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.)

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.

xFocused · 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

EP: What are we doing? Where are we going? ALESSIA

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.

EP = Elmos

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.
