Become factionless in pvp

cozmon3c_ESO · May 2015

Wouldnt it be cool to become factionless in cyrodiil and kill everybody?

Xael · May 2015

Yup.
World PvP factionless would be even better...

rendolpheb16_ESO · May 2015

I would like to be a factionless ganker.

There is a lot of random spot on the map they can fit respawn.

Xael · May 2015

I suggested this back in beta. Like everything suggested in beta, it was ignored.

Sypher · May 2015

Yes please

Most of the time I see people ask for something like this, it is because they don't want to do real pvp, they just want to gank people doing pve, basically being a..holes and have fun at other people's expense.

If you want to be able to test your personal skill against other players you should be asking for a duel option in the game.

precisely, pvp should be confined to cyrodiil or a dual option. Pvp'ers are not the only ones who play this game, id in fact wager a guess there are more pve'ers. if you want open world pvp, go play archeage, we do not want that crap in ESO

now about factionless, i wouldnt mind it, but not in the way you describe. You should be able to purchase non-combat factionless papers in cyrodiil, something that cant be revoked until you turn the papers back in, and it un-flags you for pvp in cyrodiil and allows for pve'ing without being ganked.

edit: these papers would of course remove all buffs your faction currently has from your character

I suggested a bandit faction a long time ago. A chance to desert your alliance and become a bandit. Bandits are a staple of TES, why not let players go ronin if they so choose.

IxSTALKERxI · May 2015

Everyone would choose to be factionless because there would be 50% more players to farm... then there would be no alliance war, just all out chaos.

maryriv · May 2015

I want to go Imperial.

Aldarenn · May 2015

Once ZOS comes out with PvP content, FFA would not be a bad idea.

Iyas · May 2015

Besteht idea ever

Lord_Hev · May 2015

I would love this.

Maybe allow you to join the Worm cult, or become a bandit or something.

Yes! Let me spawn at random unprotected pve villages throughout the world. Call me an "anarchist" and allow anyone (including other anarchists) to kill me. I am soloist, and would love having everyone be a viable target and threat.

Umm, wouldn't it be closer to having an extra 33% players to farm?

Even better than my "anarchist" idea. Except, let imperials also fight and kill other imperials.

kevlarto_ESO · May 2015

Never been an ffa fan kind seems pointless and yes I have played it for longer than I want to admit, but I think it is funny in this game you have one group calling for structured pvp and one calling for chaos, guess that's the yin yang of life I suppose. But you all know it is a direction that is very doubtful that ZOS would take this game, they would lose more players than gain them, but you can dream I suppose..:)

1 additional enemy faction is equal to 50% of the current 2 enemy factions you can fight. lol you know what I'm trying to say anyway.

the point is it wouldn't work.

Pixysticks · May 2015

I would streak on top of the rooftops of Rawk' and snipe fools who try to dye their gear, all, day, long.

Good idea maybe this will eliminate the zergs and lag problems.

Junipus · May 2015

You all realise that once they implement stage 2 of the justice system that everyone will be able to PvP in PvE land. The opportunity to agree to find a quiet spot somewhere to duel will likely take the duelers and small scale Please PvPers out of Cyrodiil and leave it to the zergs mainly. Not to mention ambushing and skirmishing around thieves guild entrances and guard towers.

Pretty sure ZOS are going to eliminate the lag by giving the smaller PvP base a lot more places to spread out to and therefore kill it off

Yup. In all other games I have played that have an "open PvP" world, it consists almost entirely of people hiding in stealth, waiting for a completely one--sided engagement where they can insta gib people.

Nearly never do you see people flagged for PvP purposely revealing themselves looking for a challenging fight.

So all this would accomplish is making 5% of the population happy while pissing off 95% of people just trying to get stuff done. And that is the reason you will NEVER see it.

While I agree open world PvP would never happen in this carebear game, it something some of us desire.

What OP is suggesting is an outcast faction for Cyrodiil. This is something that can work and would be welcome by many people. Particularly those of us who solo and dislike the majority of players.

I did not intend on hijacking this thread by suggesting open world, it was a tongue in cheek comment that only a few of us who find joy in villainy would approve of. (brofist pixy)

So please stop whining about open world pvp people, it's not being suggested and not what this threads purpose was.

TheBucket · May 2015

If they added this as a reward to say a level 35 in PvP that would be awesome. Call it Veteran status or something. Just like, you've put in enough time in the war for Cyrodiil and it's time for you to do your own thing.

I wouldn't want this to be available to anyone with a character who didn't earn it.

Ghostbane · May 2015

DEADRA MODE.

You do realize that "stage 2" of the justice system is a pipe dream at this point, right?

Samadhi · May 2015

Would love to play factionless in PvP if it were an option.

Being able to fight everyone rather than just 2/3 of the online population would provide more opportunities for small scale PvP.

So PvP players should be confined to specific isolated instances to keep them from bothering PvErs, but PvE players should get a free pass to the PvP zone without participating in the content as it is intended.

No thanks.
@cozmon3c_ESO has a far better suggestion in terms of enhancing the play experience of PvP players with more mechanics for PvP within Cyrodiil.

Still more likely than any other fix or content for PvP, however far away that dream is

I would love to see a version of Cyrodiil where everyone not in your group is an enemy.
