So, after all these years, what's the best PvP faction? AD, DC or EP?

Dragonnord

Since the release of TESO back in 2014 to this date, which is the best Alliance War faction?

All votes, opinions and reasons are welcome.

Thank you.

How do you determine who's the best? Either way EP is worst.

We can rally at a moments notice when needed. Could go without some drama and a guild or two but the vast majority of DC players are great people and are fun to fight with and against

Enemy-of-Coldharbour

The one with the highest population.

Well, how did you determine EP is worst?

Many reasons can be used to determine which Alliance performs better.

Well regardless of how we determine who is the best we can still safely say EP is the worst.

Most racist pre-teens in area chat per capita. I started out on red and got to level 30ish and made it to riften, then I reported a dozen or so players for foul language and decided to make a blue and haven't looked back.

For me :

If you want numbers and no brain farming : EP
If you want big battles: AD
If you want small scale PVP : DC

if looking on "main campaign" (Vivec) then I can say

EP - mostly zergs and RP players because of skyrim

AD - alos mostly just big zergs since zerg squad dominated cyrodil map can say long ago and many ppl switched to AD because it was winning alliance so also many casuals are here

DC - hmm, not zerging that much like rest, more faction loyal players as this alliance have nothing or just less reasons why switch to this alliance from another (like I wrote AD is now outpopulated because is winning alliance, EP have skyrim )

Remember guys what goes on in NA stays on NA you'll find that on EU AD are the "no brain farmers" or just really really big zergs and a couple of organised raids.

DC get triggered when we take chal and EP cant be bothered to defend kings anymore, DC go after it too much we're just like "MEH" because someone keeps morning capping our scrolls so we dont care

After all these years now this is my opinion

EP - Annoying teens/crappy zergs/bombers for days/lots of hate mail

AD - More casuals/huge zergs/takes map then loses it within 20 minutes

DC - Loads of try hards/great at ball grouping/more tanks than WW2/overall best pvp faction

They all suck

Lol this game is broken and y'all still thinking one faction is better. This game is the worst. Pvp is so dumb now. If next patch doesn't change things for the better it will just get worse. Good luck being manipulated. Agreed with above statement: we all suck. Egos are out of control for such an unbalanced game.

I can't say who's the best but I can assure you we're all just... the absolute worst.

I honestly can't tell.

Going based on PS4 NA servers:

I'd say in terms of raw Power, it's most likely EP. It takes the combined might of both Blue and Yellow just to keep them at bay. Even after constantly losing Farragut and Kingscrest to Blues and Yellows, Red just comes back, takes it all and keeps going but is usually delayed again on Alessia Bridge and Bleakers, with the cycle repeating itself.

Yellow is literally fodder. They overwhelm you with numbers and if they fail, they just get more numbers and try again. It's honestly very sad to watch a group of 50 yellows being overwhelmed by 10 people. People just call them p*** stains since that's all they ever seem to amount to.

Blue is 1% tank, 9% healers, 90% bombblades. It's literally all I ever see Blues do. Build ulti, Drop Eye of Cheese, run away, rinse and repeat.

PC NA
I'm AD and I voted DC

DC was low pop for so long it had to become really good with its guilds, and it did, when more pop came later it was icing on the cake at that point, though its lesser numbers tend to rely on its guilds a bit to much to get anything done. (DC has best small man and guilds)

AD has always had less of a guild presence then the other factions, but holds its own, though mostly solo players and pugs they have the unique ability to zerg together when required that the other factions lesser numbers lack, however because of this zerg momentum tends to bleed away pretty fast as individuals die and go somewhere else. (though AD does have some of the best solo players in the game)

EP has always been king of the zerg, it has always had the largest pop and the biggest zergs. when they win its no surprise classic red army throw all your boys at em, and when they lose (and they often do) its just a sign of how bad their numbers really are. (EP has the best population)

As loyal as I am to AD, and how loyal I’ve been on the battlefield to the yellow banner... I can’t really answer this question, as in the end...? There is only greed and politics.

I’ve seen everything from people buying and trading emperorship, to entire guilds doing their absolute hardest to sabotage their own alliance. Just to insure that a campaign was lost, due to certain people having paid the gold and or other transactions to make such things possible. I’ve even seen people run Scrolls to the opposite faction... As well as other atrocities such as well-known and popular zerg leaders create giant groups, then lead said people to the opposite faction to get farmed for AP over and over again. . .

So tell me... When you have both experienced and seen such horribly things, can you truly have respect for any alliance? Especially when they are all guilty of 1 unspeakable thing or another?

On PS4 na I say ad they have the nicest people as for the strongest on PS4 na in pvp I would say it's what ever faction ppl feel like playing the most I am loyal to ad and never play on any other faction I n pvp the player balance is so out of control on PS4 na #faction lock

Nightfall12

Is it just me? or does it feel very wrong to see votes for EP that are gold? i'm confused as how that happened! DC is blue an the vote is blue, why not gold option for Ad? and a red option for ep!!!!

on PC NA, EP players are consistently winning the competitions and tournaments and small group pvp.

not sure about zerg v zerg tho.

PvP is like tic-tac-toe. The only winning move is to not play.

We're the only ones who don't resort to espionage, stacking the queue, or cross faction collaborating.

At least on my server.

We certainly play on different server

Best at what? And on what platform? And on which campaign?

On PC NA, each alliance has had their time of dominance. Even then, how do you judge what is "best?" Campaign score? Max AP? Numbers of time emp? Able to defeat 2x or 3x of your numbers? We've seen so many campaigns come and go since Beta. And we've seen so many groups and individual players come and go since Beta.

Your question is way to broad to be answered with any worthwhile answer. Frame it more specifically.

It doesn't matter unless you do pvp or highly care for your immersion. EP still best tho
