Change alliances?

It means it's laughable the largest pvp faction would have any concern over balance .

It may be difficult for you to believe but some of us EP players are concerned about game balance and the health of the game. I don't play during the NA daytime hours during the week and I have hated logging in during the evening hours the past couple of days to see the Thornblade map be 60% red. I would much rather log in and see EP only controlling the inner three gate keeps. It would certainly be better for the overall health of the campaign at this point.

I have commented on Thornblade being Team Green against Team Red for the last couple of weeks. I now fully support that as EP could use some beatdowns to help boost morale and participation from AD and DC. It would also breathe some life into the campaign as it limps into the final 9-10 days.

It's just the nature of a 3 sided war . You get enough to join one side and others leave the weakest link . I don't expect anyone thinks there purposely destroying the game . It just works out that way . I said it's laughable because no one ever leaves a winning side , ever . They'll say they don't play as often or I'm only playing when we're outnumbered . If this were blue , I'd already left an joined up with who ever was most out gunned . But that's why I chose DC . I knew it would always be the least picked faction . But whatever . It's different play styles for different people .

Did they ever plan to allow players to switch alliances? I think this is absolutely crucial for players in PvP so they move around and find the group where they fit in. For instance I'd love to switch one of my chars to play with friends on another alliance but cannot without starting a new character.

thankfully when vet is gone, it will be easy to role an alt instead of a never-ending bore.

I joined a guild that is predominantly AD. It would be nice to be able to play with my guild in PVP with my favorite characters instead of having to level a new character all the way up.

Perhaps one method would be to allow a character who has completed Caldwell's silver and gold story lines to pick a new alliance. The whole reasoning behind the silver and gold quest lines (from a lore standpoint, not a time sink standpoint) is to have a chance to view Tamriel from the perspective of each faction. So why not have the ability, after having experienced the viewpoint of each faction, to make a final decision on which faction to support.

This would not be too terribly unbalancing in that it is one time choice and not something that can be done for situational advantage depending on which side is winning at any particular moment.
