I have toons on all three factions but AD I dislike the most. Zerg, gank and being butthurt when you kill them.
EP is nice but they have heavy communication issues and dont really know what working together means.
DC has a lot of really skilled players but tend to get cocky. Okayo communication between groups and pugs.

Seems that NA and EU are very different as far as who joins what alliances (or mains there rather).. as you can see from the posts lol. Usually the most down to Earth people play in multiple alliances (although we all can call one our main I'm sure) and play on multiple characters. Not always, but it seems to be a common theme.

No doubt the servers are different by far in terms of behavior. Lol.
Of course, it doesn't mean that all players on a faction follow that particular pattern - PVPwise this what I have experienced from those two factions.
You're right.

My main is DC - but as I said I have multiple characters on all three factions.

Dc here

Dc: Lowest population, most skilled people, mostly solo people who then "solo" into one direction, chat is basicly dead, loves to move from ales to bleakers to chal to arrius only to die and respawn

Ad: Furries and Elven lovers, mid sized population and still a lot of skilled players, many gankers and in general they love fotm builds, they are the least interested in pvp objectives and just aim for ap farming

Ep: Skyrim and Morrowind fanboys, by far the highest population ( seriously they reach populaton cap during 3 am night while ad and dc are 1 bar... ), very few elite players, touch arrius keep and you unleash the red fury ( every single red will be there )

dRudE · May 2016

The majority of PvP folks in any game have big epe.. I mean egos! People are very much the same and rarely do I see any difference between alliances, it's just a different color.

Granted some are just blindly in love with their faction and can't see outside the box, that's cool, faction pride and all that jazz is one reason I enjoy playing an mmo.

But the truth is:

All factions Zerg
All factions have in-fighting
All factions have new-players
All factions gank
All factions have solo'ers
All factions have elitists
All factions have hardcore players
Aaand most importantly All factions consist of humanity! And all the wonderful social economics that come with being part of it.

Burning_Talons · May 2016

Xbox NA

Aldemeri(My first faction)
Nothing but magic users who can usually 1vX, has massive zergs, never jumps down from keep wal. Stable zone chat except Elden Root. Most Passive PvPers. Some will literally just in near an enemy zerg and wave. Best base in game by far. Hates anybody who hops from EP to AD.

Ebonheart(My main faction. I like being the underdog) Highly populated but less then AD, Best PvErs and marketing so they usually have alot of coin. Complete Trash at PvP. Except for a few mostly because they are Roleplayers and EP has the worst races imaginable. Zone chat is the most ear bleeding, cancerous thing in all of Nirn. Always vaping cuz VapeNation or something. Doesnt enjoy the small scale/Solo factor which is why I never participate in guild PvP because its too many people. In short- Rich PvErs who are easy AP.

Daggerfall-
Only ever see these guys ganking in questing hubs, On the other side of the map near EPvAD conflicts to be a nuisance, defending Chalman or escorting their "Holy" Golden Gunz everywhere. Thats it

Other alliances......

What other alliances??

DC is the only Alliance

cia on the battlefield

DC, the ultimate solo'ers. Left alone DC will be found in every corner of the map picking flowers, and fishing. attack a home keep, and they'll crawl out of their delves and come from every corner of the map and form the blue tide. DC players typically have a pretty high skill level because they're used to fighting 1vs X. They have a very unusual obsession with claiming chal, and it's not uncommon to see the strangest defensive strategy of all occur, the fabled CHALAMO, in which case it is the only keep DC has, and every DC can be found inside.

AD- The min maxers, the elites, They don't group play to well (atleast in siege situations) and typically stick to small gank groups till something like their SACRED alessia bridge is tread upon or alessia is actually taken. 75% of the population is nightblade, and typically these are the "best" over all players because their elites can take on 5-9 people by themselves. These players take whatever advantage they can ruthlessly, and are well known for their habits of ledge camping in imperial city, or perching on castle walls and never coming down.

EP- Skyrim kiddos, Zerglings, When you see 1, there are 12 behind them... and thats their idea of "soloing" haha.... By far the most populated faction, and by far the worst skilled faction in the game. DC and AD alike can take on 5-10 of these buggers by themselves...but that means nothing when they have 75 stomping their way towards you. Everyday when school gets out the red tide begins, and the AP flows for all of us. They do have a few note worthy elites...but I think those are all banned now

For NA PC, this is dead-on accurate. Interesting seeing the differences between the NA/EU/consoles.

Nermy · May 2016

I am EP.

They are the enemy.

Drazkyth · May 2016

Regardless of Alliance all races aside from the Dunmer should be enslaved or put to death.

EP - Zergs, Annoying idiots, skilled players and cheaters.
DC - Zergs, Annoying idiots, skilled players and cheaters.
AD - Zergs, Annoying idiots, skilled players and cheaters.

Silver_Strider · May 2016

PS4 NA

AD - Zerg King but 90% of their players suck. Also, seem insistent on constantly attacking Reds, even when Blue has captured all their starter keeps and have taken their scrolls, because reasons (stupidity?). Bunch of elitist A.holes with a sense of superiority that is unjustified and undeserved.

DC - More skilled players than other alliances but tend to have less people also. Fairly quiet overall but there is some inward hatred towards some guilds there.

EP - Mix of everything. Zerglings, organized guilds, high population (but fewer than Yellow). Hellbent on defending Arrius above all else. Lot of inward hatred between other guilds.

EP is my main but honestly, I've been in so many bad groups/guilds in PvP that I've often just go off and do my own s*** and often get much better results than had I stayed with the group. I've solo defended AND captured Keeps, which considering how many people we supposedly have on, shouldn't really be happening but whatever, more AP for me I guess.

NBrookus · May 2016

DC PC NA Haderus

It's hard to ID your own group from the inside. We are almost always outnumbered. DC gets fixated on Chalman for no logical reason.

AD - Usually has at least as many players as DC and EP combined. Likes to PvDoor the map in the morning (US time), then it's a rain of zergs all evening. Most of them are quite squishy. Has an unhealthy obsession with Ash.

EP - Zergy sometimes but can't muster the raw numbers of AD. At least one good small group. Can't leave Ales farm alone for two minutes and seems to think Dragonclaw is a home keep. They are lots more fun to fight than the yellow horde down south even though most nights we should both be pushing AD instead of fighting over Bleakers.

I am also on ps4/NA but make my home in Scoruge. Mostly I agree with OP. Let me say that this is only from my own experience and thinking in general terms, not specifics. Each faction has its own Beasts and scrubs but as a whole this is how I see it:
EP has the numbers but lack strategy.
AD has the strategy and numbers.
DC seems to have the best individual players but lack cohesion, and has too many PvE grinders.

I am all DC. Had characters in the other factions but deleted them after I got into PvP. From my experience EP has the most childlike players (teabag people when they beat them with a 5:1 advantage), AD seems to use cheap tactics (30+ people to sit on the Fort Ash sewer entrance and gank the groups of 2 or three that trickle into IC) and DC's biggest problem is that the PvE grinders pop-lock the campaigns and the PvPers can not get in to PvP. You sit in que for 30 mins and when you get into the campaign you only see 10 Blues defending anything! The self-centered grinders complain that DC does not have a home server yet they are the ones that are stopping us from obtaining one. Entering a campaign and then spending the entire time in the sewers grinding does not benefit anyone but the grinder. If you can not fight to maintain easy IC access STAY OUT OF IC and do not complain when you have to ride for 15 mins to get to the entrance....and then get ganked when you do get there.
Imperial City is the worst thing to happen to Cyrodil since AOE caps

Blacksheepart · May 2016

I see one consistency in these threads, "DC has the most skill." Thank you, thank you. Lol
Sorry I'm partial.

LFG .....

EP - Within a minute you are in a grp
AD - Also no hassle to get in grp
DC - LFG .... LFG .... LFG ..... u give up and go solo

SO MUCH THIS, and the thing about EP is, I tend to believe EP are a Younger crowd, because when someone Posts in General where *** is going down, you may be in a tight-nit group of 5-7, But when you get there, you are going have 100,000 EP at your Heels following because god damnit EP isn't loosing today!

Then half of them break off the group round the other side of the Castle and Take down a second wall while you're tryin to go the Strategic route. EP ftw

kevlarto_ESO · May 2016

All factions have good and bad, I play AD only and during my play time, I am always amazed at how many players EP can field, crazy numbers, I know I hear about the AD zerg but I rarely see it in my play time, with the willy-nilly faction swapping that goes on, at times DC can have big numbers, but these days it is rare to see EP below 2 bars even at odd times of the night. On Trueflame.

But on Haderus, I have never seen more whiney factions than DC, EP getting hate tells telling me how bad a player I am, while they are the ones dead on the ground, guess their cheats did not save them so they complain LOL.

But in the end it is all fun and just a game.

Ethoir · May 2016

PC - NA
I do play PvP on all three alliances, but I like sticking with my AD main toon over in Haderus and my oopinions stem from my experiences in Haderus.

EP: They have some good fighters in there, though sometimes they have some problems organizing and suffer for it. They also have their zergballs (from time to time and have an obsession with BRK and Alessia. Bridge battles anyone? I refer to them as reds or jokingly as "mead-loving drunkards".

DC: They've been getting better populations lately, which is good for them even if they're still outnumbered most of the time. I am tempted to use the word "nightcappers" but that wouldn't be fair because we're all guilty of it to some degree. They've very recently become a personal frustration for me these past two weeks. I should take that as a good sign, I guess. I like to jokingly call them Smurfs.

AD: Ah, my "favored" alliance. I put quotes on that because while I love the way they handle in PvE lands, it is a different matter in PvP. There are only three or four organized guilds in PvP that I actively know about and there should be more. At least getting in a group isn't a big deal, but getting into one with a teamspeak depends on what time of day you jump into PvP and which group you joined with (plus wither they accept guests in their TS or not). They can have the numbers on their side and still get squished like bugs from time to time which can be really frustrating. An example of this was 6 EP managing to wipe out nearly twice as many AD at Brindle LM like it was easy and without the use of siege weapons. I wanted to face-desk so much at that wipe (I even had a colorful metaphor for it). Alas. In lighter tones, I sometimes call AD the Bananas or the Yellowjackets when I'm in another campaign on my DC or EP characters.

They all have their ups and downs. Some more frustrating than others.

Volla · May 2016

AD - people that cannot play
EP - kids/cheaters etc
DC - old people that runs in circles.

You just switched AD with EP. It's the other way around.

Lenikus · May 2016

EP :
• Lusty Argonians
• Inbred *** Nords
• Racist Slavers (also kinky)

DC :
• ...Ethnic people
• "That kind" of generic RPG human
• ..I dunno... Orcs?

AD :
• Hawt elf babes
• Fun Size'd elf babes
• P-... Cats

PvP wise,
EP has a killerboner for Alessia, DC for Nikel, and AD for BRK and ASH... also drake.... aaaaaaand Dragonclaw.
Come to think of it i guess AD has the weirdest players

crowfl56 · May 2016

PC<>NA server , West Coast and not Calif

I have always disliked EP, they seem to have, lets say, abused the game to gain an advantage in pvp.

DC have come along way, and seem to have gotten their *** together in pvp, very well organized and deadly.

AD has some of the most skilled pvp players, so when the right guilds are in pvp they are almost unstoppable, almost being

the correct term

Mr.Hmm · May 2016

EP = less skilled people?
.........

.......

I may be drinking my mead, fighting while drunk and trolling in pvp but you dare call me less skilled?..... Such insult cannot go unpunished.

MaddPowered · May 2016

AD : Over populated, Ultimate Abusing tool bags
DC: The gankiest gankers. Never have more than 3 keeps at a time in any campaign
EP: Needs to play with other people because they lack the knowledge to play by themselves. 9/10 times chose EP because they "Loved" morrowind so much and they get "So much nostalgia" from the first zone.

Verdict: I play all three and i want to die

Mastilicious · May 2016

I play EP, on PC in EU.

EP - crazy amount of people that refuse to use english, very chaotic in pvp.

AD - I usualy feel heavy outnumbered by them, maybe because I never take part in any zerg (crazy lag issues in ESO). Can't remember any 1v1 with AD in Cyrodill, there's always another one stealthed around.

DC - Some of them are very skilled in pvp, some of them are total newbs and AP givers. Only faction that often lures me to 1v1 , I usualy lose. Overall they are cool.
