The Imbalance Woes Intensifies Over Transfers

“Uh oh, he pays attention, better tell him he doesn’t pay attention to prove otherwise.”

I mean… you evidently don’t pay attention.

@Ginzo-pagle

Yes, about Alliance having issues about it.

Excuse you. Do I look like an alliance to you?

We’ve been here talking about this stuff since way back.

Massive Server Populations Breaking the Game Faerlina Alliance

From someone who doesn’t actually understand what’s being proposed, you mean. Each faction has a separate population cap (equal to half the total server population cap) and corresponding queue. On a 5000 player server, alliance get 2500 slots and horde get 2500 slots. THE END I don’t get what’s so hard to understand about that.

Solution to Faction Balance

Just create faction specific population caps in addition to the overall server population cap. For example, if the server supports 5000 concurrent players, you can set it up such that each faction has a separate population cap (and corresponding queue) of 2500. Suddenly the horde are in a much longer queue (if there is a queue). You could even make the faction caps larger than half of the total server cap, which allows SOME imbalance, but not unlimited imbalance. Of course all of this could…

Put layering back on Herod pls

To be fair, I actually support faction-specific queues. Maybe the server has a max population of 5000, but when no faction may have more than 3000 players logged in at once. This means when the server is full, there may be no more than a 60/40 imbalance, AND players in the dominant faction are encouraged to take the transfer. I’d also recommend enabling faction switching from dominant to minority faction on select servers.

Others on both sides have argued for similar stuff, but I don’t track anyone else’s activity.
