Would you like to be able to change Factions?

Leeric · December 2014

Not only No, but hell no. What would then be the point of the explorers pack? And most certainly the PVP crowd who exploited... (AD) would try to use it to their advantage. You want a new faction character, start a new one and level.

BUT...you can only use one faction from you characters.
If you select EP...all your DC and AD characters are disabled for PVP.

This way trolling and treason is blocked.

I play characters from all three factions, so I don't like the sound of that.

I don't PVP, and I don't want to change factions, but I also don't like the sound of being barred from two of the factions. Even if you just mean for people who change factions (because someone will whine, and I'll lose at least three characters (I have five, with two in AD and EP))

I meant you can have any characters in any faction for PVE.
But PVP in Cyrodiil.....You can play only one faction at a time.....30 days worth of time.
When the campaign ends I see no reason you couldnt switch to another toon in a different faction for the restarted campaign.

If the OP is actually asking if every toon can change faction they were created with ...then a point blank no from me. Delete the toon if you arent happy with the faction.

It's already set so that your characters in different factions can't play the same PvP servers I believe, unless this was changed. I haven't PvP'd in a while but I recall being forbidden from joining the same campaign with an EP alt that my AD Main was in.

There should be a different choice in this game. To be honest i dont care what faction im in. I enjoy the storyline and its the same no matter what faction im in. However there are friends who wanted to play a different alliance which is good for them, i really just want to group with them

But only allowed once. Once you complete a betrayal quest you can't do it again.

I like that idea. The one reason I want to see faction change is to make sure players can play with friends and guildies. It's not uncommon to see people stumble into the game only to find themselves in the wrong faction.

And when those friends leave.....and your new friends are also in a different faction ?
Slippery slope. Pandoras box. Some doors are best left locked or at the very least brutally guarded.
I have no faith in ZOS to brutally guard anything or people would have been banned left right and center by now.

I don't care. I do not want to switch because i played all three on my main and i liked DC te best, story and lore wise. I wish veteran content did not exist and we could travel to the other area's seamless and are KOS by strong guards in enemy territory. Maybe some quests here and there (spy, kill quests), but no story lines for enemy faction grounds.

Some people have 3 different accounts to let them play where they want when they want. Spy, troll, and all. Normally qualified with....my guild is multifaction or similar.
Some people simply... 'jump to friend'...from what I read on that thread because cyrodiil is PVE too.

From the playing-together perspective, cross-faction PvE would fix this issue. Although for lore reasons I would only support cross-faction PvE in the Veteran zones, Cadwell zones, and Coldharbour.

DisgracefulMind · December 2014

I would LOVE one faction change, even if it meant I had to pay like ten bucks for it. I have my DK in one alliance, and recently got called back to EP (which I have another max level DK in, but I MISS my DC DK ]: )

But I feel it needs to be completely limited as to how many times you can change factions, etc etc. Would be a nice feature though.

Dekkameron · December 2014

Hmm.. Nope!

I remember in WoW they allowed this and our server suddenly became a pvp wasteland with everyone turning horde.

No - End of:)

Yes, the any race in any faction has not generated any issues, members of races out of factions is pretty much as its for npc, in pvp you only notice the Khajiit and Argonians anyway because of the tail, yes you see other but that is during the fight

This would be an AvA disaster.

WOW has issues not in ESO, then I played wow during cataclysm PvE solo play was grinding reputation is a few small areas. With world PvP an faction with more players would kill the players in the less one if they tried to do the quests.
This caused migration to servers where your faction was in majority or simply switch faction.
In ESO PvP its better to be a bit weaker so you mostly defend.

If the DKs are different you can always respec. This is not a reason. You can setup 2 DK identical.

This I know, however, I'm attached to one DK more than the other. Which is why I'm back to my favorite toon again

haha.

I have no desire to change my faction, however I would like the ability to do cross-faction grouping at 50+. I find it very annoying that my brother and many of my friends/guild members all chose different factions and we're unable to team up for dungeons.
