Hive the 2 Chernarus servers.

[groovy cali]

I love waiting in que's as much as everyone. But the ability to not rush S1 and make 30+ man que's simply so you can loot for the day, it'd be nice to have the option of S2 to do the looting and S1 for the primary roleplay(as it already is that way)

 

 

Should we make them under the same hive, why or why not?

Unfortunately we don't connect servers together anymore as it destroys both servers loot economy.

Fucking unlucky. Shame.

Yeah, I wish I could do it too, I really want to, but I already know how it will end up - like it did last time - us having to wipe Chernarus 1 in 1-2 months.

[ShroudKN]

I feel like wiping every couple months is a better alternative then having two completely disjointed servers, one of which won’t be used nearly as much.

dude, literally just turn it on during overflow, if server 1 isnt full, dont turn it on.

it would lessen the impact on the economy unlike before when it was constantly on.

[Itsmez]

Well here we see how someones fun will ruin others fun. Completely understandable why Rolle wont do it

[Dookie]

Honestly just make them hive, it will clear the queue on S1 slightly and will let people play with their friends even if S1 is full, waiting in queue just doesn't work some days especially when some people get time to play right before the server is full, which means they often miss their window of when they can join their friends without sitting in queue for 30min.

Nice poll bias, also as the big man said, not gonna happen for balance reasons

Turn it on when S1 is full, problem solved, it worked before, it will work again, let me play the game with my pals goddamn.

And yet, that still messes with the loot economy of both servers

I felt really hyped to play today after a long period of not being to. But I was around 10 odd minutes late since I needed some food, just to find the queue being astronomical and un moving. I can totally see all sides here but unless there is some incentive to play s2 (as the server seems to attract an odd 10-20 people) I doubt many people will be able to play.

 

Isn't balance less important than actually being able to play to begin with? I may be wrong, I just want to play so forgive my lack of IQ on the matter

 

-Edit:

After doing some math of how long I was in queue and how much it moved, it shoould take a bit under 3 hours for me to be able to join tonight

That doesn't seem very Roleplay focused. While S2 was a loot server for some, others just played there because it worked for them due to the fact S1 was full.

RP > GearRP

Balancing the gear doesn't make us not roleplay focused. You don't need your S1 gear to roleplay, right? Because RP > Gear

I don't need the Gear, but I do not have an explaination as to why my Character is going to appear on 2 seperate locations on the server with completely different cloathing, only to spawn on S2 with a completely different set of coordinates and cloathing. Fix it.

No. Can't fix what isn't broken.

But it just doubles the time spent looting for the essential items needed for roleplay than actually roleplaying lmao.

You clearly aren't seeing the picture, there can't be any RP if people sit in queue instead of just jumping into S2 with the rest of their groups or friends.

Thats a great point, and loot aside I would rather be able to play with as many people as possible whenever (without massive queues). I could personally care less if i only have a knife or 2 ak's.

 

If we get them hived we can roleplay with more people rather than what we would be able to do if the server was cut in half

Which is why they should join S2 with the rest of their groups or friends...

Look.

I very much understand and agree that in a perfect world C1/C2 would have the same hive. But as we have seen in the past with S1/S2 Chernarus ca. 2017/2018 the loot economy gets fucked. In a perfect world, actually, we'd just have 200 slots. But of course that doesn't work. S1/S2 had a shit economy with ghosting being a real problem too. Even if people weren't going onto S2 to ghost into bases, if somebody on S1 had, say, the airfield locked down under their control players would simply go get their loot on S2. This way, S2 will actually be used for RP over loot runs.

This is not a perfect solution, but this is the best solution with the current systems we have in place.

I see that.. perhaps something could be done to stoke the fires of s2 population? make sure they get some nifty events for those brave pioneers that venture there. Eventually a little player base develops.

 

Just a thought, just seems like I would waste my time on it atm (i dont mind playing on either) just that most people I know would rather have access to the primary pool of players and rp.

That's definately something I could get behind, but I'd be looking more at the Lore Master team for events and whatnot

/Biased poll - Changed to a simple "yes" and "no".

As for my opinion - I don't mind having them hived, but also understand how it can severely fuck the economy.

[Alan]

What if the server was wiped monthly like it used to?

[Eagle]

No we've tried it before and people just used it to farm one server or ghost into bases.
