LowPop score bonus not for all?

flubber77 · August 2018

Due this campaign from start untill no i have yet seen ad with lowpop score. and both dc and ep get it often. even with just one bar they manage to get it but like now ep has 3 bars and ad/dc have 1 and still dont get the score bonus? is this a reault of the crying EP's who wanted a change for the score system from EP side since they always lost? i dont mind to lose but when its not fair game i do mind.

Yeah it's weird how that low pop bonus comes and goes. Ps4 NA shor our servers have to be dead and getting zerged down and after about 30 mins to an hour low pop is there. Seems to go about hand in hand with being gated. Lol. That's fine more AP. I only ever see low pop on dead server side while the enemy has a bar. Even when the reds or blues lose the one server bar they had we still have the low pop bonus. I think you're alliance has to literally have the least people in the campaign at the moment. But yeah it's a bit confusing on the parameters of how low pop bonus works. Anyone know this...

The low pop bonus is so unpredictable, I don't think it does what ZOS wants it to do. It should encourage people to play when they have a significant disadvantage, which helps bring the population into balance, but when it's not always factoring in during times of that population imbalance what is it really accomplishing other than sometimes you randomly get a bit more AP than normal? The actual population discrepancy seems to have little to do with it.

I'd wondered about that too. I almost think it could be the pop indicator because sometimes it'll show one bar like we're low pop, but feel like a more even fight.

NA PC Shor today, AD and EP were pop-locked while DC had 2 bars, for at least 2 hours, and DC never had low population bonus. I have no idea how this game is supposed to work anymore.
