Alliance Locked No-CP 30 Day Campaign

megasurge93

It would be nice if another campaign can be added after the upcoming patch that is an Alliance Locked No-CP 30 Day Campaign. I think this will be helpful for a lot of players who are quite low on CP still and get very discouraged from going into PvP. The current No-CP 30 Day that is not Alliance Locked also makes for less enjoyment because of all those who quickly switch from one faction to another, hence the specific ask of this campaign being Alliance Locked. Or just make Ravenwatch Alliance Locked since few are in it anyway.

It would seem that if the current no-CP campaign isn’t heavily populated that it wouldn’t make sense to add another — unless players prioritize Alliance-lock over the No-CP option. Either way, I certainly wouldn’t mind Ravenwatch being Alliance-locked.

Yes, Alliance Locked Ravenwatch would be just fine as well.

I beg to differ. Sure people change to characters on other factions but a lot will move to the underdog faction if they have a low pop bonus active or if one faction is dominating the map. It’s really only the bad/mediocre players switching to the dominant faction to get carried.

On the EU blackreach server there's a number of good blue and red players which regularly switch sides and even don't attack one another when they come in to contact. There's even a discord where the coordinate movement. I don't think this is the way the game is intended to be played. If it was locked there would be less incentive for them to do this, at least id hope so...

+1 alliance locked Raven. Desperately needed.

No more campaigns. No need to further split the playerbase....

Some people have unspoken "I won't hit you, you don't hit me" agreements with players on other factions. But frankly, these guys have zero intention on doing anything map related. They're just there fight. Frankly, faction lock wouldn't even change that. Most of the people I have that "unspoken agreement" with, we haven't ever even spoken (or barely spoken).

I also highly doubt these players are "coordinating movements" across factions. Sounds like a wild conspiracy.

But again, these guys don't care about your keep. So who cares? Faction lock isn't changing that.

Yes, alliance-locked no CP campaign would be very well

Alliane lock has pros and cons. For loyalty and dedication to a faction, it would be good if players would not hop over with a "I always look for the simple solution" mentality. We need also players to get the difficult job done. But on the other hand we also need to have some balance, to prevent empty factions exploiting the low pop bonus. Then I would propose a partly alliance lock. Why not have have periodic lock for e.g. 1 or 2 days?

Why does people switching alliances make it not fun?

That is false they STILL would not attack each other. I have said this before Alliance Locked campaigns are bad for pvp, because when greyhost becomes populated and you can't get in due to it being Alliance Locked, you have to struggle to find a fight in the other campaigns which at various times are just plain dead.

Good idea, I would prefer a 7 day Alliance locked - no proc set campaign due to the fact that once the emp is made it is almost impossible for deserving players to pass him AP score wise.
