Suggestion: Cross-Realm Solo Roaming System

[grello98]

I think Return of Reckoning playerbase could benefit from a system designed specifically to encourage solo roaming and small-scale PvP. Since everything revolves around warbands and blobbing there is certain % of players who most of their time find enjoyment in solo-roaming but sometimes it seems difficult in blob-like environment

The idea would be to allow certain solo players to temporarily become hostile to both realms, giving them the ability to attack and be attacked by both Order and Destruction players.

This could work through a special “Rogue / Mercenary” status where there is certain NPC in main cities where u can interact with it and enable mercenary status.

Only players who are solo can activate it.
While active, the player can attack both Order and Destruction.
The player is also attackable by both realms.
The status could have a limited duration, for example 30–60 minutes. Or until log off
Entering a warband/group would immediately disable the status.
There could be restrictions preventing abuse, such as reduced rewards for repeatedly killing the same player.
Since there won't be debuffs/buffs of the realm "againts all odds and War-Thorn Apathy (i suggest to implent mini buff for every kill to get all stat increase for 1% till killed) max stack 25%
Spawning point could be a designated PVE warcamp near the RvR areas or certain spots designed specifically for "Mercenary Faction".

The main purpose wouldn't be to create another faction, but to create a true solo-roaming environment and experience for thoose who are guerilla warfare enthusiasts.

I am once again asking for your consideration of an ARENA.

Arena would be good but the current one has quite a few issues ranging from same faction pets not being attackable, lack of terrain, odd spawnpoints etc. it would need proper prehaul to make it easier to use.
We took a step to right direction with the patch that fixed the enntering to arena (we used to have to jump from top of bracier over invisble wall to enter smoothly.

spawn points looks cool and all when they are on other sides of ring, but in reality when fighting opposin faction going for round 2 is always a bit tricky as you cant initiate duel over the ring. Maybe some duel que system in there would be in order, so you get matched against other ppl in queue, and/or moving the spawn spots closer so you dont end up running circles with the guy you want to duel with.

Also terrain is problematic, as big part of 1v1 fights are rock paper scissors up until the other guy gets to even out the odds with terrain. there are colums around the arena, but then you are at risk from randomly gaining aggro from guard. Maybe add another circle of columns and/or some elevations in the arena.

Sorry to derail a bit, now back to or topic. I would love to turn hostile and gank my guildies mid roam, but in some cases it would probably break the immersion.
