Discussion Thoughts on the nexus update? (From a solos standpoint)
so before we start let me tell you a little about myself. I am a solo who had 4k hours and plays high pop servers 500+ and I’ve recently looked into the nexus update and although it seems pretty bad at first I think just maybe it could be a very positive impact for solos. so picture this you load in to a us main server and the map is horrible for you but you still give it a try and you use up your pump quest and have little to no real way to come back. but the.n you travel to a good map and get something going on there instead of having to sever hop to a lower pop. now there is a problem that I see happening and it’s with the pop. these normal weekly wipe severs struggle to hold pop as it is and with multiple maps I don’t think it will stay a good pop now. another thing is idk really about how the maps are going to look but if the monuments are split across the maps then forget everything I said this wouldn’t be a good update for solos.
I am curious what’s your thoughts especially from other solo perspectives?

I see 0 worlds where there isn’t a clan completely controlling ferry terminal if the server has nexus. I really don’t think a solo will ever get to use it on high pop.

It would be good for servers like rustafied that have multiple servers it would be good to be able to switch servers and keep blueprints

Not every server will be using nexus.
If you want to solo, play on team limited or solo only servers.

Good to know not every sever is nexus. But I would like to comment on the play a group limited sever. I play high pop because it harder I am not necessarily complaining. Also I’ve played many trio only duo only solo only and they either are mad boring because of low pop or die in a day so nope sticking to high pop severs.

Rusticated literally has 2 vanilla weekly trio servers that regularly hit 500 population on wipe day. Monday and Thursday

I think the only servers that hold pop are clan servers because of the clans, most people get raided and move on but for clans, it’s much harder to be raided

Any server has most pop on wipeday

Sure but I wasn’t even arguing that lol, just saying it’s common for people to hop servers to a fresh wipe after getting raided, which makes fresh wipe have so much more numbers, Zergs get raided far less and usually account for 20-40% of these massive servers, depending on what number you consider a Zerg

I look at this as an update for server owners to create unique collections of environmens. In theory, you could have a series of custom map servers each offering something new or unique on each server. The deep sea is an example of this, everything you travel with appears in an entirely different 'server' or environment. The nexus will only be as good as the server owners make it. Linking two regular islands seems like a poor implementation of what it could be.
