Patch Notes 30/05/2024

[Akalukz]

Many devs have spewed their thoughts on solo players and even claims that PUGs destroy the game over the years. Now RP is crippled out of WBs and rewards in general are nerfed for solos. So sad as many that would play but don't have the time to commit to a group have no incentive to play at all.
WR cast time... just means I'm out of the keep earlier.

We very much care about all our players playing Return of Reckoning, especially our casual players who represent the majority of us. We'll watch how the War Report change affects the Realm versus Realm experience overall, but we currently don't believe the impact of this is against the casual experience of the server.

It will absolutely have no effect on RvR. It might on people's ego though. Good changes over all, like to see the constant updates. Now if we could figure out a way to truly incentives the lower pop realm to fight. AAO just isn't doing any good.

Yeah its ridiculous honestly.
You CANNOT force people to play how YOU want them to play, instead they will simply quit.
Solo and casual gamers are by far the majority and its why this place isn't bigger than it is and has a large rate of folks leaving.

But i have the feeling they would rather kill this server off than ever change.

Casual - yes
Solo - not

Why the hell are people complaining about the WR change? If you get caught just die and you get transported back to the warcamp just like you would with WR.

Although I will admit it was fun for trolling gank groups that chase solo players halfway across the map.

There was Nurgle helm in the game? Any pics? And yes we need more appearances not less imo. Good job on the patch!

I was completing my look before I took a screenshot, but yes, the Nurgle Chosen helmet was briefly replaced a T2 Elf Epic Quest helm apperance. This has since been fixed. I spent closed to 6 hours PvEing trying to find other appearance items, thinking it was a easter egg hunt, should have just enjoyed it in PvP while I had it :S

How much Nurgle-looking was the helmet? Do we talk about, like, the helmet from Nurgle-Champions or something? You don't mean the Maradeur-style helmet, don't you?

Well, some people don't care if they die. Some people do. No reason to argue with that, it's not like any side can understand the other (even if they do - they just don't care, at best).

So, if you don't want to die for nothing, you are supposed to pay even more attention to your surrounding, stay away from places without any options for escape, don't go from sc resp if you think that your team is weaker than enemy team etc.

On the plus side, wb train/gank groups now have better chance to catch and kill a target which has no chance to win the fight anyway.

Many players say that he doesn't care about death, they are lying, and if they wb lose , he will not try to escape? If it's true, stand there dont run just die ，right？

It was the Nurgle Chosen helm, like the one on the chosen in Talabecland, or worn by the new IC PQ heroes.

Wooow. It's really sad to read that it's gone. I'm still hoping that they release the Chosen Nurgle set in some kind of form.

Casual - yes
Solo - not

Most casual gamers are solo gamers, especially the new folks who come in, they're testing the waters they are exploring by themselves to see what the game has to offer - alot of them probably don't even know how to join any groups or warbands, then they step into SCs and get obliterated by toxic premades.

So then they step into RVR and get zero renown or crests for not being in a WB which is not how the server used to be, this is a recent change.

So then they turn to the one piece of content left which is PVE and while i think the pve on this game is surprisingly good its not what warhammer is sold for is it.

You're playing a Chosen of Tzeentch who is a member of The Raven Host which is an army formed by the current Champion of Tzeentch, and you expect an armour set for the rival chaos god?
