so i started on server badlands...bad move it filled up quick.....2 hour queues
moved to the low pop server with a dumb name lol Sea of Claws....guess what full now 1h:30 min queue times
ok.....they opened up a new server Vortex, rolled on that one....today i come home during lunch...1h queue time...
the same thing will happen during SE launch and retail launch...they start off low and become full hour long queue times....
no matter what you do, if you wanna play destro....youre screwed
just roll order? well i like the Zealot class alot...but their mirror runepriest? ummm uggh i just cant do it i wouldnt enjoy the game.
not to mention why should i be forced to roll order to enjoy the game?
pretty crappy launch so far for destro players

This is what happens when you sell 1.5million preorders.
playing: Dragon Age
Waiting: for FF14, Mass Effect
Want to try: Fallen Earth
So, what is your suggested fix? Let the ratio be 20000 to 1 Chaos vs. Order? Hard to have any remotely balanced RvR, if most everyone is in one Realm.
After this initial success (sales wise). They should have plenty of funding to open up more servers. I know people dont like to wait but before you open up more servers you need to know you're getting enough players.
Technically this isn't the launch. This is the "Headstart" timeframe. Mythic has already stated they are going to look at the population trends, adjusting population caps, and roll out more servers as needed. I'm actually glad they are doing the headstart to make the actual launch smooth. I would really hate to see these issues being resolved on September 18th. Frankly it's nice to see they've learned from the mistakes of earlier MMOs, and are taking appropriate steps.
Nice ... Makes me feel good that I'm rolling Order
Funny thing is -- when you read the warhammer books... The order is overwhelmed by the huge masses of Chaos.. Even in the books Chaos has the most people.. hehehehe
yeah will be incredible fun for everyone when they open the 1000th server were edstruction is marked to win because they outnumber order 20:1
i guess thats what you unleash a rvr game where everyone wants to be the badass
maybe its just me but in around 50 scenarios i did today at least 2:3rd were won by destro,
its the 2nd day and i alreaddy cant wait till ppl have enough of order loosing and step into the destro quueue in a few weeks

They are opening up many more servers when the standard preorders get in, and I'm fairly sure they have plans to add as needed after the official release.
Gotta say if the biggest issue so far with the game is that to many people are enjoying it, the game must be pretty damn good.
I believe WOW had this same problem, not enough servers for the demand, but they fixed it pretty quick, so I think give it a bit after the retail launch and most of the servers will be more accessible as the population evens out over all the servers, or maybe they will increase the server capacity.
From what I understand they have a lot of servers waiting to be opened, guess they are trying to learn from WoWs launch and have backup for the large influx of people. I imagine that tomorrow we will see the opening of a lot more servers, and even more come thursday. For now we will just have to deal I guess.

On my OB server (Ekrund) we (Order) seemed out numbered pretty bad, but our group rarely lost scenarios and took RvR points daily with little resistance.
The Destro players that i have seen are either really good, or really bad/unorganized.
Skill > Population
Better than rolling (emo)rder.
Its likely to get worse before it ets better. I expected destruction to outnumber order 3:2 if not 2:1 at the outset. However I expect the numbers to even out, but I expect it to take several months.

If everyone on a server is Destruction, who are you gonna fight? Your self?
You have no idea how boring it is to have nobody to fight.
acutally i dont have a fix.....i just find it crappy if you want to play for a quick hour its almost impossible unless you plan in advance.
Not to mention CTD have increased dramatcally....so once youre logged in youre not safe...you could easily crash within 10 minutes and find yourself waiting another 1 hour to play.
Better than rolling (emo)rder.
Dark Elves = Emo elves (I think so)
Chaos = Bad Emo Band
Greenskins = Nothing bad to say
they cold pay people to play order

Ya but they cant just keep opening up new servers to handle everyone who wants to play destruction. The game will be pointless if every server has chaos maxed out and order has no one. The game would not be fun at all unless you are just a loot whore and dont care about actually having good gameplay. It seems to me they already need to start announcing that they are gonna give order exp bonus and whatever else they said they were gonna do to try to balance things out more.

...Actually... if there was a system that rewarded people for rolling the low side ( xp bonus, loot bonus, something small )... it would work out pretty well..
I know you meant that as a joke but in all honesty, not a bad idea.

True, maybe a system that would allow extra NPC's to help you out in scenarios/RvR?
Dogs of War/Mercenaries or something.

They are paying people to play Order with no queues

They did it in DAoC you know. Give bonus to one realm. Make classes on one realm over power and neft the crap out of the other realm. Heheh. If they continue that road, I almost feel sorry for those playing Destruction.

I had a huge problem not just with CTD but my machine would lock up and restart automatically every 10-15 minutes when i first started playing. I uninstalled and reinstalled my video drivers, and poof I have not had one CTD or lockup since then. Also whenever you get a CTD send a bug report, so that you will actually help Mythic resolve whatever problem is going on if it is in fact a software issue.
hmmm.....this is a good complaint.....and plus you can't say its a failed release when the game doesnt officially release for 3 more days.
omg....you have to wait a bit.....the end of the world is here!
