Return of Reckoning

I wrote about this weeks ago. The SC system is dying. They don't care.

The idea that you can have "balanced" scenarios that force heal/tank/dps without checking gear and some kind of MMR system is beyond dumb.

Because the sc's are taking longer to pop interest is going down the toilet.

They nerfed purple bags is all where madcap = 200 purp frag ~20g value, now is blue rarity and you will get more taking the gemstones (10g).

They also retroactively nerfed bags which is dumb. I had probably 60+ bags in the bank (purples) that I would just salvage as I needed the fragment. They all ...

Let me know if you ever see that many ppl online in one guild around here. There are no NA players in BT, apparently excluding me, and 80% of those 460 are dead alts. So no, I can't find anyone.

Also, being in a guild doesn't make much of a difference if the playerbase overall can't find ...

NA has plenty of the standard ORvR meta, albeit less blobby than EU prime time and to me that is a good thing. There is a population for scens but it was previously ruined by pug farming and is now ruined by excessive Q times. However, devs are working on it so that is good.

But now you really need a carrot to make people queueing.

I thought the carrot was "a balanced sc where you now have a tank and healer on every team". Was that not enough!?

When you have no intention of changing anything (or rolling back awful changes) why would it matter?

I disagree with OP.

The queue is now after the fine tuning working really well. The match-ups and rounds are better than before.

I like that they have soften the 2/2/2 requirements and that there are now pops with like 1 tank, 4 dps and 1 healer possible. Since the other side is getting the same ...

Anytime after EU prime is dead.

NA had 3 pops in T3 last night between 6pm and 12am EST? T4 had 11?

For reference you could do 20+ easily before in this same time window.

And just because the classes are balanced doesn't mean the gear/skill is so it doesn't really make a difference outside of ...

The new system is going the way of ranked. And I don't think it's because some random premade can't farm pugs for a few hours every night either. Who is going to wait 45-60mins for a sc to pop on the weekend?

The archetype requirement is breaking queue times. Did it suck to have no healer when the ...
