Emperor rewards, are they really worth it?

Hey guys,
I was lucky enough to be one of the first people to obtain this title after release.
But when I had tried it out, I was a bit disappointed.

The rewards:
  • The Title:
    While being emperor: "Emperor"
    After loosing emperor: "Former Emperor"

  • The Skill line:
    1. Domination:
      While Emperor: +50% magnitude of heals on player.
      Former Emperor: +1% magnitude of heals on player.
    2. Authority:
      While Emperor: +200% Ultimate gains, -5% Ultimate costs.
      Former Emperor: -5% Ultimate costs.
    3. Monarch:
      While Emperor: +100% health, magicka, and stamina combat regeneration.
      Former Emperor: +2% health, magicka, and stamina combat regeneration.
    4. Tactician:
      While Emperor: +100% siege weapon damage.
      Former Emperor: +2% siege weapon damage.
    5. Emperor:
      While Emperor: +100% health, magicka, and stamina while in campaign.

    *Note: Yes the skill line is Epic while you're emperor, but once you loose the title the skill line only give you a small stat increase, comparable to any other skill line in-game.

  • The Armor:
    *Note: the armor is actually not a suite of armor, it's a costume which overrides how your current armor looks. So you get NO BONUSES from wearing it.

    While Emperor: The costume is visible while being in PvP in Cyrodiil, but
    invisible anywhere else. So you can only wear it in Cyrodiil.

    Former Emperor: The costume is now completely invisible. You can still have it
    in your costume slot, but noone can see it, neither in Cyrodiil nor anywhere
    else. You get nothing else to show that you once were emperor. So the
    only way anyone could tell that you were emperor they would have to
    check which title you have.


So that's the rewards. I personally wouldn't mind seeing some small changes here, for example allowing Emperors to wear their costume outside of Cyrodiil, giving former emperors a way to show that they once managed to obtain the title (for example by letting them keep a piece of the costume, like a helmet or the body piece, or maybe by giving them a lesser version of the costume). And finally maybe slightly increase the bonuses you keep after you loose the emperorship, the 2-5% you keep will almost not make any difference.

I am very curious what everyone else thinks, are the rewards worth the effort to get to the top? Should emperors/former emperors get some way to show their status outside of PvP?

    Since getting emperor is mostly about spending all day every day in cyrodiil and/or having multiple people playing your account instead of skill, i'd say the current rewards are just fine.

    I think everything that is currently in place is fine except the armour(costume) thing. Emperors should be able to have it visible outside of Cyrodiil and the same with former emperors.

    No former Emperors should not be able to have it worn. That would make no sense to have dozens of emps walking around town.

    You have a point haha. Emperor is just a broken mess right now anyways. The idea that ZOS didn't think this through enough gives me a headache. There should have been more factors built into the Emperor leaderboards other than just straight AP. K:D ratio, Keeps captured (Prevents oil camp/farmers and rewards actual gameplay) and of course AP could play a factor as a % of that equation. There are Emperors on NAPC that are just terribad however they receive buffs because they are online 24/7. As a previous member mentioned some are on all day and it wouldn't surprise me if they did in fact share accounts to gain stronger pixels. Ridiculous but probably true.

    Emperors and Former Emperors have basically zero value in Cyrodiil since nearly everybody does *** but farm the titles and buffs. When you run into VR1 Former Emperors that have laughably low PvP ranks, you know something is up :)
