What group is this?

Yes, I too would like to know the name of this infamous DC group who lags the server. Is this on PCNA? I have seen no such thing.

Or you know, its mayhem, give it to EVERYBODY!!!!


I am not going to lie though, zone chat is pretty hilarious. All these tin foil hat conspiracy theorists acting like AD or DC are doing something to force this, and then all of a sudden, EP has it, and its like GO GO GO. Haha

That said, AD does seem to have it he most in the last week... *Searches for tin foil hat*

Working as intended, right Devs? So frustrating to fight for 30 days only to lose because of an exploit, with absolutely no response or acknowledgement from the developers.

But don't worry, we are getting a card game.

Has anyone ever gotten anything out of the devs By saying "Right Now! /footstamp

Asking for a freind.

If it can't be fixed by now should just do away with it.

Low pop bonus should just be removed. It doesn't even remotely work as intended. It can easily be exploited, and every faction has used it to their benefit at one time or another. With server populations as they are, a single, loosely organized group of players, (ie. a guild), can trigger the low pop exploit themselves......

We can go on and on listing the problems with low pop bonus. If it can be done, just get rid of it.

I only saw it clearly once, in Blackreach at Ash mine. Everything had been working normally had had a number of good fights with no lag, we had just taken the resource, and suddenly we hit massive lag, couldn't move, couldn't mount. Maybe ten seconds later a group of around ten DC came into frame and just swarmed over us. We couldn't move, but they didn't seem to affected. Instant wipe of our group of 12. I don't know who they were.

I play Xbox x na on AD and I've had this(and similar issues) happen mostly with dc, but I don't think it's because of any skill(I could be wrong) but exploits like that tend to spread. We just get swarmed by the zerg and the servers can't handle it. They might have just had 10 or so come wipe you and have the other 8'000 players that dc seems to have standing back. Watching. Savoring the suffering.

Good luck with that, I even tried posting a nice non-judgmental bug report in the Bug Report forum, crickets there as well. They apparently don't consider anything PVP related game breaking, not even the currency being duped because of some bug, an exploit, or a combination of the two.

I've been following low pop bonus a little bit the last few days levvelling one of my toons up. The system is pretty borked, not least because the time delay and the fact that people talk in guilds etc means that the low pop bonus faction is often the biggest. A coupel of times the server I was on got low pop and suddenly there was an enormous zerg. Though to be fair, it's sort of working as intended then - it does encourage people to log in.

That said, it obviously completely trashes the scores. And appears to be suspectible to manuplation. You df don't seem to count towards server bars when in a delve. I wonder though if the solution is simply to remove low pop bonus from the alliance scores but leave it was be for individual Ap gain. I mean, i suspect peopel don't know what the score is yet alone care about it, but if they do, it seems to upset them.
