Medallion / Devastator Wipe

It's already daylight... He probably already turned to stone
Thanks for the Shadowlands, it was great fun to revisit the old grounds and fight at unicorn again.

So, who bought devastator pieces will lose that? If yes, its a nice solution. But the gap of xp and rr earned by keep farm for destro remains. Yesterday many destro got their chars at 26 rr 30. A bonus of xp and rr for order would decrease this gap.

What about last 3 weeks, when order rolling orvr the same way the destro did during 1! night?

That's horse ****. There has never been a 72% - 28% destro/order imbalance.

There's two options:

1. There has to be a capacity instated that will only allow a certain amount of people to be playing each side.

2. AAO has to do something worth something to combat the zerg. For example, an infinitely scaling stat buff (no 400% cap) until the side fighting the zerg stands a chance. For example, if you are hit by more than 2-3 targets with the AAO buff, you will take -5% damage per person attacking you that scales with no cap.

Reading Aza posts on the initial pages, I may have to agree that a harsh population limit on RvR may be required.

Not every Destro player plays at that time. Giving a server wide buff to one side would hurt those playing at different times of day.

I for one am happy that the wipe happened... as a Destruction player. I was able to get two Devastator items but knew for a fact that the wipe was going to happen because of the idiocity of some of the players in this community to grind for hours on end to get gear that would eventually be wiped. It's not like those players did any PvP to get those emblems... just afking outside the keep for 15 minutes. I think the highlight of that night was seeing Phantomdrake taunting Destro with the eventual wipe of Devastator.

I don't think it would be the end of the world if we make a population cap. If the server has too many Destro on, then you can only make Order toons or play Order characters. Same if it's vise-versa.

Should make sense because chances are the people with Destro as their main would already be logged on while those Order players trying to switch to the winning side wont be able to for ez-mode farming.

So what those of us that only play destro are suppose to do if there are too many destro players on?

Queue?

Seriously, we don't know. We're trying to come up with a solution.

I mean... so you wiped the gear and then didn't make any way to get it afterwards....? Why not just have it cost gold so we can have the gear and be done with it. **** all that grinding nonsense, That's what caused the issue you saw yesterday. Nobody, and I mean nobody is interested in grinding that out, hence the mass exodus to farm it as quickly and efficiently as possible. Just please devs, be smart about this. Make it cost gold. We did all the farming and grinding back in the day on live, at this point we just want to get the gear and play the game we love, simple as that.

The problem are the Join the winning Team players.
RVR was dominated over weeks from order and one day they got smashed and some order player crying like snotlings.
The rest of the story can everybody read in the news

[Nitrous]

lol what? 70% destro > 30% order. Order's count definitely dropped down because Destro was dominating in the first place, once half of Order noticed Devastator Gear & Medallions to get it are a thing, boom. There goes the balance.
