Return of Reckoning

I don't know where you were today but it seems you weren't in praag, cuz there were 4 order warbands and 3-4 destro warbands. And no, I was here before t4, but only didn't play much, especially in a warband. But I know what zones look like, and can paint a pretty clear picture of what's going to happen. As Dabbart said, the server cap was much lower, and you never saw these kind of numbers, don't lie to yourself. For some reason I feel like you have some grudge against me and just want to argue for the sake of it, your tone is a little aggressive.

Seven warbands on one spot is insane, and in over 1.5 year that I've been here, I very rarely saw it. But today I did and it got pretty laggy at some points, don't know about others. And I'm only saying that it will probably look like that in smaller zones, and maybe even worse, if you add another lowbie warband on each side.

Don't get me wrong, I love the idea as I said before, I'm only getting to some facts that we can be aware of beforehand. We will test this in the weeks to come (although I'm not sure how much I can be online as it's an akward moment for me). And devs said we will get multiple zones anyway, so I'm not as concerned as people might think.

What you are talking about Zanilos was prior to last years changes to RvR. When this server had 1300+ online more than one zone was open for capture, so it spread people around to fight.

We will have to wait and see. We have no choice. I just think Collateral is projecting the most obvious events that will be coming. Well... obvious to a few of us. The inexperienced need to see things with their own eyes before gaining the experience, while others already have the experience. Another day and we'll all know.

I love being wrong, even when it feels good to be right.

Epic Dragon Gate battle!
or was it Unicorn Gate?
zone change would be a thing but always wanted to see big actions at there

i dont think it will be this laggy especially in t2-t3 if you want to know what makes you laggy is fight near structure such keep towers.

those are the points where the fps drops more; t2.t3 are mostly open fielded so 7 wb will lag less there than praag, and praag is probably the worst place since is full of structure (individual one).
Also move in/out of pve is easier in t2-t3 which mean you can spread more (look avelorn).

I hink the only problems will be fight in those zones rvr areas whic are cut in 2 such in t2 dwarf, there it really became a hell as anything became a wc to wc push and viceversa.

This is gonna be interesting ..

It's probably going to be a series of week long stalemates.

Unless you spread people across a map, this is exactly what's going to happen.

Now I have read the updates and kinda shocked, I often don't agree with some conclusions/results/fixes but am exhilriated and thankful the team is making these kinds of experiments.
I have to say I like the idea of the Campaign flow, which seems interesting.
I don't agree with some of the concepts of forced zone concentration and such. I would like to help change minds of any in discussion. I guess we can wait till post-release to send more feedback.
thank you all team!!!
