It seems there is never enough people on to get anyting going in there.

Im guessing its only a matter of time till they have triple faction weekends for jade and aspen wood if no one plays them.

Did it twice - first time it was still buggy. Damn Danika wouldn't walk over and open the door, but we killed everything. That's why Kurzicks aren't better than Luxons...buggy missions.

I got a bunch of guildies at Jade then hopped over to house and told em there were Luxons waiting to fight em.

Lots of people wanna play, they just arent there at the same time.

I got to them a day or two ago and they were completely empty. I'm going to wait a few more days/weeks and see if it picks up. A lot of people are still working their way through the storyline. Factions is story-lite so I have hope that there will be more people there soon.

I thought the OP talked about Jade and Fort? I don't think Danika has anything to do with either of them.

He is thinking of the mission with the Urn of Saint Victor, they both have WOOD in them.

I have done Aspenwood about 15-20 times in the last 5 or so days. With Jade Quarry on the other hand there never seems to be anyone there.

I heven't even bothered trying to get to Jade Quarry yet...I know it's just gonna be empty. :/

I've done Fort Aspenwood a couple of times. I basically just wanted to see if it was the same as it was in fpe.

three times. twice fort aspenwood. first we lost, 2nd game we won. I had to go to the german and French districts for these games, there were about 10 people there, instead of 3 at the english district.

Jade quarry: 1 time with the french, which we lost. can't find anyone there.

Jade Quarry is just....empty.

Aspenwood however is quite often available, wait 2 or 3 minutes and most of the time you are able to join a game. This is on Europeantimes (and servers) though.

Funny, in all the past "we need random 8v8" threads I said it was a bad idea and people wouldn't want to put themselves through that frustration, I was shouted down. Looks like I was right.

it's like random arenas, but twice as bad since there are twice as many people...

and you like never get a game - and it takes some form of organisation to win. This sort of thing should not be random

Need better rewards...that's why people aren't playing. If you wanted guild faction you just play Aalliance Battles or solo challenges, no reason to play Jade or Aspen.

I actually think it earns more on these missions then on AB's. The thing is that you win a battle and earn 750 points, but these battles are a lot longer what I have experienced.

And besides that, I like them ^^.

PVP-only need to access it, they are tough areas to get to, especially for just a PvP arena.

The same is largely true of the American servers - probably because you can get more Faction losing at Aspenwood than you can winning at Jade Quarry. I'm surprised how much I'm enjoying Aspenwood (Kurzick side, though my guild is Luxon), even when the team loses. Well, unless someone goes on a tirade.
