NA Primetime: What is needed more, Order or Destro?

[Dreadspectre]

I realize that the population breakdown fluctuates regularly and that many people just x-realm all night, but which faction do you think actually needs more "main" players?

I do enjoy my WP, however I am a severe altaholic and love plenty of other classes on both sides. There will always be time to finish leveling a character on a different faction, just wondering who(in everyone's opinion) would benefit more from another player?

Order seems to be doing a bit better, probably just because RDPS is so insanely strong right now in PUG/Open and everyone on order seems to love to play SW/BW/Engineer.

It's not total domination or anything, I would just play whatever seems most fun to you class wise.

Heh this is a constant question and the answer always given is: play what you like. The server/realm numbers will fluctuate by hour, day, week, month, tier you're in, whether the day of the month is odd or even, whether it's raining outside, etc.

Na prime gets hit hard is summer bro. Would be nice if there was a way to get the word out about this server. I try playing t3 and basically give up and wait for the weekends.

Here's how you succeed in T3:

1. Invite people into your T3 warband, or join an existing one.
2. Help get the zone started, run supplies, etc.
3. Spam /t3 that you're about to hit the keep in X zone.
4. Spawn a ram. Spam /t3 that you're hitting the keep in X zone.
5. Beat on the door. Spam /t3 that you're beating on said door.
6. Spam that you're on the inner.
7. Profit.

I leveled a SM a month ago and led plenty of mid tier warbands like this. When we were running supplies we'd have 6 people in the zone, and when we get to the lord we'll have a full wb and a handful of solo players around.

Leveling is horrid and like you many just give up usually in t2, a lot of the places I would advertise for the game those people would end up getting banned in about a week for disrespecting a GM or something else.

From my perspective the current team really wants to make t1-3 leveling experience smooth, but that would require a much better than live experience considering even with the population live had the lower tiers where basically tumbleweeds, T3 only gained popularity because the RR80+ patch brought cancerous power gaps and people just hid in T3 before that it was the same as t2.

Essentially I feel like we are being subjected to a work in progress leveling system that is crippling t4 population, alts, and new recruits who would otherwise be playing if not for the grind to t4. Really wish they just brought back Azaraels x3 xp multiplier until they fix everything In the lower tiers and make it the better than live experience that would be worth playing, and of course have the population to support it as this is a PvP game that needs other players to be enjoyable.


I think this is also extremely relevant

Just look at the front page threads...

Leveling in Uthgard is what's horrid. I didn't make it past lvl 2 when you have to go 30 minutes to get your first level. You can literally create a character and enter a scenario in RoR. Maybe I'm biased because I don't have the same mindset of "slow leveling" that many people do.. yeah getting from like 15 to 20 is tough. But once you hit 20: mayhem farm, epic quests, scenarios, and RVR will blast you to 30 (especially if you take advantage of rested xp).
