oRvR and Scenario

[Stophy22]

Sad to always see account termination as a possible fear for voicing an opinion. I agree with most things you said, would be nice if forts were not vanquisher locker and cities weren’t invader locked, and here’s why.

On my dok I don’t use vanq or invader I use onslaught and that is considered very good gear. I shouldn’t have to go grind a different set that I view was inferior just to progress.

Using that broad example I’m sure there are other classes with similar issues like tanks that go 2hand would much rather get oppressors than vanq and would rather grind pve to get blood lord than etc.

So content restrictions should go based on a ward system. Before wards got reworked into, “Equip Redeye to obtain.” They had different ways of achieving them like:

participate in 50 keep takes
Kill x boss 50 times
Get 5000 killing blows in pvp

And achieving any one of these things got you your ward. Or maybe all of them my memory is foggy.

Using the above information what if the lesser ward “Redeye” came from doing other things as well, like equipping a full set of conq/dom or killing the bosses of bb/be or crypts and tunnels 4times (full set)

“What’s this have to do with forts/city you pve nerd?”

Well what if “sent (greater) ward” was what was required to be able to do a fort. And the quota for getting it was completing any of the following:

-equip all Sent Armor
-equip vanq/oppressor set
-get x kills in orvr
-participate in x zone locks
-complete chapter 22 pqs of each pairing x times

Using that as an example you could derive something similar for bloodlord ward and relation to cities and gear sets on similar terms.

This system allows the game to be broken into “tiers” that expand past tier 4. Basically means that if you’re in an armor set of comparable value or have achieved something of comparable value to what is required for this content then you are allowed to do it participate in it.

Gives players more of a choice in how they play the game and what they do with their time rather than being forced to walk the same path of progression as everyone else.

Also I’ve been there and done that on all this stuff so it’s not for personal gain it’s just trying to figure out how to make the game better for newer players who still need to experience everything
