100% agree, a few of us even left left raven for gray host since the queue times are way more tolerable there. For me, it's impossible to play in Raven since I usually have a 1h+ queue when I get home from work.

And make it faction locked so we have the same options as in the CP campaign.

TBF Zeni, you kind of owe us this. We pop-locked it every evening during the tests, allowing you the perfect test bed, even when the gameplay was sub par, or straight up atrocious depending on class and skill bar set-up, we still struggled through it regardless.

Friday night I queued for Ravenwatch EU only to be met with queue position 99. seriously, 99!! You could fill a second campaign with that. Plus it allows us somewhere we can play during primetime for those of us that can't stand the lag.

Please do us this favor, we have done plenty of favor's for you recently.

I was queuing on Friday and Saturday night. Joining at 80ish in the queue. I believe that was mainly just EP though as we are winning the campaign and it is almost over. I heard AD were getting in instantly. Earlier in the campaign the queue was very short or non existent.

It was totally unplayable though, until about midnight... I have got in the habit of playing blackreach during primetime. It's a shame the only difference being there is ballgroups on the two busier campaigns... I want to play no cp and I want to help my guild and faction in the campaign we've always played in.

Drop stadia and revert the changes made to accommodate it.
Stop heals of the same type stacking.
Add an individual cooldown on removing negative effects.
Increase population 👍

I see your point. Red has def had more pop the past couple weeks. But I’m queueing right now on yellow for tier 1’s on Alt’s and it started at 40. I also try to organise some casual PvP nights with guildies, and it’s got to a point that if we want to play no-cp we have to expect half an hour or more queue’s. There is def room for a 2nd no-cp Campaign on EU. The fact there isn’t, and players are forced into CP, wether to avoid lag, or just for some casual PvP, is really evidence enough.

I get where you're coming from but I'm going to offer a slightly divergent view here if I may.

While the server's crowded in prime, the recent changes - reducing group size and banning solo players from cross healing - have really impacted the action during the day. It used to be a really good scene with a lot of fun - albeit admittedly fairly casual - pvp happening, minus the lag.

After zos's "behavioural changes," the pug scene just died and then, when they decided only groups should be allowed to cross heal, the solo scene went downhill too. Recently, it's felt like there's not much happening anywhere before 5pm. And then you're virtually into prime, ball groups are everywhere and you can barely move.

I know most players play cyro at prime but quite a few of us can only play during day time hours too. I worry that splitting the server would kill what's left off, and basically make cyrodiil a ghost town outside of a few short hours every day.

I wonder if there's an alternative which might kill two birds with one stone. Everytime I read the pvp forums, I see a host of complaints from the hard core pvper's about things that are unbalanced or unfair or overpowered in cyro. Maybe create an "alternative rules" campaign where they could go and play.

Untouchablehunter put together a list a couple of weeks back:

"Use proc sets
Snipers
Werewolfs
Use mist form
Gankers
Use Mythical items
Ball groups
Trolling tanks
Zergs players
Unkilleable 1vX players
Bombers
Stam necro
Stam warden
Perma cloakers
Bjabs sppammers
Use Light attack builds
Use Heavy attack builds
Dswiing and Executioner sppammers
Pet abusers"

I've no idea how easy it is to have separate rules for different campaigns but, on the plus side, it would be a pretty simple campaign That might make the hard core pvpers happy, take a bunch of people out of the regular campaign and reduce prime time pressure on the servers while not killing the server off during the day....
