Return of Reckoning

No comments about t3 population.

10.95+4.90=16 order players
4.05+44.10=48 destro players
16/48=1/3.
Destro fields three times as many players as order.
Looks like a normal day in a two faction game.^^

You're forgetting that T2 & T3 are now part of the same mix and that for short periods we do get mass bouts of x-realming.

Cos crushed moral and reward lust.


Order might be hitting a T2 zone while Destro might be hitting a T3 zone.

moving this thread as I fail to see any suggestion or real feedback here

the renown train goes one way

95% of people playing t3 are probably just alts, and many people have alts on both sides so they just join the train ride for easy renown.
it's just not worth bothering to start playing against insane AAO in t3, when finding group or wb can be quite impossible during off-hours, unless you ride the zerg.

^they aren't getting jack for zerging tho, I bet you get more XP and almost the same RR killing 10 boars in PvE than you do taking an entire undefended zone.

@Natherul: My apologies for posting this thread in the wrong section! I was a bit tired and did not look very carefully the categories available!

t2 bracket includes players from 12 - 15 who are in t1. This is why there are still some remaining xD

@Dresten: Order might be hitting a T2 zone while Destro might be hitting a T3 zone. <--- This is no longer possible afaik!

I was getting tons of XP/RP roaming with 300AAO or more (pic 1). My point is that this zerging and empty zone locking should stop. I heard that long ago, one night in t2 people farmed devastator gear and devs deleted all these items the next day. The reason is that pop balance was total zerg vs empty keeps. It is ok if you run a dps class and gank people. But what if you play healer or a defensive tank (pic 2)?

A very good step for this was the scen bracket rework. I was getting many many pops!! But this was just one step!

@Jaycub: Yeah actually taking empty zones makes people bored of the game and leaving. It is not healthy for many reasons. Rewards etc are one part. Fun factor is another, and a game should do everything to provide a steady fun factor. Zerging and waithammer do not!

Get into a group or even just a duo with another person and/or respec for dps?

Come on, players have to show some initative and not have everything done in for them.

well sometimes destru overpop sometimes order overpop ;D i everytime wait for order overpop cause NICE farming ;D

What do you expect? How would you suggest we go about alleviating the population crisis?
