    Not a token.

    You should be able to choose to 'defect' or 'infiltrate' (same result but for RP purposes) and it costs alliance points.

    That way, you can't just change at whim, and you need to earn your way to the other side.

    I would be okay with that, if the cost was in the millions of AP and had a long cooldown.

    Agreed. Id be cool with it costing millions of AP as well. That would limit it somewhat. I think most of us advocating for this aren't looking to do this multiple times all the time.

    I know the argument against alliance change is fear that people will flip-flop alliances based on whoever is winning in Cyrodiil at the moment

    I LOL'ed at that.

    Even if it was an issue and they implemented it poorly, how much different is that then just logging onto an alt?

    i'm all for an alliance change capability.

    as far as i'm concerned, it can be a one time thing.

    ymmv.

    1 time thing I really don't see ZOS doing. You have to look at it from a third party perspective. ZOS is a business, if they are going to do something like that, they are going to want money/profit from it. Exactly like race/name change tokens.

    i agree with you, they'd rather have players hopping alliances - maybe with multiple characters - for cash, without a doubt.

    one shot people like me need not apply.

    It would be much better for the community to have this option in play, regardless of how it was implemented.

    • OR only usable one time
    • people have the adventurer pack

    While I really don't care PvP, even alliances, I can't see anything against alliance switching, especially if you can change you race and gender, your most basic, well, features, what normally is impossible.

    Yes, why not, but in this kind of the loop:

    1st transfer CD 90 days, 2nd transfer CD 180 days, 3rd transfer CD 365 days, 4th 90 days, 5th 180, 6th 365, etc...

    For each toon, of course.

    Needs more options on poll, I would vote yes on alliance change, but I think 90days punishment is to much. Yes to token, but without any days limit to change again.

    I'm more interested in it preventing someone from playing multiple factions in a campaign season.

    I would be open to faction change, but you should be locked into 1 faction for the duration of the season. This could allow some guilds to stabilize some campaigns that become heavily biased towards a faction.

    I see some players, that I recognize, only playing the faction with the largest zerg pushing.

    Some people dont have time, energy or will to grind an alt. It just takes way too much time and energy. Alliance change can have a one year cooldown for all i care, but it should be added to the game

    Simply want to try PVP with my DK but for lore reasons I kept him in the Ebonheart Pact.

    I cannot bring it in me to kill my Dominion companions so I have to reroll, get my mount up to 60s, undaunted, mages guild to 10 etc etc etc

    Totally agree. The majority of the player base would be cool with that change.

    I think they should do an alliance change token but I think it should be a one time thing.

    I think I already voted but I wanted to address the "grind up an alt" option. I have done this so that I could PVP with my guild and my RL friends who were all in a different alliance than the one my character was in - an alliance I chose in ignorance (my own fault) because I just picked the race I wanted to play - without thinking about it.

    Yes grinding an alt to 50 is "easy" but that's only part of it - the riding speed, that's the killer. A one-time alliance change would be great - whether it be a cash shop token or perhaps something akin to when they reset CP after a big update - you can reset your alliance ONCE.

    Yes please.

    They can also remove Cadwell’s quests while they’re at it and have the hat and motif rewarded from Tamriel Hero instead. Sick of seeing that quest in my alts journal and not being able to abandon it.

    I dunno, Aldmeri Dominion is great enough to forgive people their mistakes but I'm not sure we want anyone that wasnt smart enough to choose Aldmeri Dominion the first time.

    But more seriously, I think you should only be allowed to swap every 60-90 days and only if you've completed the primary alliance quest on that character for the alliance you're swapping to.

    60-90 days is a firm enough timeline where ZOS would still be able to make money out of the clown store as well.

    I want this not for the sake of playing PvP

    I want it because early in the game I had 2 toons in another alliance and I just want them home!
