Choosing your alliance, are you a loyal fighter or faction hopper?

Jade1986

Loyal. I hate faction hoppers. They are cancer , absolute cancer.

14 chars, all 14 EP. Dislike hoppers and would love to see Zos address this issue at some point. There should be one alliance per campaign limit for an account. If you feel like playing with dc, you should not be allowed to jump on your ad char during the duration of that campaign.

One Land, One King. Only High King His Majesty Emeric has any legitimate claim to the Ruby Throne. I proudly raise Daggerfall's banner depicting a noble rampant white lion upon an azura field in the face of her enemies. For king! For country! Daggerfall is Mother to us all, FIGHT FOR HER!!

EP all the way! I have chars on other alliances from back at launch but I don't play them and only keep them because their riding skills are maxed out. I am hoping for an alliance change one day but the characters I enjoy most are all EP anyway.

When I first started playing, my guild was all yellows (pre-one T). Once I left that guild, all my PvP friends were on Blue so I started making PvP only characters on Blue. So I tend to stick to Blue when I PvP but will occasionally go on yellows during an event or if there is some other reason to bring a PvE toon to PvP land.

But I'm on Xbox so until these loading screen issues are resolved, I wouldn't go into PvP on any character.

I have 12 AD toons, but I bear no ill-will to faction hoppers.

12/12 EP. Never have fought for anyone else, never wanted to, never will.

Maybe, maybe If they had multiple campaigns of each ruleset. Until then, it's just forcing those who prefer a certain ruleset/campaign length into ones they can't stand because of people demanding "loyalty" in a game. Too bad people pestered ZOS until they got rid of the extra campaigns from Midyear.

As for it being "cancer," oddly enough, I don't see it multiplying uncontrollably, destroying healthy cells, and killing those you love. Surely, I must be missing something...

Always Play AD in PVP and PVE. I do not have another character in the other factions. I pre-orded the game with "Any race, Any Alliance" so I chose the best alliance at the start.

Definitely loyal but came to PvP rather late in the game and didn't realise that starting a character in a specific alliance locked it there. Annoyed my two non-DC characters can't contribute to Cyrodiil.

I really, really dislike the fact an account can be in all three alliances at the same time as watching a blue grab a scroll and waltz with it over to the yellows to hand it across is just one example of many where alliance hopping gets abused.

For me its not even so much about loyalty but stepping outside the game and abusing the mechanics, meta play. The stuff you cannot touch as a player in game because the game assumes that everyone on your side is well.... on your side.

As for cancer, sure you are missing something. One of the dictionary definitions is "an evil or destructive practice or phenomenon that is hard to contain or eradicate." Meta play abusing in-game mechanics is indeed a cancer.

When I first started the game I joined the Daggerfall Covenant and I’ve grown to like the characters and landscapes of the DC zones. I have tried to make characters on the other factions but I feel like I have betrayed my alliance (DC) in a way. Though I really liked Razum Darr, and the EP zones, I usually delete those characters made in AD or EP and remake them later on DC. Now I’m 2K plus hours into this game and feel strong ties to DC that it is basically no contest when I create new characters.

I know this may not be much of a decision for some without “Any Race, Any Alliance” or now that we can join all zones from Lvl.1 since One Tamriel. I’m just curious to other’s stories. Are you faithful to one alliance or do you play on all three? Is there any reasoning that made you choose that path? Does your decision sway on your alliance when seeing how they are performing in the alliance war (PvP)?

Also DC for PVP, but have toons in all factions. but I fight for the Blues in my main campaign.

I always find it a shame that others feel the need to have characters in two factions, so they can then fight together in campaigns to aid their main faction. We have this issue with EU Vivec where yellow faction have a Red group which helps them take keeps, which is both unfair on Reds and Blues. Honestly think you should only be able to have one faction in one campaign.

All toons DC since Console launch!

Did PvE thru gold b4 One Tmariel. Enjoyed all 3 stories but still fight for King Emeric!

PvP I Bleed Blue for my Alliance! Guilds! Friends! Fun!

I ended up in the pact since all my friends were here (before TO). All my current characters is EP but it's more a coincident than true loyalty.

I would only consider switching factions from AD if it was dominant and one or both other factions were struggling. I think it's very poor sportsmanship to leave a struggling faction for greener pastures.

I enjoy playing among familiar faces, even if I'm not grouped with those players. I also enjoy the rivalries that develop with opponents, especially those who stick primarily with one faction.

Belyar

Loyal to DC. I have toons from other factions too, but solely for the sake of the story.

Elloa

I started the game as a Daggerfall and I feel loyal to the Daggerfall Covenant, even though I orginally wanted to be AD, and I do not do PVP.

Leogon

DC and AD but I'm not a hopper. If I decide to fight for DC, I will fight for DC until the campaign ends and the same goes for AD.

Sorry for the necro. hehe

Dredlord

DC to the bone, death to the faction w h o r e s!!!

geonsocal

sigirri

OutLaw_Nynx

AD Ultranationalist.

My friends and I used to kick DC and EP from dungeon queue groups if we thought their AR was too high.
