1. what do u do about teams that dont cap and keep on running into mobs when they are losing.

2. does the lux have less players compared to kurz? or is that just a rumor.

1. nothing.

2. most of the time yes, but luxons hop on teambuilder and arrange organized serious business AB builds on ventrilo so that slows things down.

1. hope they are on the other side

2. yes. hopefully this will change with the nerf to the uberfast kurzick hfff.

Actually, nerfing HFFF is only making the situation worse since more Kurzick players will gravitate towards AB after their easy faction supply was cut off. This week I personally observed about 2:1 Kurzick-Luxon disparity on the neutral map, meaning that Luxons got to fight end to end while Kurzick teams faced a 10 minute wait time between every match.

What to do with sucky allies? /facepalm then go on a rampage and kill as many enemies as you can before the timer runs out. That way you'll at least get some good faction.

If a team behaves in a counterproductive manner the only thing you can do is nicely ask them to stop mobdiving, chasing tanks or whatever it is that they do, raging at them will only piss them off and probably make them play even worse

There definatly seems to be much more kurzicks in ab than before. I played on Kaanai as luxon earlier today and we never had to wait more than about a min for a game.

I dunno why there's more kurzicks than luxons in the game. Not much that can be done about it other than changing sides.

1. Shout at them.
2. I'd hazard a guess that their are less Luxon players than Kurzick. I'd loosely associate this to the gothic/dark-ish style of the Kurzicks being more appealing to the larger majority of gamers compared to pseudo-pirates.

1. What tmakinen said ... or just don't pug it if you don't like the chaos that comes with it.

2. Yep more kurzicks, although I don't have any figures as well. I doubt it'll change even after the Allegiance re-balance, since most are already on their way to higher ranks and starting all over isn't very attractive.

1. Kill them

2. Kurzicks are more numerous because Luxons would rather plant gardens and trim their fingernails and pet their turtles and get killed by the glorious Kurzick armada.

1) Laugh at them, ridicule their builds, insult their heritage. Doesn't matter which side they're on.

2) There's less Luxons, we simply don't need as much fodder.

is there a reason for less luxons? and does the luxons take ab more serious than kurz do? since kurz lose alot. im with kurz tho

2 Main Reasons for a higher amount of Kurzicks than Luxons:

1) All the kids on GW want to have 'Gothic Batman Warrior Armor'. For whatever reason, the kids equate the gothic look of the Kurzicks as completely badass (maybe a goth kid pissed in their Emo-puffs this morning, who knows). I admit to owning Elite Kurzick Armor for my Warrior (the aforementioned 'Gothic Batman'), but that is because imho, it looks better than the Elite Luxon 'Coral/Crabshell Predator' look... (especially the Helm... Anubis > Yautja) This also explains why even when you roll into AB with an arranged team, the other 2/3 of your team can commit Epic Fail on a regular basis - they don't understand the game mechanics, or tactics. They are kids, with nary a brain cell between the 8 of them.

2. For people trying to get a quick title, the HFFF run on the Kurzick side was way more efficient. This being the case, and there being 3 and a half years worth of farmed cash in the GW economy, many people make a profit by running Survivor Title Hunters or Kurzick Faction Title Hunters in Fort Aspenwood. But, as said before, even with the rebalance of the different ways to gain Kurz/Luxon Faction, many people are too close to reaching max Kurzick rank to break away and work on their Luxon rank yet.

Once I get my Kurzick rank maxed, it will be time to swap to Luxon. Hopefully, all the grovelling, snot-nosed brats that populate the Kurzick side won't follow, being too lazy to work on another long Title Track. I know that it frustrates me to no end to see 2/3 of my team in AB screaming about the 'Suxons' while running, time and time again, into a well-arranged Luxon team only to get summarily slaughtered... and not have the intelligence to avoid them when they respawn... Grenth help me, lend me your patience...

why dont they ever rank the ab battles like they did with heros

Tyla · Nov 22, 2008, 06:39 PM // 18:39

Because like RA, it's pretty random. You've got 3 random teams on each side.
