Join the new Vengeance Alliance War campaign and help us test changes and collect data that could inform future improvements to the game.
Put Cyrodiil to the Test
Part of the ongoing effort to improve performance and stability in ESO’s open-world PvP experience, Cyrodill Champions has now found its way to the PC/Mac live servers with the Vengeance campaign.
This test Alliance War campaign is now live until the morning of March 31 (during scheduled maintenance). Note that during this time, this will be the ONLY Alliance War campaign available for PC/Mac players.
If you’d like to help us test changes to Cyrodiil and its open-world combat, you can do so by following the process below:

Vengeance Campaign
The Vengeance campaign is open to all players level 10-50 and introduces a special ruleset to the Alliance War, templatizing player builds to help improve stability.
- All players have normalized stats regardless of level[/*]
- Each Class has a modified set of abilities and items[/*]
- While in Vengeance, you cannot change your class[/*]
- While in Vengeance, you cannot access your bank, vendors, or crafting nodes[/*]
- Only Experience Points, Alliance Points, gold, and Champion Points are retained upon leaving the campaign, and no items can be taken out[/*]
- The Champion System is disabled in this campaign [/*]
- All quests are disabled in this campaign [/*]
Upon entering the campaign, your character is changed to match a specific template for their class. As mentioned above, this includes pre-determined abilities, attributes, consumables, and item sets. It also includes a backpack of supplies that cannot be removed from the campaign.
Note that the templatizing of characters is an experiment and does not necessarily mean that these changes will be made to the Alliance War in the future. By introducing templatized characters for this specific test, we can isolate the variables that impact performance, helping us plan future improvements.
For more, check out this Vengeance Campaign Q&A on the official forums.
Not only does this campaign help test Cyrodiil’s performance while under specific conditions, but it also allows you to battle your fellow players on a completely even playing field. No matter your experience level or items, everybody who enters the Vengeance campaign is at the same power level—leaving only your skill to determine the victor!
