LOL PVP

Kvasir Silverpaw · August 2014

So checking the (website that updates NA campaigns every few minutes) I find something funny at midnight EST on Wednesday .

7 Day: AD has virtually entire map
14 Day: all factions LOCKED
30 Day: all factions LOCKED
Non Vet: AD in top spot, but looks close
Vet: EP has virtually the whole map

so as DC i get to choose 1 server to play on or take it in the ass. ZOS, once again YOU SUCK. You need more servers so AD cant be everywhere at once. The more you have the more you spread out these jokers, the complainers before? AD. because EP and DC were happy to HOME their 1 controlled server and GUEST on any/all the others to give AD a fight. that way EVERYONE could get the damn bonuses (not just the zerg) and still have fun pve/pvp. not sure why you changed the servers, except to pander to the complainers that suggested the game was dead (which they always do).

more servers=more spread out
fight the zerg

yea you're right all those dead servers were great. It was wonderful when people flipped emperor too.

Get some people together and hop on hederus, there's like no one ever there. I keep looking hoping there will be fighting going on but nope.

Maybe ZOS will realize no one wants to play those short matches and either make another 30 Day battle or at least let more people in the current one. Those 7 Day matches are empty for a reason.

kieso · August 2014

they should get rid of the vet and non vet matches and also the 7 day match; try two or three 30 day matches with one or two 14 day matches.

actually if there is no competition on the vet only campaign or the 7 day campaign, they should just remove those 2 and add another 30 day or 14 day. They want to avoid letting alliances completely own an empty campaign to keep people from homing there for the pvp buffs only.

/sigh

1. They're going to add/remove campaigns as they see what people are gravitating towards. There was no way for them to test this in advance, because the PTS isn't a good statistical sample.
2. If a campaign is locked, that doesn't mean you can't set it as your home campaign and join it later when not as many people are in.
3. If you want more DC people in a specific campaign, get them in there yourself. Don't blame ZO for your alliance not representing in one campaign.

starlizard70ub17_ESO · August 2014

The 7 day campaigns are a bit wasteful. Drop those add a few more 30 day campaigns and 1 or 2 more 14 day campaigns. I think that would make more people happy.

So the two 90 day servers that were full every night in the EU didn't give them any indication that one 30 day server would not be enough?

That to me was totally avoidable and numerous people had given feedback on this since it was first announced.

When I log in for a bit of PvP, I don't want to wait over 30+ mins in a queue, even worse is those times we are then thrown out and sometimes have to rejoin the queue to get back in.

I play PvP with my guild mates in a group in the evenings between 8pm and midnight. That's when I want to play, that's when I've always played, telling me I can log in at another time (when I'm not available to play) helps no one.

What will probably happen is nothing for 6 + weeks in which time a fair few players who love PvP will give up and go elsewhere, then they will add a new server then wonder why it's so empty.

Perfect way to get emp.....in a deadzone

Yep +1

Join the 30 day server - DC running rampant there

Tannakaobi · August 2014

I like 7 days myself, but I will go where the people are...

WraithAzraiel · August 2014

Personally I'm not a fan of the new campaigns, it's like all the bads and knuckleheads that wanna go and do their own thing instead of actually playing FOR the Dominion got sucked into the 30 day campaign and refuse to leave.

Give me back my Wabbajack!

There were only 90-day campaigns prior to this patch, so I'm not sure how you wanted them to know that most people would go for 30-day campaigns over 14-day. Telepathy? Divination?

After a first night on the non vet I left with a rather positive impression. Huge difference compared to be playing as a non vet in a vet campaign. So for now, hope they keep it and more people will join.

Cathexis · August 2014

What they need is to ramp up faction only defensive features for the keeps closest to factions outside of the middle six keeps so that when factions are one sided the other two don't get completely steamrolled.

Kypho · August 2014

Thats nice. Ppl ask for shorter campaigns, nonvet and vet ones, now they got it, and they complain that they got it, and want to revert all changes back... LoL

Agree.

ExiledKhallisi · August 2014

PVP in this game will fail until they implement some way of auto balancing numbers for each faction. Majority of teenie boppers want to play elves or dark elves. Its common knowledge among MMO's. The population imbalance is the worst part about this games PVP... the underdog perk doesnt really do anything.

Cody · August 2014

they don't need to remove the 7 day campaigns. just increase their duration.
