[Weekend Warfront: Foray of Fate]



Stumbling upon an unusual network of tunnels beneath Praag, a small band of Order finds themselves within the slumbering walls of The Eternal Citadel. Followed by members of Destruction, these two forces clash within Tchar'zanek's throne room... but that is not all that trespasses through this labyrinth of twisted reality.

This weekend Foray of Fate will be the weekend warfront from 12:00 on Friday to 12:00 on Monday Altdorf time. You get +50% XP and Renown in the Eternal Citadel scenario, and extra rewards from completing the event tasks.

If you complete all tasks you will get the title "Eternal Infiltrator" as order or "Citadel Cerberus" as destruction.

[RvR]

- Increased amount of Vanquisher medallions in RvR bags.

[Fortresses]

- Lowered damage from poison.

- Lowered maximum number of attackers to 168 and defenders to 135 (still 80% of attackers).

[Reikland Hills]

The original rotating king of the hill mechanic has been implemented:

- After 30s the fallen bridge objective will open

- Once the objective has been captured another random one will open after 20s.

- The captured objective will continue to be open and generate points for another 80s after capture, so you have to make a decision if you stay and protect the flag, or rush to the newly opened objective.

[Scenario]

- The Destruction quest giver in Reikland Factory has been moved closer to the spawn

[Acidic]

Thanks for the patch, nice work
Will be interesting to see if the numbers change alters anything

[Cadien]

Obviously, the vanq change is good.

The fort change...personally, I'll wait and see. It seems like a buff to attackers (read: destro), which sucks from an Order perspective. But who knows. I know that people have any number of theories as to why order has such a high defense rate and can still push forts with some success (though, not perfect success)

I think the bigger problem is for reservations. We were previously getting people (DPS, obviously) who were not getting fort reservations, even though they had performed in a way to get contribution. This wasn't rampant, but it was still a concern.

But, like I said, I'll reserve judgment. This will mean more altdorfs i guess, so there's that.

Not sure how fort changes will effect either side, as the percentage differential is the same...

Why keep decreasing the amount of players in Fort? You can have up to 300-400 players in end zones and you keep reducing the amount that can actually play the fort?

Yeah I agree. There’s already enough people not getting in as is. The weekends sometimes there’s 400+ people pushing/defending zones. I think I saw a 90 person queue just for Order the other day. Now it’s going to be even more people getting shafted, even though they contributed to the effort.

[Silverbow100]

Do you guys enjoy the lagfest of 300 players in fort? I sure don't. The less players, the less lag, and hopefully a tad bit more balanced

No, but I enjoy getting rewarded for the effort I put in to push a zone. I don’t like spending more time than other people pushing and defending and have them get a reservation after joining last 10 minutes (healers, tanks getting priority). I need Invaders for my toons as well.

If they decreased the numbers to 100/80 and have multiple instances of the Fort when there are a lot of people in queue, I think it would be ideal. I doubt that will happen though.

If u want a reservation, u can play as healer/tank

[Silverbow100]

Okay so I can join a zone for 10 minutes run a few supplies get a few kills and participate briefly in the keep lord take, that means i get reservation 90% of the time unless the zone has been open for exceedingly long periods of time. I think its wrong, but it is how it is. With the reduction in the fort population(Which i stress as a good thing) there should be a decrease in contributory applications, meaning that only people with a higher percentage of contribution should be able to get a reservation. Simple maths.
