Am i the only one who's OCD gets triggered SO HARD every time i look on my character selection screen and i see a missmatch between race and alliance???
Why can't we have alliance change tokens...put some limits on them if pvp are an issue that you can only change alliance every 30 days or something...

    "any race any alliance should be base game!"

    "Alliance change token cuz my orc is in the pact and it doesn't make sense!"

    Am I the only one confused?

    Hmm. In today's game, alliance doesn't really have much juice. Don't see the problem....

    Yes please. I'd love to be able to convert my loan character that was created before I had any race/any alliance to DC.

    I would just delete her but I have spent too much gold, too much real world time and money on her to just throw her away.

    Are you agreeing with OP or disagreeing? Instructions unclear. Placed pig in bathtub.

    *shrug* Disagreeing.... I don't pay any attention to faction. In fact, I really dislike the entire faction crap.

    Um. Don't want a pig in the bathtub, though, thanks.

    Remember faction loyalty? I don't ...

    But it's a nice sentiment and I'd like to see more of it.

    You know, in all seriousness, instead of a purchasable token (which would wreck pvp if not on a major ACCOUNT cool down) maybe have a one time per character alliance change as a reward for completing cadwells gold.

    At that point you've experienced all three alliance storylines and maybe feel like that character is really more EP than AD for example.

    I liked how Fallen Earth had a rep wheel that you could fight through to the other factions ingame. But of course you'll have players gaming it. But at least you could switch up your faction when you wanted by just grinding reputation with your fave factions. Z needs something like that for us, but with One Tamriel probably doesn't work like that.

    First, we need faction-locked campaigns. Then we can talk faction-change tokens.

    I’ll be loyal to a faction when they stop arguing like ten year olds. So probably never.

    I like another idea. Free Alliance. You choose it for a campaign duration and cannot change without penalty. Outside PVP campaigns (and IC, which going to be a campaign too soon) Alliances make no sence at all since One Tamriel. Alliance ranks should be changed from "AD/DC/EP RankName" to simply "Alliance War RankName". And no more mad grinding skills for a new char, no more "I cannot play with you, dudes, my only DC char is trash dungeon heal".

    In this instance I would absolutely allow an alliance change. Just for this guy to get rid of that disgusting AD character. One can only hope it's used as a pack mule for bank overflows.

    Pretty last month Zos clearly stated they were not interested in this during the Twitch Q&A Zos did after announcing the DLC and Chapter info about a month ago.

    Rich was pretty clear on the issue and left no question that Zos would reconsider the issue.

    Orc in pact makes sense. Bretons and Redguards sacked orsinium. Having a grudge against them is more than reasonable. Plebs can't make their own little backstory.


    NOW CLASS CHANGE THOUGH GIVE IT!

    lol. I wish it was! It is the second character I ever made so is kind of my "second main". Too much time and effort spent to just delete it and reroll. :(

    Nothing to be loyal about aside from role play reasons.

    How about as a compromise you can only get alliance change tokens as a once of thing with any-race/any alliance. People that have already bought it get tokens retrospectively allocated. The base game allows 15 characters now so you'd have an account lifetime allowance of 15 tokens max. That way you can change one character 15 times, or all your characters once.

    It seems most people only want to change so they can either 1) play their main character with their friends or a new guild or 2) have a few characters they created before they had the any-race/any-alliance DLC and want to convert existing characters to their main alliance.

    Most people would use an alliance change maybe at most once every few months so with 15 tokens you'd have enough to last the life of the game for most people and it would keep people from faction swapping constantly as they would have a limited number they could use. No need for complicated time limits or anyything just a global limit.

    They should just do away with alliances. The only place it matters is in cyro and people jump from faction to faction.
