Small scale pairing

[Brakh]

After playing in the current meta for a while, I've noticed that blobs are becoming a growing problem and impacting the overall health of the game. I know there are many small groups that would like to be able to participate in fewer zerg fights.

What are your thoughts on dedicating one of the available pairing to this activity?

A few ideas for this game mode:
- Changing the warband size from 24 to 12
- Damage/healing debuff for clumping groups
- Disabling SOR/AAO for this zone
- This zone would be rather dedicated to more competitive veterans so maybe some sort of new type of incentives for participation like pets, cosmetics etc?

Tune down the aoe damage values and by 25-30%.
Tune down healing by 10%.
Reduce the number of targets hit back to 9, like it used to be.

This braindead blob gameplay that this game has drifted into is a tragedy. Make RoR great again!

Smaller groups already can participate in scenarios. Plenty of people enjoy the big fights.

good ideas

Agreed. The blob has ruined a game designed around the 6 man.

Its all aoe. 3 button game and axes hitting 24? All aoe should only be 3 to 9. 3 for melee and 9 for casters.

As I mentioned above, I'm not proposing to change the entire game. Just adding a new, completely optional mode for people who aren't interested in large-scale combat.

mass scale is all about just that, scale.

i'm sorry you didn't get to play during peak RoR, when 5 oWBs were constantly coordinating and trying to out manoeuvre the other 5 oWBs on the enemy side.

and this is the only suitable answer to blobbing. make a 24-man with coms and out flank the enemy.

blobs are about as overrated as x-realming. an experienced, well geared, oWB can send a blob of pugs back to the warcamp real fast. i've seen this, i've done this. you want this.

frankly, leave wpvp as it is. every other MMO and their grandma is doing smallscale. you are spoiled for choice. but when it comes to massive armies duking it out, the choices become very slim.
