On PS4, they literally control THREE campaigns, and sometimes four whenever they try to take Skull of Corruption.

The problem with this is I can't even grind in CWC half of the time, and IC Sewers is trash for grinding. There's literally no good grinding spot in this game besides CWC.

DC:
- Skull of Corruption
- Skeleton Key (rip)
AD:
- Haderus
- Moon-cursed Blade
EP:
- Chillrend

✭Dunmer, Dark Elf is forgotten race what all Fantasy fans loves. I dont think you can even find Dark Elf anywhere nowadays than in ES.Edited by Sausage on December 18, 2015 8:21AM1 -

✭I'd chosen EP because of Nords.
I got sympathy to nords in the Skyrim.
I also liked the Windhelm area in skyrim very much and wanted to experience it in ESO.1 -
Flameheart✭✭✭✭✭Just bad luck ?
It's a matter of coincidence where people choose their home and guest campaigns and where their superior AvA raid constellation decides to play.
Some AvA raids are really really big and even TS organized. I am a member in some 500-member trading guilds, dominated by one alliance (in my case it's AD). They used to write a keyword into the Cyrodiil zone chat for an invite.
Such large groups are still at least partially TS organized, work in several groups on different targets (offence, defence, zerg) and therefore are capable to dominate a whole campaign alone by numbers and in addition by tactics.
In addition population bar charts, do not always show the reality of Cyrodiil PvP/AvA. Some campaigns are just used for farming IC, while Cyrodiil is pretty empty.
I am not sure if races have something to do concerning population bar charts. The only good race bonuses for EP deliver Dunmer.
I am an Imperial Edition prerelease buyer (actually the best thing I ever did for free race choice). My chars are all EP, but see my signature for races.Edited by Flameheart on December 21, 2015 7:46AMSometimes the prey turns and nips us... it's a small thing.
So let the snow flakes and unicorns dance alone until they melt or vanish from existence, we will finish up with those smart enough to stay in the glowing circle of love.

+1"I still do not understand why I followed the advice of Captain Rana to bring the villagers of Bleakrock into safety. We should have fought for our village and not have backed down, with our tail between our legs. Now my home village is in shambles, the houses burning, the invaders feasting.I swear every day to Shor that after Molag Bal has been defeated, I will hunt down the invaders and restore peace in Bleakrock and drink my mead with my friends at the market place".PC-EU0 -

✭✭Nord because of Skyrim, Dunmer because of Morrowind. Argonians because they are lusty...
Also I remember the instruction book for Morrowind showing a Dunmer Battlemage - which fits in with the ESO Dunmer fire capabilities and the Dragon Knight class.
It's unfortunate that you don't get the option to object to Almalexia's presence, but there is a book on the Dunmer houses in the temple in Mournhold that advises not to mention Nerevar in the presence of the false gods

✭✭✭Wrong console, buddy! XB1 EU always sees overwhelming numbers of blues or yellows... that also LOVE to form the green alliance.
I hear it was a rather popular alliance on PC, though. Skyrim might have to do with it.

✭EP can muster huge populations on NA/PC as well they have been able to do so for a very long time I think these days the gap between AD & DC have narrowed as I see some good sized DC groups running around, we finally have some three faction warfare

CWC is life, period.
There are quite a few good grinding spots, that aren't cracked wood cave. Cracked wood cave is just the best known. A couple of the delves in cyro are just as good with nobody there because they haven't been exposed on the forums to death. There are certain spots in the sewers that are pretty good too if you can get them to yourself. I grinded about 5 vet levels in a little over an hour in the sewers.
I am not going to say what they are here, but if you want to send me a pm, I'll let you know.
CWC is the best cyro delve exp/hr by a little bit if you get it uninterrupted. You never get it uninterrupted for long. With all the interruptions that occur from cracked wood cave being the most Coveted grind spot, it definitely averages out to way less exp/hr than some of the other delves in cyro where you'll literally get interrupted like once in 10 hrs of play. CWC is not life, Period.
On a side note... complaining that you cannot grind pve mobs in a pvp zone without getting interrupted will gain you absolutely zero sympathy from people.He's the healer Tamriel deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hurt his tank. Because he can heal them to full. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful rejuvinator. A Cloaked Healer.

On EU PS4, The Dominion dominate, then I think it's slightly even between red & blue.

Because... too many Argonians around these days...

Helgi_Skotina✭✭✭Population is high because most of the players have played skyrim and morrowind,but not all daggerfall (1996). But even having numbers EP is the weakest alliance on EU - most of the players are PvE oriented.0 -

rez0055✭✭✭In Azura's Star (PC-EU) I can tell ya that EP is not the leading faction, atm it's DC. We have a better scoring for now. And we won previous campaign. But most of the time the campaign is balanced (thank god). Also we have some verrrry active guilds running around in Cyrodil, kicking both EP's and AD's buttocks. Characters
- Only-Drinks-With-Templars: Lvl 50 Argonian Magica Templar
- Bialozar: Lvl 50 Khajitt Stamina Nightblade
- Rez the Bald Sorceror: Lvl 50 Dark Elf Magica Sorceror
- Gerard Snow: Lvl 50 Dark Elf Magica Dragonknight
- Dorothea Black: Lvl 50 Imperial Stamina Templar
- Demon Cleaver: Lvl 50 Orc Stamina Warden
- Lord of BØnes: Lvl 50 Breton Magica Necromancer
PC/EU server. You'll find my characters hoping on and off on the plains of Cyrodil with the guild The Black.0 -

✭✭✭✭Because it is so time consuming to reroll your faction, and doing so locks you out of pveing with your friends. If I were given an easy way to transfer factions for PvP, without impacting PvE, I would always PvP with the lowest Pop faction.V16 Uriel Stormblessed EP Magicka Templar(main)
