The EU2-Server is crap and since eu5 is without banner balance it is empty all the time. Which freaks me out, because i am experiencing laggspikes on every server...i really don't need laggs on the only played siege-server when i don't have them.

*bump*
Srsly...noone plays siege without banner balance. EU2 is full all the time and eu 5 empty.

The community has spoken if what you say is true.

Before they changed the settings we could decide if we join eu 5 or eu 2. Now we have to go on battle-servers sometimes, because eu 5 is no longer an option! x_X
(Although battle is fun from time to time =P)

Soooooooooooooooo...............
Just like all those people asking for a melee only server, which are always empty....
All those people asking to turn BB off... have a server with it off... and it is always empty...
I have an enormous smug smile on my face right now. Not gonna lie... It is pretty dang huge....

Its simple really. EU5 is empty 95% of the time since the BB turned off. And EU2 is laggy as fuck when its 100+ players.
-
while battles are funny even in 8vs8, siege is really silly with less than 30-40 players... that's why eu_5 is empty.

Nope. It was pretty easy to get EU5 full before the removal of BB. I joined the server when there were no other players and after some minutes there were at least 10. And sooner or later there would be more. Now there is no reason for me to do that, because i will always play with randoms who don't know shit about playing siege, so i'd rather wait on little battle-servers with my clanmates until we are enough to join EU2 (Which is awful because it laggs big time, like tot said).

Agreed, whenever I play on 5 I get requests from people asking for banner balance to be turned on. Like fips said, it's usually dead, maybe banner balance wil spark some life into it.

That was mainly silly randomers. Nobody with a properly functioning brain wanted BB to be off.

No one actually wants banner balance turned off no matter how hard it unbalances the game because people want their multiplier. With BB one can at least hope to be autobalanced to the "clan" side (or the goodclan side if there's more than one) and expect a decent return on XP. Without BB and with actually fair teams neither side gets a multiplier and no one wants to play, which is why CRPG is one of the only competitive multiplayer games where it's common practice for the balancer to place a full set of preformed players onto one side and a full set of randoms on another.
Much like many other aspects of this game very few care about balance, most care about maximal personal gain.
It's as much a side effect of the XP system as any other factor though.

this.

In addition: IF you turn BB back on at EU5 pls reduce EU2 to 100 players. Its so fucking annoying when its lagging so hard.
SIEGE IS LAGGING WITH 120 PLAYERS.... IT IS LAGGING LIKE HELL!!! HELLO DEVS???? DO YOU HEAR ME??? LAAAAAAAAG!!!!!
-
On both servers ( EU2 and EU5 )should be placed banner balance and both reduced to 80 players = everybody is happy, full both servers and reduced lag. :mrgreen:
-
What could be done is that after EU5 has its banner balance back is to change friendly fire settings to, say, 50% reflective. And lets see where people would prefer to be playing.

reflective FF i like! and with 80 players cap there shouldn't be teamwounds by lag so.. i agree.
back to the bannerbalance debate, i hard complained about it in the past. i changed my mind... now i just fire up the banner of the moment and enjoy a good teamplay more than the endless x5. but yes i have to admit my main and all my alts wear the grey's banner most of the time. but i really enjoy playing with em or HRE so... lets do it.
