Return of Reckoning

HI all,

First of all i would like to thanks Developers/ GM`s and everyone behind curtain who we dont see or interact , for keeping alive awesome game like warhammer online.


Now back on track. I will try explain my request/suggestion.

As game is in state as it is ( not complaining ^_^ ) I noticed that i must put significannt ammount of time in RvR lakes in order to progress as Warrior Priest healer (gear wise).I know that i must put some time into game to get reward but cause of my working hours and type of job i do ...i dont have much time to spend in Rvr lake like i used to. Sometimes i spend more time in night and thats caused by my "never play alone" daughter in morning and afternoon. So I cant focus on groups or WB like i used to ,play for longer time undisturbed.

From live server as in here im REAllY! like ( love) Scenarios....fast and easy nor requiring commitment to grp or anything else just que and play...

My question is it possible to implement something like conversion of SC (Currency) to Rvr (Currency) in ratio 5 to 1 or/and even 10 to 1,maybe piece of equipment( bought scenario gear) + scenario currency ? .As im planing to stay longer i definitivly will be able to buy stuff for SC medalions .But with this state of game and my life i cant go anywhere beyond SC gear as WP healer(which is in my case melle option) without putting serious time in it. Thing is as a backline WP healing class i need some of RVR gear to be competitive healer. As for jewelery sets from rvr i dont mind if they are droping from bags there must be something to do in Rvr after all^_^.

I know that there are SC premades which will abuse this .. on both sides by abuse i mean spam SC till they get gear .. but what if SC matchup system prioritarize 6v6 for groups instead joining 12 vs 12 or 18 vs 18 this will make premades fell like working on their reward and not farming SC.

Join a warband, even if rvr is a pain and beg for conq medaillon drops and lucky rolls. This is what I did. After a few sessions you have enough to buy Annihilator set. It does its job, while Conq would be better but it is no option with its current price tag.

Just one thing here:
Premades generally don't care about gear acquisition, as they have no issues whatsoever getting their fair share of emblems/medallions, regardless of conversion, droprates and such.
The only thing thats a bit tricky for them is PvE-related gear, as they generally have no interest in grinding NPCs ~ as they can grind many more pugs in the same time.

As to the conversion proposed, well, Torque and other RoR staff have plently of times declined the idea as it might harm the carrot-and-stick situation, would make the math behind the itemization etc. alot more tricky and divert attention from RvR to SC, which is generally considered harmful in terms of game design and such on the long run.
It generally is a good idea, in my personal opinion - and many would very much enjoy such a conversion, but there are legitimate reasons as to why its not a thing yet and likely won't be a thing in the future.

One can, I think, expect conversions from officier to conquerer medallions once new RR-related gear drops, but that'd likely be about it.

I think the OP is referring to the time sink required to get things like conq over the much smaller time sink to get things like dominator. This has been hashed out in other threads, so I don't think the devs current mindset is to allow a conversion between medallions and emblems (but they're in control and could change this mindset at any time.. so take my statement as a participant, not a leader).

So, with that in mind, here's what I, a self proclaimed casual player, currently do: I don't worry about conq. Get your Anni from your time in RvR, if that means joining a warband or running around with a group.. whatever your play style, just have fun. Anni is relatively easy to obtain. When you have the time to put 3-4 hours into a zone, then maybe you can think about rvring (I do this more on the weekend or my dedicated game nights of Thursdays). In these cases, it's still going to be hard to obtain conq, but you also have a shot at Genesis and subjugator. When you're not rvring, do scenarios. Join up with people and just have fun. The stat disparity is relatively small so having Anni and a mixed bag of jewelry and weapons will make you semi competitive in scs. Being in an active guild or alliance makes this much easier to do, as you can find people who will always group up with you.

Edit: if solo queue scenarios is your thing, I think you have to accept what that comes with. You might be going up against guild groups, hardcore premades, or even just pick up groups from /5. Just being in a group with a semi-decent setup and being on voice comms puts you miles ahead of even the best players on the server if they're solo and you're not. Last night my guild ran with 3 dps, one WP, and two knights, one of which was 33, and we did great in scenarios (although we were playing with people like Volgo, Thorbolt, and Rioz so maybe they carried us a bit), but we only did well because we were in comms together.
