[Weekend Warfront: The Struggle of Nordenwatch]

Along the rain-scoured coast of Nordland, spring is not a blessing. For while the end of winter signals a return of the growing season, it also heralds the thawing of the Sea of Claws. Now all eyes turn to the white foamed waves, searching for the first sign of invaders. It doesn't take long.

A sharp shout goes up from the watchtower moments before a harsh bell begins to toll. Norse sails have been spotted on the horizon. War is coming, and the only hope that the people of Nordland have is that their defenders are well prepared.



This weekend The Struggle of Nordenwatch will be the weekend warfront from 12:00 on Friday to 12:00 on Monday Altdorf time. You get +50% XP and Renown in the Nordenwatch scenario, and extra rewards from completing the event tasks.

Complete all tasks to earn a unique title.

[Ranked Solo]

- Abort 5v5 matches, and also add a message explaining why the match is aborted.
- Discrepancies in item costs between Triumphant and Victorious sets were fixed.

[Live events]

- Lowered the time you can get rewards for old live events to 20 days to avoid overflowing the live event herald interface.

[Mail]

- Refactored some mail code to avoid having mails sometimes getting lost until a server restart.

[Misc]

- Another fix for getting sent to capital city when using a portal, with the "Winds of change blow strongly ..." message

[Quests]

- Sharing a quest will now give you a lot more information. For every member in your group it will tell you why or why not the quest was offered to them. (e.g. Out of Range, Already has quest, Questlog full) The recipient will be given the quest offer window in which they can chose to accept or decline a quest.

- Quest givers will now no longer give an orange hand icon for the quest when the quest objectives have been completed.

[Items]

- Work on weapon scaling is starting with T4 Epic Quest weapons

Item scaling has been implemented for some time across all other gear except for weapons, this gives us a formula to work with when creating any new sets to keep power levels reasonable and more importantly, keeping the power curve relatively low as you progress into end-game. Weapons were never implemented on this scale, and as a result most end-game weapons have not seen much scaling at all, mostly being various copies of Subjugator. As work in this progresses, new sets of weapons will have updated Item Levels, DPS values, and Stats. Approximately 38 different sets of weapons will be implemented from Lair Boss weapons, all the way up to Sovereign Epic weapons.

[Auction House]

- Cleaned up some of the auction house interactions which should now give you better error messages when interacting with it.

Note: As a test, there's currently less strict match making in Solo Ranked.
Update: Bracket size now set to max 450 MMR difference. So some match making, but less strict than before.

Testing with 1100 INT and damage buff from the pet, unmitigiated, Dissolving Mist deals about 700 damage every 2s at the third stage of the damage ramp. This should make this 13pt spec ability less trivial for PvP uses, but will still be monitored over the next patch to see if it is still over/underperforming.

[Weekend Warfront: Battle at the Cairn]

The land of Ulthuan seems to have been built on tragedy. Some tragedies come from without, and are guided by neither malice nor whim. Others are manufactured and forced upon their victims like deadly poisons. The tale of the Brothers Blackcairn, Elthryril and Lothelryel, is one such tragedy. Lothelryel made a pact with Morathi to betray his brother, Elthryril. Using Morathi's magics, Lothelryel sought to take control of his line and follow Malekith. Yet it was Lothelryel who was deceived. The magic that would have imprisoned his brother entrapped both of them, even as their blades guaranteed their mutual destruction.

In places the rage and hatred of familial betrayal have seeped into the land, turning the sites of ancient struggles into magical wellsprings of dark power. Now a new battle erupts as Order and Destruction forces vie for control of the Blackcairn Estate.



This weekend the Battle at the Cairn will be the weekend warfront from 12:00 on Friday to 12:00 on Monday Altdorf time. You get +50% XP and Renown in the Blood of the Black Cairn scenario, and extra rewards from completing the event tasks.

Welcome to Season 1 of Return of Reckoning's Ranked Scenarios!

[Ranked Scenarios]

Note from the Devs
Return of Reckoning has always had a strong and resilient six-versus-six community. These matchups were initially arranged by players in the lakes. Later, 6v6 scenarios were added to facilitate making matches easier.
These matches have been extremely exciting to watch. Metagames formed around bringing the best six-man team you can put together, friendships were created that would last many years.
Many developers that have worked on balance on Return of Reckoning, past and present, have looked to the 6v6 community for their incredible wisdom and game knowledge.
Seeing tournaments like Bitterbowl and others have been a huge inspiration to us in developing ranked scenarios.

Today, we'd like to announce that Season 1 has started. We hope it was worth the wait!

[Ranked Scenario Overview]

Ranked Scenarios are a 6v6 deathmatch engagements in a variety of maps for players who are level 40 and above.
- You can queue for Ranked Scenarios in two ways: Ranked (Solo), and Ranked (Premade*).
Solo:
- This mode can only be queued up by yourself.
- You can still queue for it in a party, but you must not queue as a group. You cannot queue for this scenario while in a Warband.
- A strict 2-2-2 (Tank, Healer, DPS) composition is enforced here.
- There are no trainers within the ranked solo scenarios. You must queue with the spec you are expecting to play in the match.
- Certain archetypes are unable to change gear while they are queued up within a ranked solo scenario queue. They are additionally restricted from changing gear during the match.
- The matchmaker will match an equal amount of ranged DPS with the enemy's number of ranged DPS. For example, if two melee players are queued on one faction and two ranged players are queued on the opposite faction, the matchmaker will not generate a match between these players.

Premade:
- This mode can only be queued up when you are in a party of 6.
- No restrictions apply to group composition, tactic loadout, or gear loadout. You may additionally respec within these matches.
- There are trainers so you may adapt to your enemy team's composition within these matches.
- There is minimal matchmaking done within this queue.

-You may only queue for Ranked scenarios if you have an item level of 45 or higher in each of your armor slots, including the Belt slot.
-Each kill is worth 50 points. The scenario ends when 500 points are earned by each team.
-A flag is present in the center of all 6v6 maps. The flag has a 50 second capture time and is not intended as the primary win condition. Instead, its presence is to end the match in case the enemy team gives up.
-A notification is displayed in text and sound to everyone in the match upon interacting with the flag. This is to avoid ninja capping as we saw happen in pre-season.

*NOTE: Premade Ranked is currently disabled to prevent abusing the lack of participants. We have a solution in the works and will enable Premade Ranked Scenarios when the solution is implemented.

[Ranked Scenario Seasons]
-A ranked scenario season will last a varying length of time each time one is announced. For Season 1, the length will be 6 weeks.
-As you play games, you will obtain a matchmaking rating. This rating is unique to both queue types and is used to track your performance within matches. Your performance in Solo will have no bearing on your Premade rating and vice versa.
-Matchmaking rating will additionally be used to pair players together of similar matchmaking rating in the Solo queue type.
-The longer time elapses without a queue pop, the more matchmaking is expanded for that player to additional ranges.
-At the start of a season, your matchmaking rating is completely reset to the default value, 1500, and everyone must re-obtain their rating. If a player does not have a matchmaking rating, they are assumed to have 1500.

[Ranked Scenario Rewards]
-A new emblem currency has been introduced for Ranked Scenario game modes: Victorious Emblems.
-Winning a match will result in a gain of 20 emblems at maximum. Losses will result in a maximum of 5. The amount rewarded is based on your match participation and the length of the match.
-Every Monday, you will receive between 1 and 750 tokens depending on your matchmaking rating at the end of the week, and number of games played for that week as long as you have played 5 games per week.
-Ranked has a significantly higher Renown/XP gain than normal scenarios. XP can be used to level your guilds even at 40.
-Victorious Emblems are used to purchase unique gear during a season.
-Vendors have been added to the War Quarter in Altdorf for Order, and to The Undercroft in The Inevitable City.
-In order to qualify for the vendors, you must have 60 Games Played for the CURRENT season. If you have the currency, but not the match requirement for the currently active season you will receive an error message telling you how many more games you need to play to be able to qualify.
-If there is no currently active season, you will be unable to purchase rewards. Please make sure to purchase rewards by the end of the season.
-The price of the gear is dependent on your current matchmaking rating at the time of using the vendor. As you progress through the season you may see the merchant prices fluxuate. The prices may seem high at first, but remember, you need 60 matches to be able to qualify for rewards and can always improve your rating.

[Weekend Warfront: Battle of Ekrund]

The ancient Gates of Ekrund guard the only mountain pass that is wide enough to accommodate an army. For the Dwarfs, recapturing these gates and sealing them shut is of vital importance in stemming the greenskins' tide of destruction. However the greenskins remain relentless in their attempts to break through.



This weekend the Gates of Ekrund will be the weekend warfront from 12:00 on Friday to 12:00 on Monday Altdorf time. You get +50% XP and Renown in this scenario, and extra rewards from completing the event tasks.

[Abilities]

- Attempt to fix an issue causing Shadow Warrior stance to drop randomly

- Edited some Level requirements on spec abilities tooltip from Ror made abilties . This caused some abilties to turn red even if they were accessible.

- Finished to fix all projectile speed on ranged abilities. They almost all had a longer flight time than intended.

- Fixed an issue causing Sov and warlord 8 pc abilities not being removed after unequip one of the set piece.

- Builded new Granted Item Ability for Sov , Alt Sov and Warlord. In addition of current 8 pc ability bonus, the following new abilities will be dispatched between the 3 royals set (one on each royal set):
[Healers]

- Subtlety tactic affects hate caused from all sources, not just healing abilities.

[Chosen]

- Dire Shielding now applies to group members, not all allies. It was not intended to affect 24 players when the AOE cap was lifted.

[Warrior Priest]

These changes are mostly affecting the Grace mastery tree:

- Sigmar's Vision: Additionally now grants the player 10% block for 10s when wearing a shield. Is now available from lvl 16.
- Divine Warden: this ability has been merged into Sigmar's Vision and is now removed
- Shielding Grace: While channeled it will every second create a 1s duration absorb shield for 255 damage from ranged and magic sources.
- Sigmar's Radiance: The base healing part of this ability, which had a fixed value of 337/423 is now replaced with a base value which scales with 85% of the total ability damage before mitigation. Additionally, this ability is now available at lvl 20, when all other group heals become available.
- Grace of Sigmar: No longer increases the base healing value of Sigmar's Radiance. When wearing a shield Divine Strike will now hit up to two additional targets within 10ft of your target. The 25% increase to life taps is still part of the tactic.
- In Wrath tree, the 7pt tactic Fanaticism and 3pt tactic Divine Justice have switched places
- In Salvation tree, the 11pt tactic Cleansing Power and 7pt tactic Refreshing Radiance have switched places.

[Disciple of Khaine]

These changes are mostly affecting the Sacrifice mastery tree:

- Warding Strike: Additionally now grants the player 10% block for 10s when wearing a shield. Is now available from lvl 16.
- Blood Guard: this ability has been merged into Warding Strike and is now removed
- Soul Ward: While channeled it will every second create a 1s duration absorb shield for 255 damage from ranged and magic sources.
- Transfer Essence: The base healing part of this ability, which had a fixed value of 337/423 is now replaced with a base value which scales with 85% of the total ability damage before mitigation. Additionally, this ability is now available at lvl 20, when all other group heals become available.
- Empowered Transfer: No longer increases the base healing value of Transfer Essence. When wearing a shield Consume Essence will now hit up to two additional targets within 10ft of your target. The 25% increase to life taps is still part of the tactic.
- In Torture tree, the 7pt tactic Murderous Intent and 3pt tactic Bloodthirst have switched places
- In Dark Rites tree, the 11pt tactic Efficient Patching and 7pt tactic Restored Motivation have switched places.

The motivation for these changes are to improve some under-performing abilities in the specs and to make the group heal scale more with stats. Previously the difference in heal output between offensive gear or defensive gear was tiny, so it was generally always better to be as defensive as possible. Now there will be an incentive to the trade-off of going "glass cannon"; you will be squishier but your healing output will improve.

[Scenarios]

- Melee Squig Herders & Assault Shadow warriors now counts as MDPS for ranked solo and hero selection in cities.
- Flag in ranked can't be spam clicked anymore

- Gehaast is now patrolling in ORvR between High Pass and Talabecland

[Quests]

- Gathering Intelligence: You will now have to recover the Battle Plans

- Abomination: The whole quest line is now available and reworked

- Sham/AM This set is now geared to DPS, not healing
- GIABs added/updated

Sov/Alt Sov
- GIABs added/updated
