Revisiting [Diminishing Rations] orvr
Posted: Thu Dec 09, 2021 2:03 pm
Hello,
One of the systems in this game to stop a realm from bunkering inside a keep and not run supplies, is the Diminihsing rations system. Basicly giving you a wounds debuff within the keep range, if too many players are staying there too long, and too few supplies are brought in (compare it to besieging a castle irl and starving the defenders)
I think the intentions of this system was alright when it was firstly introduced. But now it makes me wonder if it is still needed, or even working correctly.
A search on the Github does seem to prove the system has had a couple of issues with the wounds debuff values, but also procing while AAO is up. And one post I never got around to report, where the DR seem to kick in based on only the original keep-ownership. So only in the keeps that were originally Destro keeps and Order keeps, for their respectable realms on Live servers (as RoR runs with a randomized keepownership system when the zones open)
https://github.com/WarEmu/WarBugs/issue ... ng+rations
But all in all, I do wonder. Does this system still have a place for oRvR in 2021/2022?
Reducing your wounds against siegecanon fire, Best in slot damagedealers, morale drops, and whatever else. Is that even a fun mechanic, and if not are there any alternatives we can think of to use instead to serve the purpose of a mechanic to prevent keep camping?
Personally I would probably like to see DR just removed as its antifun imho. Or if it was to be kept in, make it more of a AP cost debuff for the campers, you know as they dont get enough supplies and hence have less energy to fight while being exhausted.
Thoughts?
