this was already discussed way before the release. We said we wont allow empty instances to be made so you cant get free loot.
This means that zerging on one side will mean some people wont be able to enter as there wont be any opposition for them.
good call... or zerging will get even more out of hand than it currently is
Dev's have to draw a line in the sand somewhere... 200 vs 100 is not fun for pugs... shouldnt be fun for organised either if you are on the heavy pop side...
Play both sides, play underdog and you will get rewarded... zerg and you run the risk of no reward... that seems the best case solution out of all the possible alternatives ... or NA is going to be serverly imbalanced in the future with the rest of world players taking path of least resistance and overstacking a side to victory even more than currently happens.
Maybe if eus wasnt on 3 am coatailing both order and destro
(JOKING!!!)
it'll eventually balance out once people stop staying up 3 am to farm carrots.
tbh destro completely sped push zones just to reach city first so doubt ull be seeing city as early as 3am anymore maybe more 5-6ish.
This outcome has been known forever now zerg won't be given empty instances as loot pinatas maybe while qued should of took reikland and reikwald. You dont physically have to be at city gate once qued.
hahahaha Ive played both sides, i know how it is, i know i was super outnumbered on order one night in two forts and got 0 invader for defending... despite solo tank walling top of ramp in lords for a minute against continous sea of red... and then i've also pug lead in na time and mt'd a couple times... and I see familar names from EU there too and new NA names i got more use too. But i don't make thread about where is my invader like i am entitled when things bug out or you been so outnumbered and wasn't completely ready to milk the contribution, sure frustrated because outnumbered and should of had a reward for doing the right thing but **** happens that is life and part of game...
I expect heavy pushing on campaign from some organised destro guilds... destro has better coverage generally, but if order have enough online they can stop them... but stopping them then they dont get new shiny reward/gear ... so there is alot of "gamesmanship" to be done... like how hard are people going to defend forts compared to previously when it was the end game... and how more frequent are zones going to be thrown or traded... will be interesting to see, its going to happen but on what scale. New gear sometimes brings out a resurgence in order also but don't think they can maintain it vs destro's coverage which ultimately demoralises them as a realm...
In ideal world wouldnt need to play order, but sometimes they need more numbers so instead of kick them when down, you need to close eyes and imagine order tanks look as cool as destro tanks and search for action.
What happens in the first 2 weeks doesnt matter with all the hype and training going on... its 2-3 weeks from now like you say when things die down and should get back to normal, what will that new normal look like, and how badly are loot hunters going to destabilize NA time than it currently is... are they going to continue to all stack destro and gamble for their chance of loot in city? then complain when they are the unlucky ones for chosing that fate.
220-100 is more than primetime EU has gotten recently on some nights...
