    I'm tired of PVP-ing for alliance, I just want to play and not sit on a wall because there's nothing going on because people start logging off when they start loosing, or because they can't go anywhere

    so no

    How do you want to restrict that when there is only one competetive campaign?

    I wasn't aware that Azura's Star wasn't competitive at all. That campaign is the 2nd most populated and VERY competitive to the point of entire guilds going at each other's throats on the forums and in-game.

    People aren't logging off they're doing the same thing you're doing switching to the side that's winning. That is why it's a problem.

    oh yeah, and then there's this...getting pvdoored everytime you log on gets old, fast...I good thing about it though - you don't have to ride your horse too far when you die...

    back in the day I remember playing in a campaign where the gate was always open, and players would be waiting for you to jump down off the home base wall - no horse riding then :p

    I've been gone for a few months, when did ZOS implement an Alliance change?
    Or do you mean logging into a character from Alliance A, then switching to a character in Alliance B in the same campaign?
    I'm a man of few words. Any questions?

    Sure but it's just inconsistently competitive over 24 hours. Pretty good at prime time, but other times there's more fun on TF, where there's always something going on.

    As someone who plays multiple factions and knows many others that do, I can tell you it's very mich the opposite: many of us log on the underdogs.
    Make Rush of Agony "Monsters only." People should not be consecutively crowd controlled in a PvP setting. Period.

    Not sure how you think consistent night-capping by either faction is competitive. An actual competitive campaign used to consist of all 3 factions having a relatively equal presence at all times, not 1 faction getting pushed to their gates every night. The pvp population has decreased too much for that to exist anywhere aside from Trueflame.

    I don't know when that's ever occurred. Ep used to ruthlessly nightcap the hell out of Thornblade then mercilessly lag it to the ground primetime-spurring the great exodus. Nightcapping, pvdooring and anti-competitive gameplay and gate pushing has been occurring since day one and all three factions are guilty. It's ok to call someone out on it (because I am more than happy to do it) but let's not be all Polly Anna and act like there ever was a truly totally fair campaign.

    I'm comparing Trueflame to both Haderus and Azura's, not to past campaigns that happened over a year ago. Azura's is guaranteed to be completely capped every morning, that doesn't happen in Trueflame.

    But for the actual thread topic, ZOS removed the restriction because players had multiple accounts and could log onto other factions in the same campaign anyway. To reinstall that restriction would mean they would have to add more campaigns, and that's something the pvp population can't maintain at the moment.

    There used to be a timer restricting alliance switching, but they removed that in the past. They really need to bring it back for all you faction switching ***.

    I don't log when we are loosing, I log or do PVE when there's no action on the map because whichever Alliance I'm playing for controls too much of the map

    I have a AD toon still left to level, then I'll be able to play all 3 whenever I feel like - TF PC NA

    Azuras requires a completely different gearset for your character. I don´t consider azura an option for a char build for CP campaigns and vice versa (which is the core problem of that campaign and why i think it should not exist).

    It's just needing another set or armor. Maybe not even a full set, just different jewelry enchants or a different mundus. It's not like you have to respec or anything.

    The fact that when an alliance comes together and starts winning and I'm gonna pick on AD true flame on my comment. What they'll do is when they start losing like tonight they'll take there guilds or pack of 30-50 players log onto there DC toons in the same campaign hence green faction and start pushing EP. Never understood it or why they have to stoop to that kind of playstyle. TF is always locked so why keep swamping factions when AD starts to fall out of 1st place. Sounds to me like they need DC to hold there hand to win this campaign for them cuz they can't do it on their own....... am I wrong?

    Mayhaps the word competitive has different meanings among different people. I play on Azura's Star not because I view it competitive in the least, but because I belong to a little guild who happens to be homed there.

    When I feel like participating in a more balanced campaign, I play on Trueflame with another guild.

    Yeh I think you're wrong, I know a handful of players who have toons on other factions, but to suggest there are cross faction guilds? Lol. Green, purple, orange, are a natural occurance in 3 faction pvp.

    Personally I'm too busy celebrating Christmas to even log into Eso... just checking forums on my phone atm. A lot of guilds probably won't even be running groups over the next couple of days.

    With my pvp skills I'm better off healing and repairing walls. When I try to fight with any of my AD, DC or EP toons it feels like I'm bringing the alliance down from the inside.

    Yesterday was EP, today was AD and tomorrow will likely be DC, wash, rinse, repeat.

    I remember what it was like last year when you couldn't have all your toons in one campaign, Worked well if all you wanted to do was the pve content of Cyrodiil, or collect skyshards.
    Solo PvP and PvE most of the time.

    I make it a big point to rez everyone...doesn't matter what their level or skill might be - what is important is that it's one more body for the enemy to target, that isn't me :p

    truth of the matter though, whomever has the most fun - wins...

    People log to the losing faction, not the winning faction lol. Why? Cause every single faction when winning try to cap the whole map and kill PVP.
