    The banners are the same whether you use emblems or spent tickets at the Impresario. There were no true “alliance banners” — they were all Legion Zero/Yokudan.

    You miss my point .. if u already have the "proper" alliance banners, and u obtain one of the event legion zero banners box u will be told "u already have this item"

    Where did you get a proper alliance banner from though?

    So wait... If you have one of these furnishing items, you can't unlock the banner emote because of weird item naming issues? :D That seems like a horrible bug. I'm not quite convinced that's what they meant, honestly, it would be VERY weird.

    @Scottfree2 Do you have more details? Are you actually talking about a bug with the furniture banners? If so, can you stash the furniture item in order to use the banner box? Does it happen when you try to obtain the runebox and you can't get the runebox (which makes more sense) or when you try to use the runebox (which I can't quite comprehend because that doesn't give you an item, just unlock an emote)?
    If not, still curious as to what 'proper alliance banner' refers to.

    __________________________Backstories:_________________________

    Ras Kalik the Vestige, a renown Redguard warrior; He has been blessed to save Tamriel from Molag Bal’s destructive Planemeld while reuniting the Five Companions. His further accomplishments after defeating Molag Bal, has been to stop the destruction of Morrowind, the Clockwork City, return order to the isle of Summerset and create a new king in Wrothgar and a queen in Elsywer. These events have made him a living legend and continue to lead him into new adventures throughout Tamriel, as well as into the hearts of many ladies including the Elf Queen, Aryenn. Over many years of adventurous travels, Ras Kalik had become a loner, until he re-visited his homeland of Alik'r.

    Alik'r and it's cities were overrun by the undead Ra-Netu and therefore he made an allegiance with Alik'r's own Ash'abah tribe. These Ash'abah with his help, cleansed the city of Sentinel in Alik'r desert and it's surrounding areas of the undead brought to life by the Withered Hand. After rescuing Sentinel from the undead zombies, King Fahara’jad’s personal bodyguard the Goliath of Hammerfell, who was given this name by Imperials in the region; was asked to assist the tribe after learning of the defeat of the Withered Hand to the Ash'abah. Kalik promised Goliath he would task him with fighting living enemies on the battlefield if he so desired. Goliath being a Yokudan warrior wields a massive sword in respect to the Ansei, a gift given by the Imperial, Cinan Tharn. Not many soldiers are able to wield double two handed weapons, but Goliath loves to get up and personal in a fight, so he also carries a giant maul, both weapons laced with magical flames.

    Jux Blackheart is a master thief that masquerades as a Bard at the Sisters of the Sands inn, with his younger sidekick Lucky Hunch for pilfering and gambling during this time. Jux was known to infiltrate any towns bank vault he came across and even delved into Ayelid ruins without detection. Kalik can vividly recall the night he met the famed thief. Jux found himself rummaging thru a slightly inebriated Kalik’s pocket for too long, on a full-mooned night and because of his greed and the glimmer of his golden armor in the moonlight. He lost his left pinky fingertip as a lesson! But in return, he gained a new friend, as it was his first time since a child being caught red-handed...

    Upon arrival back in the Alik'r after many moons of adventuring, Ras Kalik ventures to Bergama. Visiting The Winking Jackal, he runs into Jux Blackheart, who introduces him to the coin game Crowns vs Forebearers (Heads vs Tails) and Golden Dwemer (RBG).... Jux constantly takes gold from the unfortunate thru theft or gambling, his biggest gambling victim is actually his partner in crime known as Lucky Hunch the Gambler. Lucky doesn't mind losing any gold coins to Jux... as Jux saved him from Altmer slavers in Summerset, by stealing a key and sending him on a boat to the mainland years prior. Lucky spent years in slavery with Khajiits in Summerset and picked up the art of subterfuge, using illusion magic disguises and stealing there.

    Kaotik Von’Daemon an outcast, and a half-caste between a Breton mother and a Redguard father. Kaotik become a pariah due to his conjuration of Daedra pets. He was taught healing magic during his childhood years by his Breton mother. His father due to Redguard customs exiled him from the desert, sending him by wagon caravan to be a soldier in the war in Cyrodiil. He happened to meet Kalik while traveling from Alik'r, during this long caravan ride the caravan he was in was ambushed in Bangkorai by a group of bandits. Kalik by chance was also traveling thru this area on his Auridon Warhorse (which was bestowed to him by his friend, Darien Gautier). During this ambush, Kalik was able to rescue five hostages from the bandits. Kaotik was the first rescued, and Ras Kalik also recruited him to be in the Ash'abah tribe. These core Ash'abah tribesmen may never be seen together in travel as they partake in their own adventures but they always know what each other is doing; as they frequent a hideout in northern Bankorai. Their hideout an old Orc castle ruin, is kept watch by Nuzhimeh and she passes messages written between them, and frequently they also enjoy her company and her bed.

    The other men rescued were a Dunmer banker, an Imperial mercenary and two other soldiers, an Imperial and a Breton Knight, stating proudly he was an Akavir descendent. One of the Imperials, Cinan, claimed to be related to Abnur Tharn the Battlemage of the Imperial Elder Council (One of Ras Kalik's mentors in the Five Companions). Cinan Tharn was really Abnur's drunkard treasure hunting illegitimate son. He was caught smuggling artifacts out of the Ayleid ruins in Cyrodiil and the elder of the two Imperials was Tyrus Septim a retired Imperial navy battle-mage (now a Lycan mercenary living in the city of Rimmen) and guard to the Tharn family. As much as Abnur Tharn hated his half-sister Euraxia, he dislikes his bas†ard son Cinan more. Tyrus now a ruffian and privateer had been paid by Abnur Tharn to watch over Cinan as much as possible. Cinan Tharn a drunkard, loves to drink at least a quarter barrel of Nord mead before he raids various delves and dungeons for relics to sell on the black market. Cinan also plans to one day, run an illegal gambling ring... which he thinks will net him more gold for his wares.

    The Dunmer captive shackled to the Imperials looked familiar to Kalik from his time in Morrowind.... and he recognized him as Tythis Andromo a House Telvanni slave-owner and banker from Vvardenfell. During a rough interrogation to Tythis, Ras Kalik learnt why the bandits accosted him. The racist Dunmer was providing slaves as soldiers for the Three Banner War. The bandits were trying to negotiate a lucrative ransom for Andromo and the Imperials.... Kalik did not need any of this gold and he could never set Tythis free as he did with the two Imperial soldiers. His past involvement with slavery and war crimes, made Kalik's blood boil. He chose not to execute Tythis, as he figured the worse punishment for this former rich and opulent slave owner, is to now be an imprisoned servant for Ras Kalik and the tribe.

    Herzog Zwei the Genesis a reknown Imperial/Akavirri battle-mage. His roots going back to Akavir through his mother’s bloodline. (His mother is descended from the Akaviri, through Versidue-Shae, and his Imperial father met her in Hakoshae, while traveling) Herzog earned the nickname "the Genesis" from his father as a child, as he was his mother's first born child, and last, as she tragically died in child-birth.

    Herzog was seeking to purchase an artifact from Cinan Tharn, before their capture and was meeting Tyrus while in Rimmen, who introduced him to Cinan. This artifact being the Ayelid artifact; the sword Sinweaver. After their rescue and the exchange of gold to Cinan for the sword he decided to slip away before Ras Kalik could question who he was, and why the Akavir descendant really wanted that sword. Herzog was headed to Nagastani — An Ayleid ruin in eastern Cyrodiil. He had read in scrolls that the Sword would give him magical powers to meet his mothers spirit, if he performed an Ayleid ritual at an old shrine hidden there. Equipped with the artifact sword, he was off to start his own adventure but Ras Kalik, did indeed notice the sword however and instead sent a letter to Jux Blackheart (whom also was interested in Ayleid treasures), to attempt to find Herzog and acquire the sword. (*Azani Blackheart in Elder Scroll's Oblivion is Jux's descendant some 747 years later)

    And so the Redguard, Imperial and Akaviri men parted ways ... While Ras Kalik went off to Elsweyr to encounter the latest threat to Tamriel, with Abnur Tharn and Sai Sahan - - DRAGONS!! Little did Ras Kalik know a few people were awaiting him in Senchal besides Sai. A necromancer survived his attack on the Withered Hand, while in Alik'r. The necromancer known as Auriek Siet'ka is also following him to the land of the Khajiits and Cacique the Sage of Ius a Shaman mystic who has become attuned spiritually with Tu'whacca (a Redguard God) and Ius (the Animal God), after being burned severely by the escaped dragons in Elsywer, is awaiting his arrival also. Aurik is a soldier of the Daggerfall Covenant that was introduced to necromancy while in the military, even though this magicka art is not spoken of openly by most of the Military leaders. He came to Alik'r and worked with the Withered Hand before Ras Kalik intervened on their plans. After the defeat of the Withered Hand, he aligned with the Worm Cult, and is constantly adapting and perfecting his necromantic arts.

    After his journey to Rimmen, Kalik heads south to Senchal, in the southern regions of Elyswer. This new adventure will also put him on a path to meet a strange Redguard man. The stranger which was infected with an untreated Peyrite disease and also was the exiled from the Order of the New Moon cult, due to his sickness. He originally joined the cult to worship Laatvulon, the green dragon, mistakenly thinking it was the Daedric prince Peyrite. This confused and suffering cultist is known as Tsar al-Bomba and he is on a path to spread the disease. He was originally infected in Orccrest while recruiting members there. Can Ras Kalik and the shaman Cacique cure this poor soul, only time will tell. Little does Tsar al-Bomba know, that his infection is tied to Vampirism, and eventually the desire for blood will take over his mind. Senchal also offers Kalik his latest love interest... Aeliah. Whom he fondly led thru battles with the Dragonguard.

    After the trek thru the heat, tropical and desert climate of Northern and Southern Elyswer, Ras Kalik heads north to the cold mountain range of Skyrim. His companion friend Lyris beckons for him with a letter sent by crow...

    Movárth Piquine - a former vampire hunter (now infected), within the Fighter's Guild (and a secretive necromancer) was in Skyrim working with the Morthaal Guard. On a patrol mission he was caught in Frewien's ice curse outside of Morthaal with the frozen undead. Movárth's vampiric infection kept him from becoming an undead minion to the curse. He was able to use necromantic ice-magic to encase himself safely until he was freed with Freiwen, when the Vestige Ras Kalik broke the curse.

    Uri Ice-Heart - brother of Urfon Ice-Heart. The twin sons of Atli and Oljourn Ice-Heart. The Ice-Heart family are originally from Markarth but now reside on the Jerall Mountain range near Cyrodiil, with their younger sister Araki. The twins had joined the Winterborn Reachmen while living in Markarth. Urfon pushed west to Orsinium with the Winterborn Clan, leaving his family behind. Uri stayed behind with his parents and sister to live in the family cabin for safety, avoiding the Vampire plague infiltrating the Reach. After news reaches him and he hears of Urfon's death... Uri leaves and heads home and is seeking vengeance. Meanwhile, his sister has also moved on to Windhelm to join the Fighter's guild. He will visit his sister, once before going to seek vengeance and she will craft him armor mixed with ice, called Stalhrim armor. Uri fearing death, after his brother's passing, falls victim to the convincing talk of Movárth at a Nordic tavern, and will also becomes a vampire.

    The banners are the same whether you use emblems or spent tickets at the Impresario. There were no true “alliance banners” — they were all Legion Zero/Yokudan.

    You miss my point .. if u already have the "proper" alliance banners, and u obtain one of the event legion zero banners box u will be told "u already have this item"

    And I think you missed mine as well. As Raisin said, as far as anyone here has been able to tell, there’s no “proper” alliance banner emote in game to be had at all. Did you happen to get one somehow, or hear of someone who did?

    There was a lot of misinformation going on earlier in these threads about how the runebox might give a different banner than the Impresario, or how you had to combine them somehow. They were both the same, though, just acquired through different means.

    Those are furnishings. I seriously doubt any naming issue can cause conflicts between a furnishing item and an emote, which is what the event banners are.

    failing that change the description to read something like here's a flag from some group of traitorous raiders that don't really matter in the grand scheme of the over arcing story but hey at least its "kind of" the color of your alliance.

    the real problem here is you are forgetting just how serious people take their flags irl they mean something more than a piece of cloth its no wonder they are mad.

    That is the real problem for you? Not the fact that ZOS have been caught taking an existing asset representing a Yokudan motif, allegedly repurposing said asset as a completely unrelated Legion Zero motif, and describing it as an even more unrelated Alliance motif, with utter disregard for lore and for players' ability to catch them at it? ESO development is now repainting old assets. That's what we get with a business model that needs to constantly come up with new fluff to fill a clown store with.

    Ever since the original lore master left, lore is just whatever is dreamed up on the spur of the moment, without any regard for TES tradition or continuity. Dead people are leading chapters like they never left, time lines are rewritten with no explanation or coherence, races are repurposed on a whim. Nothing surprises me at this point.

    yeah the real problem is it isn't our Alliances flag this is absolutely about team spirit

    I mean hey if they took one of those housing banners with the alliance flag on it that you earn the ability to get in game through your cyrodiil rank at the achievement furnishings vendor and pasted it on an emote "re-purposing" the asset people would be over the moon ecstatic compared to this monstrosity I can guarantee you they would not care that the devs didn't use a new model ohhhh. Look at the housing furniture and world dressing I'm sure you'll find a bed that's also a roadside cart or a roadside cart that's made from a door frame etc that's common.

    sorry if now every desk bookcase and doorway within a specific race all look like the same asset to you but that ship has sailed.

    They absolutely won’t change the existing Legion Zero banners. Now they’ve been revealed, there’s no benefit to ZOS to change them.

    It would be more politic and probably a better piece of PR for ZOS to say, “We’ve heard you, and to celebrate the success of this year’s Midyear Mayhem, we’ve created these new Actual Alliance banners so your characters can show their support for their Alliance... here they are, free”

    You end up with 6 separate banner emotes, 3 for dreary Legion Zero and a new 3 with actual ‘proper’ Alliance banners.

    It would be a win for everyone.

    This is the only solution.

    This is causing unneeded confusion.

    You cannot get a silver lion on a blue background (white eagle on yellow background; black dragon on red background) alliance banner emote anywhere in the game for anything.

    — —

    You can get a so-called Alliance Banner emote from 10 emblems and 50k AP in a tradeable Runebox. It is Factually a Hel-Ra/Legion Zero banner with colored tint.

    OR

    You can get a so-called Alliance Banner emote from the Impressario for 5 tickets. It is immediately applied to you account, no runebox. It is Factually a Hel-Ra/Legion Zero banner with colored tint.

    You cannot get both. Once you have applied one to your account you can’t apply the other.

    There isn’t a “proper” alliance banner emote.

    Owning the alliance banner furnishing has no bearing.

    If you personally wanted a legion zero banner emote then just buy the red tinted one.
    If you personally wanted a hel ra banner emote then just buy the blue tinted one.
    If you personally wanted a Factual Alliance Banner you cannot get one.

    As far as having the same name, IF they ever release factually proper Alliance Banners: instead of /Banneralliance they could use /alliancebanner.

    That is hilarious.An ancient Yokiudan banner is now for Zero Legion and somehow also all the 3 Banners war alliances. ZOS really pulled a fast one. This is some lazy, sleazy ***.

    Im not surprised at all that this is also not getting more attention. But its a lore and cosmetic related issue so the majority of forum visiters will ignore it.

    Regardless of anything, it's already funny how 3 different factions, from 3 corners of a continent, come up with the exact same type of banner or even furnishing item. Same shape, same design, same materials, at least each of the factions picked a different colour, but that was never a given. Only thing they have different is the emblem. Same siege weapons... Same... Well, you get the point. These banner emotes are just one more step in to easy copy and pasting of assets and changing it's texture slightly.

    Heh it’s always irritated me that the game doesn’t allow an AD character to use a DC siege item they can carry in their inventory...

    That is quite the coincidence. There’s actually a note in the description of siege achievement furnishings alluding to the alliances having “retrofitted” the siege with their own fittings. That suggests that there was a distribution of the same siege types across Tamriel for the alliances to find. Perhaps it was the same aliens who dropped off Yokudan banners in the Imperial City.

    What you don’t know is that the military industrialist Sir Tawny Stank mass produces these siege engines with proprietary software installed and the alliance generals give your character the company key code to run it after tutorial. It only works if you match the correct key code with the correct alliance. Otherwise you get locked out of putting down the siege. Even if it’s physically the exact same machine, if you don’t have the latest Aldmeri key code, good luck trying to deploy that meatball catapult.

    It’s obvious this out of touch billionaire got the poor snake children of Akavir to mass produce these banners quickly on the cheap. Like knock off jerseys at a tailgate.

    I kind of figured the siege weapons were re-purposed captured imperial ones from caches across tamriel they could just slap their own logo and figurehead on it and blam alliance weapon I do wish they were all radically different in style but oh well
