Changelog 14th May 2016

[Theseus]

Well it is not the Annihilator Wipe that concerns me. But as I get the notes and what I heard from players in game, you cant get bags or meds if the keep is defended. That is a problem in my point of view.

It is a problem, because, now it is a strategical method of denying the enemy loot if you are not sure to win. With the former system you were punished for not defending. Now you wont, so no need to defend if you are weaker. And witout a realistic chance of an award there is no point in attacing either, so I fear, this decision may have killed RvR while in effect.

Most of the players are game addicts, they might be pissed about wipe and are not playing now but they'll come back in a few days, trust me
Most of us came here 2years after shutdown and will come back whatever the odds, so the orvr will be alive and well soon

I didnt mean they stop playing at all, they will do sc, or the pq or whatever, but not the pretty senseless Open RvR.

So even if the game as a whole wont suffer, the open RvR will be dead for now.

rvr looks almost dead now, no any keep attack

[zumos2]

That for me is definitely not worth wiping the gear and demoralising/pissing players off.

I fail to see how 2 almost full warbands earlier today just standing around in Praag waiting for others to cap the keep is not a definition of "not worth it"? Yes, I have several screenshots time lagged because I couldn't quite believe my eyes.

AFAIK, there may well be a few people who ground out RvR properly to gain medallions/gear but they are in the minority compared to those who benefited from the issues now patched.

Hopefully now people will be incentivised to actually leave the wc's and actively participate. It's a bit demoralising for the rest of us dieing and then running out from the wc past the same "afk'ish" toons to go and die again due to a lack of support. I don't mind admitting, I just gave up earlier this afternoon and logged off due to getting highly pee'd off about getting nuked time & time again while I counted 30+ people loitering in the wc.

If you quote someone, you should quote everything that is relevant. You leave out my "that", and then disagree with exactly what you left out. You may believe it is worth pissing people off by delaying the time players get their annihilator gear by 1-2 weeks, I don't.

Oh and the change of only being able to get medaillons through kills will result into even more zerging around. But that's the whole problem: it is extremely hard to have a rvr system that on one hand promotes players to split up and on the other hand doesn't promote two realms avoiding each other.

- Officer's Medallions will no longer be awarded from locking a zone in Tier 4.

no inf/exp/renown too?

rvr looks almost dead now, no any keep attack

IMHO...No any Keep attack is because Oil is so OP and Rams cant be used...

[Njordin]

Keep sieges will happen again as soon as rams get fixed.

[Grobbok]

hope so, will be nice to pvd once more ;p

[Razielhell]

Keep sieges will happen again as soon as rams get fixed.

Oils discourage players standing under the Doors...dont you think? Currently 1 hit and dead.
