Pretty sure it does. Depending on what you call early morning US. 7am eastern time US the game is down for restart and pretty much slow until 10am est or 7am pst. Once crossplay happens for US side it wont. You have to remember that USPS alone has more characters than both EUPC and EUPS combined.
Huge surprise when I got a complete random queue raid in less than 5 minutes (Villain side). Although I've migrated to US server due to low population on EU a year ago, I know I am more than looking forward to the sudden growth of community (from my point of view).
PC was like that all time at launch before the hack. A bit less after..and then back up when ir went ftp.
Similar story on the EU Villains side now: I was running around the whole circle and there were groups of players at every point. It felt very nostalgic. I even had to phase shift a few times because they were so many people around. Congratulations to the developers on a successful, pain free merge. Considering this is the same company that did the PVP/PVE servers merge back in the day, I had planned for a lot worse :X
Soon, well have cake and ice cream, ballons, and smoke the peace pipe....Proxystar and i will be going at it UA:"Civil War" style mounting for the final battle to decide where SP can stand
Same company different name, there literally have been people explaining this on a weekly basis lol....
I have to say going from the highest priced item on the brooker being under 10 mil to the highest priced item now being 200 mil is a kinda crazy lmao.
As a USPC player who was thinking to move to EU after crossplay I am certainly not disappointed. I'm very happy with the amount of population and smooth gameplay I saw. I can't imagine how many people will be on US side after merge, its crazy lol.
Me too, whenever it happens. Just take your time, Mepps / Devs work out the kinks. It's happening sooner than later and for that I'm glad.
*Fingers crossed for active villains side*.. What.. i can hope right Jk. I do wanna play on my villain some more, because that was the side I started out with. I went to heroes side as soon as the population became pretty bad.. Well the population wasn't a problem, but forming groups on villains side was. I'll still play on my heroes though. #Hello all the playstation folks.
