POLL - RVR - What would make you play more?

[Serbiansword]

Limit the time for zone locking to 2 or MAYBE 3 hours. Everything above that is just not practical unless you are on a vacation or you have a lot of free time on your hands.

Maybe I was doing it wrong, but trying to get bag drops or conq medals from orvr while being a SnB IB was about impossible from playing in a wb. Spending most of my time guarding melee dps generally leaves little time for anything contribution wise other than being on the ram, I''ve switched to 2h in the hopes of doing more solo play and running supplies in order to get more kills as well.

I want conq gear obviously and all summer I got 2 bags (dont remember the color) and got a mark of the bulwark and one genesis piece. I really like this game so I don't mind too much but no casual player is going to attempt a SnB when it is that grindy to get anything. Order needs more dedicated tanks using guard but right now there is not a lot of incentive to participate in orvr in anything other than a 6 man gank grp in the hopes of getting a bag. In summary, I feel like I put a ton of effort into being a good guard and got nothing for it in terms of Conq gear of genesis, without which I am a mediocre guard bot at best.

I may be wrong and these are just the symptoms of 300 ppl competing for a little more than a dozen bags.

Guard good DPS and you help them get more kills, and therefore share more medals and renown with them, you will get more contribution this way too, you will not get the last 2 pieces of conq any quicker than by medals alone. A lot of getting good contribution is based in being the longest active player in the zone and fighting at every BO.

Lol, gear, gear, gear or gear, meh

Currency rate exchange from lower to higher tiers should be 2:1, not 5:1. Would encourage more to actually level via RvR and SCs so at t4 They can nearly insta buy merc and annihilater.

I have a yes and no reaction to this. I agree the 5 to 1 exchange rate is high when combined with the low drop rate for Conq and Merc currency, but disagree with the "insta-buy" notion of gear. The top line gear should not be easy to get, but the overall time factor involved could be addressed. Perhaps a 3 to 1 exchange rate happy medium.

What would make ME play RvR more?

- More straight forward campaigns, dinamic, quicker battles. Taking more than 2 hours in a zone, getting resources, capturing flags and siege def/atc and not seing a closure or getting the chance to roll feels a lot less epic and more frustrating to me.
I would definetilly enjoy a lot more, having 2 or 3 RvR (win or lose) on that same time...

- More transparent roll system, whats the weight of RvR actvities and wich influence the most on your rolls... That's something I started to think was pure and simple RNG at first, but after many battles you start to see the same people on the top rolls, and imagine "those dudes know something I dont".

- Easier access to groups/warbands, RvR should be something you automatically join a group/WB, theres nothing you gonna achieve by yourself... A LF tool of sorts, or maybe make all WBs open, I dont know... but I oftenly find myself strugling to find a WB/group to join, easy access would be something that would improve it imo.

Those are the main issues I face today.

-streamline 1-32 grind (people will roll alts and play more)

What I do think could help is if the most efficient method of leveling was shared with new players... where to go to join gear farming, etc.

+99

Please... this would be helpful just for alts

More roleplay

[Grimgore]

Well, it seems that most of the comment want easier way to power ( more medallions , conq drop, more bags etc)

Of course and that is something that will make lots of ppl happy. But consider this, a 46 rr player having no difference in gear power etc than a 70 or 80rr player. I mean if thats the case, then the difference of 34 lvls ( witch needs months if years to achieve ) is not that extreme.

Yeah i am one of those tanks who cant get a good party so its doomed to get visually no medallions, and i know that if i were a healer or a Rdps i would had 4 to 5 times more medalions , but thats the game . Thats why there are old folks with tons and tons of hours in this game who have conq gear and all funcy jewls and they rock.

This mentality reminds me of the lineage pvp servers, all get max lvl and max gear within an hour and then just fight to death(sure this is a radical example but you get the point) . Its cool, but it will become really boring fast.

And dont forget that there is a hole new zone thats locked yet. With tons of new items and stuff . We want LOTD back! Let those vampires try to raise their personal undead army once more and create the TOMB KINGS.

I don't know what you mean by this. Accessing wbs is quite easy, you literally press one button. And forming groups is not so complicated either, just say you're forming a group in /5, and I'm sure you will get people to join you. Opening all wbs is just a bad idea. It would mean people will join organized guild wbs, without any comms, or any knowledge of how to play and what to do. It would be terrible and frustrating. Same goes for small groups. You want people with certain skills and experience. Of course, if someone is willing to make a 'learning' group for nubs, be my guest. Destro has a number of pug wb leaders that coordinate with each other. This way people learn to follow and listen to orders, no matter what they are.
