How to unlock alliance lock

talfx5

So... I'm kind of a vet, recently came back to eso due to the great changes.
I just tested my alt character in cyro on the main campaign, because I remember the fact that I could pay 100k gold or AP to unlock it so I was like.. whatever. but now even after paying 100k, it still says alliance locked, and I cant play cyro with my main... Like... is that foreal? I gotta wait the 20 days?

I don't know how long you've been gone, but the Alliance-locked campaign is indeed now locked accordingly to the Alliance of the first character you bring into it for the duration of the campaign. There was a pop-up message that appeared when you first entered Gray Host informing you that after five minutes, the campaign would be faction locked.

You seem to be thinking of paying AP to swap your home campaign? You can still do that, but I don't believe that impacts the faction lock at all.

There is an faction-unlocked CP campaign under "Standard" and the No CP campaign is also faction-unlocked. Those might not be ideal, but they are options for playing your main character.

Damn that really sucks, honestly that decision to lock it for the ENTIRE time doesn't make any sense to me. It actually made me delete the game just now, I literally cant play the game because of a design choice the developers have made.
Thanks for the info.

It was only done in that campaign for the purposes of popular demand. There was a period of time when cross faction double teaming and zone chat spying was a problem for coordinated groups. (Probably still is but less prevalent than before) You can still PVP on your main in a non-alliance locked campaign until the duration on the Gray Host one ends.

Not really. Even at the main campaign it can take like an hour to find a fight. On any other campaign I would have to play for hours to find a guy. no thanks. PS4 EU.
