Return of Reckoning

can we expect to see the late game renown sets in the far off future? renown 50 60 70 and 80 sets? they had beautiful artwork on them. im not here to spread falsehoods. the developers work extremely hard and well on reviving this game, I have nothing but respect, but an official answer would be nice. also wondering if raids are going to come back. to my understanding the goal is to bring the game back to full potential if possible at whatever time they can, is that correct?... now a comment for the fans not the developers (on an off note, not expecting an answer or reply to this part, officially developers have already said it WONT happen, id just like to say I fully support any ideas of reviving other capital citys or adding new content such as bretonnian classes, I know the official answer to this is "it will never happen" but id just like to say I fully support experimentation on these concepts after a full game is accomplished thank you guys so so so much for your hard work)

The sets will be returning once we have a method to distribute them. This means enabling capital city raids and fortress battles, AND making sure they work effectively so they're not gamed, as happened all too often on live with empty instances and imbalanced teams. Beyond RR80 is, quite frankly, a mess. DF/WF and much of the green gear from renown vendors is wildly overpowered and would need a lot of attention to be viable. We're not fans of the insane power creep that hit during the last era of the game.

As for other capital cities, the only ones possible would be Dwarf/Greenskin, as those had been partially created. They would require a lot of work to make functional, and it's not certain if we would pursue that course at all. Elves don't have any existing city data that I'm aware of.

New races/factions as you guessed will not be introduced.

Does conqueror and invader was distribute in capital city siege ? Only remember dropping warlord and sovereign in those . But maybe I'm wrong !

Keep bags drop.

Conq was from fortresses. Invader from 1st stage of city siegies. Warlord was 2nd stage of city and Sov came from king instance/stage

Those changes were part of the power creep when Anni was pushed down to T3.

Pre-DF/WF era however...
Conq Fortress battle
Invader Stage 1 city PvP siege battle
Warlord Stage 2 city PvE city bosses
Sov Stage 3 city/boss fight

The specific implementation this time around will be dependent on the devs that develop the content of course.

I believe that was the case only up till 1.3.0. At that time Conq and Invader began dropping in RvR and scenarios. Fortresses were removed and Warlord and Sov became city armor sets. 1.4 changed it again as the scaled down version of Sov was introduced. So with that, city dropped Baby Sov, Full Sov and all the rest were RvR / SC drops.

Soon after LotD was released Conq was awarded for capturing the enemy camp in LotD.

There was also the crests wich dropped if you killed a higher renown rank player then yourself. Killing a higher rr player then yourself while you were 40-50 rewarded Conq crest, 51-60 Invader Crest 61-70 Warlord Crest and 71-80 Soverign Crest. The crests could be combined with Officer Medalions to purchase a peice of that gear linked with the crest. Later on they changed so any player would randomly drop a Crest if they were within those rr ranges instead of guarenteed crest if the player was highe rr then you.

In the beginning you couldnt buy it with crests though, was only obtainable from the bags (if RNG gods love you that is, kinda similar situation as with the genesis set atm )
