Sepruzzo Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I feel like over the last few weeks the 50-50 to 60-40 pub win ratio in regs has decreased dramatically. It's become extremely difficult to get a win on my pub toons, even with pretty solid players from solid pvp guilds on my team. I know one of the main reasons (if not *the* main reason) for this is the significant influx of Pot5/Bastion/other server players bringing their imps in. But it's at a point now where I'm rather hesitant to even play pub side anymore, which sucks because I'm a "mood" player. Sometimes I'm in the mood to play pub, sometimes imp. And when I log imp and enter a wz, there's like 3 instances of imp v imp on that map. For those who *have* been getting some slight bit of success on pub side, what's a good time to queue? Lately I haven't been able to find a decent time frame where I can get a solid winning streak going. Also inb4 "lol regs dont matter noob" - because anyone who knows about Harb ranked pvp knows why that argument is patently retarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmbuddah Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 We at The Red Eclipse republic side feel your pain. I found running groups of nothing but gunslingers will cause a lot of opposing teams to quit though =D. If that helps any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickious Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Works in my favor. It used to be the other way around. Getting rolfstomped with pub premades was not fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake_Chambers Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I have found that pub players are worse at objectives, so at the beginning of the match make it clear what needs to be done. No matter what, they simply refuse to ignore orbs in Hypergate, leaving like 2v7 while they run orbs that are meaningless, or in Novaare a tank wants to guard, in Civil War like half the team goes to our own node. Sounds like either you just need to lvl out of it or take control, be a leader or form a premade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monterone Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) Yep, I joined a sister guild on the imp side and have been playing my old mains on the imp side. Sowwy Kidding aside though, yes a lot of old friends from pot5 transferred recently to the imp side, and also a few of us from pub pvp guilds have gone back to playing imp as well. I know a few of us from 'guild formerly known as' Wrath of Xedrix (pub) are joining back up with old guildies who are in Hustle on the imp side.

Juithtin Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I've noticed more good imp premades than pubs recently. But give it time and it'll probably swing back the other way, it usually does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teclado Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I've definitely noticed. I wish more peeps would move to counter the changes and keep matches tight rather than quickly bail to the winning side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On harbinger at least, imps are usually the players who won't play objectives, while reps will Edited May 29, 2015 by Icykill_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RooRider Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 It's seasonal. Same time every year pubs stink on Harb. Although in saying that I would say that the standard of pvp on Harb has deteriorated pretty rapidly since the beginning of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballroompirate Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I don't know how it is at lvl 60, but Imps get destroyed at lower brackets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master-Nala Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 What does 3.3 have to do with that? Is there gonna be cross faction? Can transfer commendations through legacy, meaning you can play whatever faction you want but still gear your other characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkii_boy Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 ive noticed this aswell, imps seem to have more healers than us and play oibjectives better/better dps. just better overall i think. and we also always have at least two people in pve gear which doesnt help. queue times dont matter as far as i can see.

What's happened is that the Imps have some very strong premade guilds running and they play a lot. When they aren't around or when the Republic guilds field their own premade said its much better. I was in a premade a couple of days ago and went 10 straight wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just noticed "Nala" is "Alan" backwards. Dang usually I am good at those! I guess "Nala" looks like a normal name so I never suspected it of being a name backwards. hahaha.

ace_boogie Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) Its only bad after about 8:30-9 pm with the Hustle and Hashtag Hax premades. Sometimes they are fun matches and sometimes we get stomped and i feel like if we had just 1 more good dps on our team it would've been a different match entirely. And sometimes I feel like I have to do literally everything when Hustle gets all super try hard against me. But I will say this.. Coming from a server where the pubside has completely disintegrated, I can say you guys don't realize how good you actually have it here.

TUXs Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 ...old guildies who are in Hustle on the imp side. I've learned very quickly that I hate seeing that name in a WZ... Pubs on Harb are no different than any other server...HUGE pool of players, some good, some terrible. Luck of the draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not always that bad, I was in a decent pug and we beat them 6-2 in Queshball. But anything node based pugs tend to get crushed by Hustle.

Fellow-Canadian Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Honestly it feels very balanced on the republic side. I really don't feel when I join a warzone I will lose. I expect to win and I am surprised when the imps fight back. I don't think it matters so much which faction players join just as long as they are on the harbinger. PVP still needs to grow and both factions already on this server got it pretty good. You can queue any time day or night and be able to PVP. More people queueing means the competitiveness of the player pool goes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think I was in that huttball match.(or maybe a different one because I remember the score being 5-2)Like I said they are good but not unbeatable. Republic talent pool just takes a nose dive at night, and we start getting crushed Edited May 29, 2015 by ace_boogie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlcman Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 II know one of the main reasons (if not *the* main reason) for this is the significant influx of Pot5 players bringing their pubs in. Fixed that for you. All the pot5 baddies transferred to harbinger. Enjoy them!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUXs Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Fixed that for you. All the pot5 baddies transferred to harbinger. Enjoy them!! "baddies"? What are you, 4? Good or bad, I don't gaf, I'm just glad we have a crap ton of queue pops and plenty of people attempting PvP. Queues on Harbinger pop 24/7...not just for 3 hours at night like on POT5.

Good for you, eventually REP population will seize to exists. The only server left where pub still can land a win is Bastion and even there its going down hill. You could always transfer to any other server and dominate WZ.................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
