Only supposed to enjoy this game at peak hours?

For people that have weird working hours at evening and come back home late at night/early morning are not supposed to be able to enjoy a big battle?

All I see at night and early morning is cat and mouse capfest where you might see an occasional enemy.


I see almost every server on low pop, and in these servers they're all scattered around the 3 continents, making it a ghost town.


Should this game be played at any time or just during the 8 hours when there's actual battles going on? Just wondering if some server merging should be done and maybe SOE got a bit greedy with their server hogging.

Well, it is unfortunate. But nothing anyone can do. People go to bed, that's life.

Need server mergers.

Play on different time zone servers?

I have not tested it, but I've heard the lag between continents is not bad.

I can ONLY have decent any FPS during the nighttime.

Until they release a major optimization patch, night capping with a warwagon will be my only way to earn more than 20 certs an hour.

Tell yourself you're doing a real life night op, I guess, until they start merging servers during the night, or something.

I got this here silly question... how you see the server populations?

Servers are barely populated even during peak hours.

There are things that could be done fixing the metagame to encourage fighting. I'm in the same boat right now the only game time I have save for some Saturday nights and even then it is usually after prime time is the wee hours of the morning. At least PS1 at those times the only people playing WANTED to fight so you could find people to shoot.

Right now the way the game rewards free capping all checkpoints and bases and only rewards defending if you are getting lots of kills, not to mention the horrid base design and easily camped spawn points, all of those people on line are doing anything but fighting.
Honestly there are still enough people on at all hours to have fun massive fights, just the population is in this weird ghost capping train on their own continent rather than fighting.

We can blame the players, and I do plenty. But they are only doing what is encouraged by the system. And right now the system is broken.

Create a new character, sort servers by population.
You'll find an accurate reading there, like the damage indicators on guns.

Or just use the launcher's advanced settings section and click servers.

OR just use this website.
