Why are YOU not in azuras star?

kevlarto_ESO

If it had more population during my play time I would be there, it is by far the best pvp to me.

Because I'm scared I'll get beat without CP

I'm old and slow. I need every advantage I can get.

Lol, troll post is troll. I'm not in Azura's Star because I actually want to use the CP I gained. As far as I'm concerned, AZ is full of pansies that can't stand the fact that someone who put in more time and/or effort into gaining an advantage beat them.

Sounds a lot like someone felt they needed CP to carry them through PvP.

You do realise most of the long time players including myself have invested millions into 2/3 gear sets each for our 5-8 toons with the CP factored in right?

Try running a stamDK with 5/5 hundings and 3/3 agility with SNB/2H or 2H/bow with all your enchants as stamina and all your jewellery as weapon damage with no CP. You will have around 500 stam regen. Which means your ass will get handed to you......

To play in Azura's I would need to re-enchant or re-craft an exclusive gear set that takes into account my lack of CP for regen/mitigation and completely backtrack my build. I did have sets that would have fullfilled this role around a year back when I had 100 CP. But I deconned/re-enchanted/re-crafted all of them to account for the fact that I now have 500 CP. Why the heck would I spend millions again just to go back to the old gear.......when I can just go to haderus/TF and now fight people who have similar CP to me + all the waah wahh I have no CP whiners are now going to Azura's. Now I call this a win-win. All the low CP newbies are in azura's and essentially almost everyone in had/TF has upwards of 300 CP. We can all have our balance.

This is the problem with the game everyone should just stack into dmg and leave CP up to sustain with no drawbacks. Which is un healthy for the game.

You are right though about the gear without cp you SHOULD get owned if you spec into full dmg your sustain should suck hence the term glass cannon. Mages in fantasy games (not just sorcs in this game) are suppose to be VERY squishy but the trade off is they can melt some ones face off but thats not the case in this game.

I would advise all of you to at least tryout the no CP campaign as it pretty enjoyable. And allows for more build diversty instead of following the META.

Those claiming that you work 'hard' for your CP well you did, but you also made the game soo easy for yourself that a 6 year old can play it. Think about it PVE is SO easy with CP that you can play in your UNDERWARE and do just fine.

Just remember when this game DIDN'T have CP you needed good resource sustain, now adays you just mash your face in the keyboard/controller and hope to win with no draw backs.

I am in azuras

Bias poll or not, I do agree with the OP and enjoy Azura's star much more than I do CP campaigns because CP campaigns are filled with nothing but Proxy Det/Lotus Fan/Soul Tether/Sap essence/Vicious curse for an almost unavoidable death regardless if you are in a zerg, small group or solo; it takes 0 effort or skill to do that. Without CP, that combo hits like a wet noodle (mostly) and so does every other annoying spammable move. There's actually skill involved because you have to be mindful of your resources whereas in a CP campaign, CP makes up a lot of your resource management and you can just build for flat out damage. You can still build for damage in no CP campaigns but if you fail to kill someone immediately and run out of resources, you're screwed so there's at least some level of build variety and that's always nice to have. I also don't have to deal with as much lag either so even more of a bonus.

It's a nice place to be overall. People will disagree ofc because they love their CP too much but honestly, even though I'm capped on CP, I have much more fun without them.

I am in azuras

All I can say is its a much more level playing field, at only 314 cp I can't go into any other campaign and have fun. So azuras is perfect for me, thank you zos.

Oh and to all the people on forums constantly xomplaing about lag, shut the f*** up and hop in azuras if your really that mad about it.

TX12001rwb17_ESO

Because I PvE as well by doing Dolmens and doing battle against NPCs in the Imperial City, now ask yourself what would you rather have when fighting a boss? 0 CP or 501 CP?

DannyLV702

I stay out of azuras to play with competitive players and to not bully people like you for easy AP

CP didn't make this game easy. The game was easy far before it. Bring back the difficulty just after launch (for PvE at least). New dungeons like vWGT and vICP are generically hard (creatures have higher health pools and do greater damage). But as for Azura's, people don't want to spend months (or years in my case) climbing CP totals just to have them removed to bring back a time before they existed. As someone else pointed out, it's not just the CP, it's the gear. The game went in the direction of new gear and extreme damage dealing builds. Don't blame the players for just moving along with it.

Or it could be people who are not good PvP'ers right now trying to get better

I am in azuras

Playable even if it's pop locked!

Waffennacht

To the OP: No CP is for beginners, so they can play PvP without being slaughtered. You're like in the kiddie pool calling to the adults to come in cuz the water is "just right." Sure you can do it, just don't expect anyone else to jump in.

Jakhajay

I am in azuras

I'm usually in Azura's, but it can be pretty one-sided at times. The other day I got sick of being repeatedly slapped down by blue zergs, so swanned off to Haderus and farmed some sweet sweet AP at BRK.

VDoom1

Im just in the same one as the rest of my guild, aka Trueflame. Thats why Im not in Azuras Star. Though the lag was unbelievable. I got multiple loading screens during combat. But it sure was a lot of fun. ^^ My group and some others managed to pull of an amazing defense of bleakers. I thought we were toast for sure, but nope we made it! We made a lot of ketchup.

Joy_Division

Mostly it's because of the egotistical people who insist that they are somehow more skilled than the people who don't play on the Azura's.

LiquidSchwartz

I am in azuras

Lol i play in azuras with my templar
It's pretty op
Only complaint is how hard it is to get ap cuz nobody plays

ArchMikem

I don't PvP at all

Because my guild is in another Campaign, however I don't care to PvP at all since all I do is sneak around trying not to get caught and or die every two minutes cause these "Pro Players" think it's great to spawn camp.

Firing my Balista from the spawn city's walls at an AD player using the Sitting in a Chair emote like he's being served an appetizer gets old, VERY fast.

Duiwel

Hey OP I found a picture of you

Workerdroid7

Azura is my home campaign.... and lately... I log in, see everything is yellow (again) while there are 2 or 3 bars of AD players (doing what, I don't know) and 1 bar DC and EP. No action anywhere, because weeks of experience has shown that IF a group of 10 players tries to take a resource, every single bored AD player will descend to take that resource back, immediately.

Azura is good fun in the late afternoon and early evening when the populations are slightly more balanced. If you are DC or EP and own a keep, it is also very fast and easy AP

For most of the day, however.... after having assessed the status of the campaign, I very reluctantly enter the lag-fest that is TrueFlame - zergy it might be, but there is action. Night-capping is completely destroying Azura, sadly.

Edit: I don't know where you are finding 20v20 battles, to be honest. My experience is more along the lines of 20 v an endless-stream of AD. In one attempt to defend Glademist I had 26 consecutive Oil pot killing blows over the inner main door. We still lost that keep.

threefarms

wtf, this poll is so bull s h i t . There should be like 6 more options, or at least an "other" option.

My reason is, no one plays it.

Daraugh

Because it's empty and boring now, but I didn't see that option.

Because the mobs in IC hit way too hard without CP's.

This so much! I tried IC sewer grinding in Azura's because I was looking forward to fairer (and fewer) fights with gankers, but the loss of CP made the mobs way too tanky and hard to kill quickly. Don't get me wrong, it was doable, but it was horribly inefficient and slow.

kylewwefan

I don't pvp much, but when I do prefer to be part of the Zerg. Racking up massive amounts of AP, not attainable in low populated server that no one wants to play on. Champion points or not, the 1v1 me bro are losers and cannot associate with them.

Callous2208

The race I picked has terrible sustain and does not really do well with any class and build combination for pvp. For this reason, I stick with my cp campaign in order to make myself a bit less gimped when fighting others.

MarcoPolo

I am in azuras

Im maxed cp and go in Azuras Star often just because the lag and loading screens in the other campaigns are getting ridiculous now but I dont pvp that much either

You left out an option, I don't want to have multiple builds for CP and non-CP campaigns.

This is where I am as well... all my gear is set up with all champion points allocated. Maybe if Azura's gave 25% regen and 16% cost reduction as part of the battle spirit? I don't care as much about the damage and mitigation.

myrrrorb14_ESO

My guild mate goes there. Without the champion points the game is much more difficult so that when he goes to normal campaign it seems a lot easier.

He gets a ton more kills in Azura. Apparently that campaign is filled with nubs that don't know how to play their class very well yet.

timidobserver

MMO 101, the average player will gravitate toward anything that they makes them more powerful. This is why the term Meta even exists. ZOS should not expect people to willing make themselves weaker by playing on a campaign that gimps their potential power. It is like an optional nerf. Either apply no cp to all campaigns or none.

CasNation

I am really enjoying my time in Azura's. I get much more eof the small scale pvp that I really enjoy. PVP isn't so much about the overarching goal of "winning" the alliance war, and it seems that most players, even on appossing factions feel similarly. Sometimes there Will be a fight set up where one side doesn't even flag the keep, because they want the other side to be able to keep spawning and fighting. Pretty good AP all around too. And yes, I know that some will see this as "farming" each other, but honestly, it is a lot more fun than wrecking balling from keep to keep until another zerg manages to take you down.
