Is oRvR too Objective Oriented? (Increase Renown For Kills)

[dkabib]

Sorry but losing some Renown when you die is a terrible idea.
I can see people not wanting to accept rezes just for that.

keep should give a bit, sure, but if the fighting is worth mostly the same (or more) when it's all said and done, I firmly believe that most people will choose the reason for us to play this game: PVP. right not for many taking an easy way out is simply more effective and actual fighting is much less so (fun non-withstanding).

and i really do think losing a small part of your RR upon dying is a good idea. (maybe not in SCs as those can become a spawn camp quite easily and ppl would then not take the risk of getting down from the spawn if overwhelmed).

I don't agree with losing renown on death. It will make people much less likely to take risks.

All too often death isn't ones own fault, it comes from being run over by 30+ people.

Suzu, you're already minimize the risks, you've got nothing to worry about.

Whatcha talkin about I get him every day!!
Though he gets me more........

Anyway, I don't see that as an improvement in any way.

I play a Sorc, I die a lot. lol


A system where you lose renown on death favorites tanks that well never die lol. During a fight there are times where I get 1 shot fester bombed, huge crits kill me very quickly, ect.

With a system that we lose renown in, I'd be much less likely to try to take on large groups. 9 times out of 10 when you take on big groups you die, because of the lack off mass CC (unlike DAoC). It's ok right now, because all you lose is epeen/ego. ^_-

Well currently its 60%+ fopr destro. So alot of players are farming renown aswell. Just a shame people have to change characters to join farm

At the moment Open RVR is too focused on taking keeps and BOs and has no focus on fighting other players.


In the current state of the game the bigger zerg gets 4400 renown for taking 4 BOs and 1 keep. While killing 100 players in a 6 man group, averaging about 30 renown a kill, gives about 3000. Finding and killing 100 players takes longer and requires the players to have more skill.....or at the very minimum be at their keyboards and not watching TV occasionally moving.

Fighting players and not afking at keep doors should be rewarded, not punished. Sadly, right now the most effective way to get renown is to roll through a zone as quickly as possible with no resistance.



In my opinion, we should raise (double) the amount of renown giving for kills. I believe, AAO + a flat raising of renown per kill will encourage fighting. Taking keeps will still be the most efficient way to get renown, but at least those who choose to fight players will be able to keep up.

agreed. it is wrong that zerging npcs gives more rp/xp/inf than pvp.

The problem isn't WHO gets to farm the renown, it's that the only (most) effective way to farm renown.

I'm not one of those people who favors one faction or the others, we all play the same game.

Since Dev's seem to be paying attention to this thread I would like it if I could get the devs opinion on my purposed temporary fix to at least quell some of the frustrations.
