Huge population imbalance

Destro outnumbers Order usually 2 to 1, check your logs and read the results of every tier 3 SC that was played this weekend, and if they don't show at least a 90% win rate for destro I would be very surprised. Play Destro, zerg for the win, and Bob's your uncle -you're geared up. It's disappointing, I didn't expect this because I never really saw too much imbalance in the original WAR.

ummm.....no the faction poulation swings from side to side thats how it always is, as for scs that becouse people are waiting the full 2 minutes and stuff before joining so it statrs off 9v5 and the outnumbered side watches all 3 bos takes so tht by the times the popluation evens out the other side has a sigificant point advantage but to claim there is a genereal population imbalance is false, its a time of day thing

I would say overall Destro has a much higher effective fighting force for RvR. The fact destro has 6/7 consistently active rvr guilds, and order has 2 (3 soon since we have a promising new candidate in Fureur&Friends) already shows that.

I wish Bitterstone were back in their prime like they used to be when level cap was 26 ;(

Edit: Typo and disclaimer that anything I typed here applies to EU primetime.

Rvr guilds and all that aside it dosnt change the fact that populations varies from day to day

Some days it's order playing Zerg n Doorhammer the next it could be destro

The ops complaints is about being out numbered in sc's

You refer to the page I made I think http://fplteam.co.uk/RoR/popcharts which I thought stopped working 'cos of the cloudFlare but seems it's working again now. Been left a little neglected last few months but now it's working again I'll see if I can fix it up a bit.

EDIT: actually not working much at all right now. seems to have picked up data from a couple of weeks ago. still I thought cloudflare had prevented this so I'll see if I can get it working again.

Well, the same applies to SC's aswell.

I assumed he mixed up a few things considering he brought up "zerg for the win".

except that there cannot be a population imbalance in scs since in the end it is always 12v12 or in BFP 18v18

the problem is people not choosing to join till the full 2 mins up

so it STARTS imbalanced but it ENDS balanced

Ah so his topic related to SC's only. My bad, misunderstood.
