Heres a question, Does it really matter what group you pick? as in...do you get differnt gear/stats/buffs or something for choosing a particualr group?

I got tired of the zerg after the first PTS test when everyone chose Nightfall because TFS was on it
Edit: Although the patch notes on the PTS said they were adding a feature where you just chose what faction you were as soon as you queued for Conquest, and you couldn't join certain factions for that game if they were full, so it's essentially a mercenary system that you perform yourself.
To be honest I'm not sure if I like that. I harped all over the RPers who hated the merc system, but that feels different to me than what they're doing with Conquest. I would like to have a faction, but I'd rather have balanced PVP than faction pride I guess. All depends on whether or not Trion can prevent what was happening in the first test.

Similar situation - my guild has a relatively modest number of folks who PvP, maybe 5 or so. Pity, because I think it'd be interesting to try out a larger group with the 1v2 faction possibilities. Dunno, might look to join up with another guild for Conquest Fridays and make that a thing? Are there even good candidates for that on Greybriar?
Then again, we might end up bringing along folks who just want to build up that +3% AP for PvE purposes. Hm, I wonder how that's going to play out. Could make for something of a target rich environment with people who have little idea what they're doing trying to grind out bonuses.
("Which would differ from warfronts how?" Fair enough, rhetorical point from myself.)
If I had something interesting to say, it probably would have been in the post. [4/4 ~ 4/4 ~ 5/5 ~ 80]
Well it looks like we can no longer chose a faction and the factions just act as a "red team" "blue team" and "green team" for the duration of the match.
No more lore
Conquest will be an epic fail just like pvp rifts, wait and see.
I am uncertain that that is a completely accurate parsing of the information that we have been given:Well it looks like we can no longer chose a faction and the factions just act as a "red team" "blue team" and "green team" for the duration of the match.

It does sound like you choose a faction each time, but cannot select one that would imbalance player numbers past a certain extent (and so must wait or select another).

Well aren't you a bundle of sunshine! Conquest doesn't suffer from the same things that make PvP Rifts fail, and that's the population imbalance. At least with Conquest there is is some attempt to balance population.
I don't think so.
