Xbox Azura's Star is a Failure - We need CP back

Bonzodog01

I think, after nearly 6 months, we can definitively say that removing CP from Azura's Star has killed the campaigns on both EU & NA megaservers. The EU Server is EP dominated, unchallenged, and the NA server is AD Dominated, unchallenged. They are both now used as "buff" campaigns to farm items, and complete the PvE side of Cyrodiil with no disturbances.

So, this is a post to ask ZOS and more specifically, @ZOS_BrianWheeler to reconsider adding CP back to this campaign on the XBox platform, otherwise things will stay as they are. The Xbox PvP community are very different to the PC and PS4, in that they prize making optimal min/max characters very highly, and once at that point, will not adapt to suit another playstyle, unless a new FoTM is introduced by the devs.

No one really play on No CP above black water on any platform expect for PC EU on PC and Xbox and Ps4 not many players play no cp.It I'd a change no one really wants and adding CP back would probably bring life back to it.Azure star on Xbox NA was always a buff server.

Buff campaigns are a great way to make lots of AP! Players questing there, wont be expecting to get ganked. They come back, lol ganked. Bring friends to kill you? Get smashed instead c:( Them, not you)

Haderus is proof that Xbox eu can't have more than one competitive campaign so making it a cp campaign would literally dilute that even more.

You want PvP that is on equal (ish) footing? Go on scourge. Suck it up or FO your choice.

Otherwise play in haderus.

It's amazing that there are still competitive campaigns on Xbox Eu. There is not one competitive campaign on Xbox na

Lol we fliped azura na back to ep and it's completely dominated by ebonheart please please if you on xbox join azura star on the ad and dc sides. I desperately need a challenge it's extremely boring when the whole map is ep and ad, dc are pushed completely to their gates.

Freakquent

i'd rather pvp in a campaign that i can't be one shot in. (azura's)

You're actually wrong. Many people play on PC NA Azura's Star and because you're wrong about that I don't think we should take your word for it and accept the rest of your post as truthful information. Just my opinion though

I do play ebonheart but I'm actually a transfer I started off in AD and i have a DC that I use just for dueling purposes. The only reason i main EP is cause I like the class i have in EP more and i want to get to ar 50. with that being said I'm not going to let a faction bias get in the way of what's going on in PvP in this game. The only 2 "competitive" campaigns are scourge and haderus and I wouldn't even call those campaigns competitive. Yes the campaigns flip all the time and different people will win but most of the time the way a faction wins a campaign is by zerging it down so the other faction will leave or either nightcap a campaign when everyone is asleep. Haderus won't be competitive again until some DC realize that they are being toxic and switch to a new campaign. Lol and didn't EP win back to back in scourge just a couple months ago

Not really but I can show you a screen shot of Xbox NA right now and its no one their but one ba EP.Even PC Na azura star its hardly pop locked for every faction even two I here from a buddy who play PC.It switch as a buff server.Hey I guess your right depending on your opinion of many players.

Lol they won by doing the same thing DC doing in Haderus but its funny they did it for two weeks to get a big enough of a league now even with AD having them at farm at their gates for another 2 weeks they still won its kinda stupid how they won but hey it happens. I hope they add Dynamic population caps.To keep campaign balanced soon.

@Toast_STS I'm AD. And by competitive I mean no one is getting gate camped in prime time and there's enough players on the server to find decent fights away from the main zergs.

Can't say what happens outside prime time as I have a job/kids and can't play 24/7.

Well if at least two factions being pop locked with the third having 2 bars mostly isn't populated then yeah I guess you are right Azura's must be dead. We should just screw over everyone who plays that campaign because its just being used as a buff server. Numbers are facts not opinions, Azura's Star is far from dead. It sounds like your buddy just wakes up to night cappers and then gives up. Do you play on all the other platforms you talked about or do you just have buddies who don't even play on Azura's tell you what its like?

Bonzodog01

Xbox EU is totally dead. EP has every fort, and all the scrolls, and is completely unchallenged. All factions show zero population, no bars, and the most I have ever seen in there is about 5 people playing together. You can wander around freely with almost no risk of being ganked.

There is an unofficial unspoken "no-pvp" arrangement unless someone actually goes for a fort. I can walk around and see players in other alliances, and no-one attacks anyone else, even in delves - although I did once get jumped by a yellow in delve who then messaged me on xbox chat apologising for doing so. I rezzed, went back and worked with him to complete the delve.

Soooo, why bring it back?

a1i3nz

Bring it back because everybody is forced to play the same 30 day and obviously the servers can't handle it.

I think that's pretty much it.

SJD_Phoenix

I'm pretty sure that this has been covered but....

Go into haderus, tell me how popular that is...

You really think making another 30 day CP campaign is a good idea?

Trust me when I say this, but Azura's Star (NA Xbox) is far from being deadlands (Props to anyone who gets that reference... Which I'm guessing a lot of people do, lol). In recent events, the map indeed has changed. Yes, AD still dominates the server, but since then, there have been changes. There have been pushes made by both DC and EP recently, but even though it is still a bit deserted, it still has a pulse.

However, I do have to agree. Making Azura's Star a CP campaign would totally screw things up for people who actually do play in Azura's Star (myself included), and they'd be forced to adapt to CP. Personally, I'm fine where it is right now; in my experience, Azura's Star is the place to be when it comes to close-knit groups. Honestly, having CP would be a crutch for those who rely on it too much, and isn't really fun getting one-shotted all the time.

Compared to AD and EP, DC is actually lacking the numbers, but we've made emperors a couple times recently (They know who they are!). If anyone has any blues and wants a unique experience, I strongly suggest going to Azura's Star, but not as a CP campaign, but as a regular non-CP campaign. Great guilds, close people, it's a nice, pleasant experience.

If anyone wants to know more about Azura's Star in recent events, or if they want to join in the fight, just shoot a PM to me here, or on Xbox Live. With that said, I'll see you all in Tamriel, and maybe Cyrodil!

Turn it into a NO CP Cap Campaign

I want to feel the raw power.

DephlaterMouse

I've been talking to a lot of folks about why they don't leave BWB. The most common thread is good Pvpers who don't want to take time away from the fight to grind champ points.

When you ask why they don't do Azuras (xbox NA) it's usually about the low populations, and longer campaign times. 30 days on Azura vs 7 on BWB.

I'd propose that you could in fact create BWB competitive 3 faction fighting in Azuras by simply keeping it as is, but making it 7 days.

This would allow low champ players a way to grind CP doing what they already do, and leave BWB for the newbs and newb Hunter trolls.

Only two factions really use Hadrus on Eu and the rewards aren't that great so I'll pass and stick to the main campaign which at the minute is a nightmare for other reason than lag
