I’d really have no gripe if there was a 2nd unlocked noCP campaign.

I think they just need to change the 7 day CP to a 30 day CP and add another 30 day no CP no faction lock campaign and all will be good. This way people who want to play for the campaign scoreboard can play on an alliance in the faction lock servers, and people who want to small scale other small scalers and do guild vs guilds can have really good fights fighting other skilled players instead of just good fights farming bad pugs. For small scales the scoreboard that counts is the emp board since it tracks ap/tick and essentially ranks your groups ability to farm badpugs. This way each server will attract a player focused on the metric they care about, and this should work out fine as long as good players can have good fights fighting other good players and not only when farming badpugs.

I agree, but ye like I said the pvp population is way to low to begin with, so I´m not sure how that is going to work out.

Mh what could be the reason why there is such a little Population which still play pvp? What could it be ... oh wait maybe pve is the only Part in this game which is more or less playable?

Honestly I can´t go complaining about server performance anymore, I don´t even care anymore..

Saw someone in chat the other day complaining they couldn't sell emp runs to other factions anymore because of the lock.

Yes, there's drawbacks to the system, like not being able to play with friends in other factions or having the map dominated by one faction with little chance of comeback.

But if the community wasn't so trolly and doing shady things, this kind of "solution" wouldn't be necessary.

You can thank your fellow players for faction lock. If they would've just played for the alliance they were currently on, instead of sabotaging or spying, this wouldn't be an issue.

Edit: And I'm not seeing why you are "triggered" with faction locking beyond "It's a stupid idea"...maybe include some point why you think it's stupid..

It's not about immersion, it's about players being ***.

Basically I´m just triggered because I can´t play with friends of other alliances anymore, and the characters I lvl´d are basically useless.

You couldn't play with your other alliance mates on the previous system either way. Except if you are one of those who were rigging the rank mechanics in Cyrodiil..... So that makes you a hypocrite yes?

You are only locked to an alliance for one campaign duration, some act like it is permanent.
You can play with your friends on another alliance next campaign cycle.
But yes there should be a locked and unlocked 30 day noCP to be fair.

And that´s the whole point I´m locked for A WHOLE MONTH to one alliance, I mean I´m fine if there was like a 1day limit to faction hopping or whatever but 1month is too much, for me atleast.

And if there was a 1day lock to faction hopping, something like "spying" shouldn´t be happening.

Or just give me the long awaited mercenary faction, that allows you to kill everyone, doesn´t matter which alliance they are.

going through these posts, good lord the majority of people here are hopeless......

the problem was never faction lock....the problem was the MASSIVE ZERGS OF PEOPLE GOING AFTER ONE OBJECTIVE/PLAYER

like honestly how dumb are people

And I don´t even care about the rewards, just let me I don´t know lock my DC characters to the campaign and only let me earn rewards on them.

But let me also play AD and EP, even tho I won´t get any rewards on them or AP.

The problem with this idea is that it does not resolve the problem with the abuses that faction-hopping enables.

Pls just dont say because of spying...

man...so buttblasted......i had to post again

its not faction hoppers that are a problem...they have minimal impact on the campaigns cause they are true ap leechers...

faction lock is there to punish the small handful of legitimate pvp guilds that want to play against other players, they dont care about ap as there are more efficient ways to earn it

anyone defending faction lock or 90% of the EP players on noncp (there are some real pvp players there) needs a freaking lobotomy or an open palm slap to the face

That´s what I´ve been trying to tell people, but I´m not so well versed in the english language, to put it in one sentence without being offensive. So thank you for that !

I really like the new faction lock system, here is why:

Im mostly playing Ebonheart Pact on Sotha EU, on primetime when all factions are locked the DC and AD small and mediumscale groups are annoying or farming us. We have no chance. Since im Portogeese im playing a little bit out of primetime and as soon as the coordinated groups log of Ep is outnumbering everyone else finally. Thats when i play the most, we can take every keep by force bc we are more. Normally EP players would log onto DC and AD chars to start contering us, but finally they cant anymore. So we can take over the map, war is not fair and we have the numbers.

Thanks for the troll btw, made my day.

Well from a solo player perspective (me) faction lock just feels wrong.

So you are a solo player who plays with friends?

Heh.

well sorry solo/smallscale ... but keep nitpicking please

If pointing out two opposing viewpoints is "nitpicking" then you need help.

Good luck with that dichotomy.

Alright let me edit the comment then, so you won´t get triggered by it ever again, and I will keep that in mind the next time I might open up a thread, thanks for the input.

Someone is upset that they can't faction jump when the going gets tough.

You Sir, please be quiet if u haven´t even read the whole thread. Thank you!

Triggered. Really. Triggered?? Please.... faction lock is great and I hope it stays. Pick a faction and play it. Like many people.

Remove wayshrines would be interesting how it would change the money market and stuff. Also housing would be a bit different in that case. I think flying mounts is a minimum if they remove wayshrines.

I like the idea of flying mounts, it's really about time, lot of crowns to be made there.
