Svarty.8019 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Oh right. Anyway, I just thought I'd pop in and mention that it might be an idea to change the way the FULL status is determined because it's clearly causing some enormous problems. Someone on my server said that the developers stated, "We can't force people to play." If players aren't playing, they shouldn't be contributing to the FULL status - seems obvious, right? How about that happens? For Christmas, for Thor, for the Flying Spaghetti Monster (all hail His noodly appendages)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEVER! Why would the devs post "posts referencing play hours", and then state something akin to, "our system doesn't work when players don't play"? Clearly there's some significant disparity between the point of measurement and the actual playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s true! BG really needs our help! And it’s the best time of year to do it! BG always gives back to the community, and entire game, 10 fold, but sometimes they need some luv and support too!

Well that may be true... Of course, I think we’ve seen more ‘Piken is soooo abused’ threads over the last few months.. I think some of the BG ones are so they don’t feel left out....

Arctisavange.7261 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Well in all fairness Piken hasnt had a linking since umm..yeah that long, its been ages since i saw Piken with a link. I would understand Piken not having a link due to being a bandwagon server but that hasnt been the case for a very very long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

googel.3278 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 i heard piken is full of role players, maybe if you ask them to stop flaunting their pixels in LA and help out with keeps, would be better. only use for these role players is to be a meat shield!

As a reminder to everyone, we should never request servers to be opened and should never request specific links as that would be against forum rules. Which, for the third time, still amazes me that the FA one, and the BG one were closed and this one is still opened. Evidently those who like to report these things are enjoying this thread too much lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gloflop.3510 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 My assumption is that threshold from which onwards a server is considered as "full" was decreased manually by anet to fight players stacking on few servers. I have been monitoring the number of medium servers (EU only) for some time now. We had 15 of them during September and October. However, in November the number decreased to 12 and it is now at 13. I myself play on fsp. If I judge by the number of maps which have a queue or the number of players in a queue, I would say that the number of players rather declined than increased (we are in a t1 matchup, so a server-linkage with many players). Thus, my assumption of a manual decrease of the threshold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they disbanded so many times him//her ? Because you know so much about PS but I do not believe you are not in that server. Ahh. Nope. Don’t know anyone on Piken. Know people on the evil empire. That server that shall remain nameless has received this treatment for the past 2 years, opening twice, and receiving links on 4 occasions during that time. And each time, they were flamed on this forum. I won’t flame Piken. But I certainly feel like they should be treated no differently than any full server.

NaramSin.2693 Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 Well at the end I've found the "Magic ArenaNet Algorithm" for WvW servers, after 2 other Guilds left Piken (PSTSG and ARMA) I can finally reveal the code: public bool ServerFull(string Servername) { if (Servername == "Piken") return true; else return Server.IsFull() ; } Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
