8v8 Discussion Thread
They have changed turf takeover to 8v8 to see what it’s like (for lag I bet) what do you lot think.

Agreed. I’m old and not good at all, but I still love playing! TT with Cactus and Dead Beard was my favorite. This week they nerfed their drone/parrot abilities which has made them less fun. Now they’re changing TT to 8v8? There’s a much greater leveling effect in 12v12 compared to 8v8 if one team has 3-4 high level players on it. That’s huge for someone like myself who isn’t good but wants to have fun. I’ll give it a try tonight and see how it is with the new ttk update, but it’s not sounding too good right now.
To be honest, I'm fine with it either way. 12v12 feels grander and chaotic, 8v8 feels a little tighter but overwhelmed by map size. I've not had much lag at all in this game (PC) but I also agree that fixing the actual cause of the lag that people are experiencing would be better than reducing player count to improve it. It's a separate issue that needs a separate solution.
In GW1 after they added the 'bling' packs they had shut down Main Street on regular 12v12 G&G matches but left it in mixed mode which also had G&G but it was 8v8 instead of 12v12 to avoid the lag issues the bling customizations added, at least for a time.
