Balthazzarr.1349 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 It seems odd to me that a bunch of guilds left SoS at a time when it wasn't 'full'... but it's full now? ... and another big guild just left SoS to go to Borlis Pass. Please do NOT make this into a matchup thread because it isn't meant to be that... I just don't understand how a server can become full AFTER a bunch of guilds leave...

Ubi.4136 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Looks like 5 worlds now "full". Not sure how they calculate that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lahmia.2193 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Probably because the algorithm for server size is based on play time of characters rather than the actual amount of people on the server. And will take a while to kick in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XenesisII.1540 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Because [Cook] left Mag for SoS and lobster top hat probably brought all their golems with them so that's why you're full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ugrakarma.9416 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 SoS, later hours the EBG is fully qeued with 14 + ppl, I do not understand much of timezones, so I'll explain in mine that it's GMT -3, its somewhere around 3:00 ~ 6:00 AM for me, that big qeues starts.

And will take a while to kick in. When I talk about people "leaving the server" I am talking about the groups that actually play WvW. I don't know who the guild [Cook] is but I assume they come online when I'm not there?? Ah well, it is what it is... just makes me wonder is all...

Optimator.3589 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Molasses (COOK leader) is worth half a map queue by himself with his next-level strategies, so when you combine that with Lobster golemanding...yeah, you guys are definitely full now.

BadMed.3846 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Molasses is such an adorable, cuddly teddy....look after him. All he would ask for is "Bubbles". Cook is a nice pug friendly guild. I've ran with them on Mag. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Israel.7056 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Supposedly they use total player hours within a given time frame not the actual number of players on the server. Presumably SOS has been generating pretty large numbers of player hours of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krypto.2069 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Yeah, [Cook] is a BLAST! :+1: Thanks for coming to SoS! :+1: And Lobster is a HOOT with his Golem Army! **VERY** FUN STUFF! :smiley: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please do NOT make this into a matchup thread because it isn't meant to be that... I just don't understand how a server can become full AFTER a bunch of guilds leave... There are a few things to point out. Server status is not updated instantly, so everyone can leave a server and it wont change the status for some time. This was done to make it harder for servers to open up by simply dropping activity and reducing the amount of people participating in WvW. Also, activity now counts for more when calculating status, so a server can be really active in one timezone for a few hours and dead the rest of the day and can be labeled full. And for those that don't know "Full" does not literally mean the server is at capacity, it is just a simple way of saying the server is over the set threshold that the devs impose on ALL servers. Once a server goes over that threshold, it is labeled full but it doesnt mean it has the same population or level of activity as other full servers.

That's not how it works, and personal perception is irrelevant because none of us have access to the data and metrics that the devs do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
