Hesitantly, I joined a Deadly Apocalypse/Banner event happening in Peregrine just now. I was expecting awfulness, lag, self-loathing, rubberbanding, and existential angst.

 

Instead, I was on a 3-team league that simply did the event with no drama or trauma.

 

That population cap is helping TREMENDOUSLY. Thank you for putting it in place, HC devs!

I'm finding I'm having to remind folks how to run it, or , maybe more happily, we have so many new players that they don't know how to run it yet (I've run a GM hunter/league TPer for the past few years for ToT and have all this down pat, I know how to run this like some know how to Hami.... which I never really learned). 

 

Of the three times I've been around for banners so far, I've had to take the time to post a brief explainer in chat once it starts up.  It's always slow to start, no, really, everyone: please leave the hotel and head to one of the colored dots on the map... but all three times we got our acts together and got it completed, even after the time the timer on one slipped below ten minutes before we even got the banners vulnerable.

I think population control is the answer to so many issues.

Yep, ToT at the Bates motel has been noticeably less laggy...XP is taking a bit of a hit as the league size dwindles in the later PI instances but still decent.

Wait, hold up!

 

When did they lower the population cap on my island?

Being constantly offended doesn't mean you're right, it means you're too narcissistic to tolerate opinions different than your own.

In the interest of transparency, we would also like everyone to be aware we have lowered the player limit on Peregrine Island to 50 to make Trick or Treating a bit easier on everyone. We will keep an eye on this as it develops and see if it needs further adjustments.
