Maintenance for the week of April 6:
• ESO Store and Account System for maintenance – April 8, 9:00AM EDT (13:00 UTC) - 6:00PM EDT (22:00 UTC)
We are currently investigating connection issues some players are having on the European megaservers. We will update as new information becomes available.

Why do so many EU players play Xbox NA?

I live on the east coast, and all through normal hours, EP puts up a great fight, and holds the most keeps in Cyrodiil.

I went to bed at 2am. We held the map.

I wake up at 7am, and blue holds the map and every scroll and has capped population.

Seriously, join a *** EU server. It’s not cool. We don’t want you here.

    How do you know they're EU and not just NEETs or people with disability money staying up all night playing?

    There’s too many that are too consistent for that to be a reality.

    I can't say when it comes to ESO, but a lot of people chose to play on NA servers instead of EU when it comes to WoW. From the people I spoke with, most of them said that the community was better over there. My brother is one of these people, and he choses NA by default.

    You don't really need that many people to turn a map during the night. Also, you might be underestimating the amount of NEETs.

    I’m eu based and I play on it for the following reasons
    1) I wanted to experiment new chars and setups without changing my main Eu chars

    2) US servers are generally fuller in pvp then Eu

    3) There are simply more,less good players in US than EU, so it’s like shooting fish in a barrel

    4) Americans get really stroppy when people from the motherland kill them

    You might not want us there, but we are there and we’re growing in numbers

    Have a nice day :-)

    I can tell you’re generally better by the way you dominate empty keeps...

    Xbox EU is really dead as far as PVP is concerned, that's why we see so many EU rerolls on NA.

    Tbh, I don't think its Europeans, I think its West Coast US and then rolls into Aussie prime time a few hours later. EU primetime occurs BEFORE NA primetime so when an emp is crowned a few hours before prime time kicks off that's usually an EU push. Remember that your 2am is only 10pm on the west coast, if those players stay up another 4 hours, until the time you went to bed they'll have plenty of time to flip a map.

    Isn't DC dominating Vivec this campaign with only 4 days left anyway?

    I couldn't agree more! But at least technicaly; I'm learning new language and different cultures on EU. Way more than me spending time on NA, if I did. Also my EP group want more Americans like me. To hold the map against other Americans on other alliances. It's win win situation :smiley:

    I play on pc NA servers eventhough I am from Europe.

    Main reasons are that more people speak English, I visited EU servers and so many French and Russian people speaking their natives so I thought it would be very limiting in terms of communication when it comes to guilds etc.

    And that when I started, people were saying NA has more people overall.

    I suffer from about 100 higher ping, normally were getting 80-140ping in EU and 180-220 in NA which tbh didn't seem that much of a hindrance at first but when server ping goes bad, it hits me harder than people in US

    I play on NA and also have 2 toons on EU, but tbh from what I have seen on EU is there are no good players "since I have killed there top players on a low CP toon" and the big reason is, EU is practically dead pvp all you do is fight the same 10-50 guys/girls and NA has A LOT more to offer. what ZOS should do is open up the server and let EU bring there max lvl toons over to NA.

    Basically what I came here to say. You need to look west, not east - 2am in New York is our 7/8 am, so if it were Europeans flipping the keeps, they'd all have to be unemployed and playing video games in the mornings.

    He didn't say EU pvp are not skilled more it's always the same and less numbers. I'd be open to them merging servers.

    Tell me again how relevant ppl playing while I sleep is.

    But you kinda made my point. Why do they want to fight against two empty factions and call it victory?

    It’d be fine if 1 of 2 things happens: either MORE aussies and EU players join and actually play factions other than blue. Or the ones currently stacking blue while red and yellow sleep, quit highfiving each other for taking empty keeps and leave.

    If it's anything at all like PS4 NA then it's because DC just waits for the EP zerg balls to go to sleep because it's not fun killing the same 200 squishy "reds" that can only accomplish anything with 4 full groups zerging down keeps. Not being rude, just honest.

    In reality though, on PS4 NA there are always small groups of DC running, and capturing keeps; doesn't matter if it is 5pm or 5am. The servers don't go offline when you go to bed.

    I actually run a guild on NA Xbox called eu on tour , the guild has a good mixture of players playing all factions, I’d definitely look to the other factions other than DC tho , AD prefer just to attack dc home keeps and try to farm AP and EP actually have a good amount of people on , think DC just more organised

    Meanwhile, if anyone wants to come and play on Xbox Eu in a relatively peaceful environment, where some zones feel like you are playing solo, then come join us!. Hell, you can even PvE cyrodiil on Shor or Sotha Sil! You can run around some areas of XBox Eu for hours without seeing anyone but the odd low level quester here and there.
