Return of Reckoning

This Scenario has several locations to capture through out the rocky terrain of Thunder Valley. Capturing these locations will grant more points towards winning the Scenario as well as grant points over time.

Capturing a location will grant the realm use of siege weapons to help defend the location.

Capturing the Gyrocopter Hangar will allow your Realm to bombard capture locations siege weapons!

[Fortresses]

- Fort loot is now back.

[ORVR]

-Contribution will no longer be removed from other characters on your account on swapping to the underdog side.

[Items]

- Added Invader 6pc Bonus.
- T4 RvR and Scenario prices have been adjusted rather significantly. This was skipped when Oppressor/Vanquisher were released, so the impact may be a bit more noticeable as both Conq/Dom and Opp/Vanq received rather significant reductions in cost. We're at the end of Open RvR rewards as we move into City Siege rewards, so these will be the final prices ending at Vanquisher/Oppressor. Scenario weapons have been adjusted as well in T4.

[Fortresses]

Fortresses are huge keeps that guard the entrances to Capital Cities. Larger than even the largest tier 4 keeps, Fortresses have huge outer walls, and command a view of the countryside around them, ready to defend against all comers.

[Reikwald - Empire Fortress]

The fields of the Empire burn as the Chaos host closes, and the smoke of Reikland's fired fields cannot help but be blown south with the Reik river's natural fog. The billowing haze culminates in the Reikwald, and the fortress there stands like a massive sentinel amongst the mists that engulf it. Atop the fortress stands Rhinehardt Ortmann, a warrior priest as stalwart as the stronghold he commands. Charged with Altdorf's last line of defense by the Grand Theogonist himself, Ortmann has promised to give aid to all who have fled south from the marauding armry of Chaos. While Ortmann stands the safety of Reikwald's fortress, and the capital of Altdorf beyond, remains accessible to fleeing citizens of the Empire.

[The Maw - Chaos Fortress]

Where most fortresses are built to repel invaders with their very image, the stronghold of the Maw is meant to invite invading armies deep into the Chaos Wastes. Many armies have wandered into the deep Wastes in search of the fortress of the Maw, traveling into progressively darker and more bizarre terrain. Most armies are caught unawares by the unfettered and sudden appearance of the fortress, but one look at the enormous walls that frame the stronghold and surprise soon fades to despair.

However, the commanders of the Maw will not impede an newly arrived as it prepares to lay siege, nor will do much more than protect its walls from incursion. For the commanders of the fortress in the Maw know that waiting is the secret to fighting this deep in the Wastes. One need only wait and soon his enemies will be fighting each other, shouting at shadows, or wandering unthinkingly through the sand and snow, the insanity of the Maw having finally consumed them.

[Stonewatch - Dwarf Fortress]

The Dwarfs might guild their drinking halls and celebrate their hordes, but when it comes to battle the Dwarfs know that only keen edges and bitter stances matter. The fortress at Stonewatch is a testament to the dour simplicity of the Dwarf defense. With walls that merge with the stone of the mountain, and foundations that go as deep as the roots of the world, Dwarf fortifications have no equal. Hidden masterfully within the crannies and niches of the stone are entire batteries of cannons already aimed and ready to fire.

To assault the fortress of Stonewatch is to assault the side of a mountain, and all who have tried have failed as the great carved eyes of Karaz-a-Karak's entrance look on.

[Butchers Pass - Greenskin Fortress]

The fortress of Butcher's Pass is a sprawling settlement as large as any castle town. Originally the greenskins there simply occupied the remains of the Dwarf keep there, but eventually they grew so numerous that they began adding onto the ruins wherever they could. More and more huts and towers sprung up with the ruins, and the central keep grew larger and larger, rising from fort to fortress in a matter of week. Now nearly three keeps built atop one another, the central bastion of Butcher's Pass is both the home of its boss, Grumtusk Da Ravager, as well as a mammoth fighting pit.

At such rambling dimensions, the fortifications of Butcher's Pass should prove impenetrable attackers, for even if they were to breach the walls, few would have any idea where to go or what to attack next.

[Shining Way - High Elf Fortress]

The fortress of the Shining Way was once a center of study and peace sitting atop a grand hill overlooking the Straights of Lothern. The university took pride in teaching the noble heirs of Eataine the histories of Ulthuan's politics and houses. However, as soon as Malekith's armies invaded and the fields of Eataine began to burn, the school was quickly converted into a stronghold suited to protecting the capital of Lothern. Now, defended by legions of mages and soldiers, and commanding a view of Eataine for leagues, there are few threats that such bastion of strength and knowledge could not withstand.

[Fell Landing - Dark Elf Fortress]

Where Malekith's Fist landed the ground cracked and burned for leagues, heralding the coming of the Witch King. From the deep within the colossal Black Ark the materials to construct a huge fortress were gathered. Dark ores and blood-forged steels, ensorcelled irons and crystals of concentrated Aethyr, all were combined to create a foundation that would blight the land of Caledor to its very core. Even as his armies marched east, Malekith had his trusted servants labor to raise the fortress higher, and soon it filled the entire valley. Now Caledor's western coast is sealed off behind sinister walls and blackened earth. For a High Elf to even tread near the despoiled land is to risk his lunch, and every army that marches west to assault Malekith's Black Ark and must contend with the unnatural malevolence locked within the land.

[Mechanics]

- Fortresses are now live! They are subject to change; There may be balance changes or bug fixes.

Not all mechanics will be told but here are the general notes:

Defenders can never be more then 80% of the attackers force. The maximum amount of attackers is 96 players (4 full Warbands, and this hardcap may be changed or removed in the future). You will need to be Rank 40 and Renown Rank 40 to enter.

Fortress assaults are divided into 3 stages:

[1 - Staging]

Everyone will have 15 minutes while the the outer doors are destroyed. This will allow everyone to gather forces to attack or defend the assault.

[2 - Secure Outer]

Five flags will be located in areas surrounding the Fortress. Every 1 minute interval the following will occur: For each flag the defenders hold, the lord will become stronger. For each flag the attackers hold, the defenders will be showered with an artillery barrage, and if attackers hold all 5 flags the inner door will fall much faster.

[3 - Lord Battle]

This is where you will fight the Lord in order to finally defeat your enemies Fortress. Each Lord has unique ability combinations and will use different mechanics in order to defend their keep.

Once a player of a defending realm releases their corpse they will be placed in a cage at the attackers staging area and will have to await rescue from someone from their realm. The attacking realm will win if the Lord is defeated. If the attacking realm is unable to successfully win within 1 hour of the assault on the lord starting, the defending team will prevail and be victorious.

[General]

- If you talk to a profession trainer now when you have a profession of that type it will now instead show you a dialogbox asking if you want to unlearn your current profession to make room for the new one.
- Exiled players will now find themselves chilled to the bone...

[Guilds]

- Attempting to form an alliance will now properly show a dialog window for the receiver with a confirmation if they want to form the alliance or not.

[RvR]

- When keep ranks up doors should now also be healed up to the new value (as of ranking doors of last week).
- Siege weapons should no longer be able to take any healing.

[Items]

- Overlord and Imperator sets have been retired and can no longer be acquired. Existing items will remain in your inventory. These vendors will have new rewards to choose from.

[Scenarios]

- Lost Temple of Isha has been returned to the normal queue
- Caledor Woods is now part of the 6v6 queue, scenario points for kills has been increased slightly
- Battle for Praag, Gromril Crossing, and Reikland Hills are no longer available in T1
- Logrin's Forge rewards have been tuned down a bit, scenario points for kills has been increased slightly

Last week we made a couple changes to the Scenario Manager
- Scenarios will now pop every 5 minutes. Previously they attempted to pop as soon as the population was available
- Scenarios will attempt to backfill every 30s from players queued outside of this 5m interval

This allows the Scenario Manager to better attempt to construct balanced groups out of the Tank/DPS/Heal archetypes from available players. This does take into account players specced as DPS while playing a Tank or Healer class, which may affect pure DPS classes as they are sharing their role with more classes. Essentially this means that pure healers and pure tanks will have the fastest pops, where anyone attempting to queue as DPS will typically have more players in the queue to choose from. If balance is not attained, but there are enough (6 or more) players to start a scenario, it will do so anyway, which means during less populated queues, imbalanced groups can still created, but it should be much less common overall.

The backfill mechanic should also be more apparent. The Scenario Manager will not attempt to backfill an overpopulated team, instead it will attempt to backfill the underpopulated side before looking to fully fill the scenario. This happens every 30s to attempt to meet balance requirements and bring in needed classes to the scenario.

We will continue to monitor the system and make any changes needed, but largely it is working as intended.

[Abilities]

- Fixed an issue where buffs that would trigger when below a certain % would need to get hit an additional time to trigger. They will now properly trigger on the attack that caused them to fall below its threshold.

- NPCs will no longer attempt to cast another ability if they are already channeling one, unless interrupted.


[Slayer]

[Path of the Giantslayer]

- Spellbreaker - This ability has been reconstructed in the client correctly and will now do the following - "A shattering strike which deals X damage and will remove one damage absorbing effect, one Enchantment and one Blessing from the target. Any effects removed from the target will inflict an additional Y damage for each one. If you are Furious, gains a 75% damage bonus instead of the 25% bonus." - If an absorb effect is present on the target then that will be the first thing consumed before the damage is applied so you will "pop" the absorb before laying down any of the damage from the ability.

[Archmage]

[Path of Isha]

- Magical Infusion - Will no longer serve as a incoming heal buff for the duration of the buff but will activate when the buff holder health falls below 25% health instead of 20% health. Ability has also been corrected to activate when the player goes under 25% health, previously it would only activate on the NEXT hit after they went under 20%, for example if a player was hit from 21% life to 1% life, the ability wouldn't go off until the next hit which would kill you anyway and the heal effect was wasted, now it will reliably activate when the buff holder goes below 25% life.

[Path of Asuryan]

- Fury of Asuryan - Increased range of this ability to 100ft (from 65ft).
- Increased Conductivity - Tactic Removed.
- Khaine's Touch - New Tactic at 11 points Path of Asuryan - Reduces the duration and tick interval of Searing Touch by 50%. Khaine's price however will reduce the effectiveness of your healing abilities by 20% and increases the cooldown of Searing Touch by 50%.

[Core]

- Desperation - Tactic augmented so Magical Infusion will make its target 25% more receptive to incoming heals in addition to its other effects.

[Shaman]

[Path of Mork]

- Shrug It Off - Will no longer serve as a incoming heal buff for the duration of the buff but will activate when the buff holder health falls below 25% health instead of 20% health. Ability has also been corrected to activate when the player goes under 25% health, previously it would only activate on the NEXT hit after they went under 20%, for example if a player was hit from 21% life to 1% life, the ability wouldn't go off until the next hit which would kill you anyway and the heal effect was wasted, now it will reliably activate when the buff holder goes below 25% life.

[Path of Gork]

- Big Waaagh! - Increased range of this ability to 100ft (from 65ft).
- Gork's Barbs - Proc has been returned to single target effecting only the person healing the target under the effect.
- Hurts, don't it - Tactic Removed
- Touch of Gork - New Tactic at 11 points Path of Gork - Brain Bursta will now also reduce the victim's Toughness by X for 20 seconds and reduces the duration and tick interval of Bunch o' Waaagh by 50%. Gorks power however will reduce the effectiveness of your healing abilities by 20% and increases the cooldown of Bunch o' Waaagh by 50%.

[Core]

- Ain't Done Yet! - Tactic augmented so Shrug It Off will make its target 25% more receptive to incoming heals in addition to its other effects.

[Marauder and White Lion]

[Terrible Embrace and Fetch]

Terrible Embrace and Fetch now have minimum distances that they have to be beyond before they can activate the abilities (20 feet). This was already set on Fetch in the database but was left off Terrible Embrace due to its erratic nature, now that Terrible Embrace is reliable this change was made to prevent its use as a 'hard' CC when in melee combat.

[Auras]

Fabulous Glows for Knights and Deadly Stinklines for Chosens VFX readded to mechanic auras.

[Cones]

Ability cones were apparently set by guesswork previously, the correct settings have been identified and applied to the relevant cone abilities. This has resulted in an almost complete buff to cone related abilities. This isnt a balance pass, its correcting and aligning the abilities with the client, should the expanded angles unbalance an ability it will be looked at separately.

[White Lion]

[Path of the Guardian]

Hotfix - Throat Bite - Damage component removed.

[Pets]

Pet Abilities have been changed to work how they should, that is the abilities that they gain alongside their control bars and in trees (such as Brutal Pounce, Git Em!, Penetrating Round) are supposed to scale off the PLAYERS stats not the pet stats which had been randomly allocated. This means your Mainstat, critical rates and weaponskill will translate through to your pets attack powers. The only thing that pet stats count towards in damage terms are Auto Attacks.

Sounds like everythings a buff right? Well it is overall and it will be removing a lot of unclear information and putting it all into view from the ability tooltips which will be aligning and obeying the client. An example where you could be "losing out" is in Co-ordinated Strike which pulled from pet stats previously, and in Trained to Kill, the STR of the pet caused huge number discrepancies. That said, in say Trained to Threaten you will likely get more damage from Co-ordinated Strike than before because its not looking at pet STR

Pets which damage to tooltip is slightly off alignment - Flamer. Some nuances on it need a little more investigation.

[The War Report]

A feature that returning and existing characters will enjoy is 'The WAR Report' window. This window opens automatically when a player enters the game for the first time during a session and gives a snapshot of the action going on in the world. Separated by Tiers, the window not only gives you a list of current events but also allows you to choose one and teleport directly to the action. RVR events will take you to the closest warcamp and PVE events will take you to either the closest chapter hub or to the nearest Flight Master location which may be either a chapter hub or a warcamp depending on the event. This instant action teleport will be available for use once every 20 minutes. The WAR Report window can be accessed via a toggle located on the left side of the mini-map between the Rally Cry and Scenario queuing buttons. The window can also be toggled off if players do not want it to automatically open when they first enter the game.
