I'm worried if all the focus goes in to breaking down the sizes of groups then pvp will lose something that makes it so special.. but it doesn't seem like people want to think beyond the immediate issue and so the cycle of problem solution problem is destined to continue.
TLDR; As far as i'm concerned the zerg problem is itself a symptom.
A lot of the population imbalance revolves around the fact that players quit due to the lag, which was caused by the zergs.
**Also the lighting patch of 2014 RIP half the PvP population!
sounds like the formula for success then is to first fix lag, then correct pop imbalance then adjust the controls to balance zerging.

Yeah, it would be awesome if they could fix they lag =/ that would be ideal.
But again, in my post this whole conversation came about due to the current limitations and the inability for the game to handle Zergs in it's current state.
You are right though. I just don't know if it's something they can fix or know how to.Edited by Perphection on June 19, 2015 4:05AM0 -
PeggymoeXD✭✭✭✭I don't disagree with this at all, but on top of the AoE caps being tweaked for breaking up zergs, purge needs to be nerfed greatly. I actually miss the days when people spamming it had a chance of killing me.Kitty DK

✭✭✭I agree, get rid of purge. I just want to sit on my siege and one shot people. It's too hard for me to set up another siege and fire it or, god forbid, go down off the wall and snipe them with my bow. Also, can we please get a rapid fire ballista? I need to be able to just hold down the mouse button and nuke everyone.
Agreed. One-hit kills are preferable... I should not ever have to do anything but auto-run towards a keep to win!-First-Wave Closed Beta Tester of the Psijic Order, aka the 0.016 percent.
Exploits suck. Don't blame just the game, blame the players abusing them!
