[RP & RVR EVENT] The High King versus The Warlord

[peterthepan3]

Would be nice to have other events for pvp, too

[sotora]

Thank you for this event. Such things like this invigorate server and can have some impact on community/game popularity.

So again thank you for organising such thing

Said that:

1. I understand that rewards have to be given only to few, and giving out 400 "rare" rewards would be absurd, but it would be nice to say before event what requirements to obtain reward would be. That way you can avoid people being let down.

2. Lag was absolutely crippling, especially for first 1-1,5 hours. Worst lag I ever encountered on ROR. It killed combat part of the fun to a large degree. I am aware that reducing lag such game load is not simple and it might takes months to improve it for city sieges and even then large amount of crowds will cause big lag.
Said and understanding all that - it was really horrible. Maybe splitting mega zerg into two zergs giving two objectives in diffrent part of lake would help?

je me suis bien marré quelques lags en effet;mais une fois les groupes éparpiller sur la zone,c'était largement jouable,j'ai meme reussi a soloter et faire quelques kills^^pour ma part j'ai trouvé cet event bien sympa^^ !

Well you should have seen the crash at T2 Mandreds Keep a year ago. I think we crashed the server three times in a row.
Somehow it happens when we rally the lads

But yes. Two heroes, two zones could take the stress out of it.
CW was also mentioned because imo the maps sucks, but you have wide open spaces. And players spread over a larger area is better for server.
BC or TM have build in funnels. As well as Praag.

And some more of these events at weekends and some bonuses I also would like to see.

Renown/xp bonuses wouldn't be fair, but aesthetic stuff seems cool.

It was impossbile for me to play because of the lag. Maybe next time spread the big blobs over 3 zones and only the races for that zone can enter. Empire/Chaos fight in Praag, Elves/Dark Elves in Dragonwake, Dwarfs/Greenskins in Thunder Mountain? I know, I'm asking the impossible

Event was fun. Got lots of renown and rewards from it.

The zerg vs zerg + Warlord/High King fights were unplayable unfortunately from my point of view. Large amounts of time lagging and game froze for 10 or so seconds at a time constantly which was to be expected with everything going on in Praag. On top of all the crashes, trying to play a melee class was too painful. Spent most of the time roaming instead.

All in all, I liked the event but a clear set of objectives prior for the event would have been appreciated so we knew what to aim for rather than just mindlessly zerg vs zerg.

Here's a picture of Arthur the day after, wearing two fancy medals obtained on the night.
Words fail to describe the joy. Much praise to Devs, GMs and other organizers. You made me one happy Dawi.

Dont see the impossible in such task tbh, it takes atleast 6 GM / players taking the role of faction leaders, would actually be quite cool I reckon.
