Inter-Alliance Co-Op?
Flexar
✭✭✭
Has anyone (ZOS or fans) brought up the idea of being able to play PvE alongside members of other alliances? I was rather disappointed to find that there were three separate Coldharbours, one for each alliance, when it would have made perfect sense for players from different alliances to fight alongside one another in one Coldharbour. It also seems that there are three separate Craglorns (if the trials leaderboards are anything to judge by), despite the fact that Craglorn is neutral and the same level for all players (like Coldharbour). I for one would like the opportunity to play alongside members of other alliances without having to make new characters and grind them for ages.

Some would debate why there is alliances anyway, its not like it has any other impact then being "different servers" keeping people apart. You can never ever see people from the other alliances in the game world unless you do the minigame pvp in cyrodil.
And with the explorer pack having people create all kinds of races into whatever alliance didnt really improve on the alliance vs alliance vs alliance theme... So why not open it all up and just skip the alliance jazz?0 -

PVE is a different story, being able to meet up with friends would be a good idea. Sorry I can't take back the vote, this is one of the reasons I hate polls, you can't edit it and remove the silly vote.People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

Auralia✭✭✭YayI think for pve areas you should be able to play with other factions and just have factions to fight against in pvp Cyrodil.0

Funny you should misread it like that; I initially mistyped it as PvP instead of PvE and almost submitted it like that.1 -
Goibot✭✭✭NayIf it would work it would be great, however with their whacky vet system it wouldn't work. For example if I grouped with another person in another alliance, say to do Banished cells. I'm AD and the mobs in Auderion (sp?) are lvl 1- 12 or so but to them they are V1 or V6. Do you see what I mean? How could this work with the restraint of the Vet system? The only place I could see it working is cold harbor and CraglornEdited by Goibot on July 14, 2014 12:00AM0

YayDAoC did this and it was a mixed bag. For example, you could travel to any realm at any time, the pvp areas had npcs owning the keeps and they were viciously difficult. It did give players a way to explore different factions, but it wouldn't work in ESO.
The veteran system already gives access to the other areas and quests, the whole point of cyrodil would be wasted and decidedly unfun. While there may be more players, it just would not work in this setting. It would be nice to have more people, but I feel the game needs to be fleshed out a bit more first (ie a justice system, actual trade channels, AH, and possibly region specific crafting ingredients).0
