Abolish permanent factions In cyrodil

tsaescishoeshiner · December 4

I've had to play Cyrodiil way less because of friends or characters being on different campaigns. The more people you want to play with, the more likely you have incompatible alliances. I think it would be quite the redesign to make it so you can hop factions even temporarily, but it would definitely help.

Maybe if you were in Cyrodiil, you could pay AP for a day pass for your friend to join your faction but be locked there for 24 hours? It could have limitations on your Campaign contribution, and only be activatable once per day or account. I don't know how to implement something like this without it being exploitable.

I feel like any idea on this topic would cut into sales for Alliance Change Tokens, so that might make them less interesting to pursue.

How would campaign scoring work?

How would emperorship work?

We can do without.

i dont think ripping up the entire lore of the game is going to work

or even happen.

How does PvDoor fit the lore? How do monochrome maps fit the lore? How do unstoppable ball groups fit the lore?

The faction players are all disappearing, leaving only ball groups. There's a sad irony to faction loyalists quitting the game, doesn't seem very loyal, but it's good they can acknowledge it's just a video game team.

No, stop trying to change Cyrodiil into BG, go play BGs.
Uh, I am a faction player in an organized group, so no faction players haven't left, we just get together to fight the rambos.

The issue with Cyrodiil is simple: it has received just about no love from ZoS since it was launched. When you consider how much growth PvE has seen versus PvP, it's almost criminal.

The concept of Cyrodiil is brilliant. ZoS needs to put some focus into it to bring players back and encourage new players into the zone. Right now the barrier to entry for a newb is high (too high), and vet players are bored of being totally ignored.

Personally, I don't want or need a new dungeon and Battlegrounds is a poor alternative to Cyrodiil. I do want a proper Cyrodiil update, and we should have had it already.

monochrome maps? ive not seen one of those. the maps look very colourful tbh

ball groups are an effect of the combat system. they are easily fixed. For every 1 person you are grouped with, reduce health by 10%. that'll soon stop it

So nobody would be allowed to group up?
Way to kill a game.

Maybe they should require grouping in Cyrodiil, instead of allowing mixed solo/groups if the solos are gonna complain.
Force solos to BGs.
Just as fair, no?

Of course you could group up.

Also as I mentioned, you could allow group queuing, just as long as the population remained balanced. The groups would go into the faction that is lower pop, randomly.

So you don't have the ridiculous things I see later at night, where the pop locked faction also has 2-3 ball groups against the 1-2 bar faction with only randoms.

Some of us have faction loyalty after seeing the shenanigans that go on campaign after campaign. We fight side by side with the same players day in and day out and can rely on them.

The real problem I see right now is the Alliance Change Tokens. The new campaign started up and all the rainbow warriors that were on the winning DC side switched to AD and now they’re dominating the map when I am on. It’s just an AP game for them.
