Last night on Helios server at about 2:45 am PST. The NC had about 80% of Esamir for the COLD WAR event. TR was warped gated and didn't have a chance. Yet TR won?!?!? WTF!
So I just spent 2 hours fighting as NC on Helios obtaining 80% of the territory, just to lose to TR who was warp gated. Thanks again SOE for not testing anything and reminding me why I should never spend money on this game. But hey SOE you have MLG going for you and more moneygrab NS weapons being released, its nice to know you have priorities. I just can't wait for the train wreck MLG will be when they encounter these bugs.
Why "capture the continent" dosent work. no way to force even population across 1 set continent 33%tr 33%nc 33%v but there is max population on continent (set number) So once the server is full obviosly the one team with the largest population is going to funnel and fill a server fastest and unevenly so now you have 42%(A) 38(B) 20(C) on the one continent that HAS to be conquered This will end as a victory for the overpopulated without changing outcomes fix for this: force even continent population another thing. played two hours to complete the event and attained 0xp for 2 hours of my time spent this event. "bad behaviour" how bout never participating in game events since you only award bad behaviour. Overpopulation stop contradicting yourselves You are the example of such
Just wow... If this is true then i think we need to see some apologies from SOE. Can anyone else confirm this happened??
Thats where you're wrong, when a continent is completely full there is 33% of each team there. take the other day when I was playing, I couldnt get on indar, it was full. The pop was 33% for all sides. I dont know how many players 33% is then, its between 500 and 1000.
The alerts AFAIK are designed to happen during lower server population times, random sorta maybe? I'm always on a prime time so doubt I'll ever see one.
Hey guys, guys hey guys, if we force even populations, people will all be on indar, and the few that want to go raid the other two won't because there is no oposition. And you still got the exp for kills, which is earned, so why whine that you didn't get the few certs from caping the continent when you rigged the fight?
the only problem is that they have no controll over then, adn the servers could go down mid alert if needed
Just to confirm, this did happen. I was a VS platoon lead and we had ~30% of the territory and were trying to push hard when all of the sudden we were notified that TR had won. After looking into it a bit more, it turned out that TR captured Amerish and the game credited them as having won the alert for Esamir. I recognize that this is a bug, but it's still kind of unfair to all of the other faction members who were fighting, especially NC who would have likely gotten at LEAST 8k XP.
As this is not a technical issue and sounds more like a bug, I'm going to ask the discussion go (more constructively) to our bug section.
