Unless I am misreading his idea it sounds like it is based around character creation. We need some kind of login queue system that is faction based. The reason I do not propose one is because there is always a work around unless you force log out players as the balance changes. There is not a good fix for this and it was player created unfortunately. War Mode would work but that would be a change from Classic and no idea of the impact it would have on the community. For the Alliance it would obviously be welcomed but for the Horde it would likely destroy their fun. Is that any worse though than what we have now where the Alliance fun is completely destroyed?
I feel since this is a player created problem it really needs to be a player created solution. That solution will likely come in the form of players just rerolling on other servers OR quitting which will condemn the PvP on PvP servers. BGs won’t even fix the issue as the queue times for Horde will be atrocious.
Nah, this is all down to the choice that people made.
If you rolled on a PvP server then came to the forums to complain that PvP happened, you absolutely made the wrong choice and there is NOTHING and NO ONE to blame but yourself.
sorry i made this post when i was really tired last night.
either way population issue being either density or ratio of players per faction , something needs to happen to take the pressure off for some players and that is not just rerolling on a pve server.
Do you seriously think EVERYONE doesn’t know about the problems you perceive on PVP servers? You think the problem is there are too many players in one faction and they gang up on the players in the other faction. It’s quite simple ya know. This sudden increase in PVP activity is because of layering being eliminated and the honor kill system being added.
I imagine over time and with the addition of BGs it will all calm down. If it doesn’t, so what? How many thousands of players are there on your PVP server at any time? How many of that number are camping your flight masters? Do you figure if your server had a 50-50 faction balance, those groups of other faction players wouldn’t still be camping your flight masters? Do you think if you had a more even faction balance, your faction players would come running to your defense? These are real questions, by the way. What makes you think that faction imbalance is the problem? It really isn’t.
Nope. The issue is the content release. When I was playing in vanilla, at this point I wasn’t at 60 yet. Most were not.
3 months after the vanilla launch, most people had no idea how to do damn near ANYTHING in the game.
Now, three months into the classic launch, people have all BiS gear, farming MC, and so on. All dungeons are mapped wtih guides spelling out how to do everything.
If you wanted a guide on where to find any navy blue item in the game, someone out there knows.
Then, blizzard makes dumb moves like releasing honor without BGs. Of course people are rolling around in squads of 5 or more farming honor.
It absolutely amazes me that Blizzard, for every 1 good decision they make, they make 2 equally bad decisions.
Because the Horde also wanted to roll on a pve server. Basically every single Horde that rolled on a dominant server, and wants even more Alliance to leave is a pve player that just wanted to be able to say they’re on a scary pvp server despite there being literally nothing to fear.
You see… the PvP server ruleset has no rules that prevent that.
If you need rules to prevent that, then you need to NOT play on a PvP server.
There really is nothing else to say.
However, I don’t see anything wrong with implementing some solution to balance factions. As long as it is an actual solution and doesn’t just change the problem into something else.
But can you think of a solution that would not just make it so some OTHER player can’t play? Or play with their friends?
If your solution means some OTHER player can’t play then might as well keep it like it is.
Reminds me honestly of private servers. When 15k people are online, the world was saturated, which made every inch of the map a pvp fight and gank fest.
I was so happy when classic was announced because I knew I would get legit PvE servers unlike the Private Server space that had next to zero populated PvE realms.
Now Im loving every second of the game on Pagle. Sorry for yall that never tested PServers to get a glimpse of what this would be like
some say sulfuras is 60/40 horde/alliance. to be honest it feels like 80/20 . there is no “safe” spaces left other than low lvl zones cause of honor farming.
ahh well its a pvp server. just gotta roll with it and hope the population doesnt get any worse.
