sostronk.8167 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Don't hate the player/s, hate the game. I have been saying since release that they need fluctuating map queues to reduce map caps when the population was lower. It may or may not be the best solution, but it would help alot and it is a solution. As an OCX player I don't like playing on the side that has overwhelmingly larger numbers. So I have become accustomed to solo roaming and being as effective and efficient as I can at that. But it has always made OCX a more valuable timezone than other timezones to have coverage.

However due to ping etc that will never be the case. Me running on 250 ping and still able to dodge blob bombs on time On 250 ping still manages to get to Platinum in PvP If NA and EU merged the ping will be universal for all players, new PvP ranking positions will be made because everybody now has equal ground on pings. If only GW2 has better netcode same as Battlefield Edited September 24, 2021 by Norbe.7630 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldtart.4785 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 If we had NA players that weren't deathly afraid of being in any tier higher than t4 or a link with some more NA players we wouldn't have this problem because our OCX pop doesn't break the game in t1. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sos is very high and was full for a long time. No guild wants to pay to transfer to a expensive server to carry a garbage NA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorem.8104 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 (edited) To be fair, SoS did have NA before they all x-fered off, which led to the pop dropping low enough for it to open combined with the increase in server size. Plus, its easier on SoS, as you know you can play with ocx and have tons of ocx fights for a lot of the night these days, lot of players have come back and we do a lot of pvp all day long on the server. Playing on SoS it feels like these misconceptions started years ago and have been kept even if things have changed. We got hundreds of kills in my last ocx run on SoS. Too many old wvw vets that don't know how to let go of grudges it seems. And with alliances you will want ocx guilds in your alliance, fully stacking 500 Australia players or 500 NA players means you will always lose one side of the coin, every single day.

Reverence.6915 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I moved my guild to SoS many years ago when it was on ‘High’ pop status. Moved off after a couple years due to the toxicity during OCX time with the pugs being anti-fight. The toxic whispers get tiring to deal with Yes, SoS OCX needs to be broken up, but it needs guilds to move there to recruit their players away from the server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrier.8732 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 As Alliances progress, smart alliances will probably look at recruiting guilds [OCX??] that fill a timeslot as part of the "coverage" for that alliance. Surely that would balance the situation out? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stack NA and you have que's then lose everything during offpeak including the players you do have in those times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
