Joining PS4 NA servers. Current faction balance?
Chelister
✭✭✭
Just made a fresh new PSN and ESO account and looking to join the NA servers on PS4. What is the faction balance like? And is there anything I need to know beforehand?

AuraStorm43✭✭✭✭✭EP is usually dominant due to having a night crew, 2nd place flip flops between AD and DC
Its not really “balanced” whomever stacks more people overnight winsEdited by AuraStorm43 on October 31, 2021 11:37PM1 -

✭✭✭✭✭EP has had steady pop dominance for a few months now...
because of faction lock I no longer cross faction, so not sure how accurate this perspective is:
DC has the best farmers and most solo players, AD generally has the nicest group of people, EP are normally a tight bunch who focus on map play...
prior to EP's current dominance, DC was painting the map blue...
during the week I normally play late night west coast time and the fights are normally pretty even...PVP Campaigns Section: Playstation NA and EU (Gray Host) - This Must be the Place0 -

✭✭I assume you’re talking about Gray Host?
New campaign starts tomorrow sometime I think. We’ll see how many players have faction change tokens then I guess.
New campaigns start off with a bang but typically EP keeps zerging 24/7 until players in other factions start giving up and quit queueing up. As the campaign goes on my ranking keeps moving up despite playing the same number of hours each day, lol.

And it makes it frustrating to play, honestly they need to add deterents to prevent overnight zerging0 -

the whole concept of "overnight" is inaccurate with a global player base - hmmmmmm, maybe - "not primetime playtime"
the thought of limiting opportunities for people to play just because their alliance has more participants than the other two (combined in many cases) isn't really practical...
the low pop bonus needs to be consistent and functional...
maybe do something with the guard's strength, based on alliance pop...make it extremely difficult for an alliance with a crazy advantage in numbers to paint the whole map a single color...
even if your alliance does receive the hammer, if you're seriously outnumbered you can't even bring it out the gate...
cyrodiil needs some new rule sets to address the player population imbalances...Edited by geonsocal on November 2, 2021 2:24AMPVP Campaigns Section: Playstation NA and EU (Gray Host) - This Must be the Place0 -

EP stays on until there is no way for DC or AD to win the campaign. They take all the scrolls, emp, most of the keeps and outpost and than AD and DC play the rest of the campaign battling each other for 2nd place.0 -

I’m not advocating for them not being to play i have some aussie guild mates, i’m advocating for something to discourage nightime zerg stacking
Something as simple as triggering low pop more frequently in off hours or resetting the map every day would go a long way i think1 -
AuraNebula✭✭✭✭✭If you want to faction stack join EP
If you want smaller faction stacks and taking resources join DC
If you're a solo then join AD they dont group.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭@AuraStorm43 I agree with you...
i mean, if your in there day in, day out, for years on end now - you know...
cyrodiil isn't always such a great situation...
my solution, I have 10 cp1300 toons on the NA server and 7 cp1100 toons on the EU...they're all built for pvp...I've always played the "main" map...
usually when one server is dead, the other is still active...
I don't know, maybe more frequent mayhem events will help...the game has definitely shifted away from having a primary, secondary, tertiary, etc. focus on pvp activities...
to drum up the "noise" on eso pvp, zos introduces 3 pvp sets, one of which is obviously waaaaay overtuned...Edited by geonsocal on November 2, 2021 2:38AMPVP Campaigns Section: Playstation NA and EU (Gray Host) - This Must be the Place0
