Campaign closures for Homestead

hydrocynus

I think they cant afford them i guess.

And last weekend on Ebony was just as full.

rob_ber

Like seriously [snip] Ebony is pretty nice populated on EU PC. @ZOS_BrianWheeler [snip]?! So we all should enjoy lag in Trueflame?

^ I hope when they kill those 2 camp. there will be less lag = more server power. That being said, Ebony was ok as well. It's the spell breaker that needed removing, but we'll see.

Ebony has been awesome this and previous compaign. I dont understand it. Since this campaign started, Ebony has been growing and growing. I think if they give ebony another 30 days they will see, but, i still believe the population is not the reason.

Ooooh yes i did not notice!! Sad the rivalry will be over!

About time these one faction PvE campaigns go away.

Haderus next, aye?

Just close them all and be done with it.

I fear this will drive even more people away from PVP in Cyrodiil EU. Couldn't you at least have a "weekend-campaign" that opens Friday noon and closes Sunday night? Waiting more than an hour in a queue is not what everybody dreams of for his weekend.


PS: Will you at least fix the exploit that allows ppl of poplocked alliances to group with friends of other factions to port into Cyrodiil on a much shorter (if any) queue, thus forcing everybody else in their alliance into a longer wait and clogging up their opponent's queue?

Pretty sure that's what they would like to do!!

What a pity - those empty campaigns were great for getting the Cyrodiil treasure chests - minimal gank chance.

Brian, XB NA Haderus player here. I respect your maneuver to get rid of some buff campaigns. That said, please-please-please work on the two following things if you are going to do this.

- Something truly needs to be done about the lag. I have been in groups where I simply refuse to send my troops into a fight because of the very high likelihood of a disconnect.

- Compounding that issue is the problem of being sent to the back of the queue line. Getting DC'd 6 months ago was annoying, but 5 minutes later you were back at it. Now, if you get DC'd at 9:30 PM eastern you're going to have to wait in a 30 minute queue minimum. I know that for the folks out there with 9 to 5 jobs this is a big turnoff.

I've found myself playing more PVE then ever lately simply due to reason number two. If I'm only going to get 2 hours in a night, I want them to be a productive 2 hours. If I'm sitting in the queue twice during that time, it's almost impossible.

Thanks!

could u not be productive and sit in the que at the same time ... just saying

PC EU – The Campaigns Spellbreaker and Ebony Blade will be closing on the EU PC Realm.

Xbox NA – The Campaigns Chillrend and Skeleton Key will be closing on the Xbox NA Realm.

PS NA –The Campaigns Chillrend and Thornblade will be closing on the PS4 NA Realm.

PS EU – The Scourge Campaign will be closing on the PS4 EU Realm.

A moment of silence for those brave heroes.

Poor decision IMO for PC EU, you're lucky to get on Azura's never mind TF at "prime time" and for weekends... well I don't even want to think about that.

Closing one campaign would of been enough, I mean just look at picture posted on the previous page, 100 man queue into pop-locked TF and now your expecting 4 bars worth of people on each faction to squeeze into an already pop-locked campaign?

Zos can please lay off smoking the quantitative data for once, it's frying your brains.

Oh yes, I bet my friend will be very happy to have even more lag in Cyrodiil and besides waiting after DC for one hour to relog, waiting an hour to also get into Cyrodiil will make him squeal in enjoyment. -.- And he planned to change campaign into Trueflame from Azura with me because its our guilds home campaign... guess we better stay in Azura, huh?

I'm wondering. There is something else. In the book. But behind the cover that's locked tight. There are many good responses here. The campaign's being pop locked even more. To having better servers. To not having a CP 30 day campaign.

In honestly I'm guessing Haderus on PS4 EU would be the next CP 30'day campaign and or Thornblade. However I do believe ZOS is reading all of our responses. But I truly believe. They are kinda forced to not respond. (I also think I should blame myself with my stories about balance on Scourge PS4 EU)

However many here have good responses about this issue. It's sad it may be. But I believe ZOS is actually hiding something. But unable to tell. Until when Update 13 hits. "There are also many more surprises to come" Which closing my favorite campaign. For the second time was a huge surprise. Little hit hard honestly.

But in way might be good. Until Update 13 draws near we shall wait and see. Of what future would hold for us PvPer's who are still left. But sadly dying out. Thus. Besides the new PvP arena. Us PvPer's should've got a dlc for PvPer's. To bring more PvPers in. Besides dueling in towns.

Which I believe ZOS was trying to bring moe into PvP with dueling out of Cyrodiil. But not enough yet. Hopefully The new PvP arena will work. But sadly I truly believe us PvPer's needs more Dlc's to. I truly believe if by getting more DLC's for PvPers.
There is a possibility of saving PvP. Instead of alot of PvE dlc's. However PvP dlc's could be paid also. To help fund ZOS.

Sadly also. There are alot of bugs. Broken sets. That account for other PvPers to leave Cyrodiil. Possibly for good. The Lag and Freezing is the main issue to most. Including myself. However I still believe and still have faith in ZOS. I truly do. But at times ZOS are forced to make sacrifice if need be. Eventhough it may be hard to do in long run.

In which case. The sacrifice that ZOS must make are the campaign's deletion. It's very sad. It truly is. But yes there are also way more PvEr's out there. Somewhere. But I sure miss the gold old times. When Many PvPer's came to be. Long ago. When ZOS first advertised the PvP in trailer.

To Angry Joe, To Deltia, To Sypher, To Fenguresh, To lefy Lucy and many others. For being great spokes person. To teach us the ways of PvP. (Unsure about Angry Joe though...) To not let us PvPers. Not give up. But in a way I believe those who are mentioned and many more. Have brought many PvPers in game. Long ago. But sadly I'm unsure if PvP will last for long time.

I hope this is not the case. I hope PvP will have many more years to go. Even with campaigns being deleted. I truly believe ZOS has a plan for us all. For us PvPer's. Even though some may disagree with the closures of campaigns. Including myself I must admit. But it's alright now.

However to the PvPer's out there don't give up. Don't leave. Especially to the deletion of our favorite campaigns. Yes to those whom are being affected. Including myself. We sure had good time right? So many good stories. So many good memories. It's not the end. It's just only the beginning. It time to move on. Including me.

I also know most of everyone on Scourge PS4 EU. After the deletion in Update 13. Will go to Haderus. So in a way. It will be just like Scourge PS4 EU. But only different after the Update 13. When my current Campaign will be deleted. So I will actually see everyone who once served in Scourge will now see everyone I know from Scourge in Haderus. So it's a win win for all.

I just want to know why they gave such short notice? All of a sudden we are closing a whole bunch of campaigns in 3 days time, where other stuff they put in patch notes ages before.

PC NA

BWB and Azuras (New to PvP and Low CP) should just be merged into one NO-CP campaign. Would make it a more active server for new and low Level CP players. Should be labeled as such.

Small scale PVP will be battle grounds in June.

BWB and Azura's merge? Lol. Just no. Terrible idea. Why would you ruin the average BWBers pvp experience by merging them into a VET campaign? Below level 50s are free AP in AS.

Also, I like Azura's. It's chill. It's not as laggy as TF. It's not aids. You're trying to turn it into TF II, let's.. No. Terrible idea. Also, not everyone who prefers small scale pvp wants to be limited to battle grounds.

Isn't there close to a 100 page thread about population imbalances, night capping, and zerging when population is dead?

If a campaign only locks for a few hours on the weekend and is dead the rest of the time it's better to merge them.

You are reading the AS thread to base your comments on? That's certainly special. Still, I wonder, how did you ever get from "they've got population imbalances" to "so give them the level 10s". That's quite a leap.

Why would the queue for TF increase when they remove 2 empty campaigns? Are you guys ***?

lappas

So now you cant pvp after 8 o clock when trueflame is the only option ? Closing 2 campaings [snip]....

@ZOS_BrianWheeler

PS4 NA will benefit greatly now. Haderus and Skull will be booming, instead of just Scourge.

Now I just hope Haderus and Skull become Standard instead of just Resources for points.

sshhhh rofl... you heard bs so avoid subjects you sure don't know. We do dethrone Hexys in prime time, provided the yellow wood fighters broke the doors and throned him between 6am-12am when other people are at work. We do stay on tf and no one quits but bs mongers once they are properly done

Now haderus is still live, so people who don't want to queue can log there.

Scourge PS4 EU. Has been more fun in last campaign. Where every alliance got emperor. Was very full. Very fun. In the last remaining days. In the last few days of Scourge PS4 EU. Before deletion. The current campaign is awesome and so much fun.

I'll just leave this here. Was taken 2 days ago. (No sound due to privacy)
