To run a RELIC while mounted ...

I just think that running a relic while mounted is a very bad idea - it is too fast and the opportunity for some massive fights is limited.
Relic carrier should just use his own legs, like it is with Battle standards.

What do you think ?

You could also mount with the Relic last year I believe and it wasn't an issue, we had many-many massive fights and it was a super fun event. It's an event that again relies a lot on leaders organizing their side to deliver the Relic and it happens a lot less this year than last time, quite disappointing to be fair.

While maybe you can slow it down by not allowing mounting, you also enable tons of kiting against it which I think would make it far more annoying than fun compared to what it is now.

I think there are multiple issues though:

- Relic spawn is not visible enough and many people simply miss it.
- The map visibility bug should have been hotfixed, as you never know when it is a bug or it is up.
- This year Destruction seems to care A LOT LESS than Order, by miles

Maybe visibility could be improved if the relic only ever spawned in an active t4 pairing. This way it would have to cross at least one active zone where more people would notice it and potentially join the fights. :)

This is not a problem.
The problem is that people have already been several times with relics and have not received credit.

Yes, same experience here... Is this buged or is there something specific we have to do, to trigger the contribution for the relic? Maybe you have to be in the same group or wb? Would be a pity if we could not fullfil the event, only because the relic doesnt count...

No. I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure that last year you couldn't hold relic and be mounted. Then the relic holder couldn't just run away at full speed and the fights were super brutal and fun.

If so and my memory is foggy then sure, but I am afraid they won't make any changes now to it this year and have to wait another year.

Reikwatch is overall a bit disappointed at the lack of focus on the event from players, 1st day was very fun then it just became forgotten.

i just dont bother anymore. half the time i receive no reward and the relic always spawns at inopportune times(at the start of a keep siege, during large scale battles etc.)
was great the first day but i just cant be bothered. the event rewards arent the greatest either/

Sauntering all the way across three zones, and halfway across two more in the hopes that you might get one blob fight isn't exactly compelling gameplay.
