Why would RPers want to move to a non-RP server. Like…do you all not realize how barren it’ll be. – I think Wild Growth has like 5 others using Musician and I’ve seen maybe a ‘raid teams’-worth using TPR3, and most of them don’t have anything beyond the auto-generated ‘race, name’ that is apparently created when you make a new profile.
You’d also be reported for spam…like a lot. From RDF, I know some of ya RPers like to put text/emotes to your abilities.
You’d find no respite on a non-RP realm.
That’s not the reason they’re not messing with Lava Lash.
Most people who rolled RPPVP liked the rules and format of both RP and PVP. However, if most of us had to choose between RP OR PVP, we’d choose PVP because it’s more enticing and largely more applicable to a greater amount of people than RPing is.
RPPVP is more of a balance of both than the extremes of either.
Jesus Christ people, isn’t it obvious?
You don’t need to metagame to RP.
No. That’s why everyone is up in arms about it. If it’s a matter of our population, then why aren’t other lesser populated servers being converted in the same way? CB isn’t as large as others, but it’s more than others.
My guess is Blizz sees CB as “overflow” from CS since it was massively overpopulated at launch (Even if the people on CB rolled there specifically to NOT be on CS with the crowd), and now they don’t see it as necessary any longer.
That’s probably exactly what Blizzard thought; “if they wanted PVP over RP, they would have rolled on a non-RP PVP realm”.
They should just open up transfers to ‘any server in the region’ when they’re looking to close a server. Instead of forcing you to ‘go here’ or ‘go there’.
BUT MY THUNDERCATS THEME SONG! D:
Let us transfer to a server of our choice. I would happily move to Lone Wolf (a balance of PVP and Server Size) if this was opened up as an option. Going to Lava Lash is not going to happen for me and my build, and Crusader Strike is a bit large.
Chaos Bolt or unsub.
Unfortunately this is probably the case, and probably why most folks I know will be going to LL instead of the streamer ghetto.
Then why wait? Shut down SoD entirely tomorrow. There’s no reason not to if, indeed, it’s dying.
I wonder if I transfer to Lava Lash, will Lava Lash be shut down also. By Blizzards logic CB was to small, so transfer to an even smaller server.
Most of us holding on to see what develops. Either they are going to remain silent about it and we’re stuck with our options or they may add other options.
Either way, CB has been sentenced to death regardless of whether we use their own metrics to argue that it wasn’t dying/dead.
The free transfers from Chaos Bolt should have been to every other SoD server from the start tbh. Not just Crusader Strike, and not just Crusader Strike or Lava Lash now.
It’s patently ridiculous that they’re doing a soft shutdown of a server that still had a healthy population and aren’t allowing people to go wherever they want to go within the SoD ecosystem.
I personally don’t believe Chaos Bolt was headed down a good road, nor did I believe it would survive the entirety of Season of Discovery.
But Blizzard’s handling of this whole mess is a black mark on SoD’s otherwise stellar record.
At the end of this they should allow people to transfer off CS who transferred from CB in case the overall CB community goes elsewhere or at the very least to where friends/guildmates may go if they wish to stick with them.
Even if CB was gonna die why pull the plug so early
I’d be less miffed if i could barely buy anything off the AH (not the case) or barely be able to group (not the case, i found a SFK group going for my alt the other day). Then yes a shutdown would make sense. But this does not. The server was still healthy, even if you couldnt get everything on demand as the zoomers want.
Yea, the economy was good and people were active. In terms of activity, I always see someone be like ‘it’s quiet in the mornings’ or ‘I can’t get a raid at 7am’. Ya, that’s because the dichotomy between CS and CB is opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of the type of player on them.
I do think some elements of concerns are a bit more out of proportion than we’d like to admit, but, removing the players behavior from the equation of concern, the fact Blizzard does not reprimand streamers for buying gold and effectively endorses it as well as the servers stability issues are major concerns.
Every time I saw a streamer event that was bogged down by absurd lag or degens aiming to interrupt gameplay or harass I ensured I avoided that element because that’s not organic gameplay like what we have on Chaos Bolt.
The dall off is not just due to people raid logging it started when p2 started and the numbers where not the same.
Chaos Bolt or unsub
