I've played 20 warzones in the last two days and still haven't seen the new one. RNG can bite me.

Yeah it wouldnt hurt if they increased the weighting a little during the introduction week. It has been done with new multiplayer maps in other games.

Yes would have liked to see it more often but have been in 4 times and the EMPIRE has easily won all 4. Its a very good warzone indeed.

 

Happy hunting

well where is that fun in that?

Yeah I kept track of how many ques it took me to finally hit this new map. All within the time frame required to que successfully into 17 maps, (18th finally "proc'ing"...Ancient Hypergate.)

 

Ironically, within that same time span, I so happened to que up that infuriatingly annoying huttball map 8 times, including a run of 3 in a row.

 

Cool ratio there buds.

 

Here I thought Aions RNG was bad.

 

If only there were some way to, I dunno, choose what particular map to que for, thereby circumventing RNG alltogether.

 

But hey, perhaps I'm being unreasonable, I mean, its not like something like this has ever been implemented in an mmo, right?

Kinda bummed, too. Played a ton of warzones and still haven't seen the new one yet. Seems like when Novarre Coast went live, they changed the weighting of it so that it popped more often. Must've dropped the ball on this one. Go figure.

 

Seen it twice in like 20 wz's... first time I was backfill and got to see it for all of 30 seconds. 2nd time the other side was 2 premades vs. our 8 pugs... ISNT THIS FUN?

4 warzone yesterday, 3 ancient hypergate

The new WZ sucks. There's nowhere to LOS for a healer, you pretty much heal in the open. Cap times are way too quit and the whole mechanic of the fight is warped. I'd much rather prefer a hutball as opposed to the new wz.

^ this. 1st time, it was ok, no premades, but we had like 3-4 people with 14k hp, we lost. Second time normal pug against premade, which especially hurts on this map, lost again. Yesterday I played like 10-15 wzs, and was a backfill for hypergates for a stunning 10 seconds

Random is random.

 

Of the 15 I ran yesterday I got.

 

Civil War 4

Voidstar 6

Huttball 2

Hypergate 2

Novare Coast 1

 

Over time it evens out. If I play a couple hundred and still have the same ratio then I will be conserned.

Just got play it, first time in ten or so games. Had 9 warriors in the game and one sorc *hmm* to rule them all. It was fun and I managed to run enough orbs to top the objective chart too (7700)

 

On another note, they REALLY need to cut down on VS.

I've had it once in about 17 games. around 10 of those 50 (and where I got it) then none in the sub-50 which I thought would be train wrecking awesome to see.

Lets see, EWH gear is barely an upgrade and in some cases is a downgrade (earpiece/ implant). So if the next tier of gear isnt an incentive at least getting to play this new WZ a bunch is.....no....wait....i've played about 15 games sine 1.6 and only got in hypergates once.

 

I support weighing the chances hypergates pops higher.

i really want to play this new wz to but it bloody never pops and i dont have the time to spend all day trying to get it just 1 time..

Sure, next you'll tell us there's no cake.

 

I've played at least 20 in past two days, no AH pop. Methinks it's not real, just a massive troll by BW and some of you are in on it

Just ignore the videos (;

Obviously you have played Aion ONLY after patch 2.5 because 1/18 is still alot better than the old 1/100+ drop rate of a stupid blue weapon so imagine what was the drop rate of gold gear before patch 2.0 lol

There is no penalty for leaving a WZ so if you are a pugging ad don't want what you got, drop it and reque.

I logged on Tuesday morning and played a match Novare Coast, Huttball, and Voidstar before the new one popped up. Since then, I've played Ancient Hypergates about 7 or 8 times across four characters. In total, I've played about 30-35 matches in the past two days. So I guess it's popping up as much as it should (around 20%).

I was making this argument on fleet, accusing everyone who said they played the new warzone of being in on the conspiracy. Tongue in cheek of course.

 

To be clear, I'm not complaining that it's not random. Just cursing my luck at not getting it.

Unfortunately, Ive played/been playing, (somehow, I still do from time to time, since its actually free now), since Closed Beta 1 my friend. Ive experienced everything that horrible, sadistic, and entirely infuriating RNG system of theirs has had to offer. (Forget loot, try enchanting or manastone socketing nowadays, most swear its worse than its ever been lol).

 

Wont get into the other practices in that game that firmly cemented NCsoft into my "s*hit list" for life, for that would be a topic for another thread.

 

Sufficed to say, the term "Random Number Generator", now means something totally different than what it used to, prior to my stint in that game.
