Got a feel IC and next patch in going to cause more imbalance.

leepalmer95 · July 2015

So up to now in the only actual pvp campaign on ps4 eu Ad have the most with constant 3 bars 20+ hours a day, ad with 3 bars for about 18~ hours a day and dc have 3 bars about about 9~.hours a day.

Now in the next patch their changing it so you can only join your home campaign or a guest, so you can't join a friends. Also getting rid of buff server's. This is going to make all the people who currently play with the overpopulated campaigns actually put the main campaign as their home. All this is going to acomplish is making AD and EP 3 bars 24/7.

Can we have some faction balancing before IC?

How would you "faction balance"? Force people to play a faction they don't want to?

Offer 5-10k Crown or free IC for those who transfer to low pop alliance. That was the whole idea with cross faction races, also one reason why Silver and Gold zones were made, so people dont do 3 alts, and choose to play an alt whats winning in Cyrodil. They should have done this already, AD has been punching bag since PC launch.

I think Silver and Gold were an afterthought. About the only way to get some relative balance is for a sliding cap lock based on the lowest population. Other than that I don't see how they could achieve it. Maybe over the long term through a revision of racial passives so that each race actually has a passive you dig. As is the population balances are pretty crappy and not just in PvP. As a DC player I see the difference right away whenever I play the lowbie alts I have in other alliances.

Maybe offer bonuses if playing the lowest population race? , e.g. get a character bound ticket to buy a horse when you start, and 50% exp boost for a day or something.

I think the console campaigns will even out over time. I remember this being a huge issue on PC early on, bud servers being the main culprit.
