Is there anything you can do about Order/Destro hopping?

T....

Torquemadra brings up good points that will help combat against the "flip flopping zerg" but are also just fundamental to original WAR.
1. Defense rewards
2. Defensive siege?(I'm thinking oil here but if oil is in the game we need all siege to make it fair)
3. Radar bug showing enemies on map is reducing guerilla warfare

While I don't personally know what the devs are working on I think these 3 points would make for a more enjoyable RVR experience.

For oil you don't need other siege. Since it can be easily killed by RDPS. But oils and rams coming back would change the flow of battle.

Something I think you overlooked is the fact that posterns are still not reliable. It makes it hard to do hit and run attacks on the enemy flanks. If you can't get back inside after.

But even with better siege mechanics, I would say a certain amount of flip flopping / warcamp guarding is just innate to the game.

If you don't mind me asking (anyone can answer btw), which posterns are currently the most buggy/unreliable/unimplemented? I can take a look at a few of them and look it over with the developer that handles the code for it, and try to get them fixed. Some are simply unreliable due to wall thickness (inner posterns of dark elf keeps), while some could have a bugged code.

Elf T3 destro keep comes to mind. The WC side door works fine, but both order WC side and back entrance work 50% of the time only. I believe the same is true for the Empire T3 Order keep, the postern located left of the main door.

Talabecland Order keep seems that you can only use postern like 1% of the time. Just makes a tavern/brewery noise when you interact with it if it helps.
You'll usually see order trying to suicide for the Keep Door, we do this alot
Elf and Dwarf for order seems fine

Banning people will definetely not help. I have 1 char on Order and 2 on Destro, but that doesnt mean I xrealm.

It all depends on what kind of a person the player is...

[Waaghaa]

if xrealiming is banned somehow that wont help cos ppl that go to winning side will just log off instead of the realm hop. So who will win from that? Less players into the lake is something that eveyone suffer from

We only know if your statement holds true, if it is implemented.

As it is now, once the single WB that is left after the major switch is done (which happens each night nowadays) and starts facing impossible odds with +4 full wb's roaming the lake, then you will find them all in a WC, guarding the mailbox - granted they are still in the lake, sort of, but they might aswell log off, there is nothing they can do, really.

Yes but those 4 warbands get nothing out of zerging. The amount of exp/renown the zerg gets is nerfed when no one defends keeps to pretty much nothing and I do believe they are working on doing this for BOs as well. The free ride is coming to an end. So if people want to zerg they are more than welcome to. I will make more off 400 aao in one kill

we know that because that was the case at retail WAR... When one of the sides got overpopulated at the lakes the other one just logged off or went to do pve. At least here at ror you being at overpopulated side have the choise to switch to underpopulated realm and fight.
So more ppl into the lake more fun for everyone. How is so hard to see that is beyond me

[FreddyNoNose]

How about that. Let every player/account choose just once between the two sides and after that pick you can't create toons of the opposite side anymore... locked to one faction, forever

We've had this argument a thousand times already. RoR being f2p means everybody can create 2 accounts and realm hop even if you restrict factions

And nobody has ever really addressed the counter: Ban multi accounters. Except for that one guy that goes "Please no my girlfriend/boyfriend/brother/roomate/dog plays this game also from my house". And even then there can be exceptions worked out. A few people will get around it but not most.

And this gentleman is how we started getting convoluted rules. haha. It is just not well thought out.

Empire seems especially bad recently. The backdoor works, but the outer posterns in T3 often don't work. I haven't tried chaos keeps personally, but I have been told that it was the same for destro.

I occasionally have the same problem in dwarf, but it's very rare. With Empire it is most of the time now. Thanks for looking into it!
