Getting real bored of it mostly being Esamir when I log in to check at all times through the day.

Only seen the other 2 played once and Esamir over 10 times now.

Get it sorted if give us new planets. The game is over half a year OLD!

The game is 5 months old and I saw all three yesterday. It's probably an anomaly or Esamir tends to be unpopulated on your server.

Weird, I've only seen one on Esamir so far. It's usually on Amerish and it typically means I can finally find a fuckin fight.
Dunno what you're complaining about.

See there's this magical thing called the law of probabilities. Just because something has a 33% chance of occuring, doesn't mean there won't be anomolies, and in a truely random system, it won't correct itself either. For instance if you flip a coin and it lands on heads 10 times in a row, the chance of it landing on heads again is still only 50%. Somewhere in the infinite multiverses is a poor sod who's landed on head a thousand times in a row. Because that's simply how probability works.

Your chance of "winning" this lotto was 0.03%.

No no see it's 50%, he either wins, or he doesn't! :lol: (I'm pretty sure that was the joke he was making)

On Briggs we get all three, possibly more Indar then Amerish and Esamir.

Last nights Indar was a classic, NC held 50% with about 40mins and dominating directly north and east of our warpgate.
Then the dumb call goes out to focus more at the Crown to capture it and the buffer around it so the NC pubs would be forced to fight elsewhere.


....end of the alert we did hold the Crown but only held 12% of Indar and were virtually warpgated.

Then dopey blamed the NC pop calling them stupid, and they should wake up and fuck off the Crown.... The very same Crown he ordered them to take in his previous order.

The ultimate warrior who came up with that battle plan should probably step back and stfu from now on.
Its safe to say I doubt the Briggs NC pubs will ever listen to this chump again.
The vets have known not to for ages.

It was a disgrace.

it's better than fighting on Indar, though.

yesterday we had taken over Esamir, and there were some of the biggest battles i have seen that were not on Indar for once. and we got alot of XP :D

Interestingly, I've never had an alert on Esamir. I guess that's tha dice.

You mean Pseudorandom is Pseudorandom. :)


And to that regard.. I'm not even sure they attempted that. I don't remember ever seeing the same continent twice in a row.... and the few times I've been on long enough, I've seen the alerts cycle through, not repeating at all.

Anyone experience two alerts of the same cont in a row?

P.S. I'm not saying you logged in and it was the same alert that was yesterday when you were on... I mean being on for the hours it takes to see a bunch together. I spent 8 hours playing on a Sat and saw 1 of each continent (3 alerts)... without logging off.

In my experience, alerts are triggered on imbalanced continents. It could be that, on some servers, one continent is more likely to be dominated, leading to more alerts.

I see Amerish a lot on Miller .

Theres been some nice fights there this week it always the outposts that get the best fights during a alert and Amerish has some nice ones Crux , the bastion , ns arsnal to name a few they have all had cracking fights there the last few days .
