Lock alliance when a campaign starts-URGENT CHANGE NEEDED

So this has become a big problem on ps4 where people just alliance hop to the alliance winning and it makes the other alliances have a huge disadvantage so i feel that there really is only one change that can fix this and that is locking alliances once the campaign starts. And what i mean by this is once you set a home campaign on a DC character you can only use your DC characters within that campaign and you cannot take any of your other alliances to that specific campaign until it is finished then you can choose which alliance you want to play for the next campaign. I feel that this will make pvp more balanced as it will force people to stick with there chosen alliance.

    I think dynamic population locks would be a better idea.

    I could get behind something like this. Being able to switch sides like we can currently takes the importance out of choosing an alliance in my opinion.

    I can understand how people keep skipping over to other alliances because there is no campaign lock, however we only have one champion point campaign now and the other two...are pretty much empty. (PS4-EU) I have other characters I have not played for months because I am trying to play one character in one campaign, however like @GeneralPardon stated that if we want to play with our guild or friends, we would be locked into a campaign... perhaps allow players to switch campaigns when a guild member asks? or something... I don't know its a tricky subject. Originally all my characters became stuck in a campaign (Haderus) because the lag was too great in the other ones, and I got some interesting messages from many players when I would switch over to play my other characters for a night...

    as if ruling the map is any more fun then owning nothing. There are bigger problems with population control that need to be addressed.

    I understand that some of your friends are not the same alliance as you and im not saying that is the problem i get that you want to play with your friends but the majority of player do not switch alliance to play with friends as they are playing with the same people that they were in a diffrent alliance, they just switch because they dont like being the underdog.

    No. It sucks that you're dealing with bandwagonners making things unbalanced, but dictating which campaign I can join, play with guildmates/friends on regardless of faction/character, level my alliance skills on characters that need it, and even roam about doing the PvE stuff, particularly for the entirety of a 30 day campaign, is something that will never get my support.

    For one, it goes against the entire spirit of One Tamriel and go where you want/play how you want. For two, I'm a member of 3 separate guilds, two of which will occasionally have PvP events as a certain rotating alliance, and occasionally participate in the Imperial City events of another guild. Our needs and desires vary based on what we're doing. Sometimes, we need the campaign that's mostly dead so we can roam about Imperial City doing quests and fighting bosses/ portals. If we're doing actual PvP, that's useless, though.

    The only time I might consider it is if all campaigns were equal in terms of rule set (duration/CP or no CP) and population. But since that will never happen, and since some people prefer a specific rule set, I'm going to say no. People should be able to play where, how, and with whomever they want. If that means piling on the winning team or getting on other characters to spy on the other alliances, that's a bummer. It's not something I would do, and I can't say I like it, but Cyrodiil is a free-for-all 3-way brawl- a war- not a friendly duel or festive, honorable tournament.

    there were a lot more campaigns and all pretty much the same when Zos did alliance locks on campaigns.

    Except there isn't really. There's the 30 day CP and two that are mostly dead, at least on PCNA.

    They had this in the past and there were so many issues caused by it so they removed it.

    I do wish something could be done. I play on Xbox na and when the new campaigns came out our ep guild decided to move from the non vet server into Almalexia. The campaign wasn't even a day old and already there was a massive guild in there monopolizing the map. They jumped to different alliances to flip keeps so they could sell empororship. Needless to say our own large guild slowed down their progress so when this guild were on their ep characters we received tons of verbal abuse. We decided to stick it out the entire first campaign but it became a huge drain on morale as it was a constant battle of drama.

    Definitely a no. This was how it was in the beginning, and it sucked. It was changed for a reason. You will end up with toons that cannot enter Cyro if you want alts on different factions.

    That happened when there were twice as many campaigns. With only two that matter currently, it would only take a day for this to become very unpopular.
