Not difficult to do. Held off on it because of the threat of a player with high contribution on the losing side deciding to crossrealm, knowing that he gets rewarded while offline.

Does a player's zone contribution reset if he relogs or crashes? Assuming he's online and in the zone at the time of the lock.

No, it does not. I believe I answered the question on a previous page or changelog topic.

Have a question about the AoEe cannons, since these increase in damage based on targets they hit, are they affected by Turrets, Lions, Squigs, Deeamons etz aswell coz that just an incent to bring less of those classees.

Any valid target for the cannon counts as a hit.

What's with the giant demons appearing after zone locks?

Feedback from last night in TM taking BO's during the keep stand-off. Was getting small amounts for Objectives (100-200 rr/inf) and we were getting a small amount of kills.

But if I understand how the VP bar is the indicator for contribution? If that's so it seems that skirmishing kills have a fairly quick decay rate.

cheers

PS I also just want to say that performance is really great this weekend, all times in RvR around Keeps with large numbers and minimal lag.

The VP bar's display is broken atm.

I'm still waiting for the in game dating service.

I'd advise just filtering drmordread. Even on the rare occasion that he makes a reasonable point, if it truly is a reasonable point then someone else will also make it.

Renown from siege is reduced by 90%.

How does that work? I dropped oil and got 700-980 renown per kill with 0 aao.
Are the numbers you see already reduced or are the numbers you see reduced when they are added to your bars?

If it's the former then there will probably end up being another massive renown rank gap between those that hog/spam siege weapons and those that go for regular kills (200 renown or so.)

[Azarael]

How it should work is that while 100% of the damage is received by the target as "damage taken", only 10% is added to your personal tracking pool. So when the target dies, your contribution is recorded as (personal damage done / total damage taken) and you receive 10% of the rewards. I might have forgotten to include oil... I'll check.

We locked KV the other night (and triggered the realm domination) and I got something like 12K Influence and some crazy amount of renown. That was from about 2.5 Hours of constant BO capping and participating in total 3 keep attacks and 1 defence of the south KV keep that we took as we sieged north. Just wanted to say I’m really liking the new reward system if this is the case.


I’m honestly amazed at how much renown/INF that netted me when we finally locked the zone. That was with about 100+ vs 100+ people too. Not to mention the amount of medallions as well. The constant Battlefield Objective fights netted me something like 100 officer medallions at least in a good night of RVR, plus a handful of soldier medallions which I can convert to officers. Well on my way to getting Annihilator.

Note: we have as yet to see a giant slaanesh demon, wazzat look like?
