Return of Reckoning

Well that is 7 pm to midnight GMT, and 8 PM to 1 Am CET. Gonna see most people on around then, as it is after dinner, school and work for most folks and before sleep. Largest uninterrupted block of leisure time for most people. Around midnight is when you will see numbers falling off. Which is why the servers pop drops by about 60% by the time NA primetime (8-12 EST) rolls around.

Ah, gotcha, i see that now. I am normally asleep by 8-10 pm depending on work schedule which is 3-5 am start time.

Conq is, lightly put, absurdly time consuming to get if you don't have the luck of ranald himself but considering it's endgame I'm pretty sure this is intended. Everybody loves (to complain about) a good grind

But on a different note the subjugator 10k player hunt would be cool, maybe do the same for genesis pieces or allow the option to exchange repeated armor pieces for medallions and then exchange trinkets for different trinkets.

I have a lot to say about limited time of play (40 hour weeks) but conqs achievable with enough persistence, and I'd rather the people who deserve it he the ones to have it running around the zone rather than everyone. It's a good milestone to reach for!

with bonus to next bag you don't need any quests, just play and make contribution in RvR. I have full conq on my main character and about 10 conq pieces that i salvage in 2 months, so there is no point to complane about loot system or difficulties with collecting set gear. Remember how long you farm it on live (at least in 2009-2010) and you will understand, that here is much easier.

I remember that grind wasnt it the grind for SOV and warpforge. Cant remember if warp was out or if it was just the weapons.

Well conqueror is not hard to get. Just time consuming.

I guess that's what I meant, getting a gold bag is hard; but getting a conq medal (singular) is not hard at all

Edit: fixed

I have some results, that I discovered today specifically.

Warband:
- After about 50 hours of playtime in RvR, I only accrued 225 Conq Medals (average of 4.5 per hour). This is by joining and being active in a full Warband each time, as a Tank
- Typically get about 5-10k renown per hour, unless we win - which is usually a 10-15% occurrence during the times I play for Destro

Roaming:
- Today, I joined a roaming party (of 6) and got 15 Conq Medals in 30 minutes (average of 30 per hour)
- I got over 60k renown in those 30 minutes, averaging about 120k renown per hour

Comparison of WB vs Roaming:
- 4.5 vs 30 Conq Medals per hour
- 10k vs 120k renown per hour

I think its safe to say, there is literally no reason to ever be in a Warband in this game, except for AFKing for free stuff.

You take into account that we have now 2x renown event?

Who could have thought that playing in a properly organized group in a multiplayer would yield the most shinies!
