Haderus population balance (PC NA)

kadar · May 2016

Hello.
So yesterday (last couple days even) I noticed multiple times how balanced the population was in Haderus. 2 bars across the board mid-day, 3 bars across the board at primetime, 2 bars EP/AD and 1 DC around 2am EST. This is drastically better than it has been of late. I know a few smaller EP guilds (and apparently DC) have been on Haderus instead of TF. Maybe some will stay and reduce some of the overpopulation on TF? Who noes, might even help the lag on TF.

My thought looking at the map yesteday: THIS is what the map looks like when there isn't insane imbalance like there has been over the last month(s). In my humble opinion, the action is better, the competition is better, the lag is better, and the game is better when factions don't stack their whole population on one server. Fact is, we need each other, yo. Good fights to be had all around, well done all. May you find glorious battle on the fields of Cyrodiil.

Haderus for sure has become a lot more dynamic and unpredictable compared to when there were only a couple of small EP and DC groups trying to fight against an AD horde.

Which is good.

It was incredibly frustrating to see all of the hard work people put in just for one keep or barely one scroll just disappear within a matter of hours simply because (not that the other side was more skilled) AD outnumbered the other 2 factions 3:1 at all times.

A lot of us definitely appreciated new/familiar people coming to even things out on both DC and EP sides.

However..one of the things I personally do not appreciate with some of the PvP guilds coming to Haderus is the drama/incredibly unfriendly attitude towards their own faction and other players often started by certain individuals who are part of said guilds that promote cooperation and a friendly atmosphere.

Other than that, it's for sure better and could be better.

I had a ton of fun tonight. Things are really looking up on this server.

I wish there was 1 more campaign and they all hit pop-lock at 2-3 bars. 2 bars seem to be the magic number for a balance between action and performance.

Haderus sure looks good now, too bad TF is still 2-3:1 red: yellow/blue for 90% of the day...

True. Step in the right direction, though.

Thats because AD took the initiative TWICE now to spread around campaigns to ease the lag...

I am enjoying Haderus. There is a new villain in town and his name is MegaHEARTburn.

AD was still pop-locked last night on Had and EP and DC weren't. Although I suspect many AD were in the sewers; they didn't seem that strong up top.

I'll be honest with you, I don't think 2bars is enough to bring action on multiple places on the map. 3bars seems more appropriated and still performing well. Yesterday, DR was taking a night off + some other groups and EP was stuck at 2bars for a good part of the evening (until 10:00pm EST) and we were struggling.

Hopefuly people keep playing on Haderus and consider homing there after this Trueflame cycle. We had a blast all week, often going 3bars EP DC max pop AD.

Seems like the EP DK's chaining themselves into keeps had no struggle last night. Most of AD was in sewer groups. Us and one other guild were only ones on top. Good fight last night we should do it again soon.

Are you Mr. MegaHEARTburn? The elf giving everyone indigestion by running around with 20+ worker bee elves and 500 forward camps in inventory?

Pleased to meet you, but any chance I get I come to shatter your kneecaps.

MegaHEARTburn and his swarm, their egregious actions at Ash and Ales.... A terrible swarm of bumble bees with beady little eyes and pointy ears.... One of them, Rex Ryan, with Mark Sanche'z jersey tattooed on him and his argonian foot fetish front and center on his mind.....

You tell MegaHEARTburn to place the name of Scipio high up on that little elf hit list of his. You make sure that gaggle of elves know my name. You make sure that when I fall in combat all 20+ of them violently t-bag me (while Rex Ryan t-bags my feet)....

But at the end of the day the COVENANT will once again prevail against a rabid foaming at the mouth despot and his army. His precious forward camps smoldering cloth on the ground.

*Scipio walks over to antihero's table at Telel's inn in Rawl'kha*
*Antihero smirking after making his little snarky comments*
*Scipio's hand moves toward his waist*
*Antihero jumps up from the table and unsheathes his sword!*
*Scipio doesn't flinch and they both stare at each other*
*Scipio's hand continues and he pulls out a box of PEPCID AC!*
*Scipio eyes still locked on Antihero, he pulls out a sharpie marker*
*Scipio autographs the box of Pepcid AC*
*Scipio slams the box down on the table*

Scipio: You make sure that MegaHEARTburn gets my message....

*Scipio walks away*
*Antihero sheathes his sword and picks up the box*
*Antihero looks at it and then raises his head and looks back at Scipio just as he exits the inn*

You are almost as long winded as @Rylana. We are not insulted or scared.

Yah I think it should be reduced to 3 for sure, and play it out that way for a while.

I was seriously thinking of switching homes to Haderus next cycle, but am afraid there may be a lot of others that will do the same and AD will become to strong there again. Generally I like to go where the pop is most balanced, which has been Had for the last few weeks (at least during the day when I play CST).

I might just wait till the next cycle starts and see how it all looks. 150k AP isn't so much these days.

You don't need to be scared elf. Just know that you and your little buddies can combine all the gear, CP, Gatorade, etc in the world. You won't put SCIPIO away.

3 Bars or Lock pop, what really matters is not having Emperor objectives that funnel everyone to the last keep.

I don't know if you and I speak the same english language. And I don't know anything about any whispers because I sure as hell don't whisper any elves, cats, lizards, and drunks. And doubly, I don't know anything about any macro crap. But that doesn't really matter. Whether it is me or some other soldier that fights under the BLUE BANNER, you, MegaHEARTburn, Mr. Argonian Foot Fetish Rex Ryan, your old emperor with the bad back OMFGPwned (who brutally can't spell owned), are going to get your thin boney elvish a**es sent back to the southern gates!

And don't fool yourselves! I am only the messenger! You have FRIGHT, K Hole, Merciless Doom, Pale Orcc, Sooz, Yoyuyii, Tamerlin, Tisserand, FENGURSH, Ixtyr Falavir, Turgut, Beezley, Cassiah Rae, Pell, Clarie Voyante, ETC, ETC!!!, ETC!!!! All coming for you! And last I checked, for over a day you elves have failed at placing an elf on the throne. Not to mention the COVENANT ahead in score.

You going around looking for a fight you little smug elf? YOU FOUND IT IN SCIPIO!

Wow, you sure were a challenging fight... lol... The sad thing is if you weren't such a loud mouth, you would literally have zero relevance. There is no threat value whatsoever encountering you on the battle-field. I can just look at you, and your tiny little biceps fold faster then a napkin. Such big-talk, you are the clown of Daggerfall.

Doesn't matter how strong he really is on the battlefield. His strength is to RP and I think what he says is pretty hilarious. Each his own. Nice FTC record bro. You are definitely skilled with those stealth moves.

Lol only thing offensive about you is your name. A name where in order for me to even attempt to pronounce it my lips have to start quivering and my tongue twist. You're not even in my league.

Btw, Greek yogurt might really help you. Emphasis on the Greek part.
