Ok, I managed to get them to disrobe me on ea, don't know what the specifics on the chance for them to use that ability are but everything seems to be in order.
The peace times between the 2 shards are similar and appear just fine. They do tend to peace again right after it wears off which is a pain and can make it seem neverending but it's that way on EA as well.
Simply put, no differences between the two shards. All good.
