Please remove PvP buffs in PvE already

Honestly, PvE heroes getting up super early in the morning and PvDooring an entire campaign one colour is getting tiresome. It can destroy an otherwise competitive campaign and pushes people away.

PvPers nightcapping is sad and pathetic and is undoubtedly something that needs looking at, but I do think removing these buffs in PvE would go some way to discouraging this kind of behaviour.

Please don't come on and tell me "soon™". This should be a simple fix and something that should happen ASAP.

    I'm afraid there are more PvPers doing this than actual PvErs who want to get their buffs. And yes it is sad and pathetic

    True enough. I'd go as far to say they need removing altogether to prevent PvPers doing it also, but I am not sure ZOS would go that far which is why I think removing them from PvE would be a good start. When a buff campaign appears, the PvE heroes come in their droves to help defend it which contributes to some of the issues we have in PvP at the moment. In any event, I'm pretty sure it's something @ZOS_BrianWheeler has said they have been looking into but this is exactly the kind of thing I am talking about... it shouldn't take this long to fix this kind of crap.

    @ZOS_BrianWheeler already said in an interview that he'd like the remove them from PvE. There is however an issue with the UI that would display that the buff is active even though it actually isn't.

    This is something that I can get over while they find a fix. We've all endured worse bugs... and also this is exactly the kind of thing I mean in my post above yours. They have devs at ZOS, right? Well get them fixing that crap. It's a campaign killer.

    Unfortunately I think you're right... PvP has always been such low priority, but you'd think something so simple should be pretty easy to fix.

    ZOS conflicts themselves here because champion point allocation doesn't always update the buffs in the character sheet. Aaaand when it does like with saying you've spell shield, it's same as PvP buffs because spell shield is broken. In @ZOS_BrianWheeler s defense, I don't think @ZOS_MariaAliprando told him about either of these because I trust he'd of not said what he said or would have explained his concerns differently. Both of these issues do need attention.

    I'm referring to same. Remember Brian said they could remove them server-side, but the client would still show them. My point is that the client already inaccurately displays buffs and used the example of where spell shield shows but doesn't work.

    Ah right I see, yes. To me that's the kind of bug that should have been fixed an age ago, and in any event not removing the buffs because of a UI bug is stupid. As long as your stats are correct then who cares??

    The only thing that's sad is that there aren't defenders when that happens.


    Also... I like the buffs, and hope they stay, especially now that there are no empty campaigns.

    I don't do trials, so it's not that. Also the reason I posted this thread is about Haderus EU, which was capped by an AD PvE guild (I'm AD). Frankly, I couldn't care less about trial leaderboards, but I do care quite considerably about competitive campaigns being destroyed by this type of play.

    Personally I don't care about the buffs either way. But there are too many servers. I don't even bother logging in during the day, the game is dead here in the states, 4 servers all with 1 bar each and 1 server with 1-3 bars. Buff servers spread out what little population is left to respective faction's campaigns. I think we'd be fine in the US now with just 2 normal servers and 1 sub-vet server.

    I agree with you 100% Garion. The NA haderus server is also destroyed by nightcappers. Same with thornblade. Just last night AD was pop-locked while the other two factions were one bar (haderus). These guilds sure know how to kill a campaign. Also, adding some campigns would be nice. That would space out the giant zerg-guilds.
    I always say that I hate this game, yet for some reason i'm still here.

    To be honest I don't think that's the case in EU. During peak times we can get virtually all campaigns - including non-vet - locked or high. The only one that doesn't seem to be locked nowadays is Thornblade and that's a combination of people being tired of nightcapping reds and the insane lag. When a map gets wiped one colour however people become disillusioned and the less hardcore PvPers just give up and the hardcore PvPers move elsewhere (apart from the AP farmers...) I think removing the buffs would go some way to resolving this issue and then we can make a firm evaluation of the current state of campaigns.

    Agreed 100%, this along with the 5000 other issues PvP suffers from (and ZOS doing *** all about it)... I don't know how many more threads need to be made about this before they realize that it's not right. ZOS will most likely never do anything about this, or the lag, or the imbalance, or the poor performance (rollback 1.2 pls), or..... it's just pointless.

    As for me, I'd rather play other games right now, games that actually work and where they don't treat you as a 3rd grade peasant.

    And to be honest when the Witcher 3 comes out I don't think this game will be installed on my PC anymore. :smile:

    Quoted for truth.

    Also, I can't wait for Witcher 3 either. That's going to keep me away from this game for quite some time, particularly if ZOS continue to give zero attention to PvP.

    behind this 100% PvP buffs need to go from PvE cause it encourages buff servers and is killing pvp. Get rid of it and if players still feel they need to own a server well we know who the pathetic players are.

    Have you any evidence at all that PVE'ers are responsible? Honestly mate, I don't think you'll find many of them doing anything in Cyrodil other than delves and the quests. And how exactly does having competition ruin a competitive campaign? That really doesn't make much sense.

    That said, I wouldn't mind seeing the buffs gone. I am not now, but I had been trapped on a buff server for another faction and that sucks on several levels. If it would balance out buff campaigns I fully support the idea.

    But PvE heroes are not to blame, and you're not going to convince many people that they are... Your argument really falls apart before you even get started, OP.
