EP, DC, or AD

    EP on ps4 have to fight AD and DC because they have to coordinate to stand a chance. They even put people on EP to cheat by grabbing scrolls and running it the wrong way
    so you are saying that you have to fight both factions, oh my....

    Yup. At the same time Blue will take top keeps, yellow bottom and one of them will let the other continue when they meet up

    Lore-wise I went with DC because I believe they stand the best chance of restoring peace to Tamriel. Although my massive Nord kind of towers over everyone, heh.

    As someone with characters in each faction, I'll chime in my 2 cents:

    DC = Social Gamers and Role Players with some elite end gamers running trials and PvP. Guilds focused mainly on entertainment and having a good time. If youre a casual player just looking to hang out and have fun, DC is your faction.

    AD = Social Gamers and Merchants with some end gamers running trials but most in PvP. Guilds focus on progression, getting ahead in the game via gold accumulation, gear farming, and character advancement. If youre an obsessive player who has to collect, horde, unlock, do and have everything, AD is your cup of tea.

    EP = Anti-social Gamers and Hardcore PvPers with end gamers running trials and PvP. Guilds focus on PvP advancement through any means necessary, including cheats and exploits and griefing fellow players daily. If youre a "hardcore" sadist without scruples who delights in spreading hate and misery to others, EP is the home for you.

    lol, more like they will kill each other in lore-wise. Breton and Orc's hate each other and the redguard are a proud race that will not join hands with any race until they proof themselves(by defeating them). Only, Talos succeeded.

    Edit:
    The ESO lore of EP and DC is a joke, they never formed a faction. Except AD.

    That's a straight up lie. Catch it on video and show me because there's a union of guilds on EP that have all been catching yellow and blue on cam. One gentleman has been banned already. Here - DC spy and cheater

    ok so where is your videos then? sorry i dont have a union dedicated to catching stupid people doing stupid things in a video game and wasting my time, I just said I have only ever seen it from EP. If you are talking about people messing with your faction on one of your like 4 buff servers then go cry somewhere else.

    It's one small example of a known DC player playing as EP, running the scroll to a blue keep. Do you really require the videos? You know as well as I do DC and ad are a bunch of cheating scum bags so if you really want we can continue this conversation but it will only end up on you being o humiliated and outed as trying to cover for the idiots who do this on a regular.

    I dont really care as I have never done anything related to cheating on this game, so bring your videos and whatever it just shows how sad and pathetic your life has become to stalk people in a video game when people in all the factions do the same thing. How can you lump every ad and dc player together like that because of 1 picture(so far lol). Can you get anymore butthurt?

    It's against the rules to call out cheaters and exploiters? The logical and sensible thing to do is to make it known that these people are people who will ruin your experience so stay clear. Im not shaming him either he shame himself

    well AD are Anti-semitic, you can read about them and throughout history they follow the N A Z I regime. And AD have 5 area's in a row that are basically identical to each other(hippy tree stuff).

    I Chose DC because i prefer the feudal society(it got us where we are today) and they'r armour(Breton) copy's the old british/french styles. So through out the game you see reliably heavy armoured knights everywhere.

    The guilty party always looks for the first thing to divert the attention away.

    Plus I don't care if it's against the rules. This is one rule I'll break over and over until the two alliances start playing against one another

    ok well enjoy being banned and lumped into the "people who got banned for not following the rules" I think that also makes you a hypocrite.

    Honestly, they're all a mixed bag, just with often different styles. :|

    I get...

    AD= generally sociable, well populated in PvE, pretty good but often low numbered in PvP
    DC= same as the last, but with much higher numbers in PvP, a haven for roleplayers
    EP= a little quieter at times in the chat box but everyones friendly enough, do think it attracts a lot of nightblades and a crowd who may be fond of the skyrim-esque scenery. Good in PvP with well rounded numbers, and from what I see they like to ambush.

    With the current VR leveling system it doesn't really matter in PvE as you'll be doing all 3 faction's quests.

    for me it kinda does, i'm fighting to spread feudal society, AD is fighting to spread the N A Z I regime, i cant quite figure out what EP is fighting for tho, they really don't mention Cyrodiil in they're main questline at all, or they're style of government or beliefs.

  • pcripper39ub17_ESO
    Gamewise I guess it doesn't really matter what faction you choose.

    My first toon was ad, and I leveled him all the way to v12(used to be the cap). Got so sick of the tree hugging canibalistic hippie zones that I switched to EP. Also gotta remember this was when the game first came out so I'm probably unfairly biased against AD, was a lot of spam in the beginning and all the little kids wanted to be Legolas and such, just in ESO.

    Personally found a much more mature and helpful crowd in EP. Still a good crowd, but gotta admit, in pvp sometimes we are our own enemy.

    Have 2 vet level DC toons. Good crowd really, but with most of my friends playing EP I don't do as much on the DC side.

    So, doesn't really matter what side you choose, just play what you want.

    AD - Best Story and nice scenery.
    DC - Second best story, almost as good as AD, really varied scenery. Nostalgic if you played TES 2: Daggerfall
    EP - Worst story, nostalgic if you played Morrowind and/or Skyrim since some of the areas are from those games.
