As a stamblade I am nowhere near ready to become an emperor but what strategy should I use to become emperor

Unfadingsilence · August 2017

Depends on what platform you play on and what campaign you play in as well. But the ony strategy you should use is this first get all the quest pick ups done before the reset of the campaign. Then go into a delve and kill a boss so you can get the extra points for an hour. then after the reset turn all 5 quest in 30 mins after the reset so the points will be added to your overall score then just follow zerg. If you play in a low pop campaign get a group together and take the keeps but remember you need 50k AP before you can become emp.

Zerg for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

kargen27 · August 2017

When things are slow go around and repair every wall or door you can. When with a group put out as much AoE as you can. Eventually you are going to need other players to help your alliance take all the keeps you need. Go in at the start of a campaign and be prepared to live on microwave food for a while. It can take some time.

There are cross-alliance guilds that work with each other such that they cycle through everyone. Join one of those if you can.

Then it is very unlikely you will crown. Just reconcile with the fact that you will need to work with/play other factions if you want a realistic shot at emperor.

Your other option is go to non vet Kyne at the start of the campaign with a good build/set up for 10-20 levels and hope you're the biggest no lifer on the server and pray that others on your faction will help you flip the emp keeps when the time arrives.

Keep in mind that ESO is an MMO so ultimately it is a social experience so knowing and becoming familiar with those on your faction/server will greatly increase your chance at crowning.

Becoming emperor has nothing to do with strategy, skill, or gameplay. Go for it.

MakoFore · August 2017

i went for emp once- but then made the mistake of eating and sleeping. once i got to the top though- i also found it very very political on pc eu anyway. there are guilds that have the power to win all the keeps, or give up all the keeps -and there have been interesting/unsavoury stories of what people have done to get emp.
in my case - i was challenging another player for emp in our campaign- he was in lots of strong guilds - i was a solo player ganking with a mate sometimes. anyway- i got all types of buullying and crap from others - telling me to back down, etc. i also got invites to guilds which was nice- but they basically said if i was to run for emp i had to do it with them. not saying its like that in all campaigns and servers - but thats what i got. maybe alots changed- but on some servers and campaigns- its like real war- politic- a bunch of grown men playing toy soldiers. i might go for it again one day.

in terms of advice- you need to get alot of ap- even when ur not killing, so have alot of gold, repair alot, and take resources solo. everyone makes about the same amount of ap peak times- joining a zerg- but to be able to clock ap all around- some classes are real well suited for that- nightblade being the best, also magplar- as they can survive alone .

Not true at all. The PvP guild I am in has crowned over fifty emperors and we have never coordinated with other factions.

Then it doesn't sound like any real competition exists where your guild plays.

Or we are good. We have placed an Emperor in all (not sure on non vet haven't played that one) the campaigns.

You want to become Emperor? Then your class, build, and actual skill in PvP combat do not really matter at all.

Do you like shenanigans?

Remember, there is no such thing as an honest politician, not even in ESO.

If you want to be Emperor you have to stop playing the game and start playing the system for all you're worth. And you need to get involved with a lot of other like-minded people who are ready to play the system on your behalf. The exchange of favours is involved. In a word, "swapping".

Ask yourself, is that something you really want to get involved with? Are you really that kind of person?

Or did you just come here to have fun playing a fast-paced combat game in the Sword and Sorcery genre?

The choice is yours.

Feanor · August 2017

Easiest should be at the very start of a 7 day buff campaign when you can play for some days straight if needed.

Biro123 · August 2017

There are an awful lot of very good, very experienced and very dedicated pvpers who have never been emp.
The fact that you have to ask suggests to me that you are none of the above, and have a VERY long way to go.
Some titles just aren't meant for everyone.

No real competition exists in ESO, go see teams playing in "e-sports" for money to understand what 'real competition' is in a video game, Cyrodil is a joke in that respect.

Feanor · August 2017

E sports is like a job. You train for 10 hours a day or more like you would when you're working a normal job. And ofc when 10.8 million are at stake like in the Dota 2 championship people will probably be a bit better than your average Cyrodiil player

Brrrofski · August 2017

Emperor is more time you have to play than skill. You literally need to no life it for days until your alliance capture the right keeps.

Atm on the busiest 30 day campaign the top 2 player for Pact are both zerglings.
Neither are CP 630, both in the 400s.

I've witnessed both fight and oh my they suck, the top player is a stamblade.
All he does is Zerg all day and repair walls, 1v1 he gets wrecked by any decent player.

If he can get emp on the busiest campaign, not being CP cap, whilst being not a great player then I believe anybody can.

Time is key though.

Incoherence is real.

*Meanwhile I am laughing at a conceited*

Well, I guess prox mine+destro ult+streak follow up with BoD+VE zerg to harvest AP is not a zergling but really a true skill. I know, I know, DC are inherently more skilled and geared.

I mean I could play

All depends on what platform you play on Xbox ps4 pc and is it on NA or EU

Play on the NA pc server not that it really matters. The post I replied to made it sound like the only way to get emperor is to have the other factions give it to you. That is not the case. Yes some choose to take that route. Doesn't mean it is the only way.

This reason alone is why I'll NEVER be emperor. I can't stand playing for more than a few hours at a time.

Megabear · August 2017

You may have to break some rules if you are not willing to negotiate. Such as sharing an account. Subject to ban I believe but I wouldn't be surprised if most of the emperors broke this rule to get emperor.

DarkAedin · August 2017

I got emp bc of the previous double ap week, stayed at front lines, was there for most keep takes and defenses. Started solo during the day and with the guild i raid in for a few hours at night. Made callouts and finally grouped up with like minded front line ppl from zone chat. We had some good fun and i kade new friends. Then i logged off for two weeks straight on that toon and aussies got emp for me twice while i was waking up lol

Vapirko · August 2017

Try joining one of the smaller campaigns that your faction dominates. Then just be online more than anyone else and take every resource, be at every battle and get every defense tick you can for as long as it takes. Not skill just time. There's some truly awful people/players who have made it to emp.

leepalmer95 · August 2017

Basically to get emp nowdays you run in a huge zerg spam heals and take keeps/ resources for the flat amount of ap they give you now.

I've never seen a non zerger emp since the Ap changes to keeps/ resources

Previously the ap was shared equally between everyone so if you was running around in a big zerg you wouldn't get much, this gave small scalers or even solo players a chance to rack up enough ap to get emp.

However nowdays because of zos's amazingly thought out ap change which was catered to casuals and pve's you now get ap for afking at the back of zergs. Its not a small amount either you get a LOT of ap for taking keeps/ resources. Literally get 10.5k ap for taking an empty keep and its resources.

So how to get emp.

Play a lot.

Be in a pvp zerg guild

Siege empty keeps and take resources, with the ram changes you can front door keeps and take them within a minute easily with full balista/ ram in a pvp zerg guild.

Don't be a solo player, don't be a smale scaler, don't actually kill players because you'll fall behind in ap.

Once you get that an get emp congrats you'll have it for 30 days now because of the amount of ap you'll get as emp means you'll leave behind other players.
