I have a DREAM

[Nikt]

From my experience with RoR so far, reducing the renwon rate won't do anything. This game is about the simple, yet brutal, joy of hunting down an opponent like prey. Twenty-four people aren't chasing one person for some grand prize, and I see it very often. There's something about this game that makes an organized warband dismount and kill when I'm solo. Maybe it's the killboard, maybe it's boredom that RoR doesn't offer any new PvP, or maybe it's just that we humans are bloody beasts?

I've been apart of every one of these 100% winstreak LOTDs and would like to confidently state that order wins then despite you, rather than thanks to you, dear Cretur.

Repeatedly when you were asked to assist in a fight or perform some manner of objective, you replied that this just isn't your style and played alone. You then only deigned to participate after the negative consequences of your actions actually manifested, and even then, briefly.

I suspect that despite the general backlash to your playstyle you will still either disbelieve everything that is said to you, or invoke the "this is not our style" as a defense mechanism. I'm sure this is the mentality you preach to your players too, that all the organized warbands are soulless RR farmers who just want to see numbers, while you are the only one "truly playing the game".

You are welcome to continue believing anything you like, even if we disagree with you, but if you believe yourself to be what is driving order, then this theory will eventually be tested. When this happens, I hope to see you learn from it and make conclusions. But even if you don't, your players will make these conclusions for you.

Because even one solo guy can reset BO and be a headache.

I'm begging you, you can't be serious, can you ? Is that really why the warband is chasing all of praag?

Yea I agree totally with OP, wanted RvR to get back to its original state for along time. Dont see it happen with todays playerbase and Guilds but one could dream.

Sieges are just not very fun, and deffo not worth all the effort going into building and maintaining a guild warband roster.

I think that 1 statement hits the nail on the head. Played DAOC for 15 years and sieges just felt so much more engaging, you could blow holes in the walls, multiple classes could climb walls, you could port into keeps and there were multiple keeps in close proximity leading to split pushes and more options. It just felt less of a chore to siege and the sieges were somehow more fun, keep layouts were also better in DAOC imho. Warhammer Online the lack of wall breaches leads to turtle fests funnelling through chokepoints.

Nothing RoR can change, they can't introduce trebs and destroyable walls, they're working with the assets they're given.

Solo roaming is so much better in RoR though because you don't have to take a boat or port and run a mile to find fights, so whilst sieging is worse, general rvr is 10x better such that I prefer it when sieges fail or they're over quickly so normal pvp can resume!

Just me 2p!

There used to exist some actual gameplay during Sieges, Because Wl could pounce to keep walls+Melee healers/Lifetappers Could Hit door and heal others. Engi/Magus could pull people from fort/keep walls etc. Now its all sterilized and the slower gameplay just really kills the mood to play everytime i itry to log in and enjoy some PvP. Scs are only thing that has something i would consider PvP. I used to love RvR and all aspects of it.

We desperately need guard BO's back and locking Bo's mechanic back. Also we need the Supply Runner back, why was this changed so we have to run them instead of the runner? Runner had 25% Mount and it could be healed, damaged, snared all of that. Everything is now streamlined to death:E All layers from RvR/PvP removed..
