Xbox NA Alliances?

PieMaster1

Since I am on Xbox NA, servers will be down for a bit so I figured I could go ahead and ask this.

Specifically on the NA server, could someone give me the run down on alliances in PVP and their campaigns? Like which ones usually own what campaign, etc. I came back from PC going to Xbox again, I simply have a lot more friends here and not to mention communication is better (easier?).

I have really always been a DC guy from the start, so I'm not looking to switch or anything. I just wanted to know where everyone stands. On both PC megaservers I always see one wipe the other, on XB1 AD was dominant but now it's a fight between DC&EP while AD gets scraps, see where I'm going? A lot has changed including the newly named campaigns. In generality I take the most populated campaign where everyone goes as my basis. Is it Vivec? Can't remember. The standard 30 days that's always pop locked.

And could someone tell me how things differ between time zones/time of day? Like who gets on PvP nightly the most or daytime, etc.?

These vary from time to time but generally DC owns shor, though AD recently came in hard made a big splash then piddled out. Vivec seems to belong to anybody except DC. I would say EP is the faction to watch there. Sometimes DC shows up strong on Vivec but I suspect this is only when they get too bored from nobody to fight on Shor. I'm only familiar with these CP campaigns since that is what I play.

Shor is easy street for DC, the blue Emp was made at reset with 34k AP, they just roll over everything and there's not much to roll over. Vivec is for masochists on DC (me as well), EP seems to have a constant 2-3 bars and they're all within 20 feet of each other, AD seems to only enjoy other factions home keeps since they rarely have their own. I don't know about the other 2 camps, since the madness of double AP ended I haven't been in there, I assume just Emp swapping BS as usual.

Red: Zerg? Zerg.
Blue: Roebeck is all that matters
Yellow: Allesia bridge is all that matters

Red: Zerg. (there is no question)
Blue: Chalman is all that matters
Yellow: EP has Emp and our home keeps, let's hit Rayles

Slight alteration.

This is a fun lesson in perspective for me, I almost wrote the exact same thing about blue that you wrote about yellow... I took a screenshot yesterday at around 4:30 or 5pm PST of red owning nearly the entire map but there were 9/20 blue siege on Black Boot (and no scroll behind that gate even).

So EP is still the Zerg group as always? Every time I get on, my team has 3/4 of the map in combined keeps..One large D.C. section and about 8 more scattered ones.

Is EP the Zerg because of continuous noobs (newbs) attracted to skyrim aspects or are they just that kind of "steam-rolling" large group faction that organizes them?

I'm guilty of that one myself on DC, usually because we're annoyed that AD is in love with Rayles, so it's a bit of payback.

EP is the zerg in Vivec, DC is the zerg in Shor...honestly I'm not sure where the hell AD is. Probably on the way to Rayles.

I don't have a specific answer. Could be population due to appeal, could be population manipulation (which ZoS has confirmed: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/355255/has-anyone-heard-about-the-queue-exploit). I know a lot of AD left and went to other factions awhile ago. I give EP a lot of credit honestly, they are very well organized and respond really quickly on defense.

Maybe if me and @Sandman929 drop the grudges and get on them reds more we can get the zergs scattered. Red only for me this evening mate, unless blue has emp when I log on!

I'm in. Can't speak for the rest of DC, sometimes they absolutely baffle me, but go-after-the-Emp-faction is my usual philosophy unless the other non-Emp faction does something truly annoying.

AD is starting to steamroll keeps at 6 am when no one is on again with massive zergs in vivec.

All I can say is it wasn't me. From my perspective AD still has a deep and abiding love for Rayles and Glademist. For the most part we spend most evenings retaking home keeps from AD and EP and taking EPs home keeps. I haven't pushed further south than Roebeck in a couple of days.

Although I did crash into an AD group at Kingscrest last night. They had to die, of course, but I appreciated the fact that they were there.
