Force Redux Posted January 12 Posted January 12 9 hours ago, Luminara said: Yeah... that wouldn't actually make any difference. See, Captain D here has very specific expectations and notions. For example, defenders who use anything other than heals or buffs are "wrong". Tankers who press any key that isn't Taunt don't know how to play. Controllers = nope. Dominators are worse controllers. Et cetera. Consequently, his recruitment qualifications tend to dissuade some players, disallow others, and extend the process unnecessarily. When he finally gets rolling, his requirements have historically driven players to depart ASAP, thus a delay as he stops to recruit replacements, who will be, as noted above, have to meet certain qualifications, or are booted shortly after joining if they're not played the way he wants them to be played, or they hightail it when they realize what they've gotten themselves into, creating further delays. He's also restricts himself to lower level play, for various (and hilarious) reasons, so he has a limited target set, and he only runs certain arcs at those levels, so he's competing against the DFB/TF-to-20 crowd. And the AE crowd. He's basically dredging the bottom of the barrel at that point, only getting people who want a badge for something he's running or who have just started playing and are only joining his team because his announcement was the first they saw. In a nutshell, he's spent five years training people to avoid him and is reliant on newbs for teams. And we ain't exactly overflowing with those on any shard. Luminara, please don't beat about the bush here.... 🙄😄🙂 1 @Force Redux on Everlasting ----- (read my guide) ----- Gather the Shadows: A Dark Miasma Primer for Masterminds

macskull Posted January 12 Posted January 12 2 hours ago, biostem said: So Excelsior, per the current forum count, has a little over 1000, and Everlasting has nearly 600, so there would definitely be a queue if the shards were consolidated, (assuming your numbers are correct)... If you consolidated everything onto one server, sure. But if you kept just the two highest-population servers, you still wouldn't be anywhere close to queue numbers. Hell, if you just vaporized Indomitable, Torchbearer, Reunion, and Victory and those players suddenly found themselves instantly teleported to Everlasting, it would still only have just about the same population as Excelsior does right now. The only real effect on anyone would be that multiboxing would no longer be allowed most of the time since both Excelsior and Everlasting would be in the red aside from the slow hours of the day. 2 hours ago, Diantane said: I play on Excelsior. the population used to be much higher here 2 years ago. If was fast and easy to put teams together for several hours every day. The LFG chat was extremely busy. Today it barely moves. The average population on Excelsior in January 2023 was slightly lower than it is today, so your statement is factually incorrect.

macskull Posted January 12 Posted January 12 (edited) 10 minutes ago, biostem said: Excel, alone, was at 2/3 capacity, and that wasn't during primetime. Excel's peak numbers on the weekends rarely exceed 1100, which is the threshold for the red dots. The only functional thing "red dots" mean is that multiboxing isn't allowed on that server. The server queue doesn't start until population on a single server passes 1500 players. For example, here's peak numbers from this Friday: I can pull up some off-peak numbers as well, but Excelsior often dips below 400 players and the entire population is often between 700-800 during the middle of the day.
