Describing the Factions in one sentence.

ArchMikem · March 2023

Potentially fun little exercise in revealing the varying Faction identities that have developed over the years based on player experiences. In your words, describe each Faction as a whole on your Server/Camp in a single sentence, (while attempting to not insult them). I'll try to start,

Xbox NA, (Blackreach) I can't speak for the other Camps.

Pact: Disorganized rabble of underdog solo & small group players driven to resist out of spite and heart, constantly on the backfoot yet somehow still winning Camps.
Covenant: An Army of skilled solo players who have found the ability to cooperate in mass though success has corrupted sportsmanship.
Dominion: A collection of the most powerful small groups with an unhealthy obsession with Bleakers and all their farming fury aimed squarely at Red.

WaywardArgonian · March 2023

For PC/EU Gray Host:

Pact: Where abandoning your siege is forbidden by law.
Covenant: Where playing in a ballgroup doesn't mean you should stack with fewer than 40 people.
Dominion: Where the real PVP happens in zone chat.

We all have our quirks.

VaranisArano · March 2023

PC/NA Gray Host, from the perspective of a Pact player

Pact: We don't want Alessia, we just want to paint the front door with our blood.

Covenant: We want Chalman, but we forgot our siege weapons back at Bleakers.

Dominion: We'll defend this bridge farm harder than we will most of our keeps (except Alessia, you can't have that one.)

PACT: 20/20
DC: 3/20

That is way too familiar of how our AD used to be a long while ago, when Bridges used to be the place for two zergs to go at it. I think that died down after they made them destructible.

Jamie_Aubrey · March 2023

DC Zerg but claim AD zerg even when you are solo
EP Zerg but can be killed easily
AD might as well not exist

merpins · March 2023

Done this one before. Here's the lore perspective.

Pact: "I hate all of you, but I hate the other guys more. Let's stop being xenophobic biggots for 5 minutes so we can wage war." - Nords and Dunmer say to the Argonians.

DC: King unites kingdoms for war, and is more cool with vampires than he is with orcs.

AD: Xenophobic elves want the throne, but one less xenophobic elf wants to do with cats instead of using cats.

Tigor · March 2023

They are represented by the three primary colours.

One short sentence. How difficult can it be.

FantasticFreddie · March 2023

Pact: all the numbers, none of the leadership

Covenant: we hate each other almost as much as we hate all you

Dominion: population is at three bars, but everyone is fishing except the 1 ballgroup fighting the ww guild over a random outpost.

I love these, and it's incredible how similar our two Pacts are.

Kaelvorn_Stormrend · March 2023

GH/NA/PS

Pact: We lack guilds & organized groups right now but make up for it in solos handling things. Also, The Chalamo is ours and only ours.

DC: Used to feel like a legitimate threat, now they just kinda do their own thing, fun to fight.

AD: Will bring the server to take a outpost, has potential to be a good alliance but lacks damage due to everyone running a tank or healer.

Ecgberht_confused · April 2023

GH/PC/EU

EP: whole faction goes to zerg a keep. 3 people siege with fire balistas while the others chase a troll tank up the tower, until we all wipe

DC: everyone is a tank. Tower hugging is the only true pvp.

AD: pop bonus all the time while ballgroup is trolling Kings with their own scroll

Tigor · April 2023

DC overpowered
DC tanky
DC annoying

NERF DC !

This always cracks me up. Having played all 3 factions over the years I know that Team Green/Orange/Purple is actually pretty rare and always temporary, but every faction has players that endessly whine about it in zone, even when they've just been at a 3-way battle where the other 2 factions were clearly also fighting each other.

That being said, your comment about AD's PvDoor habit is pretty spot on. They do a pretty good job at keeping DC off-balance a lot of the time having to fall back and defend Rayles or Glademist.

Beaverton · April 2023

PC/NA/GH

AD: Bows are real weapons.

DC: I can't believe you zerged a solo player and the other 40 solo players here.

EP: Who is running this show?

Dem_kitkats1 · April 2023

Doesn't matter the color of your flag, they will chimp mob and slap you with their monkey sticks. All 20 of them.

Wow that sums me up to a T in game, No wonder I only play EP lol.

Dojohoda · July 2023

EP: We're out of pumpkins and ale. Let's take Aleswell farm and Fort Aleswell. You others fighting on the bridge, join us or you don't get any.

DC: Red carpet rolling toward Aleswell. Defend! You others at Nickleback get north right now.

AD: Heyyyy, we are still here, come fight us bro. FINE we'll take all your back keeps.

Twig_Garlicshine · July 2023

One word each suffices.

kiwi_tea · November 2023

PC NA:

EP: "Ok, keep Vlast red. We need 40 people to deathport onto Fare/BM resources the moment there is any action past the Alessia bridge".

DC: "Let's wipe repeatedly in the field towards Nik. That's our plan for the day. Just that. All day."

AD: "Why are there 40 blues/reds camping Vlast when I just came here to earn some Citruses on my PVE toon?"

DaisyRay · November 2023

PC-NA-GH
~~~~~~~~

EP: DC has both of our scrolls, but Alessia is our home keep. Lets zerg it.
DC: Everyone hold hands, we don't go anywhere or do anything with less than ten people.
AD: I could use an oil or fight on the flags with others, but I'm just going to light attack a safe distance from the stairs.

Also AD: Best zone chat in GH, makes up for anything we lack lol ;p

Hilariously accurate!

Lumsdenml · November 2023

PC NA Ravenwatch:

EP: We must fight the yellow zerg
DC: Where is everyone?
AD: Ok, we finally have our group of 75, we can go pvDoor!

kiwi_tea · November 2023

"Ok, we finally have our group of 75"

This definitely sounds more like EP on Ravenwatch, especially during the most recent campaign, but also generally.

EDIT: Scratch that, I'm thinking of Blackreach.
