The T3 is very weird in these days, all 3 zones are all controlled by Orders. Usually, Destruction will flip over everything. I login around 9am and do a few run then PQ to get lock down, 3 zones were all ready to lock nearly at same time, I missed the tick from Dwarf land but got 2 lockdown bonus. 

Since there is nothing can do in T3, I relog T1 captured one BO then the T1 was blue,  I relog T2, I can't see either Orders or Destructions. I ask my guild about T4, my guildie said there are few Destructions.

 

For 5 hours, I only saw 6 destruction players. They were tried to capturing a BO but they run away immediately when our full warband approaching.

 

It's Friday and the school is closed now.

I suggest the game to neutralize the keep and BOs after certain hours. So we still can play without opponents.

The lack of faction balance is what ruined WAR for me. The RvR is epic, but it doesn't work as well as it did in DaoC.

[(T+G=W)=Gr*Nf]-S=FoF
T=Time G=Gear W=Win Gr=Grind Nf=NoFun S=Skill FoF=FullofFail

IMHO, the 3 realm system of DAoC is what made RvR work. The 2 realm system in WAR is good, but too easily unbalanced.

After continuing play for hours, finally, there was 2/3 warband Destruction in T3. But some people just scared the hell out of them away whenever they trying to capture something. In the end, the T3 turn blue again and I guess the Destruction relog other alts in T2 and T1 because T4 was nearly blue as well as T3. Actually, T2 and T1 also controlled by Orders.

T1-Empire around 7 Dest, T1 Dwarf-5 Dest, T1 Elf-didnt see any dest.

T2-around 14.

T3-havent seen any

T4-Mostly are under order control.

This number only for the time during my play, from around 4:30pm - 19:30 pm. Since there is no activity so I log out.

This worries me because it is impossible the server loses all Destruction players in a day or two. Or maybe it is too good weather in Europe to stay in front of the computer.

Didn't check it yesterday but today (Saturday) is catastrophic day because no destruction.  Many people just going to PVE contents, and even T2 has very little population. Spotted around 10 Dest on T1 Empire. LOTD is on Dest side today.

On Friday night, I was lucky to see 1 wb of Destruction but Orders are outnumbered so we ganked destruction too hard so they just logout.

Hopefully there will be more destruction on RVR later of the day.

Yeah, what server you're on really makes or breaks your experience with WAR. I had to browse around a few servers before finding one with a decent population that I felt could be active with the hours I play, at the times I play.

This is solved by doing what everyone else did, quit. Nothing about this game works how it should and you'll only get more frustrated the longer you play it. I was destruction back when I played, but like many others I quit after the nerfs combined with the boring game play and all the other issues with the game.

That's the exact same logic of "Our Warband is losing the fight, let's all ragequit". It won't help, now, there are bugs and imbalances. They've had time to fix things and some things were balanced, some were not. I don't find the massive zergs fun all the time, so I make gank parties in T4 to guard postern doors, or entrance roads to keeps. Try and find something you like in the game, if you can't find something you like, then you obviously don't like the game.

Consumers shouldn't be paying for a game still in beta state.

OP if your looking a game that has a stable game client that can handle more than 10 people on the screen. RvR endgame that actually works and is fun. Fun PVE. Then your going to have to wait for Aion to be released, WAR failed in every department and Aion will be its final nail in the coffin so to speak.

I was talking about the first sentence he said about quitting. Population imbalance will be fixed by people leaving, right? That's what I was talking about my comparison on when a warband starts to lose, people quit. Because that will totally help right? Sorry, if my whole post got jumbled into what was the logic, or maybe I'm just explaining it wrong.

And then @ supbro with his statement "Consumers shouldn't be paying for a game still in beta state."

I'm not sure, it's up to opinion on if it's in beta. As far as I know at least.

Today, it's Saturday. I keep online waiting for Destructions because all T3 are blue. I stared at monitor and browsed over the map for over 8 hours. Nearly nothing happen. Actually, around 8pm the last hour before I post here, there was a small band of dest tried to attacking a keep, but the noob Orders just scared them away.

And then, all is quiet. T2 is kind of busy actually but I dont want to play other characters.

"Femmmes Fatales - The Power of the Feminine in the Art of MMO"

Then your going to have to wait for Aion to be released, WAR failed in every department and Aion will be its final nail in the coffin so to speak.

 

I agree with this as both fact and sentiment. If you are waiting for a RvR game that roxs and will completely obliterate WAR in the populairty stakes wait for the AION release. I have been playing Chinese servers and even though I only levelled to 38 (Gladiator) and 22 (cleric) the RvR is awesome. There are some complaints about hacks and bots, but they are superficial. AION is the closest you will get to DAoC end game pvp.
