To start off, This counts for both PvE and PvP.

On an average day, The EU server is mostly active during a certain time varying from 11AM - 10PM GMT. (It may be more during weekends.)
Whereas the US server is active throughout the day. The time allows European players like me to attend Lockdown matches/PVE; yes.

Let's look at the case of someone living in the middle east. George is on vacation with his parents in the middle east. George gets latencies at the US server, so EU server works better for him. But then he finds out that the European server is not active, He goes to the US server only to find that he gets massive lags and intense latencies.

The Middle East is not the only factor here, There are many other countries in which European servers serve better compared to the US server.

According to the above two examples, Even some parts of Europe has to wait until the EU server is active.

So i tell you, My friends. Let's make the European server more active. This is a request; Starting from today. I want ALL EU players, and the people of countries in which European servers serve better, to queue in LD, or start PvE runs no matter what. Let's make this dream come true!

I always play on the Yooruopeeuhn servers. Well, almost. LD is usually active enough for it to be joinable and I don't like PUGing because well, some people are downright stupid and others are plain rude. The 90 or so in my guild and another 80 on my friends list is usually enough.

I didn't get you, I never mentioned that it will attract more people in here. I just wanted people to make the EU server, Which is not-so-active, Active.

(You posted that comment right before i posted mine!) I know, I live in Europe and i find it active on MOST days. But for others, They find it hard to play in the US server.

Last I played on the American side of Lockdown I was humiliated, to the point where I got fed up with playing. And that only took about two-to-three games.

I support this wholeheartedly as I am nocturnal, and as such rarely find the time of day to play during our peak of activity. Nothing's like waking up at 10 PM (nocturnal, hello?) only to find that European Lockdown is dying down, and all my friends go to sleep. (Well, the ones I'm closest to.) 'Tis quite sad, as I would like to be able to play with more of my fellow Europeans. And go to stores for a snack past 11 PM... Erm.

In any case, +1.

Impervious is like 60/40 with majority being EU. It's not so bad in LD, there's just no such thing as dodging. I will support this!

Well I'm fine with the EU

Well I'm fine with the EU server as it is now.

Isn't 4vs4 LD cleaner?
I'd rather have 4vs4 matches than getting more Polaris people from out side of EU.

I will never win this game without you without you! I am lost =0

No lets not first off:

1. Most Middle-Eastern Players etc. Rather play on the US server it has less lag for them. ( I asked about 5 to 8 players who play from this area of the world)

2. In terms of Eu Lockdown it is the cleanest lockdown in this game the Eu players understand spaming polaris etc. is not how to win games.

3. All the EU GvG guilds dislike when we have to deal with polaris spamming guilds since they ruin our fun.

Actually gota agree with

Actually gota agree with Njthug...

I have a heck of a time fighting off the polaris skolvers since a lot of people can't seem to deal with them (still wonder why they dont just use gunner gear if polaris is 90% of their attack).

It is really nice not having to deal with that save for only one person I've found so far in EU, and he has enough sense to wear shadowsun when he does it.

I'd rather a larger latency dodging ability then deal with 3 Jempires polarising me with their max sword asi and damage.

Maybe VLD should be manditory in EU :)

@Njthug :
I strongly disagree with you. I am a Middle-Eastern myself, and EU server is far better for me than the frickish US server. Plus, you can't say most, basically because you only asked a mere 8 players, which is very little amount of players to be tested on.

Njthug was saying how awesome EU was compared to USA, and that he didnt want USA players to join and corrupt it... ???

@Blueflood :
Was that for me? If it is, I was talking about point 1 in Njthug's post, which I find completely wrong.

Mmmkay

I'm usually active late at night too.

Either add me ingame or /whisper me and I will gladly join the LD queue.
I fully agree with Shidara, nothing more fun than 4vs4 late at night.
(Also: this is when most of the annoying spam/AT-combo players are gone, much cleaner, much more fun.)
