Game has died, Nowhere to go

That was all just Imperial.

Pub Fleet 1 - 167
Pub Fleet 2 - 1*
Coruscant - 61
Nar Shaddaa - 50

Server currently shows "standard load", around 11pm server time on an east coast server (compare with earlier time).


* somehow Fleet 2 was still open and I could switch, but when I loaded in, my character was the ONLY one one Fleet 2... very creepy. I took screenshots.

Shadowlands (Republic) at 7:53pm PST

Note I took the list from MCB's other post, along with the additional suggestions by psandak in the same thread:
Is there any way to get the over 100 figure? Both Fleet and Coruscant pegged in the "Who" search.

Shadowlands (Empire) at 8:06pm PSTI'll leave it to others to analyze these numbers.

I will say that the amount of players in active operations makes me happy. The way some people talk on these forums, nobody ever raids and Bioware should never have spent any money making them.

Approaching midnight east coast, and still 95 on Dromund Kaas on EH.

And 85 on Nar Shaddaa.


Note that my numbers are coming from visiting these locations, not using the WHO.

Speaking of fops, I was able to get into the GF Op last night as a DPS Pug within 10 minutes or so. Anecdote (especially since I got in via someone asking in fleet chat), but still.

And it was a darn good fun run, too.

I am going to transfer a fully geared commando to EH. I am going to twitch the entire event. I am going to time how long it takes me to get a que pop for PVP.

I am going to run twitch the entire time so everyone can watch. I am going to make the stream name "make me a believer Ebon Hawk"

FYI about 4 months ago I moved my last fully geared toon off of EB. 4 months ago that server was horrible for que times. Maybe in the past 4 months the server exploded and now its worth playing on. Because 4 months ago it was worthless.

But I will take time and perform a test live on twitch so we can get to the bottom of this.

I have absolutely no idea how PvP queues will work out for you on EH.

What I do know is that EH is populated, that its population does not appear to be falling, and that it's not "dead".

What's your expectation of a queue pop time? On JC during peak times, it could take anywhere from "immediately" to 5-10 minutes to pop PvP unranked. I don't do ranked; the only reason I usually do unranked is for 4X/Pierce. Though I don't despise it, I'm just not terribly good at it; and I just depend on bolster so I don't have to regear.

Nevermind. I am not gonna waste time when I don't have to. There is no Twitch stream needed. This is a no brainer and really don't need to go further.

Logged into Ebonhawk on my 65 Shadow. Qued up for reg WZs. During the 20 minutes I was qued I checked each instance. Here is my results:
Hype=0
Void=0
Pit=0
Civil=0
Coast=0
Orbit=0
Canyon=0
Mesa=0
Square=0

After being in PVP que for 20 minutes without a que pop I logged off and logged into Harbringer.

Logged into Harbringer. Qued up for PVP on my lvl 65 Shadow. Did not get a chance to check the instances and got a que pop within 15 seconds. Took the que pop and while I was guarding the node checked instances. Here is my results:

Hype=8
Void=8
Pit=0
Civil=16
Coast=8
Orbit=4
Mesa=8
Canyon=0
Square=0

My conclusion is exactly if not worse than it was 4 months ago. For me Ebon Hawk is not worth playing on. As a matter of fact Ebon Hawk seems to be in a worse state then it was so it seems that since the release of Star Wars movie Ebon Hawk slipped a little further into the "dead que times" slump. When I played on EH I used to get que pops at this time. They were slow but they would pop within 10 minutes. Today 20 minutes and ZERO. Not even 1 pop.

I gave you the benefit of the doubt but the answer keeps coming back as the same. Harbringer is the LAST server left worth playing on unless they institute a server to server que system or form a mega server and combine all remaining servers into them. Not only have I not changed my stance on this issue, but the more I test it the more iron clad it gets.

There's more to the game than PvP. Obviously not for you, but the PvP-only crowd isn't one the game is catering to. It was always a "feature checkbox."

FYI that was just done right now. I logged into EbonHawk approx. 8:20 am EST. Logged into Harbringer approx. 8:40 am EST.
