That is exactly why a "one rule fits all zones" campaign rule doesn't work. Some zones should get a zone-unique portal that puts you closer to the BO from the campaign. Not too close but something to put a team closer to a TM -East-BO-like objective to keep that BO more in play. Thunder Mountain is a fine example of one that could use an "NPC-guarded drop in point" just off the lake that is only open when 3 or more BOs are held. These short term portals will stay open for the next 30 seconds with a HUD viewable countdown timer. It could make life more interesting for controlling those off the beaten path BOs...wonshot wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2019 9:55 am Some of the Battleobjectives are just not "included" in a system where not all BOs are needed for a zonelock.
Thundermountain's "Gromril Kruk" (Far East isolated BO for those not evening knowing it) is a prime example. With a system that only require 3/4 BOs to lock the zone, this BO never gets into play. However with all BOs required for a zonelock, you can put an organized force on the far BO forcing the zonelockers to both face you, but also be organized enough as a whole to cover the rest of the map.
Maybe do this with a slight time increase on the lock timer? I dont know, but go wild with your speculations on how it may affect balance!
P.s. I'm just some dude with a bachelors degree in psychology, which equates to I'm really good at looking up **** on wikipedia who knows how these above changes would affect the rvr game, but that's my best guess.
Also I'm sure it's been brought up before, sorry for not reading through all the years of previous posts. Doesn't mean that it cant be revisited - other options have been tested and failed. Why not this?
P.p.s. if this system has actually been tried before and failed, please refer to my previous paragraph.
