Character LOCK per faction - 24 hours to change

I'm pretty sure if zenimax bring this faction locked thing in for 24 hrs , it will affect a lot of those small scalers. For EXAMPLE , if DC faction is zerging and you want to switch to EP to fight the DC zergs , it only last for lik 3-4 hours. So basically after this 4 hours , EP faction become the zerg at that time , and you want to switch back. Here comes the big issue like "24 hrs locked" , would totally *** people who switch to fight zergs. OF COURSE , there's also people switching to join the zerg / winning side for sure. In conclusion , i dont think implementing the 24 hrs locked out will do anything much to help out.

Hi Iskra!

24 hour alliance restrictions would be nice. It is something in my eyes would keep players from swapping for AP purposes and be forced into being more objective focused so they cant just swap to whoever has the better map for AP farming.

if anyone thinks faction switching is why they can't win a camp they should pay more attention to pop locks and less to zone chat

It's a game yes, a game of war. Pick a side for Cyrodiil or BG it up with your pals, we have that now.

Would rather be a mercenary than some rank and file pawn fighting and dying for the agendas of scheming statesmen, any day.

On topic, I don't care for your alliance war. I play different classes on different factions and wish to do so as I please.

tbh i think far more players switch campaigns rather than chars to join an already dominating side.
i'd still rather see keep/scroll buffs changed:

having them means you earn significantly more ap. not having them makes you stronger - a lot stronger. this still gives incentives to take them but at the same time allows losing sides to win fights despite low player counts.

With the current amount of campaigns I don't want to be locked into the winning faction. If my alliance decides to zerg down the enemy home keeps, I want to swap and fight them.

You'd think with all these PvPers switching to "fight for the underdog" and absolutely not just to be an opportunistic AP monger who only wants the easy AP, population balance would be a non-issue. Within an hour, all these saviors would have switched sides because they want the tough fights, right?

I wouldn't mind a per campaign choice of faction, since I prefer to play on one character anymore. Even that doesn't really solve a problem though. It's not really a problem in my opinion. AD needs better coverage to even out, and I fail to see how this would solve that problem.

To get good stuff, or AP, you will need to fight for ONE faction only and not change sides when the other faction is winning. Imagine this in an appraisal of basketball, soccer, volleyball, etc ...

Yeah its funny on ps4 reds and blues are the zergs and only one faction seams to be on at a time and then suddenly flip when the other gets beaten to far back.
I know allot reds and blues and they are playing mostly both faction. Yellow on the other hand almost everyone ik has 6-8 toon but all yellows. I guess they are more loyal on ps4 haha kinda funny observance.

Yes, AD are winning. yes, i see some guys EP/DC come to AD side to win.

SURE, i disagree with this.

ZOS, block character per faction!

LMAO WOT

FACTION LOYALTY IS A SICK JOKE MADE BY CASUALS LOOKING FOR EXCUSES FOR BEING BAD.

seriously though locking people from playing characters they've spent hours, days even, leveling and progressing will never happen. Especially in a game as causal oriented as eso. There is no make the players do this sort of solution to the problem youre trying to address. All you can do it incentivize things that would make people want to play on the campaign/ faction that theyve spent the most time on. Maybe some multiplier towards the end that was relative to your highest ap holding character on each leader-board. So that if you have x amount of ap on a leader-board you'll get certain rewards. OH WAIT. THATS ALREADY A THING. People just literally dont care for the leader-board rewards because they're garbage. OH BOY HERE I GO GETTING SOME MORE WALL REPAIR KITS AND GOLD JEWELRY THAT IS WORTH NOTHING. OH BOY.

Although isn't the main problem in PvP (first it would be cool to rethink about Procs, zerg and some ultimates/skills)

Currently i log into whatever factions scrolls AD is raiding in the morning to kick as many of them in the behind as hard as i can.

I think the game could have worked with faction lock if it had launched that way. You can´t retroactively fix it without very high effort and faction changes etc pp.

Except the game did launch that way........it used to be that what ever toon you made the campaign home with was the only alliance you could home other toons on. So my EP had to be switched out of the campaign to allow me to use another alliance toon.

While i feel it was a better system it wasnt perfect.

The game launched with campaign lock - not faction lock.

There are not enough campaigns left to lock people out of them.

just lock it per campaign if you dont like it for a month then play 7 day
