Scenario Barriers

[Alubert]

Honestly guys barriers isn’t the problem

They are a big problem. There is no sense to go outside of barrier, when that place is camped by strong premades. Yet the aggressive "AFK" timer still force you, to go out, even when you have minimum chance to survive there. People die in different time in SCs, so the resurrect time is usually different for them too (in 25 sec window). That means, even if you want to be brave and still fight back, regrouping and go outside together can be very difficult task.

Guards are not the ultimate solution for everything and every SC, but they are by far better then barriers.

Just imagine to have no guards but a barrier at RvR warcamp. Would you do that one step out, when the enemy is camping you there by few warbands?
You don't.

100% agree

I wanted to revive this topic in response to the latest patchnotes. The buff change is a welcome one but I still believe that the jnderlying issue of having barriers in scs still persists and should be addressed now that the new matchmaking system is done.

Agreed. Still...all those changes, for my opinion, show that devs are actually trying to push barriers system instead, and that means that to delete all barriers is the same that to admit that all their work related to them were for nothing. I DO NOT believe its possible, we have to wait a year or two i suppose.

I think barriers should go for good.

But if devs want to stay they need to be altered or scenarios mode will perish.
Ideally barriers stay but there is a way to come back into the wc and when inside u cant dps or heal.

Alternative to that is to make the buff permanent 50 fts or so around the barrier.

Ideally barriers should be gone and guards put back but if the desire to let then on is so huge at least alter them to have some comeback function cos now they act as punishment for the weaker side which just doesnt make sense
