Return of Reckoning

* urges to stop theorycrafring.

*continue non the less.

If you have 400 AAO and the enemy is holding 4 BOs. There is 1/4 of his force at one BO. So jump in, kill them 1:1. get four times RR and die heroically when the others arrive.

While i wholeheartedly agree with this statement, only really works with organized warbands, pugs just scatter when they see the enemy then its easy pickings for the zerg.

About Waithammer, i was waiting for this argument . So i'll ask you personnaly this.
If you and your team mates know there is an enemy on a specific place stealing YOUR PRECIOUS TICKS ( and you will know it very quickly), will you ignore him and let him live ?

If your answer is "YES" (i really doubt), i think thats not an issue, thats your will .
So unless 100% players (then everybody would be happy and this wouldn't be an issue) want to wait under a flag doing nothing, this wouldn't happen.

You want easy renown? Hold BOs and keep them. You want fights? Move around BOs you won't have to wait long to find some. You want lock and great rewards ( later)? Work with your faction and lock the zone. Waithammer? really?

Now, and as said, i'm maybe completely wrong, only tests will reveal the horrible truth .

but is anything going to be done to make people go to any other pairing besides empire vs chaos? People will continue to fight their regardless of whether the zone has locked or not as we have seen done so in the past

How to look when new mechanic (i think)



Sounds good really

P.D: My paint skill is GOD xD

Let say lock will mean LOCK.

problem is not that problem is population. t1 is dead mostly with barely 100 ppl online at pak hours so yea kinda meh as update i appreciate effort though

100 ppl in small t1 rvr lakes is like 200 ppl in t4 lakes

Please, tell me you'll turn everyone that tries to mindlessly fight on in locked zones into chickens.
I'd very much appreciate the sight of a bajillion chicken stubornly battling it out in Nordland.

Do you by chance plan to advance the entire system not only as a rework of the RvR system but maybe as a subsitution for the campaign/city fights?
Might be nothing but a wet dream of mine, but having the entire server move from tier to tier and zone to zone throughout the course of a campaign might be hilarious and could greatly help refresh the game and the community.
However, debolstering in all its glory and the leveling situation would have to be reworked entirely to faciliate that ~ so meh, won't happen, certainly.

On a serious note, how do you plan to enforce the lock properly without accidently scaring off new players?
Disclaimers or maybe even forced ports to the new zone?

Hi

We thought giving zero xp/rp/inf in locked zones, and as locked zones will never unlock until another pair is locked -> mindless fight should end as soon as players understand staying in empire is useless ^^

For new players I'll add a huge message middle of screen when entering locked lake, we'll see if it's enough

The nature of T1 is best summarized with the two words marked above. Emp t1 is the most easily accesible zone, its layout does allow for permanent confrontation and therefore most 'action' afterall.

I realized prompting a spontanous port to the other zones might be rather taxing on the server end of things, if not hella confusing for new players.
But have you thought about maybe having some makeshift portal or something alike pop up in the lakes?
It might trick even the greatest sadly-not-to-be-chicken-gladiators and send them straight into the other zones by virtue of curiousity.

E: The reason I'm bugging you about this:
New players that log in after Emp t1 flipped will wander off into empty lakes and, if we are talking about completly new players, won't even know how to get to the other zones to begin with.
I had quite some trouble in past with just that, guiding new players to lairs and such is a quite awkward experience - especially if they haven't played a MMO before.
As in regards to the motivation in T1, I think a good chunk of players in T1 are twinks or soon to be twinks with little interest in actual progression, or are otherwise decked out with mains or high level chars. They might stay regardless of disabled xp/rr gain, and if thats the case they might trick completely new players into staying aswell.
So its might come down, in regards to first impressions, to either empty zones or zerged zones with disabled progression.
Considering how littered the chat, especially /ad tends to be... the disclaimer might have to be in form of a popup rather than a screen prompt, tbh.

TLDR: Please, don't neglect accessibility and first impressions.
