Zone Lock Change Proposal

[tommyb23]

How about making zone locking permanent until 1) all zones are locked by one faction, gives a large bonus to the locking faction, and resets afterwards or 2) if all zones are locked but not by one faction, unlock the oldest one opposite of the side that just took one? I would also remove the scenario/kill requirement to lock - All BOs and Keeps taken = lock (BOs would still need timers of course). I would recommend another game if you want fair, non-world pvp like scenarios.

Doing this would create a larger battles in single zones and prevent stealth locking (which seemed to upset quite a few on earlier today). I think it would be overall more enjoyable that the current timer system, but please provide your feedback.

T4 might have to be set up slightly differently with this change, but that may be awhile before we need to worry what is best there. I could see requiring locking all T4 areas to attack the capital cities, but that would be quite the ordeal (maybe more rewarding though).

sounds alot as previous way the system worked with only one active zone. Many didnt like it so... Prolly new mechanics will be discussed for t4 when we got the full picture till then hf

the current system with zone locking and AAO is pretty good i feel, no need to change it

Yes, it's so much fun in t2 right now

Ok, thought I would give it a shot. Current seems silly for the above reasons and when both sides are going for mostly unguarded keeps in different zones, which happened yesterday for example...

EDIT: Third reason that just hit me when I logged on... think of how much time that would be saved for people logging in with "Where's the action at?" or wasting time roaming in zones looking for action that may be somewhere else.

Stealth take by order at STK when destro WB at elves... pvp dodging is real.

Yeah because getting bombed from the 3rd floor as order while destro sit behind level 40 guards is pvp

Because ordo has never in the history of the world done the same thing

better that that 5+ hour back and forth infront of mandreds that was happening under the old system

Because destro moving in a huge blob of 3+ warbands for hours on end earlier today was all about the pvp, right?

I like this system better than the one before with just one open Zone. I would not change it again.
