GM's force locking RvR zones

[Punch2Face]

So I was just in Nordland in tier 1 on destruction, having a grand old time guarding Festenplatz. We owned all 3 objectives, and as far as I know there weren't really any Order in the zone contesting anything. All of a sudden, the zone locks for Order. No messages from GM's in the chat channels, nothing.

I can understand the GM's forcing people to get off of the boat objective when it's been 100%-100% for an hour, but when neither side has even gotten the zone progression to 50%? That's just cheap. I don't know who did it, it didn't give any messages or anything. Just locked the zone. But I would suggest taking a look at the logs to see what's going on, because it completely killed the near-full warband I was in. Everyone just got off to go PvE because there's no point in trying to do anything when some punk is just going to use cheat codes to lock zones in their favor...

This shall end poorly

As far as I know, it is only the boat that is bugged. I wasn't on the boat. I was at Festenplatz because I had just logged on and figured that if I wanted to fight that was probably the best place to go. I, like you, take a dim view to an entire warband sitting on one BO. There were 3 of us on the one I was at. Yesterday I think it was, one GM nuked the boat and killed everyone that was exploiting that. I feel like that was a better solution than just locking the zone, because there were people, such as myself, who weren't exploiting the higher-than-normal experience there. But I'm not a GM, so you guys do you.

I also just barely started playing on this server, so I didn't even know that sitting on a point was exploiting. What I have noticed is that if no one is on a point, it goes neutral.

I just don't feel like it's very fair to people like me who were actually trying to play the game that frankly got cheated out of the rewards of a zone flip.

Plenty of zone flips to go around! Personally I'm sorry you had a bad experience but honestly that's what the Alpha messaging is for.. you gotta roll with the punches sometimes.

Blame the cheaters, not people enforcing rules.

How much is each tick supposed to give (xp,rp,inf)?

[zgolec]

Crying about GM/Dev enforcing rules and zone flip in t1 where they flip like 1 zone per hour? Lulz.

[Hargrim]

Not 1000 xp.

Would be funny if you guys coded in a pirate ship that one shots people afk on the boat.

I find the exp ticks annoying, it's rr you want.

I've noticed a sharp increase in Nordland of the first faction to get to boat all piling in to farm the obscene exp ticks and ignore the other two bos.
