I transferred to PS4, and wanted to give people an update on the current campaign status.
The campaigns are the exact same in name and duration as on PC. Azura's and Blackwater last night were pop-locked for all factions. The other campaigns were at about 1 bar each faction as of 6 PM EST. I chose Azura's, because I rightly guessed that most console people would choose it since it appears first in the list.
If you were worried about character transfers upsetting the PvP balance, I can confirm your fears. I just completely overrun new players, due in part to having a min/maxed character, and my knowledge of skills and rotation. I really only ever worry when I see another character that has been transferred.
Last night I had a blast, and not just because I was running over new players. There is a lot of excitement in the field. It's kind of like the feeling during beta where everything was new. People were just running around exploring Cyrodiil, and they were super stoked to just be there. It was such a breath of fresh air when compared to to the staleness of the established PC metagame of zerg AoE stacking with a few well-known guilds.
People get super excited when they see a V14, and I get random friend requests from people that think it's cool to associate with me lol.
I found another V14, and we quickly formed a party by just inviting random PUGs. We got about twenty, and we quickly whipped them into shape. We had to explain basic mechanics as we were going, and ordered them to take the resources at KingsCrest and then siege the keep.
I stocked up on Ballistas because none of the new players could afford them. And I had to drop like ten siege on the outer and then the inner and let other people use them. I tell ya, these PUGs would have had no freaking clue where to siege on the Inner if I hadn't directed them to hit the Postern wall.
The inner went down, then I tried to herd my PUGs inside, and tried to keep them on crown. We rushed back flag, some stopping to DPS random NPCs that aren't even close to flag. The PUGs were doing horrible DPS, by the way. This group wouldn't have had a snowballs chance if it weren't for me and the other V14.
Then, just as back flag was turning, my game crashed. I'm serious, lol. I got some obscure error code and had to submit a report with video attached.
Other than that, I had a blast, and am definitely going to do it again this weekend.
Help me whip these PUGs into shape. We are considering starting a PvP guild for DC NA on the PS4. We could use as many character transfers as we can get. Please message me if you're interested.
