Zone Swapping ---- again

[CountTalabecland]

Got a purp bag for popping over to Eataine briefly to ruin a destro siege on our keep, then left and went back to Praag, took 15 min. Went back to Praag and didn't get a bag with a total of 2-3 hours in zone. Praag was definitely the most populated zone over that time period. No idea what happened later in Eataine after I logged.

I think this shows that intervening on ppl trying to PvDoor can be rewarding, or at least that you should try to fight weak sieges in as many zones as possible rather than start Pvdoor sieges for garbage loot?

Me and my guildies will zone swap with the intention of looking for smaller fights. There is nothing fun about being forced into zergy lakes. We've taken zones, got no bags when there were no opposition, got bags when there was an equal amount of opposition - sounds fair.

Not everyone wants to be crammed like sardines into one zone, hence why we have more than one zone open. Sure, you'll get the people deliberately avoiding conflict, but I think there's a difference between going out of your way to avoid a proper, fair fight, and avoiding the zerg.

This.

Unfortunately at the momemnt the game is plain unplayable when there's 300-400 people in the same zone, with 3-5s delay on skill usage. I am going to switch zone, play scenarios or play a different game, but I am not going to be in the zone where the game is unplayable, that's for sure.

Thanks to the person who thought about the current RvR system and having multiple zones open at the same time.

We had 180 vs 180 in Praag before. And it wasn't that laggy like today.

I don't actually understand how it works. I put my trust in the devs and their ability to make the game stable. My point is the correlation between high population in a zone and lag is pretty damn high right now, high enough for me to infer that seeking smaller scale action in other zones is going to result in a more enjoyable experience for myself.

Agreed. Hope with the reward changes that people will split up and go to different zones rather than all zerging in one zone. Will lead to more small scale action:)

I remember 300v300 in CW and it wasn't as bad as Praag today. Its somehow related to keep shaite, orvr is less worse even with considerably larger numbers.
Maybe the game starts overcalculating collision with Walls vs Players vs Player instead of orvr Player vs Player collision?

game is nowhere to the live server evening populations yet current lagfest makes it borderline broken to play. (not that live was flawless either)

today's praag keep defence reminded me first months of Gw2 when good guilds like Red Guards were able to break system. They had been creating so huge initial dmg spike that new unstable game system was laging completly and had stoped calculate any kind of actions from enemy side before they died.

if you attack an empty keep/zone and take it, it says no rewards for taking empty stuff. this works, can confirm
