Unhappy zerging getting worse?


Is it me, or are all the sides just zerging day by day in pop-locking numbers this past week. Primarily it seems to be the NC and VS zerging, but the TR has their day too. I rekon its becasue of the two empire thing. People are spending a day on one empire, then another on the next. They get owned and they switch, then before you know we have a millenium bridge effect where the population is all chaning in step to avoid getting wiped out, leaving behind the true players.

The "displaced" population with their newer charachters have no outfit so tend to go with the crowd, causing this unprecidented locust like swarm devouring each base one by one in apocolyptic numbers. Huge numbers of vehicles carpeting the ground and so many infantry when they all charge the base every inch of every corridor is jammed. I'd be very interested to see any population movement info on this note.

I've had to quit two concecutive days running now. Not becasue im loosing, and not becasue I'm being zerged, but becasue our bases are getting SO zerged my PC freezes. I might get low fps every so often in the worst zergs, but no mass zerg has ever been so stupid as to concentrate THIS much. The zergs ususaly split a bit and take different bases.

It is turning in to one big zerg atm sometimes theres the odd good fight but when you have arseholes like Matrix insistant on bossing the TR around like his own personal hitmen it's no wonder. There is WAY to much zerging & not enough tatics at the moment imo.

(Omg! We'r acctuly talking in the PSU Werner section!?! Or am I just in some majorily fucked up dream?!? I know I did got to bed pretty late last night..... )

Don't worry, we're not really talking here, it's just our over exausted psychies imagining things.

I don't know what's going on really. Is there a higher population? I might end up taking a break from Pside till I can upgrade my PC. I don't think we need another server; the "Hamster 2.0" jokes that go around aren't so well founded anymore, I haven't experianced a server crash for weeks. What I think we need are those "missions" the devs talked about on agn to spread out the population.

The new random warpgate thing is going to give planetside a deep sense of "omfg, we're surrounded" With warpgates opening here there and everywhere giving every man and his dog the opertunity to foothold the continent we're fighting on. the capitol idea might resolve that to an extent.

So, we've got the population, we've got the well established outfits, all we need is direction rather than. "Ceshren next." and "ok people lets all kick the NC off Amerish"

Deffinatly, maybe they should look at making a mid-point for Xp so if you have too many people on a cont you lose some Xp for each kill so that it breaks the zerg up a little & yet keeps the nice sized good fights going.

I think is /comXXX was removed from the game & you had a mission based thing then it would break the zerg up a lil, hopfully it would work out just right.

Alternitivly they could just reduce cont population by 50 & then that would have a good effect in my opinion, less lag & more fights on other conts (so your not on Solsar, Ish & Amerish all the time) but thats just my opinion I know alot of people that want bigger fights :/
