No one to play with in T1

[Athelred]

Here's an idea: keep the T1 experience to just Festenplaz, after all people just want to have fights to try out their new toons, not roam empty zones or carry boxes.

Make the T1 elf and dwarf zones into level 16-39 only. This creates a safe space for them from the RR60+ premades (16-39 can still play in T4 when it gets too one sided or when the guild premades invade the zone).

Only downside I can see is it steals away players from T4 orvr, but then again most of the time they are just cannon fodder for the RR60+ premades, whether they are in a pug wb or solo.

Level 16-39 is not an enjoyable T4 experience for most people. If you disagree because you like the bolster or because you can run in a strong group with your guild then you are free to stay in T4 and only jump to the safe zone when you want a fairer fight with someone your own size.

I don't know if it would actually work as I envisage but there's no harm in trying it for a month (I don't think it would take too much developer time?).

This is a nice idea! I like it!

Just put the lv1 mount a 40% speed increase, and suddenly T1 zones will be less of a pain...

There's nothing wrong with T1 Elf and Dwarf frankly - and if anything I like that they exist not just for variety but for people to start thinking a bit more strategically about RoR and not just zerg into fights mindlessly.

It's already a problem on the server for more than 50% of people having zero idea how to play on the maps or around objective both in oRvR or in Scenarios and dumbign it down even more to just Festenplatz I think is a bad idea and encourages even more uneducated gameplay.

No - T1 needs more people making warbands and playing as groups, so when they enter T2+ prepared and encouraged for Warband plays.

3h+ festenplatz is some of the most fun ive had in this game

[Sulorie]

Isn't T1 the place where people know only one warcamp exit and get camped at their warcamp?

40% mounts would help in both other pairings but the Nordland rvr lake is rather small, 40% might be too fast already.

need more t1 events just for t1 characters
