Return of Reckoning

We released a hotfix today which should address an issue people encountered when trying to complete live event credit for the weekend warfront.

This exact, literal, solution was tried before 3-4 years ago. And it has the exact same effect. Longer queues for a majority of players; sometimes even Healers or tanks, when the other utility archetype was missing.

Odd, I came here specifically to give praise for the SC changes.

- Queue times, especially on the weekend seems a lot better.
- Raising the information visibility of the what roles are queued is a huge QoL improvement alone.
- Adding in estimated queue time is also very valuable.
- Matches feel more balanced.

I've been here a long time too, this is better as far as I can tell.

I would love this. I think I heard there's a technical block to that. Something around objects and memory. I could be mixing it up with something else, though.

Edit: LoL and Max answered later in the thread.

I fail to see the wisdom in having this effect right on top of the Battle Objectives in RvR. It basically slows down and even breaks the fights. What am I missing?

It negates Destro's Morale advantage, and Order's healing advantage, while reducing overall damage and making fights last longer. Isn't that what people wanted?

At the very least it's a good way to test changes in a short term, and isolated manner.

Here are my thoughts after playing last night:

Mentor rewards: Not only do I think you missed the mark completely, but you actually managed to make me feel insulted. Here's what new (or sub-40s) players ask for help with in LFG or the new player guild chat, in no particular order of priority:
1. Dragonback Pass
2. Sewers
3. Mayhem
4. Ruin
Yet you only reward for helping with the first 2.

The insulting part is that you give out rewards for "helping" sub-40's in RvR by doing nothing more than happening to be in a party with one. So anyone who joins an open warband, putting in no special effort, will get the rewards.

What are you trying to accomplish with this system? As it stands it makes me, who was perfectly happy helping new players for no reward at all, not want to help any more. Since I spend a significant portion of my playtime with that, I'll probably end up playing less.

Scenario queues were very long. So long, in fact, that I ended up just playing one of them and did RvR instead.

sc rework is really nice and yesterday i had no problem with the q at all. Today i did a 3 men guild party and i had the problem that my two guild mates joined the sc but i didnt get any invite into the sc. I was still and q and i didnt get any quitter debuff. Got this problem two times in like 9 scs.

Presumably the point is to test what a longer TTK will do to the game.

I've been hearing of this issue quite a few times, we're going to be looking into this and hopefully have a fix soon.

Having really hard time to complete bonfire kills goal as a solo player, gotta camp the BOs, gotta spend kindling to light up the bonfire, get a chance someone is coming in the 6 minutes to make a kill without getting added by destro, and if some orders are around they can killsteal the credits..

This is terrible.
