How is miller these days?


I've been back and forth now since PS2 came out due to hardware problems with the game
They are now fixed and things are getting solved so now finally i get time to play again

And my impression of last night was that of Werner in 2007-2009, sure there where fights but not really great ones

I might have been unlucky who knows, but how is miller health?

Btw: Hello old werner peeps

Hey Zargas.

I think Miller is fine. Pops are ok and way different from Werner back then. You must have been unlucky.

Most of the alerts are pretty damn boring though, most of the time people don't seem to care about winning them so one faction just gets to dominate.

I think it's actually worse being online during an alert since it A: Stops you dead in your tracks from doing what you were doing, B: If one faction is overpopped the whole thing goes out the window and C: Fuck biolab alerts, just fuck 'em.

It's still suffering from a TR overpopulation, stop breeding like rabbits please. Global populations often hit the 39-40% ranges during alerts and sometimes even at prime time. At off-hours it tends to be even worse.

Biggest culprit of course being the 4th factioners hopping over as soon as an alert begins.

Agreed on all three points.

Indeed, SOE needs to put in some form of restriction.

While this is correct, i can't wait to see their reaction to getting double teamed by VS, NC once global conquest comes in

No need to worry, we had *years* of that on Werner.

I really don't get why they haven't already. Warhammer Online had a pretty nice system which allowed you to do a faction switch only once every eight hours. Worked pretty well from my experience with the game. Maybe eight hours is bit excessive (especially since in WAR the timer started when you logged out) as for most players it basically is a 24hours lockout. But something along those lines could work.

Here's my reaction: Oh No! Amazing fights with huge (yet equal) pops! As odd as it sounds, it's getting harder and harder to find a (good) fight.

Higby has stated that any form of faction-swapping restriction simply wouldn't work because it would leave paying players at a disadvantage (free skaters just switch accounts for an alert).

As for the state of Miller, besides the imbalances it's fine and still the best server in the game.

Higby is not always right, and making it as difficult as possible for people to faction switch is still worth it. Even if it makes people create new accounts to do it, so be it, but this "Log off, choose alt char, login" ease of which people do it is ridiculous.

As for the Offline certs that require you to "login" to get, just make it so you get them when you login to your account (on all your alts) rather than logging into the actual character into the game.

Re: How is miller these days?


Wow. A Biolab alert just ended. TR: 41, VS: 29, NC: 30 percent world pop... That's about 724 TR players, 488 NC and 475 VS.
Did the BF4 beta end or something? I has been bad before but I somehow got the feeling like it hasn't been that bad recently during alerts. Or did I just play at the "right" times and "missed out" on those Biolab alerts?

Personal i think Miller turned into absolute "redeployside" during the maintimes....

Like zergs of 90+ ppl deploying just around the map, there is no real fight there is no progressing... ether you stay alone in a base or get crashed by 90+, the only valid strategy seems to gather a public platoon redeploy them all around the map....

I really love to deploy direct in a galaxy, but for the sake of good gameplay i think they need to remove this option again -.-
