well...
I reopened my old hibaccs day before yesterday and I really have to say it felt like coming home again when talking to my old guildmates and friends ingame on Prydwen.
The things i really dislike with US are quite few:
The cheating.. omfg! its just nuts, its crawling with them and the community actually seem to just.. accept it. Its totally ****ed up
The community sucks totally, VN is full of people with serious issues and very little on VN is actually constructive, if any at all. FH is a quite flamy forum yes but, many issues are also raised and I also see quite many serious posts if you look between the what trolls type down.
The quality of RvR is far far below what it is in EU, people have craptemplates at high RR and generally just play worse, both in PvE and in RvR. My merc has gotten grappled 4 times now over there and im 6L5 at this time.. that kinda says it all. They just play really really different there. Its far more casual and laidback, but, to cover for skill they instead use every laghax and cheat you possibly can find. Abuse is a part of the game there, which I really really dislike.
The obvious advantage US has over EU is, its directly run by Mythic, and Mythic handles most things except cheaters way way way way better, its a massive difference with ingamesupport and generally I have no problems at all with connection to the servers either while Opentransit is pure ****e.
Moving to US is one way to keep the game alive for oneself, but I also think quite many that go there might be very dissapointed in how the community acts and works there and... This is not a flame but, remember the flaming of Penlid here in EU? Since he admitted he use radar in US, and his reason to use it was, "everybody else use it".. this is something to remember and keep in mind if considering a move to US. It really is that horribly bad. Imagine it to be really bad, then multiply it to 10 and you the reality there, thats how it was for me, I was shocked and still am disgusted with how it is.
If you go solo, expect to be radared down constantly and zerged to hell, if you go with a PuG, expect to be jumped by a rr11group from nowwhere that somehow always get you from behind. If you can live with things like this and dont bother with it much, then US could be ok for you. Otherwise you will be very dissapointed. Hell even the zergs there run with radar to hunt down full groups. This all is for the Kiliburycluster, with Merlin among other servers, I havent played the other clusters so things might be different there, I really dont know.
Running with our guild is still fun for me, we can take on any group there and win but thats all there is to it, I just dont RvR with random groups, even if they are good, since its quite likely that the one leading grp uses radar, which I refuse to acccept and condone by not appealing him asap while running in the group with the person in question.
EU at least condemn cheaters and report them asap, US just /shrug and make a +1post on VN and say that the person complaining about cheaters is a looser and should die irl or cry to mommy... GOA at least have taken a stand versus bugabusing (hello bains for example..) and I believe they actively investigate and ban people that get reported and found guilty. This is actually the one and only single reason to play under GOA today in my opinion, its quite sad but thats how I see it. If Mythic was enforcing their rules more actively and actually gave a **** about abusers and cheaters, I would encourage people to under Mythic instead, but as is I'd say its down to what one values ingame.
