GW 5 Balance Issues
« on: April 05, 2005, 04:57:31 pm »
Well it's way unbalanced.  I wanted to see how Monday and Tuesday went to see if the weekday Alliance numebrs would pick up.   They haven't.   Too many have left for other games.

I'm not sure what to do but if this is all that is left of the D2 player base . . . and given it's uneven split in camps . . . we may be done here folks.

Ideas?

Not that I'm all confused but really?

I thought the coalition actually picked up a player or two..

Yes.   SGO4 was a horrible, un-fun, frustrating server that burnt a lot of people out.

They may return, we'll see.   Maybe a more open, less-ruled server will get more people to try it out.

At least I feel better about the dozens and dozens of PM and posts I made trying to drum up support for the Coalition for a month before the campaign even started. After being outnumbered on both GW 4 and SGO4, I'm damned glad to see the numbers we have.
Funny, while we were getting steamrolled on SGO4 and overrun on GW 4, I didn't hear any talk of "I think we may be done".  :-\

Yes mainly from PBR. You can thank FPF, GDA and SoV for that.

LOL...a 3 VC margine on GW4 is steamrolled? It seemed on SGO4 it was unknown who was in the lead until Dizzy posted the PvP VCs.

Personnelly, I ain't that worried about the numbers on GW5. I just don't care who wins the "campaign". I want a venue for PvP, unfortunately it has been difficult to find an even close PvP matchup the last couple of days given the numbers disparity. Might just be bad luck on my part getting jumped by 3 Roms everytime, as I have heard others on TS get in some pretty good PvP battles. I seemed to have been having better luck on opening day.

You should be applauded for the best job of pimp'n I've seen for a long time.

Nobody is saying "I think we may be done."   That's the problem, nobody is saying ANYTHING.

THis is a shame, GW5 has been a BLAST, I've not had this much fun playing D2 in a long time.  Those who aren't playing really are missing out.

 :o  ok u must be joking right?

1st SGO4 server had double amount of people signed up from what GW5 has till now.

2nd At the time the SGO4 server wasup GSA had only 1 room with 2 people playing UAW as 70% of the league players were playing at SGO4server

3rd The fact that so many pvp took place at the SGO4 server many league players changed their mind about dynaverse(as there was a rumour that there they just fight AI all the time).

4rth If  SGO4 was a horrible, un-fun, frustrating server the number of the players who played there wouldnt be increased during the server time.

The only people who should complain about SGO4 should be the ISC side as for 1/3 of the server time we couldnt play pvp matches.
However i beleive most of us had fun.
