Re: Is reward model driving current population inbalance

To me if there is a significant downside on blobbing (reduced crests, rr, damage ..) the organised warband will likely be much more active to avoid having followers and start to police their warbands to not have followers unless needed (other side blobbing) A part of me wants to believe that if AAO...

Re: Is reward model driving current population inbalance

if we are gonna keep it just slightly on topic, of the reward system and what effects it has on player behaviour :roll: One issue with orvr is that if we have the strict "only the winning side is getting rewarded" model, then people truely will winnerjoin Xrealm bandwagon (talking in gener...

Re: Is reward model driving current population inbalance

The proposed solutions have pretty much all been attempted in RoR history i think. Malus where the overpopulated side were getting 1 rp, was a system where you punish the realmloyalists for logging onto their main realm, which from time to time happend to be massively outnumbering. Not healthy. With...

[Tome tactic] Mainquest for progression midtier

Hello, RoR removed the pvp-tactic slots but left the Tometactic slot in. And many new players over the years have asked in Advice chat what this tometactic slot is for. How about we actually make something fit into that slot on RoR, something neat and interesting but not overly gamebreaking. I sugge...

Re: Twisted Tower - faction scenario pug behavior and observations

With the trend over many years shifting more into playerkilling and farming kills instead of doing the objetives and try to "win" the scenarios, Twisting tower deffo adds some new flavor, thats for sure. The explosion paried with three party size and then the low procentage of playerbase u...

Re: [BW] The fireclown

Your obsession with Close Quarters worries me a bit (every gravord stream I watched...) and I wouldn't want to lose it for pve tbh. That being said, a tactic to channel Annihilation/Disastrous Cascade on the move might just fall into that beautiful level of 'not mandatory, but viable alternative ta...

Re: The Ability System Rewrite & Provisional Patch Notes

Thanks for the informationbomb lol! Very interesting apporach with closing down the main server and opening up a test server to stresstest. thats a new approach. The attempt to first scrape off all the years of RoR bandaid balance adjustments all at once down to a 1.8.4 foundation and then reapplyin...

Re: The 3 major issues of the game

If crossrealming is bad for the game, then that is only in the cases of when players use it to "winnerjoin" and bandwagon onto the momentum holding realm. if xrealming was not exsisting, then we would see even more empty keeptakes and 3:1 outnumbering fortresses. The game even promotes cro...

Re: [Brightwizard] Bombling's compendium

Live event & future BW gearing notice: For the Live event ongoing atm. Crafting a version of the Sapphire Annulus ring seem like a BIS jewel to replace either Genesis or if you are running with a "standalone" Ring like the Nehekharan Icon of Knowledge for the 15int 33magicpower. As for...
