Shor will be exempt from the faction lock, so you can be as unloyal there as you like. Personally I've seen too many people abusing alliance switching on Vivec for me to want to allow it. From messing with scrolls, to tricking and ambushing pve players for massive AP def ticks. It needs to go I'm afraid.
Sorry for not roleplaying as a loyal warrior for king emeric. Omg stop this roleplay...
Shor is so empty that you can take a Home keep in primetime without anyone showing up to defend.
I'm sorry, watching inexperienced players getting led to a keep and then the group leader swapping to his friends faction to slaughter them for AP is roleplaying?
Or some *** relaying messages to his friends when and which scrolls we plan to take is also roleplaying? No. They affect the game seriously, even if you don't think so. I fully support faction locking.
And I'm not sure what server you're on, but even though Shor is never poplocked, it's not empty at all. I guest there when I can't play Vivec because of the lag
Can I also have one of those tinfoil hats please?
No. I have to wear double because the alien beams are getting stronger

Due to the current pvp pop, it is a bad idea, imo. If pop was healthier I'd say it is the right thing to do.
You can still play with your friends. Although, it will require you to buy another account or just wait til end of camp to switch sides.
Too many ppl claim they switch factions for your reasons, but seldom is it true. It may be for you though, since I don't know you enough to make that assumption.
Just make it that if for example your DC char have vivec as their home campaign you cant set Vivec your home campaign on your AD/EP char but you can still Join.
You dont get reward at the end of the campaign, you dont show up in the Leaderboard. Like a guest but you can still play with your EP friends when your DC friends arent online.......

Change my mind.
It discourages people from playing with their friends. It divides people when they wouldn't be otherwise divided. We should be moving towards more freedom to play with others, not less. Faction lock would make sense if we could choose our alliance at the start of every campaign, but we can't. Now if we want to play with friends on another alliance on an alt, we get absolutely nothing for it. Why?Finally Vivec will feel it is worth it. And not just core teams on all 3 sides and the randoms going to the winning alliance for the rewards.
Love the change, 30 day campaign is very long now knowing that from start to finish people made the decision to group up for the alliance sounds as a really good thing to me.
Who actually cares about winning? I've never met anyone who really cared one way or another.
Thats was also really annoys me. Cant play with my EP friends when all my DC friends are offline and i want to Switch for just one day.....
Shor is too empty to enjoy pvp cause you need to search for action 30+ minutes. Thats boring [snip].....
I really dont care AP or campaign rewards, i just want to play pvp and get decent Fights. Thats all i Care and when i cant get action on DC cause everything gets zerged down by them within 1 Minute then i want to switch to EP for nice Action or just playing with friends. Thanks for taking this away and making ESO PvP even more boring.
[snip] Or this so called purple alliance. Its [snip], ad chasing us for 10 minutes with 30 ppl, we cant Fight them so weit kite them into a EP zerg where they get wiped. That has nothing to do with spies or purple alliance. Its just getting outplayed. And instant 5 hate wispers about how we work with EP together. [snip]
[snip]
Just play in the Open campaign. You're not affected at all.
Other campaigns are empty as i Said multiple Times.

Oh, wait. Maybe you're on PC. Sorry for your luck.

Yesterday we had a doofus shooting ballista at the Chalman milegate in the DC alliance ALL DAY LONG while he bragged about it in zone chat because EP had a DC scroll locked away in Chalman Keep. So DC couldn't do anything about him because he was on our alliance screwing us over. All these little abuses snowball and make up a bigger part of the picture, but either this OP and the ones against this change don't get it, or they want to keep (ab)using it in this manner.
For me faction locks cant come soon enough.

Pretty much the only people against alliance locking are flip-floppers and boosters.

I just want to play with my friends, that's it. Some friends have different characters on different alliances, and so do I, but this change prevents me from playing with them. I really couldn't care less who wins, who gets emp, or anything else, and I think most people feel the same.

Not a problem. You'll enjoy the same game play in the non-faction locked campaign.

Well, I'm sure people like that will be deeply, deeply concerned about losing AP when they switch. It will absolutely make him consider his choices, I am sure of it.

We dont troll alliances. We maybe want to play with our friends from other alliances on the only active campaign wich is Vivec....
Maybe we dont like it when our alliance is so dominant that they pushed every other back to their gates. Then we want to help the Underdog.
Also fraction lock wont reduce Trolling. Trolls can just Home Vivec/Sotha for the transmutations at the end, only need reward Tier 1 and can guest the other campaign with every character every alliance they want and still Spy and troll you.
The only thing is that smalscalers now will also camp the gates when their alliance is too strong making it even harder for the other alliances to Recovery. Enjoy this.

Actually I enjoy it when gated and my guild gets on and takes the map back.
Small scalers will farm towers like they always do.

There arent any towers at the gates and when there are no keeps where you can take the Ressource tower your Guild will get farmed at the Gate.
This step makes PvP just more boring for players who dont enjoy the zergplay. For zerglings itself, nothing changed. Spys and trolls will still be there and you dont need to have a char on another fraction to ask a friend whats going on in their zone Chat or where the zergs are moving to.

I didn't say there are towers at the gates did I?
Just try to farm us, good luck.
