Thoughts on being allowed multiple characters on different factions on the same campaign

TheVindelator · March 2016

Good

In the non-vet campaign, I really support this change...because there's only one non-vet campaign and that really limits what I can do with low-level characters.

But across the board, I'm not so sure.

Its ok now because nobody gives a damn about campaign score.

Not a real fan of this but as I see it there was not much choice for players with the 3 faction levelled.

I would have like to see if you entered a campaign with another faction character, it should lock out the other two faction characters for at least 24 hours.

eg:- I main a DC character so if I enter its home campaign with either a AD or EP character my DC one should be ( and what ever faction character left ) locked out for a given amount of time.

Good when used appropriately by mature players.

Like most things in game.

I've been playing on Azura's a lot lately since I don't like the lag or zerg tactics of the other servers. When AD has dominated the map i've played DC, and when DC has dominated the map I've played AD. Last night I logged on and DC was gate-camping AD -- literally they had a group just outside the gates waiting for AD to push to bloodmayne and later inside the gates. Had a lot of fun killing them as they tried to farm the other AD.

This is actually a really good idea because it would let people remain trustworthy at least within the context of the battle, and that is a good thing.

truly terrible idea in my opinion ...even the old way of grouping and porting into campaigns you were not part of should have been blocked, this just makes it so much worse.

AvAvA ...doesnt really apply anymore , its just becoming more and more AP farming.

Being a part of any alliance has become pretty much meaningless for a lot of people, sad state of affairs really

They most likely wanted to remove the coding because it was causing more strain on the sever, and thought it was best to change things to be open. I don't think they will ever change it back, if they want to continue adding content they had to remove the unnecessary coding.In order to fix a lot of the lag problems or at best make lag not as bad as it was.

I only say Good because of the lack of campaigns, if we had more than my answer would be different.

Everyone should only be allowed to be on one alliance

You should at least be able to take a campaign as guest when you have another char from another faction that has it as main. That way you can play with the char you want on any campaign (and play with the friends you want, from any faction) but you cant be on leaderboards of 2 faction nor can you always get the reward campaign's end of the winning faction (if anyone still care) so you better make your main faction win.

The problems come when people start doing things like picking up the scroll and purposefully run to the wrong alliances keep. Particularly when they get a person on the other alliance to stand at a door so they can get ambush strike carried through the door leaving the scroll support group behind.

It also makes spying far too easy to do. Its a war so I can understand the spying side within reason even if I dont fully support it. However I think the rules on spying just arent solid enough and switching characters at will is not how spy games should work. If a game supports spying then it still needs to implement some restriction on what spying can be done.

Depends on the person EP in scourge on PS4 us are running scrolls back to eps side after taking them on low level DC characters after they kill their buddies that they are letting in the keep.as of right now it's only players from a certain EP guild.

Bad:

In the "old school" of PvP you found also "spys" on each realm, that in this cases all of them played nearly fair. Also they had no chance to play unfair, because the hole community will trough over them and kill them and they get killed by the hole existing guilds and alliances.
Here in ESO, you have no existing alliances on europe and no existing guilds, who can stop it, so this guys, do what they want.
You call it PvP! I call it a sandbox-pvp, playing and sandling in the dirt, more is ESO not.
The old school: "lesser dosent go, to call it a PvP-game, so you play a very, very small scaled PvP-Game here, that is critical on the path to say ,it is PvP at all.

VagabondAngel · April 2016

Good

I've been playing PvP for 2 years and have made friends with many "enemies" over that time. It is nice to play with them from time to time... As well as duel people I have played alongside for this long; there can be alot of fun in that, too.

Mentalities that need to cheat or troll for kicks will find a way to do that anyway and restricting people like myself from the choice is not an antidote.

Bad, guilds with both factions manipulate the scoring and Emperorship but logging in one faction, dethroning the current Emperor, be sure their guildie is first in the Leaderboard (no idea how they can make 4X the AP of number 3 and 4) probably "dueling". Stay with one faction and fight for it. The fact that you are an emperor who didn't put a lot of effort make you a bad Emperor. If you want to play an alt, use another campaign, you shouldn't be able to read the Zone chat where everybody is discussion where to attack next. so Bad Bad Bad.

Well unless they want to give us our *** campaigns back so all three of my factions can have a 30 day Champion campaign to Home on, then yeah! Let all three of my factions play the same damn campaign!

Being part of an alliance has been meaningless since the game came out and they allowed Multifaction guilds. Why even try to pretend there's faction loyalty at this point? You're just delusional if you think there is any! Only DAoC did it right. You couldn't guild, chat or campaign on the same server with other realm players.

Göttermutter · May 2016

Bad

In DAoC you needed more than a shiny guild to bring back a scroll at all! This means planing, a night or morning raid. I guess for all existing Guilds here it would be a farce to think more around than looking out around the big round table and find them self keeped in a "tabula rasa", a labyrinth they can not find a way out with a leader, who takes them by the hands.

they tried it the other way before, and they were getting problems with people's new characters getting locked out of cyrodiil entirely, and with character slots coming to the crown store, if they reverted, this would become an even greater issue

Delsskia · May 2016

Bad

It's a horrible idea. The only reason it's allowed is because ZOS killed off so many campaigns. The sad fact is that perception often trumps reality. If you play the same campaign on multiple factions you're almost automatically considered a spy. It creates guild drama, faction drama and campaign drama.

Also, ZOS please fix the Shuffle and Bombard bugs, they're beyond ridiculous.

W0lf_z13 · May 2016

Def voted bad for this ... I agree completely with everything some of the others have been saying. Being allowed to switch as we are creates instability in the health of a campaign.... With the ability to swap factions some/alot of people jump to the faction that is winning the campaign ...
