PS4 NA - AD is lowest population (in PvP) getting wrecked by DC and EP

Adam_Chattaway · June 2015

So on the PC the AD were the strongest and mightiest of them all lol, DC was lowest population and EP were medium, now on consoles the AD is outnumbered and getting wrecked in nearly every PVP campaign...

The age of elves is over

There are many factors to consider, last place of today's campaign can be first place in future campaigns. Too early to tell.

Population imbalance and the backwards buff system have been problems since launch, and have only been exacerbated with time as more and more players leave because of ZOS. The pvp team (can we even call them that? really?) have left the problems of pvp largely untouched so I wouldn't expect any fixes/solutions to come down the pipe any time soon. As a PC DC player, I feel your pain, but on the bright side you play console, and the devs love you more than their first child PC, so you might have better luck. They won't go so far as to say the PC child was a mistake, just that they were young and didn't know what they were doing and it kind of just happened.

lol here come another hey we suck nobody likes us can we get a buff for low pop?

That's because the AD area was more polished on original release, quests were less buggy and closer together. Then there was the Angry Joe propaganda vid about starting AD. Anyone who wanted to be OP out of the gate jumped on the AD bandwagon.

Planchard · June 2015

What campaign are you playing on? My cousins and I are playing on DC on the Juliek campaign and it's been mainly DC and AD pushing EP to Arrius keep. If you're considering rerolling factions, send me a friend request on PS4 and you can join us! UGotPlanchard is my PSN

Don't quit...fighting outnumbered will only make you a better player and give you thicker skin.

Takes-No-Prisoner · June 2015

I have been playing on Chillrend, Hadaerus(sp?) and Azura's Star. AD was doing really well on both of those campaigns. A vet player ran a pug group I was in Saturday night on Chill and we did really well. Defending Chalman Keep solo for over an hour while EP and DC zerg'ed us. Fun stuff!!!!!

It's not because we think we're better than you (...master race...) but simply because these forums are an absolute mess with the same topics being made and commented on over and over again.

@ZOS_ArtG We need to separate EU from NA, and then sub forums for PC/Xbox/ PS4 @ZOS_ArtG

Welcome to the nature of the internet and forums, there may be the same topic form 9 months ago 501 pages back, but people don't see that and make a new one and new people can read it and comment, easier IMO than dragging up an old topic that is dead.

Yesterday I was having a lot of fun in AS with AD guys on BRK... there was that big tank that always dodge my...

... Oh, this is only for PS4 NA?

Maybe the problem is that people from PS4 comes from Skyrim and want to be Nords. And if they don't want to be Nords, they want to be humans at least.

In time, those numbers should change. The thing is that the game shouldn't mess with player's decisions. If 40% of people want to play EP, and other 40% want to play DC is something AD players should accept. At some point the stronger faction members are going to realize how boring is fighting against the same guys everyday and they will leave for PVE. Then AD will rise again, harder and stronger.

Should have spawned more overlords

Well actually it does? the main forum is called General Discussion, which is a general discussion about the game, if a player on xbox, ps4 or PC talks about a boss, a mount, a dungeon etc etc it is relevant to all systems and players and all may want to know that info.

This topic is not under general discussion section.

It was created in general, a mod thoughtfully moved it here.

To me it sounds like a lot of AP to be made. Just think about dem temple d ticks.

You know, when people justify a faction being gate camped by saying that defense ticks are going to be nice at least, it reminds me of when I used to play CoD and some people would just play in Nuketown 24/7 servers all the time.

Personally, I have always been more objective oriented and would rather play domination or plant and destroy mods.

Same goes with TESO, I don't care about temple ticks, and AP. What I like to do is to out maneuver the enemy troups by cutting transits, flagging keeps deep in territory while focusing on another one, crowing emps, dethroning emps and capturing scrolls. Straight killing gets boring reallllllly fast for me and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Don't listen to this guy console ppl. Thats something someone would say to get you out of tick range so they get their ticks when they zerg you down.

Just enjoy your D ticks and "nuketown" battle and hone your skill and create new builds
because the truth is that when you are outnumbered the scoreboard doesn't matter and the best gear you'll get
even in 30-day campaign goes to the top 2% on the leaderboards (which means you need AP). The other rewards
arent that great, its the gear boxes are worth $$$ and AP.

I don't know from where you come from with your assumptions on what I really want. You are free to discuss anything you want and to state the opinion you want regarding the game and the strategies involved but by all mean, don't put words in my mouth when you have totally no idea of the person you are talking of.

Thank you and have a nice day.

Thoths_Servant · June 2015

lol we were dominating on haderus and still have the lead by far, the issue isn't population. the issue is that nobody on ad repairs any keeps. the enemy can just basically walk in and take them

I've seen AD ignore its walls, but DC and EP have the same issue. These new guys should have enough AP, by now, that they should help repair walls. More often then not I am sitting there repairing by myself. That really can't continue.
