DC just not appealing?

So I started another alt and made it to level 8 before deciding to play another faction for once. Started an EP alt and the amount of players in the starting areas was enormous compared to DC. I do not see the PvP numbers getting better anytime soon.

    Breton is the only choice for a DC player especially if going magicka.

    I started to play DC on EU server. There is a lot of people and I got the same feeling of overcrowded dungeons as when the game launched. To those of you who plan of making alts EU is an appealling opportunity.

    Nothing against populating NA servers and especially DC and AD when it comes to pvp.
    A is for Atronach.
    B is for Bungler's Bane.
    C is for Comberry.

    How did you swap to EU server ? I don't see a option to do this .

    I heard when you're n Daggerfall,
    the fairest Breton maids,
    do chase the green-skins too and fro,
    while flashing a glimpse of leg.

    The Breton girls love the Orcs,
    it truly is their fancy,
    not for their burly muscles,
    but what hides beneath their trusses.

    For even when a crippled Orc,
    has lost a single leg,
    he still has something to stand upon,
    and never reason to beg.

    A whale of a tail it may sound to you,
    but anatomically that's not the reason,
    for every Breton maid does know,
    their dorks are good for pleasin.

    That is why you play DC.

    Emeric is a likable king. A bit of a jerk, but at least a self-effacing one. The rest of DC is just morons meddling in the undead.

    When you have the launcher open choose the settings. You can change the server there. I can hop back and forth as much as I like. The negative part (if that really matters) is that you start from scratch.

    When it comes to the least popular races of TES, DC has two of them. Orcs and Redguards. Then you stick the most popular races together in other alliances and you're bound to see less players for DC. That said, on EU, DC starting zones are always packed.

    Many zones maybe, not starting zones. Every time i go back to the bank in Daggerfall city, i see players everywhere. Then again, i play later when most people are home from work/school.

    Idk DC NA starting zones aren't packed like the others. Craglorn is terrible as well and it's a great zone imo.

    It's bad enough I have friends in other factions asking to pst me for sets in looking for. DC doesn't even have the PvE population to get gear as easy.

    I just made a transition from EU DC to EP 2 weeks ago. There are nice ppl on DC. I played almost 10 month there. Ppl knew me, many friends. But still, something was missing.

    Ima PvE End game player right. On DC competitive PvE died off. There are just 2 Guilds that battle it out. My old guild i was leader of and one other international guild.
    It was boring to me. And i felt like, to be really up top i need to change something. Thats when i rushed up a replica of my DC Main Char "Moving Target" on the EP Side.

    Now i am actually happier ingame than in a long time when i played in DC. The friends are still there, and i chat with em still. But gameplaywise it stopped to appeal to me long ago. And i figure awesome ppl on EP too. So it was a win win situation overall.

    Yep . You see this problem every where . Supplies on market vendors are painfully dry . Finding a group to do a dungeon is hour long process just to form a group . Unless your in one of the last existing large guilds , playing and leveling DC side is the hardest I've seen on all 3 factions now .

    Well from what I have seen so far, the DC lands seem to be a bit empty, but on general precedent, the people that I have come across were quite nice and helpful when I talked with them
    Cyrodiil was another story however, and I may or may not have received many hate tells :cold_sweat:

    DC is going to have to not hold faction issues against players who roll DC to help out. I appreciate you rolled DC and enjoy seeing you on my side in the fight. I like the white and black getup too!

    DC needs a faction boost . Like someone posted in General today to make Orc more viable with more story line for the only non human DC race . Give it a Horde appeal like in WOW is what he was saying . I don't play WOW so I'm not sure what that means but there seems to be a lot of Orcs there according to him because it's fun . Maybe add a race to DC . Something cool . I don't know .

    You didn't hear how they are getting people to roll DC? For the low low cost of 1500 crowns you can purchase the unlock any race any faction that was only available through special pre launch purchase.


    I'm being srs too.

    There's a few things they can do to make DC more appealing, starting with changing the racial bonuses especially for redguards. They can also fix the group finder and make it cross-faction (because who cares). We wind up doing the other factions' PvE content anyway.

    There's also a problem with people not knowing anything about Daggerfall but being familiar with Morrowind, Oblivion and especially Skyrim.

    Come March the population imbalance will be worse than ever. EP will get the most new or returning players followed by AD, and DC will lag far behind.

    The race issue can't be dealt with. "Ooh I can be a viking, dunmer or argonian in EP, an altmer, bosmer or khajiit in AD, or a white guy, black guy or orc in DC." That's what a lot of players think and the DC options are simply boring so they pass on it. It would help if those "boring" choices had great racial bonuses though.

    I went DC both because I greatly enjoyed Daggerfall in the 90s and I try to stay away from the zerg teams. I predicted even before beta started that EP would be the zerg faction. For a while I was wrong and AD was zerging and night capping but it didn't last.

    Do I have to repaid for the race unlock, or am I still good to go want to make my joke troll char for ep still trolls-from-shadows it will be a trap cat person or whatever those creatures are....kidding but curious if it has to be rebought or not

    So yeah EP will be worse cause Skyrim is the most liked of the elder scrolls games though its my third favorite A lot more dragon born wanna bes.
