Pvp needs to change

10am ps4 eu and red 2 bar with blue and yellow both 0. What’s the point in this when they just Zerg the map? Day after day it’s the same. You would think some of them would decide to go to a different alliance in a new campaign to make it more even but no. If they won’t do it then zos needs to do something because it is pushing people off the game. Anything planned to sort this zos?

It has been like that for PC/NA for a long time now.

However, this month some decided to change factions to support the population(?) underdog this round. Just doing this has evened out the playing field, and we have a good chance now. You can see from the "SCORE" that it is working.

It has nothing to do with 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place --- it has everything to with a VERY COMPETITIVE score. The score difference between the three factions is close!

It is exciting when each faction is less than 1K to 200 points away from each other. Even at a 1K spread it is very possible to change in a few days -- in a 30 day campaign. Before this change the heavily populated faction would be up to 10K ahead at times! Not only being 10K ahead in score and very aggressive by gating the population underdogs daily (sometimes multiple times a day).

I really appreciate it when the "players" realize the issue and actually do something about. It has made this months campaign competitive and I've enjoyed it!

Zenimax doesent reward PvP (in player Vs player) anymore you get more ap for sieging empty keeps if you aren't that great at PvP. If there were a working counter mechanic that shouldn't be a problem but low Pop bonus doesent seem to work most of the time

It's really kind of an interesting social experiment. They introduced faction change and PCNA seemed to have many PUGs go to EP to be on the winning side. It showed to be the worse in people and the last campaign was way out of hand. But then; many of the best EP guilds went the other way and left EP and it has proven to be the best in people to make for a better game rather than just take the rewards.

When this campaign ends here in a week or so; I would totally get people wanting to get back to their home faction if they were attached to it and appreciate what they have done for at least 1 campaign. Hopefully some on your platform can see how much better the game is like that and maybe follow.
