Question for the devs I would really like to see the answer to

[marafado]

Sorry but right now with the campaign system that we actually have we need a umbalanced population...and we need xrealmers who join the winner side to push campaign to forts => city.

It is what it is....its fun fight vs equal numbers, but at the end of the day you need some progression.

Really its a system/game issue bot a players issue

this
forget the xrealmer power rangers that change factions 3 times a day for the famous "aoe, good fights, balance and all other ****", they like to sell here in forum.

Well no matter how much you half afking PvDoor zerglins whine about xrealmers ruining your 1 healer pugband siege, I'll enjoy farming you day in and out )

Good afternoon fellow warhammer gamers and most especially the dev team that keep this wonderful game running. Thank you very very much for all your efforts.

I have recently had some time off work and been able to spend a fair bit longer on the game than I would usually have time to and I wonder if the devs are aware of the following things that happen every day that you play:

1. Major big guilds doing organised cross realm swaps which ruin normal players efforts at taking a zone and getting bag rewards when they have often been fighting hours in a zone
2. Cross realming Players who purposely take rams to destroy them so one side is unable to be able to attack a zone
3. Cross realming Players who spawn rams and attack keeps when they have set up opposing side warbands to farm the attacking players (this is often apparent which it is because no cannons are taken... )
4. The big guilds who cross realm with such apparent impunity from any action by the development team mean that all the other players can do is then cross realm or otherwise they get no reward for the zone,
which makes the problem even worse as every player then swaps over.
5. Warhammer is at its best when there is someone to fight on equal numbers. Letting big guilds have free rein to adjust the population balance is just going to make the game constantly less fun to play.

This would never have happened on live, the accounts would have been banned. If you want this game to flourish and be enjoyed as intended I hope you will take some serious action to resolve these issues.

It has become so blatant that it is mentioned openly in region and t4 chat.

I look forward to your replies and hope that a solution can be found.

Most of all, everyone take care and keep safe.

This is so ridiculously inaccurate it makes my eyes bleed. These accusations by someone who is influenced by the random /5 chat just brings toxicity into this game. I truly believe you are getting farmed by these larger guilds and this is a rant but it is so missleading to new players.

- Post a pic and proof right now of someone loggin onto another side, grabbing a ram and purposely destroying it or taking it for it to not fulfill its purpose, I dare you. At least be able to name the player or take a screen pic of where the ram is on the map as it is now visible. Im quite sure the Devs will take immediate actions.

- You are saying that organized guilds "prepare a pug warband on one faction" and then this organized guild all switch sides and farm that pug warband? And it seems, by you, that this is often apparent? Ive been playing this game for over a year now and have never come across this The level of organization you are describing here for a pug warband is outstanding and you say these pug warbands "want" to be farmed?

- If you had enough hours played in this game, you would realize that the few larger guilds that do switch sides always do or try to switch to the side with "less population" as it is very rewarding in terms of AAO and much more challenging. Sometimes they guess wrong or coincide with a guild event of another organized warband setting up soon after they moved over and could make their intentions seem diferent, but it is the only goal. If these guilds didn´t switch sides to try and balance out the population during certain days/hours, it would be one faction just steamrolling the other, so maybe try and appreciate the effort instead of such an inaccurate and offensive post of fake accusations.

- There is already a long lock out after switching factions so players can not constantly switch to and from sides. One switch is definetly needed to keep the balance.

Secondly I dont play alone - I play the game with my wife at the same time and she has been playing as long as I have. We are both quite capable of observing whats happening in the game without having to believe what we see in /1 or /t4 or whatever. Also other players in this thread have quoted as seeing the same thing happen.

Third We both have seen these things happening, so its not just a delusion that I may have been having.

Like I said before, if its not a delusion and you (and your wife) keep seeing this happen over and over these last 3 months , it should not be difficult to take screen pisc and post with names AKA FACTS. Or, if you dont want conflicts with anyone, send directly to the devs who Im quite sure will take immediate action on the matter. If not, its just gibberish and wild accusations.

What "effort" are you even talking about lmao
You mean afking in front of an empty keep hoping that nobody gets there in time to farm you?

A couple of days ago the warband I was with changed sides 3times in a single day.
We started as order since order had 60+ aao in the most populated zone (emp t3)
We were the only organized warband on order side while destro was running 2 organized pugs.
After farming them for a couple of hours and stopping their siege effort destro started leaving the lakes and order numbers shot up with more organized groups showing up (some guys 12man and Tsuburn started forming up about at that moment)
We switched to destro and started fighting the order wbs across Avelorn and TM.
After fighting a couple of hours, getting a jump on some of the wbs in the open and flanking the order siege zerg twice with 40% aao, order started to leave the lakes and destro zerged started to fire up.
And thats when we switched back to order for a few more hours.

How is this not healthy for the game, if you want to take zones, make a warband, organize yourself and push. We do it for the fights, not the bags or zone flips or city pushes, the fights.

But I guess it's easier for you zerglings just to afk farm empty zones and then cry the moment something rolls over you.

I agree with your sentiment and hear this explanation a lot from several vocal xrealmers. However if this were truly the case for all of you that play both sides we would never see much beyond a 20% AAO during a peak, let alone the server pop which can swing by 10% or more when what OP is talking about is going on. YOU might be out for the fight but most players who do this are not.
