions that choose to play on locked campaigns whilst making their guildies to wait hours to play and other campaigns dead and/or 1 sided.

Rylana

yes

Zazeer needing something new to conquer.

Also Azuras was lulzy with 200 queues. Definitely needed.

DisgracefulMind

yes

I really like Trueflame, I'm glad they added it.

kevlarto_ESO

yes

seems like both 30 days are now locked across the board east coast prime time, nice to see, might need to add another if it keeps going. NA/PC

BigTone

no

We have dead campaigns and open land with no players everywhere. Raising pop cap and forcing some players to play on servers like Chillrend or Thornblade would eliminate PvDooring and help spread out players. Now we have poeple sitting in 70 person q's saying "oh I'll wait" instead of playing on the other campaigns.
