Why not offer faction change on crown store?

Pdl123

I think tou guys should offer alliance change on thw crown store since the one tamriel update since it really doesnt matter where you quest anymore it is something myself and wife would pay for

Dojohoda

LOL
Faction Change ... make it happen. Do it

I think it should be allowed.

Or better yet, make alliance changes only obtainable through some sort of in game quest or a system similar to re allocating skill points.

Instead of merely another cash grab. You're doing fine in that department.

I am strongly against this.

Glory hunters switching to wining side , if you want to switch just level up a new toon

Is there a reason that you've made two of these threads?

The swapping in pvp will be real.

Would like to see sever change before faction change

I would like to see either a one time change per character, or the ability to choose which side your character is fighting for any time you change campaigns.

Make it expensive, not like these cheap motifs lately, and make the faction account wide.

I love when people post things like this. ZOS can't even program text to be capitalized and you expect them to to be able to program your character to change its entire life? Yeah, that'll work well.

I don't see why it shouldn't happen, every other mmo does it, why not ESO. Just make it expensive so they dont swap every other campaign in cyro.

DisgracefulMind

plz no

30k Crowns per character sounds reasonable, don't you think? And a 12-month cooldown once you switch so you are stuck with your decision.

Also, customization options sold separately.

Wanna defect? Gotta cash out for it.

Artemiisia

well in another mmo you could go to a faction npc to switch to another faction, after one year pvp openworld is nearly gone from the game, everyone had switched to the wining faction

and only 1vs1, 3vs3 and battlegrounds is left to do pvp in.



With that in mind, im totally against faction change, if you want to be in another faction level up a new char

I find the arguments against amusing.

Most didn't make their first character with die-hard allegiance in mind for a particular faction. It wasn't even particularly obvious when making the first character, and by the time you set foot out of waling prison, it was too late.

In fact, now there is no purpose in choosing a faction at startup except to determine where your storyline starts.

Why not let characters choose faction loyalty by their actions, not some arbitrary icon on the character select screen.

Obligated allegiance based on place of birth is absurd. Locking a character out of part of the game or expecting them to get deleted is equally absurd. For those that do PVE, do you refuse to PVE with anyone outside or your faction?

You can change campaigns, this is hardly much different.

12 month cooldown is fine and you should be locked out of any current campaign (for the "constant swappers" argument).

Price should be less than a race or appearance change.

EDIT: For those arguing loyalty: Consider that the character is not choosing to be disloyal to their current alliance, but rather wanting to be loyal to the alliance they are changing to... By denying this, you're shooting yourself in the foot.

Some of this, I agree with. A character's loyalty should be dependent on their actions, not an arbitrary flag set at character creation. A character should cultivate reputation within a particular land-mass by undertaking questions that work towards the good of that alliance...

...however, the flip-side of that is that any action that character takes against another alliance is remembered too. You want to shut down the Covenant at the docks in Bal Foyen? Well done, the Pact loves you... but the Covenant is going to be more likely to be gunning for you in future... and vice versa.

You want to ingratiate yourself to a new faction? Undertake quests there while under scrutiny (at the very least) or open attack (more probably) from elements within that faction. Trust will take time to cultivate, and since most quest are non-repeatable it will be hard to return to an old faction once the character has betrayed their old one.

A character wanting to change faction is being disloyal to their old faction, even if they are choosing to be loyal to a new one. I would be more than happy to see a more nuanced system here... if it had consequences as well as advantages.

It is about PvP, not PvE. Alliance change move the balance further askew. Have seen that in another game.

TequilaFire

Why? everybody on PS4 already jumped to AD or DC alts.
Unless you are the few remaining EP. lol

Rickter

faction change probably wont happen because their answer to that was One Tamriel.

They might offer in the future as a pure crown store cash grab but thats going to take time away from development.

BigBragg

Only if the come up with a fourth factionless group of marauders just out for chaos and mayhem.

Allow a 1 time change per character. A costly change too. Like the race change tokens.
