Currently much debate is raging concerning the Mash-Up of Tiers in RoR. Personally my initial reaction is positive, and in that spirit I offer this video for general consideration. If anyone has yet to log in and see what is actually occurring, or still waiting to make the decision to log in, perhaps this may be of some help.

The initial fight occured in The Shadowlands, and to me illustrates bolstering appears to function just fine. Subsequent action took place last night in Avelorn, and frankly, I had a blast.

One cannot beat a river into submission. You must surrender to its power, and use its power to carry you home. Or in other words, relax.

Recorded over a period of time from July through September 2017.

In deference to the constructive criticism my videos tend to be longer than necessary, I have posted this offering. Featured battles are a series of random encounters which occurred throughout the three tiers, to include one v. ones, two v. ones, yada yada yada, concluded with what I thought a fun fight in Dragonwake while paired with Tion of House Black.

Music hails from two sources, DJ Nightstar and DJ Electric Samurai. Thanks to both for their continued excellent efforts and for allowing me to use their mixes as background material. All music remains the property of its various owners and is used for entertainment purposes only.

Welcome back.

As usual, a few notes about this video.

I feel the RvR system as currently established to be both effective and fun. However, as all of you know, that system not only allows T4 level players to run wild in T2, it often requires they do so. At times one can log into the game and find the only open zone for a T4 player to go fight in is somewhere in T2 or T3. Conversely, T2 or T3 level players will often log in to find the only open zone is in T4. Therefore, if you want to fight in RvR, you go to where the fight is.

As a further consequence of this system those who roam either solo or in small groups, as I often do, will inevitably encounter opposition players of lower rank and renown, and those players will by definition typically be at a disadvantage. Due to the system as currently enacted, this is all axiomatic.

I did not create this system. I did not implement it. I did not establish the rules which govern it.

But I freely admit, I have taken advantage of it.

Some of the fights you will see in this video were an absolute blast to be part of. The second fight featured is a particularly telling example. At the moment I moved to attack I thought there was only one Destro player at the Objective. I did not see the other two until I was already halfway down the hill, when it was too late to do anything other than continue the charge. The resulting fight was, first and foremost, unique, which is the primary reason I included it for your viewing pleasure. However beyond that aspect, the fight was most simply a tremendously enjoyable three and a half minutes of game time. A later featured fight where I found a few Destro players at the Siege Camp in Eataine also serves as a prime example. The current RvR system is what it is, and I believe it is a good system. But as a consequence of how it is constructed, one must often pay close attention to how one operates in it.

There is a reason I, and all of you, love this game. I feel this video, of all the ones I have created and posted, most effectively illustrates the essential, underlying rational for why I continue to play and devote time to Warhammer Online RoR. It is clearly here for all to see. But for those of you who watch this video, know only this. In context of playing a game, for the one hour and ten minutes of game time represented in the various segments, I was having the time of my life.

Part of that is, of course, the credit of the Devs who keep this game running and all of you, my fellow players. I thank you all for it, sincerely.

A time index listing of the various fights is included below. As always, respect to my worthy opponents and thanks to all of you for watching.

The theme of this video will become obvious, but was fun to put together. Futurama is (was) a great show. All segments utilized remain the property of their various owners and are used here for entertainment purposes only.

My son found this video on our Youtube listing, one I had uploaded last year but for some reason had marked as private. He rendered it public, so I thought I would link it here. I remember this fight as one of the more vicious scenario contest I had ever been in.

At times you can play this game and just play the game. At other times you can play and literally feel the animosity oozing from the screen. This experience represents the latter.
