Fooma posted:Where the heck are you seeing Exile bias? The biggest beta group has been on Dominion, and if this thread is any indication, Dominion is leaning to be the higher pop group at launch. There may well be an Exile group, but I'm sure as hell staying away from it from what I've seen of the early levels. Pretty much all MMO's post WoW 1.0, the generically evil side always had more players.

I think the Exiles are fantastic I just don't want to associate with people who roll Aurin unironically. It's still cool to have two guilds though it's not like this game will have supersecretopsecspvp.

The emperor's hologram is even gold. Who would the Space Libertarians be in 40k? Dark Eldar? Do what feels good and murder the rest.

Iron Tusk posted:Pretty much all MMO's post WoW 1.0, the generically evil side always had more players. Well in WoW's case the Horde are less evil and just  MISUNDERSTOOD . From what I played in the beta the Dominion are just a bunch of assholes that want to rule the galaxy so I appreciate them being actually evil. And there's absolutely nothing misunderstood about the Chua. They are straight up evil genius psychopaths.

I didn't choose the goon server with my first guy but I don't want to remake just to sit around alone. Then again maybe at this point it's better to just gently caress off and wait for headstart. I'm going to be super casual about this poo poo anyway.

CrashCat posted:I was going to disagree, but you see, the Android app doesn't show reg dates by default... Open Beta actually serves the best opportunity to remake, at least in my opinion. I dunno what super casual entails, but if it involves anything like finishing all of the path quests in a zone or doing any crafting, when there's a wipe coming, it's kind of a deterrent doing any of the "chorish" stuff outside of learning how it works. I don't mind running around the entire area searching for tiny little areas to drop flags, but I'm not doing it when I'm on a pressing time limit to make an educated decision at launch. It's not like at this point you're going to be able to get to Level 50 and try out the 20-man raid before the wipe, if you're currently a low level. Best to try out all the classes and whatnot.

Every single time goons decided to split into several different guilds, the eventual bleed of players who the game failed to really grab left most or all of these guilds half-empty and unable to get enough people to do endgame content. I think it would be better to just have a poll and then whichever side wins is the side that everyone plays. I'd be a bit sad to not get to play a race that I like if the vote is not in the favor of the side I prefer, but I think it's more important to have a large and active guild that survives past the first month or two.

So if the decision was to do the guild on a PvE server, you could conceivably have characters on both sides, in two guilds because you're allowed to roll both factions on a PvE server it seems. Doesn't seem like you can (or you couldn't from what I remember) roll both sides on a PvP server

Which is something, at least. I'm kind of torn too, because I like the Mordesh and Granok, and the Chua. So I'm covered any way.

That was a rhetorical question, I knew the answer  I just think that rolling both sides will lead to two half-dead guilds. First the initial first-month rush of players will leave, and then  will get mad at not having enough geared people for raids and leave for some tryhard guild. Or at least that's my experience with splintered goon guilds in MMOs.

Might as well just relax, play what you want, and reevaluate if and when the masses start migrating. Waiting until the 30/60 day departure begins doesn't really work. Not many people are going to be ready to reroll a max level character, or pay for a server transfer, and as a result even more players end up leaving. To be honest, I doubt there will even be enough players here for two high population guilds to begin with. Given the need for a larger guild in this game, I'd vote for 1 guild, and everyone who wants to play a different faction or server type should find a big public guild that matches what they want. You shouldn't be forced to play something you don't want to, but trying to cater to everyone's preferences will just lead to 3 dead guilds and 1 half dead guild before the second month is up.

I remember back during WoW launch, there were plenty in goon squad who made racist jokes and rape jokes and harassed the few female players with really awkward flirting or expressed their frustrated virginal hatred of women in the form of misogynistic "jokes." One officer would resort to demoting or gkicking the female players just to rile them up whenever his stupid remarks in guildchat weren't working.
