EMPERORSHIP

andreasranasen

Emperorship in PvP needs some serious work. It's not a matter of 'Learn to Play' or not getting enough points to get emp. There are just quite a lot of former emperors just never willing to give up their emperorship or simply doing shady things like boosting to get their points up.

Myself, i have the Warlord title (Rank 41) and i have never had emp. Not because i didn't have enough points, but because the current emperor in the same alliance as me just didn't want to give up emperorship even though they've had emp 30-50 times already. Or it's always that one who gets emperorship 3 times in one week. And i refuse to pay a million gold to have that person step down.

I mean i could really care less about emperorship except i'd love to have the costume. But i feel it's also ruining the whole experience by having same people having emperorship all the time. And i also think a change about this has to be done to keep maps flipping and being alive. I would like Emperorship in PvP to be re-worked.

If you lose emperorship during campaign period you cannot get emperorship again during that 7 day / 30 day period. If you lost, you aren't worthy getting it again during campaign period.

After I got emperor, I stopped playing on the campaign for a little while to let the guy below me get it because I knew he wanted it. I even returned to help him take the keeps when he was above me. I too, only wanted the costume AND the colour. I don't understand why some people are so possessive of the position, just let somebody else have a go for heavens sakes

Add so that an emperor can only be chosen 24h after campaign starts to prevent people from getting emperorship right away without actually putting any work in.

derp, double post

i prefer this one, tho having a 25day CD on becoming crowned again would also be nice, allows a rotation of folks to be crowned.

after all this is the age where emperors came and went more often than gold exchanges

Other suggestion.

Emperoship should be reworked. The title as itself should not give one player massive bonuses, so he can kill a hole zerg with one destro ulti.

Emperorship should be only a faction buff and the title / costume for the leading player. Eventually a special color in zone chat or so, but no buffs!

Other suggestion.

Being able to play multiple characters on different alliances really muddied the water as far as boosting, and 1T, though overall a positive update, made this worse due to more cross-alliance co-operation.

I believe that for the duration of a campaign, each person can only have one character active in said campaign, as before. It's not a fix, as there is still going to be boosters, but it is going to be better than before, and it will encourage people to make a commitment, rather than just changing their allegiance willy-nilly on the basis of who happens to be leading a certain faction's leaderboard.

As for boosters, the only thing I can think to do is call them out on zone chat so people report them. I had this problem recently - I've led the AD Blackwater campaign multiple times, and after about the 5th consecutive campaign restart, we actually had a shot at taking the keeps, however a stalwart EP player who had been pushing for emperor for ages as wel recruited his red buddies to stand near sejanus in a group so he could farm AP by killing them, despite being a trash player. That's not me being salty, either, he is actually just a trash unkillable tank (for me at least as a Mag DK) that does no damage. All we could do was report them.

Totally agree with this. I see so many people flip flopping alliances all day. Like you said, if your main AD has his HOME as Haderus, your other opposing alliance characters should not be able to have Haderus as home or guest.

I say when a campaign ends reset the map. So it would encourage more people to play the map and comeback to dead campaigns.

Other suggestion.

I'd rather have them remove the emp system. Empship, especially the night/morning capped ones, means a ton of lag when the dethrone happens during primetime, especially when all three faction with their full population sit at the last emp keep.

Been saying this for a while. It would be nice. I think the campaign should kick you out of Cyrodiil when it resets. And the only keeps you own is your three home keeps. All inner keeps are gray and has to be captured.

Unsent.Soul

I'm all for just getting emp once per campaign cycle. The only fear is, once that emp has done and gone, so has most of the alliance that was fighting.

Salty scrubs. Salty scrubs everywhere. Seriously if a person wants to get emp every campaign let them. Sure the system in place is broken. But you didn't offer a solution. You offered punishments. A K/D ratio and a siege ratio should be added into the mix.

Maybe you should get them eyes checked. But i offered 5 solutions. 7 total if you read the replies on comments.

ScooberSteve

Get rid of emp altogether only people who get it are people who have no life which doesnt take skill just no life.

TX12001rwb17_ESO

All campaigns should be reset when the campaign ends and players should only beable to be emperor once during said campaign.

idk

No. Keep it the lame way it is.

It sounds to me like the OP suggests those that are #2 or even #3 on the leaderboard are entitled to become Emperor.

NewBlacksmurf

Other suggestion.

All campaigns should be a lot smaller and run 1-4 hours max like battle grounds.
Emperor should be unlocked at a certain PvP rank...the boost tho should apply when you won your last BG

Consider only one per faction but overtime at least 3 for each faction per session if earned.

Reset the map when the campaign ends, simple and easy fix.

I totally agree! Would really like to see something like Battlegrounds to happen.

Haha. What a statement. Getting emp takes no skill? Who are you again?

Yes this sounds reasonable for a single campaign if we throw in only playing on one alliance per campaign

Other suggestion.

Reset map at end of campaign.
7 day cooldown on account.
Must be online at time of crown.

JamieAubrey

I've tried so many time only for someone to shoot right up in only a few hours while I have been playing since the reset only to give up after a day and just let myself drop down the board and not care

AzuraKin

No. Keep it the lame way it is.

there is no problem with the current system. you want to be emperor? get the points and convince alliance to take the emp keeps.

Paneross

There is only multi-faction guilds who take turns Boosting members to emp. Rework the ENTIRE system.

Annra

Other suggestion.

Remove emperorship completely. 99 percent of the players have never the chance to become emperor.

I rest my case.

GreenSoup2HoT

You can only hold emperorship for a certain amount of time.

You should be granted 5 hours maximum. Top 10 should all have a chance to get emperor. This also stops the whole playing 24/7 to get emperor thing.

Great idea to make emperor more enjoyable and it gives everyone a turn.

WAIT.WHAT: Lol where do you get those statistics from? Just because You believe almost all of the player base can't get emp it should be pulled? FYI anyone can get emp it just takes time, the right campaign, and dedication...puhlease remove emp because you can't or won't or better yet choose not to for whatever reason. have a seat
