Would be nice to see a few guilds move to DC or AD in the next campaign (only a few days away) to balance out the scores and make the competition more interesting.

People's noble causes are noble bullsh1+
The only thing people care about is easy AP or kills. That's why most ball groups and zerglings have gone EP and why what's left of DC and AD attack each other rather than 2 or 3 ball groups plus a faction stack in EP.
AD and DC numbers are even up because EP has run roughshod over most other campaigns as well

this reminds me of a classic wow server where horde won the war, so many were farming pvp that alliance started moving off the server to the point that its literally a horde only server, they won the war.
EP and its players don't care about healthy pvp or balance, they just want to zerg and win. I watched a 1 bar DC get one of their gate keeps back (it was at that point their only keep) they had no scrolls, nothing, but got a keep back. . .EP zerg'd it down, for no other reason then to do so.
this is something that realistically ZOS needs to fix at a core "how pvp works" level.

With or without faction lock the score has no meaning. It is merely symbolic since the design of Cyrodiill is not intended to create a truly competitive.
Heck, being on top of the leaderboard merely demonstrating the person was the most active, not the best skilled, says it all. The alliance that wins a campaign was just the one who was most active when it mattered most.
It does not mean they played better when the numbers were more balanced or were more skilled. Just symbolic as the goal of Cyrodiil is to offer an open world PvP feel.
It was designed to be competitive, but not in the way you are thinking. The competition isn't about who is the most skilled, nor individual battle results. Dueling and BG's are geared toward individual and small man competition. In Cyrodiil the competition is between the alliances and was designed and intended to be so. AvAvA is a different kind of competition than just straight up PvP. It's about map control over long periods of time. It is currently very flawed, and needs addressing, but the first step in addressing it was reinstituting faction locks to some degree. On an unlocked server you are right this type of competition cannot exist. AvAvA is meaningless when you can switch alliances. That type of competition goes out the door at that point.

Well its their sin that cause this problem. Its started when some of AD guilds have feud with casuals and some other guild and they moved to DC. When they move they only attacked AD and threatening to attack them until they quit, some DC not happy with this either because there is no opposition for EP. This went on for I think 2 months and some DC and AD casuals went to EP because they are sick of it. Some casual only want AP or tier 1 reward. Now I think those guild already cease hostility toward DC but the damage has already been done. This will probably going to be like this in the next few months.
As for night caping I dont think they do it purposely well maybe some group but not all. EP has more japanese and aussie player followed by AD while DC has less. They do have different timezone so its inevitable that they will play outside NA primetime. I think yjr most effective solution would probably if they have asian server probably in singapore or taiwan. This will help ping and night caping problem.

So, ep being poplocked most of the time vs 1 bar ad/dc is the fault of ad and dc? I see....I was going to reply something with head, butt and dark, but I will leave it. Lets just say I disagree with that logic.

Read first paraghraph on how this thing started.
Second paragraph for my personal opinion on possible stopping night capping.
This my personal opinion and observasion as PVP’er. I am not responsible for your reading comprehension.
I have a potential idea on how to fix population imbalances -> lop-sided victories. (And I apologize if this has been mentioned before in earlier posts - I haven't had time to read every post). If for example - a faction is at 3 bars and another is at 1 bar, then the 1 bar faction automatically gets all their offensive and defensive stats increased by a large percentage. What that percentage should be would need to be tested in PTS but my initial thoughts are 20% increase per bar that the faction is at a disadvantage in population compared to another faction. Also make the keep walls and the NPCs guarding them stronger. If an EP 25 player group tries to take Ales, then the faction defending Ales could be successful with only half the players. If there is a small ball group of players on a low bar faction marauding around taking keeps and RSS, then it would take a very large group to eliminate them.
I would prefer that performance and desync issues are fixed first, but this is "food for thought" as their second priority.

Most of the people crying now wanted lock, now they got it. This is always the result of locked factions, but don't worry it used to be far worse. Just ask anyone how great locked factions were before lock was removed. 100+ v 4 to 8 players every day... At least proc sets aren't as bad as they used to be... Oh wait...midgetfromtheshire wrote: »Is it the norm for emps these days to run from a 1v1 back into the safety of a zerg with all the scroll buffs.

Yes. Every emperor for the past 2 years has been toilet paper quality on PC NA. And not the good toilet paper people are looking for.
Am I missing something? Why should Fengrush and Homicide move to AD? Why don't you just move your 1/2 of EP group to AD? Wouldn't that be easiest and most logical answer?

Then ye, there are some, like yourself, who cant win fights on even terms, so they triple the numbers.

Ya wanna come in the AD discord and ask how they feel about that? lol. Its not something I fabricated, they hate DC because you know who went there, paired up with the #1 pvp streamer in eso, to gate his own faction till they quit. All I did was capitalize on their unified hate and used it to bring the faction together... which is poetic justice that the person who left because the faction wasn't unified ended up being the reason why they joined together.
Also Im a solo player fyi, always have been. Don't call me for zerging when I never group lol.

I think youre delusional. You probably got some friends over to your discord from ayreens army or whatever its called, who broke free from Homicide. rest of ad seems pretty cool to me. I never get Tbags or hatetells from them. Same as when you call dc sheep. That tells me a lot about your bias. I dont think DC want you. Go AD with your elite guild if its so monstrously good it would solve a lot. the problem righjt now is not your weird world view, its the poplocked ep vs the very few ad and dc remaining. I doubt very much most of the players on ad and ep care about your dc vendetta. And that little story about dc going ad only is just sad.
Can I ask you which amazing pvp guild you represent and who you are?
Coming from EU, and having odd playtimes, what I see on ep, are a lot of asian players. Really a lot. If you funnel some ep players to ad or dc during prime time that wont mean anything. Because when prime time hits, ep has already been poplocked and closing the map for many hours. The huge problem is the poplock when ad and dc are at one bar, in odd hours. Those players will never leave ep. And those are the ones driving casuals away from dc or ad. When its primetime lag makes the game *** anyways, and the population is more close numberwise.
