-everyone- has people that put up troll camps on their side.
Someone from DC was doing it to us in AD, and before that, it was actually a disgruntled AD player.
I'm fairly certain there are AD people that do it to DC and EP and so on and so forth.Dear Sister, I do not spread rumors, I create them.2 -
Moonshadow66✭✭✭✭✭
✭You are mistaken.I have 8 characters, 6 of them are EP. Only the other 2 are DC and AD to see how it is like to start in these areas.
I love the EP, maybe it's because I love Morrowind and Skyrim so much (the games, I mean).
EP is my "home" in the game, and it feels odd to be in the other alliances' regions. Well, with my 2 EP VR's, I had to, but I always love to go back to the good old EP areas

✭✭Skeevers! Skeevers everywhere!I've been playing through all three factions, so I've been playing Ebonheart Pact about a third of the time.
Can't really say which faction is most/least popular.
Which is why I went for Skeevers, it's the only one of the three for people who don't actually know.People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

everyone uses these skills, cause it's zerg fest everyday and you would be stupid not to use them. when you get rolled over by a 30-man-zerg train, you better use some effective aoe spells.
you can watch me if you want and you might see me using some other skills1 -

Hmm I see plenty of different people using different skills in the game. I see three different skills from the people I am talking about.
My death window is usually a mix of stuff from different classes. Suspiciously, when I fight EP, it is usually just the three aforementioned abilities, oh and sometimes oil.Dear Sister, I do not spread rumors, I create them.2 -

Hurbster✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭You are mistaken.Blame the devs for not giving Ebonheart a bank. I wonder why Skywatch does ?
Anyway playing EP teaches you that the other factions are straight up ***.So they raised the floor and lowered the ceiling. Except the ceiling has spikes in it now and the floor is also lava.4 -

I believe what @Pallmor is referring to is that a guild must choose a faction upon creation. The guild members can only benefit from the bonuses collected from pvp (keeps, scrolls, etc.) on the char within that faction. This causes guilds to focus heavily in their chosen faction when playing pvp even though they can have members from every faction.
For example my guild is AD and I have char in each faction. but only my AD char will have bonuses from pvp collected from that guild. my DC and EP char will not. note: I have DC and EP guilds as well to cover those char bonuses.
Edit: I choose AD because of the races I choose. wood elf (archer) and high elf (sorc).Edited by Cuyler on September 24, 2014 6:51PMGuild: STACK n BURN (gm) PC - NA

Well, kinda what I meant at the end there...
But the only kind of guild bonus aside from grouping that I have noticed is the claimed keep store... Maybe I'm missing something.Edited by Shunravi on September 24, 2014 6:58PMThis one has an eloquent and well thought out response to tha... Ooh sweetroll!0 -

PVP based
AD and DC have many cheaters and exploiters (no offense), so everyone who likes an easy game just joins them.
I've done a lot of pvp and one thing i could see from the beginning is that EP seems to have the fairest players. EP tries to play a normal AvA play style focused on getiing keeps and having an emperor.
What i see AD and DC doing is zerging and farming.
We apparently play two different games. I have characters in all 3 alliances and while yes the AD will team up WITH EACH OTHER (guilds with guilds, etc.. like a network), EP and DC will more often than any other combo --- team up together against AD. Yeah fair play, normal AvA LOL

Even Odds✭✭I started off in AD because I wanted to play a stamina, melee based NB and thought that the Khajit was the best race.
I soon realized that my DW, Stamina based NB was complete crap and rerolled in DC to play a Breton Healer.
DC reminds me of Albion in Dark age of Camelot. The scenery reminds me of the Midwest/NE USA. It just feels more realistic and like home to me.
EP reminds me of Midgard in DAOC and is a little bit to bleak for my taste. I hate winter, and don't care much for thick swamp and volcanic landscape.

PlagueMonk✭✭✭✭✭Arsenic_Touch wrote: »Has to do with the desired races. With the preorder pack you can make any race on any faction, however it's clear that the other factions have better racials than EP does. Which was one of the many reasons why factions were a dumb idea in this game.
Some will try to argue that the racials really don't matter but we all know that's not true, it's quite clear that certain races are much better for certain classes and playstyles and the racials make quite a difference.
Then you got the ones that will flock to the dominant pvp side, no matter what.
Even though cyrodiil is a fraction of the population, it does skew the numbers somewhat.
Another thing that drove people away from ebonheart? we had the most bugged quests early on, especially quests to get in to veteran content. So people flocked to other factions because they couldn't keep playing their characters and most never went back because it took them a long time to fix the end game for ebonheart at the time.
THIS is the correct answer.
I have a pre-account so I can create a race on any faction but we are becoming a rare lot considering those who stopped playing vs those who started.
When I hear people talking about play Class X, they choose the race with the best racial for their class and inevitably it means one of the AD races.
IMHO the Argonian's are the coolest race but have the worst racials because NONE of them synergize with a class. They really need to give Argonians passives to sneak/invisibility and all around thievery and you would see EP Arg NB brigades out in PvP.

wolfydog✭✭✭In my experiances AD is the least popular.
I would rank it:
DF
EP
AD
I have played toons on all 3 factions. The only vet level toon I have in EP and there are a lot of players in Veteran zones, but I cannot compare to other side with that.
I even rolled another EP noob in this last week and stonefalls is still jamming with people, feels like launch still. Deshaan is pretty populated as well.
Questing wise I've found EP to be the best. The stuff in stonefalls and Deeshan was just great, but I'm also dark elf biased. I will admit I did lose a bit of intrest in the swamp cause leezards just don't intrest me much. Once I got back to Skyrim it picked up again.
I also enjoyed AD questing up the point I'm at.
In DF, so far, not impressed at all. Its feel the most generic to me and just not that inresting. The fact I have little interest in the factions races prob makes it worse.Edited by wolfydog on September 24, 2014 9:23PM1 -
