Returning Player, some concerns

VioletFoxVioletFox
in New & Returning Player Help
Hi! My friends and I are about to start playing again and I was hoping to have some questions answers first

1) How is the population? I stopped playing a bit after ninja's release and the population was barely tolerable (CS queues were abyssmal) and tried coming back a few months later to find the game completely dead or completely void of tanks/healers (literally sat in highwatch queuing for 40 minutes on mt. tyrannus)

2)other than the new major gear revamp and class, are there any major changes to mechanics I should know about?

3) I remember Lancer being super satisfying to play (with its counterattack and such) but extremely underpowered, has it been buffed to be more on par with other tanks (same with zerker both tank and dps, which was my main before ninja release)

    Another question) what servers are most populated? is it still MT and TR?

    And I see berserker got some nice QoL changes, how well does it perform now? especially for tanking

    Tanks will always be rare and far between in IMS (note IMS is cross server). CS queues are non existent because of power hours. However, I have seen some more success IMSing dungeons nowadays (although you can't expect 4 stars to pop) because more mats from dungeons are needed to upgrade. Regardless, considering you are in the forums during non-peak times, I don't think you will get the same result as compared to when you are playing in actual NA peak times.

    Berserker got more QoL for dps. Tankwise the changes aren't significant for it to be viable for fast clear tanking due to no infuriate, second rate debuffs and no dps.

    I posted off of peak hours because it was a late decision to try the game again, I'm around during peak hours too :p and what do you mean by power hours in CS?

    finding tanks shouldnt be hard, my 2 friends and i are planning on each being a different role, i wanted to zerker tank but if it still cant hold aggro i guess lancer it is
