Guide: Merged RvR, scenarios and Keeps
Posted: Wed Mar 15, 2017 12:48 am
During the Doomsday event, all Mid-Tier activity has become part of the overall WAR efforts. The following guide may be outdated if the event is made permanent.
Players normally eligible for mid-tier should be following around whatever the active zone is (use the chat command .rvrstatus), including T4! The Bolster mechanism has been adjusted so any player with reasonable gear for their level will be competitive.
- Wargrimnir
The Tier 2, 3 & 4 3 campaigns have been merged together and the global tier caps altered accordingly, ranks 16 to 40 can RvR together on the same maps across tier 2, 3 & 4. Each character under 40 is bolstered. There are two forms of bolster. One for 16-30 and one for 31-40.
You can find information on the new scenario brackets in this post by Dresden: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=18814
The 16-31 Bolster:
An aggressive bolstering has been implemented to enable the lower level players to compete statistically with other players. This bolster will increase your player stats such as willpower, strength and wounds.
The 32-39 Bolster:
THe traditional bolster from live is in effect, it again boosts your stats but to a lesser extent as the mid their bolster because of better gear (ruin, anni and merc), potions (+60 main stats and 1300 heal pots) and talismans available to your character.
-Open world cap change. T1 level 1-15, T2-T4 16-40
The RvR mechanics are changed:
- Locking a zone = 5 battle field objectives and 5 keep stars are the key. Taken keeps now counter as a battle field objective.
The options then are as follows:
1 Rank 5 star keep + 4 Captured BOs (AAO must be less than 80% for the outnumbered realm)
2 Captured Keeps (no required stars) + 3 BOs
Draws!
A draw timer flip will occur between 3-4 hours. However the zone will only flip upon a draw timer when both keeps are flagged as safe and will not gflip if one door has taken damage. This prevents a draw occurring during a siege.
You can no longer see the draw timer of a zone, this is to prevent "potato style" play.
Diminishing Rations (blue debuff)
Diminishing rations is a wounds and stats debuff to your realm. It occurs when you do not hold enough Battle Field objectives and is designed to pushing turtle play. It can occur when your realm has aao, even if you ahve 80% aao.
The RvR system updates every 60 seconds, thus an instant 5 Star keep + 4 BOs will not auto flip you must wait for the RvR system to update. You can view the timer until next update with the generic UI RvR window or with the addon State of the Realm: viewtopic.php?f=66&t=22771&hilit=State+of+the+Realm
Later, changes were made to scenario brackets:
- A break down of scenario objectives, point allocation and a guide to the changes to scenarios from the live server can be found here, thanks to Anarchypark and Azarael: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=20415
General Information
- All map points are unlocked, all you need to do is have the gold to fly between the zones.
- The current active RvR zone is displayed in your chat log through the “RvR” chat filter shown below in the screen shot with a Green circle. You can also type .RVR in /say channel and the active zone will be shown in yellow system chat.
- To communicate and advertise your Warband use the /t2, /t3 and /t4 chat commands. To see these messages in game tick the “Realm War Tier 2” and “realm War Tier 3” and "realm War Teir 4" chat filters shown below in the screen shot with a red circle.
