It is important to try and understand original designer intent. Why?
Because 70% of what is in this game is still here and untouched.
This is really just a reference piece. I will be referencing this in different threads.
Base morale gain on the retail servers was 36 morale gain per sec for a full group.
Morale gain on the retail servers was 10 morale gain per sec if you were solo
Here on RoR it is 10 morale per sec for 90% of the situations if your in a group or solo.
If you valued fast morale gain rates you would run racial groups.
Racial morale gain tactic provided 5% additional morale gain per same race member.
6 same race members in the group = 30% additional morale gain.
Banners provided additional morale gain per banner. A guild could have up to 3 different banners running at one time. When planted a banner would provide morale gain for all guild members in the area.
I am unsure of the amount of morale gain per banner it only states its a significant amount.
We will assume banner gain rates of 15% per banner.
Racial group with banners at 15% per banner
So thats (racial group 30%) + (3 banners 45%) = 75% additional morale gain.
RoR morale gain rate 90% of the time
10 morale per sec
Retail morale gain rate with a full group
36 morale per sec
Mixed group retail with 3 banners at 15% per banner = 45%
((36 morale per sec * .45) + 36 = 52.2 morale per sec
Racial group 30% additional morale gain no banners
46.8 morale per sec
Racial group with banners at 15% per banner (3 banners)
((36 morale per sec )* 0.75) + 36 = 63 morale gain per sec
Time needed to reach morale 4. Morale 4 is 3600 morale.
RoR server morale gain
10 morale per sec = 360 sec's = 6 minutes
Mixed group retail server's morale gain with no banners
36 morale per sec = 100 sec's = 1 min 40 sec's
Mixed group retail servers morale gain with banners at 15% per banner = 45% additional morale gain
52.2 morale per sec = 68.9 sec's
Racial group without banners
46.8 morale per sec = 76 sec's
Racial group with banners at 15%
63 morale per sec = 57.14 sec's
This obviously doesn't account for any morale gain items that players may have.
The sweet spot with morale gain is 60 morale per sec. Why? At 60 morale gain per sec you will achieve your morale 4 in 60 sec's. The cooldown of the use of morale's is hard set at 60 sec's. At 60 morale gain per sec this will allow you to set up cycle's of morale 4's.
60 morale per sec provides:Genisaurus wrote:The morale bar is 3600 points.
You need 360, 720, 1800, and 3600 moral total for each level.
You generate 10 morale each second that you are in combat, base.
Morale 1 within 6 sec's
Morale 2 within 12 sec's
Morale 3 within 30 sec's
Morale 4 within 60 sec's
To provide contrast on RoR server
Morale 1 within 36 sec's
Morale 2 within 72 sec's
Morale 3 within 180 sec's
Morale 4 within 360 sec's
I'll write more about this later.
