Playtime and Faction

[Wattser]

Hey all, need some help with my faction choice. I love the esthetics of Destro but trying to play is brutal. Almost every keep siege is a stalemate or loss and seems like every SC is a loss. I know...get oranagized...do premade etc. When I tried some Order, SC pugs were more wins with more wins with keeps as well. also maybe I got lucky with some nice people who helped with dungeon runs. I'm between my SM/Engi and DoK/rSH. Now, outside of that, I primary play at 11a-5p EST a couple weekdays and some weekends. I was wondering what the faction balance is like at those times. I heard Order Is stronger during EU and its close to equal during NA primetimes.

Balance is almost wholly dependent on what side which warband forms on. You will eventually see really atrocious cases of farming on both sides. Order indeed wins most sieges, but is also more prone to getting stomped in open field. Pick your poison.

Order indeed wins most sieges

City siege timer does prove that, but, since NA order wins a lot of sieges against almost nonexistant NA destro, i doubt that EU destro is weaker than EU order.

Doesn't matter which side you play, just who you play it with. Join a guild put in hours needed to earn your stripes and gear.

No true. Right now Order is being owned for weeks already. Just a small part of the day Order has some power to push anything. Mostly of the time we have stalemate or Destro zerg pushing zones.
Order is having lack of wbs, commanders and lack of high level chars in the rvr lake. While destro has mostly 70+ wbs, premades roaming and etc.

It depends really, if you are a EU player then you are ok with either faction, as they are pretty even as far as numbers on EU time.

If you play on NA time, for the most part around 600pm est the numbers are not bad, however by 800pm est dest numbers drop and order locks empty zones most of the night.

for the most part the only time forts are taken by order is late at night around 10pm or later and mostly no dest to fight. If one looks at the campaign status on map, it will show like 7 or 8 fort wins for the week to 1 or 2 for deist.

While the numbers may be correct, it is just order taking undefended forts to always attack IC every week, most of the time you will see order attacking a fort late at night with 80 players vs 15 dest players or less.

As an order player I log off when dest does, as the only time worth playing is when semi even numbers are on, so mostly on the weekends, no reason to play a RvR game just to PVE keeps, and Forts, better to log off, or play another game, it`s mostly why I rarely play anymore.
