Medallion / Devastator Wipe

[mickeye]

Logged off my Chosen after 1st PvDoor. Good decision to wipe the medallions. Hopefully more RvR fights like the one in Shadowlands will happen soon.

I agree with this wipe. Last night i was on order and talked to a destro friend who usually plays both sides. When i told him to log on order and stop zerging, the reply was "im farming medallions".

Good decision.

What a jerk

[zhomp]

Come on guys, calm down a bit. Step away from the keyboard when you cant control your emotions and give yourself some rest. We all love this game and should find together a solution.
Anyway: even that im almost exclusively playing Destro, i approve this decision. Sucks to lose all this stuff and your time, but dont look back, look forward and learn from this.

Spoiler:

Order lose big fight 4 mand after medalions was added .

Thay was losing like us (im destro pl no single order char) last 2 weaks thay goes off or reloged to destro.

Thay sterted farming on destro side alts . Fights was not funny i prefer losing than thys i will not cry after my 45 medalions lost.

But there is no problem whean order dominate and we are bombed whole time by 2kotb +2bw +2wp squads thay not loging than to destro to balance sides but thay fast reloging to join wining side .

There is no xp / rr wipes whean is 70 % - 30 % unbalance .
I think order wined again thats all.

Pls giwe us faction change timer .
Or let log in only to lover populated faction if pl hewe chars on both sides.

sry 4 my english

clear +1

On one side is your doing of course, but what about the players a lot of time for the farms of Medalions have invested? What can the Destros for that was the order represented so weak? Now we are the ones the unfair (lost time, almost sleepless night) were treated. MMorpg's are usually structured so that you have to afford what (time) to the front to be a participant. I personally made the decision very angry and I think some other players also, so I want to suggest to you also fair to the Destros be and to think of an alternative.

Firstly, most if not all of the players up all night invested that time because they knew something was wrong and wanted to milk it.

Secondly, people calling it "work" or investiture of time just betrays that you knew it was wrong. When I play a game for enjoyment, it's play, not work. Clearly you all weren't.

Thirdly, if we're talking about compensation, let me put a request in:

- In exchange for all the hours of development time so far, I'd like to request the compensation of people actually trusting my word instead of not bothering to read any of the posts and posting absolute rot like Frad's post.

I know it suits some people's viewpoints to ignore the fact that the wipe was about the Devastator gear and not about Destruction, but please - the rest of us aren't brain dead and you're accomplishing nothing by lying.

but order xp/rr

Except to most of the server, XP and RR are WORTHLESS.

You know this full well. Most people are capped. The gear and medallions that were wiped gave you a significant and unearned advantage, and this is precisely why everyone is so mad about it.

I play Destro, I was at a number of the keep takes last night for many hours and stayed up way too late.

and.....

I think this is 100% the right thing to do and I'm really impressed with how well the dev team responds to and understands problems.

Half afking, watching netflix/hulu/youtube in another monitor for 10 hours shouldn't equal the best gear, period. Last night felt like what Warhammer on live did at release when everyone first hit 40. It's what drove a lot of the old school DAoC players away from the game. Last night my friends and I were reevaluating playing here, if this was what "pvp" (I use that term very loosely) was going to be like.

I'm trilled this was addressed and really impressed to see the deeper understanding of the game the devs have.

For those that are complaining, do you remember that the DEVS are working on RoR in THEIR FREE TIME without getting PAID? Without them, we wouldn't be playing WAR!!

Calm down.

The time some of the most vocal users are WASTING in whining could be perfectly used to discuss the required reforms that the solution needs.

Regarding to Deva gear: I firmly think that one, albeit smaller, reason that people switched to Destro was because of the high cost of the set. I think it should be lowered to 128 medallions total. When people see the journey WILL take long, they find ways to efficiently make the journey shorter. On the other hand, if the journey wasn't so long, people would not xrealm as much.

Just my opinion.

Aza, lets me clarify. Quite a few of us invested the time because for quite a few of us WAR was always about roaming or scs, whatever solo or in 6man. As such, when there is a feature introduced which forces us to do the keep zergfest, we are trying to get over with this crap as fast as possible and then get back to what we are playing WAR far.

[carnagehunts]

I agree with the decisions made, it was necessary although the negative reaction to this is understandable. But when ORVR turns into pve farming it's not fun for either faction regardless of the rewards obtained. Open 2 realms at a time, that should bring back the spirit of ORVR, strategic warbands, 6 mans taking bo's to halt and deter, scouts watching and informing on troop movements. This could be the solution, but there is still a long way for this server to grow and become even better each time.

(NEW EDIT:)

This post before editing wasn't nice. It had a some words who was not nice calling Developers. So I changed it. I should (like everyone) respect Devs so I sorry for my last posts. I again sorry for that. I hope You don't be angry on me. Wipe was a bad idea but nvm. Anyway thanks for a nice T2 elves update)
Greetings.
