Return of Reckoning

There must be something done to help those players who stop before they even really get a chance to start.

Regardless of the specifics we agree there, and I do agree with the changes overall.
The renown grind will probably also be a lot more tolerable if or when RvR gets reworked away from box ...

New players might find it hard to get in dungeons though, and probably leveled "incorrectly" so hit 40/45 and are standing there with the armor equivalent of wet toilet paper getting shredded by anyone who's played more than a few months.


The fact that players have to get told to micromanage ...

Similar topics have been raised on this forum many times, but they do not produce results. It is obvious that the developers are on the side of veterans who, with the stubbornness of sheep, believe that everyone should go the same way as they did. A completely short-sighted position, but it is ...

No one I've spoken to who levels purely through SC can keep their RR up to their CR with the current balance. It still won't be ahead even if you do weekly RvR every week, which is already a pretty decent time investment, unless your faction is the winner every week.

Well right now half the classes are seen as undesirables in ORvR. So it's understandable to prioritize a foundation of viability for everyone instead of creating a great ORvR that only half the classes can even play.

Agreed wholeheartedly with the general gist of OP's post.

ORvR is in a rough state right now, there is little objective based play because it is so unrewarding to do.
Eventually, smashing blobs into each other in mid gets boring.
Of course, it's still fun enough to log in for a few hours, but I ...

The idea that an undefended or uncontested BO, keep, zone, whatever is a "handout" seems strange and silly to me.
The enemy realm fails to show up to something that contributes to realm war victory and it's my WB's fault?

It's not ideal that there are times when players will be avoiding the enemy ...

The moment I read this exchange I had a feeling it was code or bug related, lol.

I had a similar thought in my own feedback thread.

SC's just don't give enough RR to even keep up with much less exceed your CR and make leveling a headache because you are constantly trying to keep your RR ahead of curve.

This has a snowball effect of people avoiding any content that isn't orvr ...

Anecdotes about whether something does it doesn't pop don't prove much anyway, because it's going to vary by tier and timezone and lots of other factors.
If you try to do event SCs during later NA times bleeding into Oce, you're going to wait an hour for a pop and when they are "back to back" it ...
