Hi all,
In the past, i liked to level my char and make a stop at levels 18/19, 28/29, and so on. Just to make BG with a good stuff (not top stuff, but decent one), and practice in pvp the new skills i learnt the last 10 levels, and once fine, i continue leveling for 10 more levels.
I'm on Zeth'Kur, and with my hunter lv29, it's sad to see that one of my preferred pleasure is half-broken because there are not enough low lv players doing BG. I already saw 10vs10 in warsong, but it happened 1 or 2 ...
I have already a part of the answer : level up and come to play in the final BG once u'll be lv60.
Also, i don't know if it's technically possible or easy to share at least all the low level BG between the servers (yes, the cross server BG), but this could solve the problem. For the high levels BG, if there are sufficient players, then no need to cross the servers) - but would it be possible, and would it require a lot of work for the admin ?
And here's my idea : on the main page of the Elysium site, put something visible named, for instance "Low level BG daily happy hours", and propose from 1 to 3 hours when people who like to BG with a low level char have more luck to find full BG and not empty ones. It's just a matter of time before almost all understand the principle. Just be clear with the hour relative to the timezone. (like here, i'm in UTC +1 like Bruxelles, Paris ... )
Also, in the small article you could write to explain that, you can ask the players to advertise about this, just to inform other BG players that there are "preferred hours" to do BG, and linking to the url on the elysium site (if in place, I would copy/paste a standard text to all BG participants saying : "if you like BG with your low level char., check https://elysium-project.org/xxxxx page for more info. We try to find common "happy fighting hours" in order to prevent the low level BG to be empty" ... well, u understand the principle.
At least, a recommandation if it works or if it can be achieved: once you are in the BG, imagine that we are 5 vs 7, it's still possible to tchat on the LFG channel and ask for reinforcements to connect to the BG. I just tried and, maybe it's hasard, but 3 arrived a bit after. So my question is : when a BG is not filled, can anybody join ? or at least, he can join only if the number of players in his team is not already higher than the opponent team ? (that would sound logical that you cant enter a BG where your faction is already at 8 when the others are less than that, but it's just a supposition)
Well, if you have other ideas to promote the low level BG, go on, it was just a reflexion on my side and the fact that I'm missing doing 10vs10 warsong BG (ok, at lv60 it'll be easier to find, but it's not the point)
BTW, well done to the team who manage the servers, hope Blibli won't require you one day to shutdown them - the real interrest in these servers for me is the fact that the game is at a decent difficulty level, i left wow partially because it was too easy, no challenge no fun.
