PS4/NA What Campaign to Join for Good Times?

Greyhame · August 2015

I am trying to figure out which campaign to get our guild involved in. For the last couple of months we have been playing on Chillrend NA/PS4 and it has sucked away almost all of our original PVP group. Nobody enjoys constant Zerg and Wipe over and over during most of the day. Our PVP numbers have went from nearing 20 in a group of all guild members to only 3-5 people joining in during the days we have PVP scheduled. We have a mixed bag guild that whether it wants to be or not is more of a social casual guild than a PVP guild. So a lot of members are much more interested in PVE. Many only PVP to farm AP to get certain gear they want.

Now I am of the opinion that if you teach someone to PVP decent then they will almost always choose PVP over PVE. It is, simply, just more interesting to have human opponents. However we have currently suspended PVP nights for our guild due to lack of interest. I blame the lack of interest mostly on the current *** show in Chillrend.

So my question is this. What campaign can we move to? Which one is the most fun and competitive? I don’t give two *** about AP or rankings or any of that. I just want to be able to take a group in, have some fun in a balanced and challenging campaign and that be that. I don’t want to be overrun by superior numbers and I don’t want to overrun others with our superior numbers. I want competition and good active players on all sides.

So where is that? Looking through the threads I don’t know. I find myself refusing to level my alts so I can keep playing Blackwater Blade which so far has been the most fun. On my main I am SOL because Chillrend is enough to make me want to move on to a whole other game.

Thoughts? Answers? Threats? Jokes about my parents?

Azure's is going to be most balanced, though your going to get a lot of one sided fights. There isnt a secondary 3 way battle campaign =/

The only balanced server is azuras which is why its mostly pop locked. Expect 10 - 60 minute que times depending on faction

In response to this I recommend going to a campaign that is completely overran by an opposing faction, albeit that it will feel like you are stabbing the ocean and hoping to draw blood, eventually you many progress and flip the campaign towards being more competitive, take for instance the last few weeks leading up to the current, zergy state of Chillrend. Before the mass influx of players, our 10-12 man group ( AT MAX ) was having loads of fun, as well as feeling accomplished that we took a pesky buff server away.

This in short, go to a buff campaign, take the mindset with you that you want to change it to being competitive, and PUSH!

PS4 NA Azura Star agreed is the most balanced.

Some night we zerg and conquer. Some nights, we're pushed back to the corner like last night. After playing in AS the last 2 months, I have only been a part of getting EP emperorship twice - around 3am PT both times.

As of last night, all 3 factions had 2 scrolls. Pretty balanced.

Chillrend is my guest campaign so I understand you're grief.
