AAO?

Hey,

Any chance of adding some type of AAO? Perhaps tie it to loot chance drop rate? Judging by all the crying about loot that seems to be all anyone gives a crap about. Outnumbered side gets a bonus and other side gets a penalty? Anything to discourage everyone from stacking on same side, which is becoming far too common.

Since AAO is server side calculation and server has lag/disconnect issus, it will not be added sooner than server will be close to 100% stability. It is my opinion.

Im quite sure thats not the problem here. The problem comes with free realm-switches (multi acc) as well as being restricted to just one Zone currently. Thats my guess

Edit: Also balancing AAO is quite hard. Because the live-AAO was **** tbh and there are better mechanics to be implemented.

Renown gaining bonus for objective captures and player kills up to 400% depending on how outnumbered you are.

And please don't implement it, at least not like how it used to be.

Sound good actually, but yeah, highly exploitable with both sides availability.

In a community this small, I see AAO as ping pong. Because so many players play both sides, and there is no lockout for switching realms, most will switch to the side that has AAO. 10 minutes later, the other side will have AAO. So people will switch back to the other realm. Rinse/repeat all day and all night long.

I can't see this working at all with no realm lockout timer.

What Telen said in a different topic about increasing attachment to individual characters / realms somehow is a prerequisite before we can even think about realm-linked privileges like AAO.
