Frustrated about Server Overpopulation

danbaladanbala Member Posts: 181
in Vanguard: Saga of Heroes

Last night my questing was thwarted by three large groups of players who descended on the large lizardman village near the Upside Defenses Garrison my friend and I were questing in. The village was cleaned out and we were locked in a race to lag mobs. The night before it was the same thing over near Donovan's Roost

Does anyone know of any out of the way questing areas for characters in their early 20s on Qalia?

    Somehow the word overpopulation and VG don't seem to go together.

    Go to Tanvu.

    I'm very familiar with Thestra and know how to avoid the crowds.  I always have a Plan A, B and C when adventuring.  Plan A is RoTK but it's too crowded.  Plan B is Southwatch and its quest-lines, but it's too crowded.  Plan C is Wardship of the Sleeping Moon and this is still a /who equals maxes out at 40 zone, but it's spread out enough so you don't end up competing in quest lines.  Another place where you can find a little peace and quiet and quest lines is the Northern border by Falgahorn.

    With Qailia, I've only been to Khal and worked my way NE along the riverbank.  So I am not much help there.

    There is a server over-population problem on Vanguard servers?



    Wow,  I haven't noticed that on my server at all..

    Better title would have been monster underpopulation.

    It's not that there are too many players as it is there are too few things for them to kill and respawn rates are horrendous.

    It is part of Brad's vision that players should have to compete for resources such as monster spawns.  He stated exactly that in one of the pre-release interviews.

    Its been basically fine up until recently. It was a little crowded at server launched but that died down a bit. But its seems like just recently -- over the last two weeks or so -- that my quest zones have gotten a bit crowded. In the past, I have just gotten group invites -- but the weird thing this week is that the groups are all full.

    These are mainly 3 dot zones. Four dot zones have been less crowded.

    Heh, you gotta love it when posters that aren't even playing the game are telling a person that IS playing the game that they are wrong when they say the server is croweded/overpopulated.



    LOL!  - Perhaps the poster actually PLAYING the game might have a bit more knowledge of server pop. than those that are pure forum speculators.  Just a thought.

    Florendyl is an absolute graveyard compared to the way it was at launch, period. I'm not arguing against what the OP is saying, but I am saying that Florendyl is dying moreso than it's growing. There's certainly no systemic overpopulation issues, just the underpopulation issues.

    Well maybe, or maybe we non-players still have friends in the game who tell us what they are experiencing.  The OP is on Florendale (or something like that) and I've heard its always had one of the stronger server populations (its a RP server right?)



    I've got some friends playing on Varking and they are seeing a drastic fall off in player numbers....



    It is true, server over pop and VG haven't exactly been synonomous..but its good to see that some of them are going full steam.  I wouldn't complain about having too many players.... its too few that is the real problem....

    The non-player/haters actually pretty comical.

    Another funny thing: when I posted this same question on a dedicated Vanguard site some Vanboys accused me of "winining."

    The fanaticism from some fans and haters is pretty entertaining.

    Yup, you gotta love it. 



    If you don't like the drama on both sides "haters/fanboys" well then you'd do best to just stay off forums in general.  Not just this site - all sites.



    I actually like it though - as it give me a "game" to play while at work.  (Meaning the drama that some posters like to project on the forums).  It is rather entertaining if you're not overly sensitive.

          The problem is that there are no zones, so if 5 groups go to do the same quest , all of them are around the same area. Especially on weekends things get crazy. Places like TK and CiS can get more than 15 groups at same time easy. Sometimes I sit and wonder what would hapen if 60-70 peeps got in Mistmoore Castle at same time. Now thats a thought

           As far as how many people play I have no clue. Last official word last month was 200000+ sales and a little less than that subscribers.

    The reason why it was hit up so hard, is because part of the new "Unicorn" mount quest, has them killing those lizardman, over and over, for a really rare drop, 3 times.

    So basically you will have 50s running around, massacring the place. :(

    It's not overpopulation, it was just a newly implemented quest of the "lottery, good luck!" variety, for something really popular. The lizardman village will be a graveyard in a week again. Just wait! :D

    Honestly, PM me your character name.

    My sub just ended 2 weeks ago.  I played on Florendyl.  Therefore I still lol at your title. 

    What you should say is that there is a poor design for one group of MOBs for a popular quest.  It has nothing to do with hate.  Why pointing out an obvious falsehood being taken as "hate"?

    Your title is just ridiculous.

    That would be awesome but sadly  . .  no.

    Unless by "underpopulated' you mean I have to wait 15 minutes for the PC population to thin at the Lizardmen camps instead of 1 hour. Or maybe you mean that the 2-3 full six man parties where half as many as the number that should have been there?

    If this was the effects of being "underpopulated" then Sigil needs to think about more servers . . .
