Changelog 09/09

[Jaycub]

- The first zone to be loaded by the server in a given tier will be open, and all others will be locked. Battlefield Objectives and Keeps in a locked zone cannot be taken.

Going to be interesting to see how this changes things, I was for it, but a lot were against it. I'm hoping it stops stagnant RvR, and forces people to fight, and if one side starts dominating too hard, it will give people a fresh start in a new zone so they can at least try and bunker up a keep.

[Azarael]

If we're going to force people to spread out more, we need to focus our population into a single lake IMO.

So do taking keeps give items?

5 Medallions are granted, like before.

Sweet thanks for the info. What can we buy with Medallions?

[Demoriel]

Do you get area influence for taking BOs and Keeps again?

[Disc0nnected1]

So what is "I take responsibility for any bugs and failures in the implementation - but not for the direction of this update." suppose to mean?

[Azarael]

It means that while the implementation is mine, the ideas behind it are not, so don't blame me for any gameplay-related failures.

I really don't want to be responsible for the Open RvR design, so I will be listening to community feedback and propositions for what to do.

[Penril]

You can all blame me.

However, when a zone is locked, the other one should stay locked for at least 5 minutes so it gives time to the guys who locked the zone to fly and get ready for the new fight.

Also BOs should reset once zone opens.

[Kacia]

This sounds amazing aza!

[Renork]

This affects t1 as well I'm assuming? So if Empire is locked, then elf/dwarf have to be locked next? I like t1 <3

[Mec]

If people don't like this just make the zone lock like it did before the rr80 patch.
Meaning if 1 realm controls everything the zone locks for 30min.
Just here it's 1 realm controls everything the zone locks and another opens after maybe 5min.
Oh and don't forget the lock tick for the people that capped the bo's,keeps and killed people.Not for the people that just sit inside the wc.
I don't know how hard it is to do but i really don't care either way.

I just want to have fun.
