So with the new population cap DC is doing much better.

Anyone got any ideas why?

    No off-hour capping due to massive population imbalances?

    Wait when did they change this cap? I keep seeing things about it and i must have missed an official post somewhere.

    No official post (did you honestly expect one?). Pure speculation from population bars and players viewing maps/zerg sizes.

    Fairly obvious when EP goes to full pop at 2 in the afternoon - they changed the population cap. DC was at 3 bars at 3 PM as well so there was definitely a shift in the cap.

    The issue of Lag was probably the reason why. I imagine they upped the population cap by accident when craglorn was released. At least - that's my personal speculation. Lag in Wabba has been very good - was last night anyway. All three factions were locked during prime time last night and we saw little if any major lag spikes. A few - but nothing to make the game unplayable. The cap being increased by accident may also show why all the population bars across all the campaigns were at low - except Wabba which during prime time maybe climbed to medium for all three.

    Wabba was horrific again tonight (it was pop locked). Well actually for the first bit it was fine, then the lag monster came online or something. Then 30s delay, followed by teleports, more delays, etc. I gave up.

    Lol, maybe the population change is actually because they removed Mercs?
    And it inspired everybody to ram themselves into campaigns.

    They clearly ninja upped the cap then dropped it after failing to make it work(with out a word to the public making scores of people unsub.).. maybe in pre planing to LET US HOPE drop some useless campaigns.. and REMOVE guesting... (f**k you ship jumpers)

    PS. Remove guesting , remove more then 1/2 the campaigns, Fix the lag. Save your game. :|

    I like how DC and AD don't start fighting each other until EP has less than 3 keeps. It's happened every day now. AD even lets DC keep AD's scroll lol

    When both factions are always pushing east it's not hard to win. Logic please come back from the window.

    There's definitely a big conspiracy going on. I think it might be aliens.

    I like how the stopping point for the AD and DC fighting is right around Nikel. I guess looking at the map is hard

    Also, AD hasn't sent most of its forces after its scroll in DC possession. Aliens indeed

    Have some good group leaders left? Before the patch two days ago I could get in a group quickly. Now I can't find a group at all and end up going to look for sky shards or something.

    Looks like they are really aiming right at those first two highlighted points. Guesting will be less frequent and half the campaigns are going away (more than half if you're VR as you'll be locked out of one).

    Lag was horrible. I got 6 loading screen moving from BRK to Chalman to defend. Then the delays that was Chalman as we tried to stop DC but could do nothing because of Instagibs without noticing your even being hit.

    Still unplayable for me. Anyone fine NOT running addons or something? I don;t understand how some people are fine and others are not.

    I find when I run in my standard sized group of 16 and we run into other groups of 16-30 it's fine. When we are running 16 and the enemy is running 70?? Well, I can barely move.

    What group size you running with - and what are you finding for enemy group size?

    Key things that help (but don't necessarily solve) the performance issues:

    1. Don't have a sixth group. Going beyond 20 in a raid is more apt to cause lag.
    2. Kick offline members of your group immediately. Offlines cause game stutter and lag.

    I suspect, for a lot of people, the lag has a lot to do with group lag. I've run solo around Wabbajack in prime time with only a few instances of hanging, usually during massive zerg clashes. In smaller engagements, the game is just fine while I run out of group.

    Yea they definitely adjusted the population cap. The latest patch also fixed much of my lag too, yeah I still lag here and there but not nearly as bad as what it was.

    @fixate for the most part I agree we (AD) push east a bit more than west. Maybe we consider EP more of a threat, idk.

    Its not an illusion, it does happen, almost every day. It makes sense though because we did the same thing to dc back when they were winning. Less then a month left until we win the campaign so they better start teaming up on us even harder.
    I wrote a poem that I titled, "The ganker's delight."

    As you lay upon the ground, cry not little pawn.
    The pain will pass as quickly as my blade did take you,
    but my delight will last and you will respawn.
    My heart simply cannot contain my joy, when I ply my trade.

    The fault lies with you, your skill was lacking.
    Now your salt is mine forever, can't you hear the laughing?
    Once you were so proud and now you are reduced to this.
    A miserable, loud deuced fool.

    With every tear you drip, with every excuse you let slip.
    All of your insecurities and worries bring a smile to my lip.
    From your despair I have ripped endless glories,
    but our affair is over now. Be afraid for I will return for more.

    I have received many titles, to my allies I am The sniper Emperor and Grand champion hero of the Pact. However these titles mean little to me, it is the ones given to me by my victims that I prefer. To them I am "Xv1er", "trash", "no balls", "zerger", "noob", "cringe", "no skill", "camper", "100% new", "the reason this game is dying", "pathetic", "a sack of piece of [snip]", "mediocre", "absolute inbred", "beyond a virgin", "ganky dork", "fat smelly 40yr old virgin", "little girl", "daddy", "exploiting loser", and every [snipped] word known to man.

    Clearly due to the now lowered population caps the only fighting on the entire map is that small northeastern corner where AD and DC tag team EP nightly.

    There are no DC groups attacking AD or any AD groups constantly in the back keep areas of DC causing havoc.

    I do believe you've been caught lying. I also like how AD has bowed down to DC even though they could take them out in a second. lol
