Does RvR get better for destruction?

[turbochode]

I'm a new player that's been playing for about two weeks. I love it, but I play destruction and I've noticed 90% of the battles in T1 boil down to being spawn camped by order with 3:1 numbers in their favor. Every game. You can't skirmish, you can't try and push a different objective; you walk out of spawn and get mauled by a massive order blob standing right outside your spawn gate. It's borderline unplayable, and certainly isn't enjoyable at all.

Does the population balance out in highter tier RvR, or is being an NPC that exists to be slaughtered all I have to look forward to as a destruction player?

It changes with time, realm population has its ups and downs even within a day several times. In T1 and higher tiers too.

As someone who had played mostly destro and a bit of order.

I think in the last year order rvr is more fun and organized. But I like the look and feel of destro more.

Not really, there are times when dest has more than order, depending on time zone,
However, if you look the map as far as who has locked all zone in T2, T3, and T4 for each pairing, It is mostly order.

As a dest player, you will rarely win a fort, as far as capturing it, to lock a pairing. there are times you will defend the fort and prevent order capturing it, but even that isn`t as common these days,

If you decide later when you are 40 lvl to try and do a city fight, you will rarely ever invade the order city Altdof, normally order invades IC 2 times a week, for 3 weeks or more out of every month.

If RvR is heavily outnumbered, scenarios are also a great way to level, especially in T1 and mid-tiers. These are almost always even fights and I've always enjoyed jumping into the solo queues on new chars. Time of day may result in more or fewer pops, depending.

In level 16+ RvR, population shifts pretty consistently in favor of both sides, so there's no one realm dominating constantly.

Also, highly recommend finding a guild to join up with! This will make a world of difference, and Destro has a lot of good options to pick from that are happy to teach newer players.

NA times is rough for Dest. Best you can hope for is that after Order mains get their fort or two, they switch to their Deat alts.. then the numbers get a bit more even. EU times its a bit more balanced and bigger numbers too. Much fun to be had in EU times.

It depends on the time of day during which you play, as well. Some timezones are more order dominated, some are more destro. It really depends.
