if looking on "main campaign" (Vivec) then I can say

EP - mostly zergs and RP players because of skyrim

AD - alos mostly just big zergs since zerg squad dominated cyrodil map can say long ago and many ppl switched to AD because it was winning alliance so also many casuals are here

DC - hmm, not zerging that much like rest, more faction loyal players as this alliance have nothing or just less reasons why switch to this alliance from another (like I wrote AD is now outpopulated because is winning alliance, EP have skyrim )

pffffffttttttt dc do nothing but faction stack

I can say it about reds and especially yellows haha xD
until we arnt poplocked and we going on AD keep with maybe just 10-20 then yellow defenders are always 2-3x more
and what you will say about red sieging? they almost never are able take keep with less than 40ppl in zerg while defenders are much less or atlest dont are outnumbered xD
great example is about dragonclaw

when I with friends going to take dc we are able to take it with just 2 man or simple blue group with maybe 10 people
but reads always are going with atlest 20 ppl on empty dc and they cant take it if are atlest 5 defenders here xD
last time few days ago I just saw how 30+ man zerg was taking empty DC xDDD

yes, sometimes I see how DC is zerging some keeps but I rarely it see and especially rarely I see how DC is zerging with number advantage over other alliances

...er because my world centres around my experience and my experience is that Blue has the best "character"? There are a lot more oranges than there are purples or greens by-the-way.

Oh, and to quote the guy from Dragonstar Arena regarding the vote/poll-colour results, "Well, that was unfortunate!" (vote AD and a red square is shown, vote EP and a yellow square is shown, thus revealing the true blue as the one and only definitive answer!)

EP.
Also, am I the only one who noticed OP got the colors swapped for EP and AD on this poll.

For me :

If you want numbers and no brain farming : EP
If you want big battles: AD
If you want small scale PVP : DC

NA or consolero? This is pretty much the opposite on PC EU.

1. Colors are kind of mixed up now. Please match alliance colors
2. None. Because factions are switching all the time

PC/NA
#1 = DC
#2 = EP
#3 = AD

I'm an AD player and this is how I see it;

DC has many of the best players and many of the worst but their average players are a little above the other factions average players.

AD has a lot of casual PvE'ers who play in Cryodiil while waiting the next DLC/Chapter to drop. Very nice people but mostly unorganized soloists when it come to PvP.

EP may have good PvPers but you'd never know it from the way they play the map. Every faction has it's share of AP *** who care nothing about the campaign, but EP seems to have more of them.

On PC NA Vivec campaign, DC seems to be the best by a little bit.

Tan9oSuccka · February 2018

It really doesn’t matter. Most good PVP people have characters in all factions.

Despite what everyone says they do in forums, you need numbers in large scale battles. (I don’t consider cheaping people by playing ring around the resource then ulti dump to be skilled).

EP generally has no shortage of quantity.

WanderLost · February 2018

EP all the way! DC is only winning because their poll color is right...

Asardes · February 2018

DC dominates Cyrodiil, and I don't mean what you think I mean

@Morgul667 That's interesting. EP seems to be the same on PS4 but DC and AD are opposites. DC have loads of large a** groups and one zerg leader will even kick someone from his group if they don't put down a siege. AD is full of small scale or solo players which is why we are bad at defending keeps. lol.

Kuramas9tails · February 2018

Well all know AD only goes after EP because we can't take DC keeps but we can gate EP easy. (Vivec)

We will even gate EP instead of dethroning DC. AD logic.

duendology · February 2018

I don't care.

I have no alliance prejudice. More, if the game says the thing in front of me is hostile to me (flashing red) I kill it whether it's a NPC or YOU.

After all these years...

There is no best - only bad, worse and ants.

TequilaFire · February 2018

Who can tell with all the faction jumping going on.

Enslaved · February 2018

dc is best, see how they zerged this pool?

There are good players and bad players at all 3 alliances. I voted EP because most of the time we face both enemy alliances at once.

Way back in the day before I took a long break from PVP, DC was the best at being the plucky underdog and forum warrioring, AD was best at rolling maps with enormous zergs, and EP was best at same during different times of day.

From my recent experiences in PC NA Vivec, DC is best at faction stacking every keep that has more than 3 defenders, EP is best at destro ulti pain trains, and AD is best at ignoring the map completely and getting farmed on the bridge or Ash FD.

But AD is the best looking, so I voted for AD.

I'm irked that the OP messed up the colors of the vote options.

Tommy_The_Gun · February 2018

That is pretty impossible to tell without server (EU or NA) or camping.
And tbh even who is wining or losing camping does not determine best / worst - because there is none.

After campaigns have been changed some time ago (alliance - lock was removed) people can switch sides... and still play the same campaign.
So imagine a football match when players can switch teams whenever they want at any point of the game.
Now try to answer - what team is better / worse ?

btw. Why the hell EP is yellow ?!

Drakkdjinn · February 2018

Everyone poops. Everyone Zergs.

It’s about time we had an up-to-date on the PvP factions and where they all stand.

I started out as AD, didn’t like the look of the map colors. Everyone was solo and hardly any groups. AD took the map sometimes but immediately got their butts handed to them.
Switched to DC. Sometimes we had only 2 keeps, then I join a large team that took over 90% if the map in 40 minutes. Now I went to EP because my friends are all there. Not sure how they will play out.

Xb1, PC NA

I like DC the most, it would be my “loyal” one.

What is faction stacking?

Tetrafy · February 2018

AD then DC then EP. Ep gets gated all the time. Blue is good but only good because tryhards jumped on alt toons to go blue. But still get handed by yellow on XB1.

Sergykid · February 2018

all are good really, and i`m a DC player, only because the orc is there.

usually the highest population online covers the map so ...

i voted EP anyway because argonian is best race for PVP, much more stronger than other rest.

EDIT: why didn't u put the colors accordingly >_<

SRASinister · February 2018

On xbox na:
At the release date and for a little over half a year
DC: individual players were at a higher skill level due to being constantly outnumbered but still won haderus week after week
AD: had some bad players but had the largest amount of pc transfers and the best ball groups
EP; zerged and got farmed constantly as a whole

Now
every faction is the same pretty much. ad went through a peculiar cycle where the pc players mostly quit and ad became the ep of old and got zerged and farmed for a while until some guilds learned. now it is just a stalemate where every alliance is the same. there is no superior alliance anymore it is just zerg v zerg v zerg with crap ball groups trying to farm. vivec becomes so unbelievably laggy.
