Hew's Bane is a cross-faction zone!? Thank you ZoS!

Yolokin_Swagonborn

You guys are reacting wrong. If you are all excited for this, ZOS will hotfix it immediately. If you all pretend to hate it and tell them its game-breaking, then it will remain in the game for three months. Gotta use reverse psychology here jk jk this looks cool though. If only you could flag yourself for pvp and attack them... I might buy this DLC.

If it is a bug, then if they can find out how to repucate it they could finally add a cross faction zone, which would be epic!
I think it would make a big hit for this dlc and make people want to buy it.

No cross faction zones.

The irony is: We can't even do that because Zenimax blocked cross-faction communication =D

@ShadowHvo Believe you can talk to cross faction characters.

You need to:
Type /tell <name>,

The , is very important otherwise it won't go through.

Or just group with them.

Ooooh. I guess that's kind of possible now with the new group finder thing.... I thought it said it doesn't work in Cyrodiil though (being able to group with a different alliance).. Didn't test it though.

You can also cross faction invite through guilds now. So you can invite dirrectly through guild roster, and friends lists.

@Thevampirenight Oh sorry, yes that's actually what I meant. I invited a cross faction friend to gruop via my friends list so I assumed it work for guild lists as well. I was more-so referring to the fact I thought that you can invite people but the only time you would see them would be in said dungeon.

This just shows how easy it would be to implement flagged PvP in such tiny zone. I have no idea why they don't want.

Well it might be possible for them to allow cross faction in the new zone if so then it would be epic!. Yeah I do think its time for cross faction no pvp zone where we can talk and rp with each other. This would also improve the sells of theives guild and they might raise the price on it. I know some rpers that won't buy the dlc because your forced to be a thief, but if you had cross faction they would most likly play the new content to get to the Cross faction rp zone!

ZOS likes to pretend that things are much harder then they are. In most companies, you can trace this attitude back to internal workflow issues. This happens in many production environments where a lot of the workflow is "people dependent" and not "process dependent." Plus I suspect there are elements inside ZOS that simply do not care for PvP. So they play up the amount of work required to implement any kind of PvP element.

But its amazing how exited the community gets for this time of thing despite the false narrative that most of the community doesn't want PvP, dueling, or cross-faction zones.

NovaShadow

I spent hours there and didn't see a single person from the other factions. Makes me question if it truly is cross-faction

Enodoc

Wait seriously?!?! Why is this not in the patch notes @ZOS_GinaBruno !! This is amazing!!

Cross-Faction Neutral Zones -- IT'S HAPPENING!

Here's what I posted in a previous thread back when they just announced cross-faction at Quakecon:

Enodoc wrote: »

Cross-faction is coming in the future; starting with dungeons then expanding outwards. I am thinking that dungeons will be followed by the Guild sanctuaries (Eyevea and the Earth Forge), and then going on to the Neutral Zones after that (Coldharbour, Craglorn, and Wrothgar/Orsinium).

Now let's see how that is progressing:

• Stage 1: Cross-faction dungeons with group finder
• Stage 2: Cross-faction without group finder
• Stage 3: Testing cross-faction in a small neutral zone <- You Are Here
• Stage 4: Cross-faction in other small neutral zones (Guild sanctuaries)
• Stage 5: Cross-faction in neutral zones, no exceptions

Now ZOS -- you know what you need to do next. I have a list that you must be fed up of seeing by now ( @Forestd16b14_ESO this also serves as the lore for why this is appropriate in these specific "neutral locations"; in short - nobody cares about the war in these zones):

• Coldharbour: All three alliance leaders have sanctioned the Guild-led invasion, so it would make sense for members of all alliances to be there.
• Craglorn: Politically neutral with no fealty to any alliance. The Star-Gazers are searching for help against the Celestials in each Alliance Capital, so it would make sense for members of all alliances to respond.
• Wrothgar: Kurog has stated this is a "truce zone"; invites have gone out across the alliances, and all adventurers are welcome.
• Eyevea and the Earth Forge:Members of the Mages Guild and Fighters Guild come from all alliances, and these are their safe zones, so people from all alliances should be there.

It's not cross faction. I have yet to see a single person from DC or AD in my Hew's Bane and I've been all over the damn city, everywhere. Not a single one.

The OP has clearly found a bug that needs to be fixed.

Yes, it need to be fixed. We shouldn't have to find other faction players because of a bug, but because of a feature (even if it's the same thing for ZOS sometimes).

Confirmed. (Well, best I could)

Tried a variety of ways to see a different alliance member in Hew's Bane. Grouping/ungrouping, porting etc. Can not see the other person.

LMar

Cross-faction neutrality would be awesome, please let the bug be a new way to enable this!

Tarrin

Is it fake or not?

MisterBigglesworth

ZOS, please give this cross-faction "bug" the ol' animation cancelling treatment:

DON'T FIX IT! CALL IT A FEATURE!

Enodoc

Tarrin wrote: »

I don't think it was fake, but we really need to find out whether it's intended or not.... The fact that there are "mechanics" around it (the yellow glow, the inability to attack), rather than it just being a slaughterfest like the initial testing of cross-faction dungeons on PTS supposedly was, suggests at least that some work is being done in the area.

No cross faction zones.

Lore is there to serve the game, not the other way around.

I can most ensure you that it isn't fake! I am as surprised and amazed as everyone else! O=

I guess it has been confirmed fake by the lack of official responses for more than 12 hours.

Unless they are genuinely intrigued by the 'thumbs-up' reaction to this bug and are stoically considering the positive outcomes of actually making cross-faction a thing.

Darlon

It might be the same that's also happening on live.

If you go into a group made with the grouping tool the group members always have a yellow alliance symbol, even if they're EP or AD....

SantieClaws

Three simple words.

This one. Wants. This.

Cross faction fishing, guild events, drunken parties - it's all khajiit has ever wanted in the game!

Make Santie happy today and tell me this is true please.

Yours with paws
Santie Claws

NewBlacksmurf

Heck yeah!!

Now let's do other zones like this (not all) but let's start with Craglorn too

Mos-De-Atmo

This thread is a roller coaster of emotions, but I really hope to see cross-Alliance zones in the future!

NBrookus

I am crushed that this seems like a bug.

Is that other guy outlined in yellow like you have the option of attacking him? And your single target skills are not disabled when he's targeted? Did you try to attack him?

What the **** is going on here?

We both tried, and we get the same janky animation as when you try to attack someone in an Imperial City safe-area. (No actual attacks are made, just half an animation.)

How 'bout some ground targeted AoE?

Wollust

Now enable PvP there and the new update might be loads of fun.

Zavus

This needs to be a thing. Some of the zones in this game are so damn dead that the only hope of reviving them would be to enable cross-faction.
