Happened every morning & evening on PC-EU, so you were lucky I guess.
The exact same people would flip the map Yellow in the morning, and then you'd see them playing EP later in the day, and then again when the map turned red at around midnight.
Funnily enough, the PC-EU 30 Day CP campaign is actually looking pretty good.
AD are lagging behind a little at the moment, but that's probably because half of their faction were actually EP all along when it mattered, and those people have now planted their feet firmly in EP territory for the lock.
yea, still way to early to say anything... i was on a few moments ago, and then AD just had emped, and taken four of the scrolls...0 -

✭People stopped caring about campaign scores 4 years ago because there's no reward for winning, the only reason people faction swap is to play with their friends.
But whatever makes you happy.
This one cares. Khajiit also requests that you cease telling silly little elf stories.
But whatever makes you happy.
Meanwhile this one will enjoy the fact that the traditional purple scrub groups have not only shrunk immensely they are now far far squishier. Not to mention much lower level than usual.
Telel will also continue to laugh at the latest excuses PVdoor lords and zerglings will give as to why they're stacking in such massive numbers. Especially when they could have just gone to the faction flopper enabled campaign if they truly didn't care, and truly didn't need massive numbers to accomplish even the most menial of objectives.Character: Telel

i hated seeing one side win everything, then they all logg out and logg back into the other side and win everything back in one HUGE zerg.

no
i will continue to say the truth, just because you dont agree with me and you have a different belief of what you want to tell does not give me good enough reason to stop telling the truth.
i hated seeing one side win everything, take the whole map, and then they all logg out and logg back in on their alt on the other side and win everything back in one HUGE zerg. and that is exactly what has been happening for YEARS now, its old lame and a cheat and i for one am VERY glad it has come to a stop.
the only reason they are doing it is for an AP cheat to gain MASS AP, its a cheat, plain and simple.

Not taking a stance on faction lock. However, what you said is completely false. At least on Xbox NA. We get people from other factions all the time towards the end of our campaign. They sit at the most active keep doing nothing but trolling chat while they get enough AP for their tier 3. "I'm just here for my tier 3 rewards" is something I see a lot in chat. Then they go back to trolling.
There are much better ways to solve the pvp reward issues than faction lock.

Really like the no picking up scrolls or artifact thing. I was unaware you could even get tier rewards in you non-home campaign. Why would you limit turning in quests tho? That's kind of a harmless somewhat helpful AP boost. Who cares if people turn in quests in some random campaign?II Blinkin II

It's just suggestions you can't get teirs in non homed camps but not letting people interact with scrolls or weapon with the one faction per campaign would be fine I think still let us guest on other factions port inEdited by J18696 on May 22, 2019 8:27PM0 -
THEDKEXPERIENCE✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭This is yet another example about how the console and PC environment is decidedly different. A lot of people in this thread are claiming that things “never happen” which happen every day a lot on XBox NA. People absolutely switch just for rewards for one.
The real big problem with faction swapping is spies/trolls. There are a lot of very good AD and DC players (and I assume EP players) who swap campaigns just to be trolls. These are the type who set up siege just so you can’t.
Fact is even though EP is locked there are only 3 or 4 main PVP guilds these days in EP XBNA. Everyone else is pretty much in the “guild of EP solo players”. There will be almost no adverse effects on EP XBNA because most of the players who make a positive difference for EP only play EP already. If anything it’ll likely force the best DC and AD players into playing for their originally chosen faction balancing the war.
But thats only because what happens on console is, once again, almost completely independent of what happens in the PC universe.3 -

And this really is the core of the issue imho.

24hr cooldown on faction swapping
non placement on leaderboard when pvping outside homed faction
removal of end of campaign rewards when pvping outside homed faction
increased rewards (or decent revamped) for pvping exclusively on homed faction
halving AP gains when pvping outside homed faction

You may believe this, but that doesn’t make it true. I lost track of how many times NA/PC/DC got pushed to their gates by a massive EP zerg, and along comes a certain zerglord right on cue “Hello Vivec people!” to wrangle up a massive DC zerg to flip everything back. It’s the number 2 reason, right behind the horrendous server performance, that I haven’t logged in to PvP in about 2 weeks now. I’m trying to work up the desire to come back and see how things are with faction locks, but it’s too early to judge.1 -

So what’s the issue you rather one alliance be pushed to their gates without anyone pushing back ? That sounds like great pvp too.

What is funny is this comment really lacks meaning since so many players are leveling up their necros and experiencing the new content that the effects of faction lock on Cyrodiil cannot be measured just yet. So the comment is rather baseless at this time.
My guess is OP actually knows this and created this thread just to aggravate players. There was no point to this thread other than to taunt.Edited by idk on May 22, 2019 10:43PM1 -

with the faction locks, we all now have a chance at fair fights instead of a group taking over constantly, and it is working, we see each side pushing fairly right now and real fights.1 -

The problem with faction locks is now one alliance is capable of pushing players to their gates and no one will be able to do anything about it for the majority of a 24 hr time frame.
It rarely remains “fair” eventually there’s always a dominant faction. I highly doubt we see anything just yet because the first week or two is always slower for pvp when dlc drops.

✭✭✭✭✭The most difficult part of adapting to the faction lock will be the players rebelling against it. They were bored anyway, so their new game will be shtting on the map and doing their best to make sure one side dominates.. which has already lead to tats for those tits, it seems.
ZOS underestimated the petulance of its players -- which truly shows how out of touch they are.
