Becoming the emporer of Tamriel

Ok it is widely know that, when you either control all of the forts or are top of the PvP leader board you become the emperor. You receive a perk for this that allows you to become something akin to a world boss I wanted to know you opinions about this.

You hafta both own all three keeps surrounding the Imperial City AND be the top rated player in your campaign. Both. I think it's fair to say we may not see an Emperor for a while after release

I like the idea of having an Emperor, but I can imagine that there'll be one group of people who stay at the top for the whole time

Well those will most likely be the people who live in the game.

Yes the 'no lifers' that get max level in like a week.

If it is like Planetside 2, It could take weeks for one side to conquer the whole land. It normally happens late at night when servers are low. With this mega server though maybe they automatically merge campaigns so that there never will be a time when cyrodill is quite empty.

Apparently the Imperial city is not in at launch, so maybe they will have a time where no one can become emperor, just to get us all used to the game first.

A fine point-the imperial city may be released around 3-4 weeks later as most gamers would have likely got to at least level 30-40.

It is going to be so difficult to get to be Emperor and don't worry every so often a campaign will end and you will be put into a different one with your guild. There will be plenty of chances for good players with a life to become Emperor. I think the idea of ending campaigns and putting you in a new one with different groups is great.

Yes it will be difficult but there will always be these ''no-lifers'' that will max out all content in like a 2 weeks and be the emperor through their amount of time on the game and the fact of they will likely have all the best gear.

Doesn't matter what gear they have or how much they play, a team effort is required to take a whole province, its gonna be very very hard to do, and I would imagine the best team player will get it.

Such as a healer-I agree this would be a great way to show appreciation for the team players that devote themselves to helping the team by buffing or healing or even tanking(maybe not as some people would damage 'farm').

I don't about you, but im reforming my character build based off the information of how the PvP will work. It actually sounds like a good team strategy could be a lot more fun compared to other games.

Yes I'm going tank-healer-warrior hybrid basically I'm gonna be a one man holy trinity or at least try to.

It's not just a perk, it's an entire skill line that only people who have been crowned Emperor get. It gets a super boost when you are actually the current Emperor. Apparently even with all their testing they have yet to crown anyone yet, so it's pretty difficult to accomplish. ^-^

I think that the whole idea is pretty awesome. Never will I ever become Emperor, but just the thought of getting to see one in action on the battlefield... It's like those 'legendary players' they always have in stories about MMOs.

I look forward to seeing who will become emperor.

I'd try for it myself but I'm sure there will be far better players than I, due to my limited experience with MMOs.

Edit: Granted, I hope that the Emperor will be in the Ebonheart Alliance. I can formulate strategies but it will take a team to take Cyrodiil and despite being out on the battlefield myself, I'm sure to be outclassed by someone in performance
