Return of Reckoning

I think its obvious that Destro loses more than order. I think its obvious that some[most] Destro's classes are weaker than orders classes. I think its obvious that Order has a higher win rate in forts and zones than Destro. I think its obvious some classes on both sides need to be looked at and weaknesses and strengths need to be added. And lastly I think its obvious these are all pretty substantial problems with the game.

If you have a game where 1 side is winning 70% of the time then somethings wrong? I mean yes the other side could have better players but RoR has 1 server and roughly 1k players during prime and anywhere from 200-300 during dead hours. So a really skilled 24man warband could make a big difference, same goes for smaller skilled 6 mans. TUP and certain warbands cause Destro to win for the hours they are on but they aren't on 24/7/365 like pug player base. I think the word pug and braindead (albiet harsh) go hand in hand. Order has more braindead tools than destro does and the constant winnings really show that.

I just pray that the obvious issues that are happening in the game get addressed. It's a fun game and ill continue to support and play it, but loss after loss just weighs on you after a while... I think Tesq makes some pretty solid proposals but his ideas never go through. I think Peter has a lot of game knowledge even if hes a flaming elitist, no offense. The community is driven to love and appreciate this game and we want to help improve it but weird changes like Tank morales and WL rework are coming before what really matters. Forts are so mindless as stated by DokB that is just sad when you finally get into them that you're just waiting for your loss (on Destro) and 4 medal grind to full Invader. TBH I just want it for appearance as most tanks tend to roll 2hander if they don't play with a dedicated group of people. But that's me personally and we are all different. I think streamlining the way feedback is given and trying to get more of a voice form the community (and not just the forum dwellers) would be ideal, then to make changes based off of the feedback given. If the changes don't work as planned, REVERT THEM and try again. We are in alpha, or has that been forgotten? New content is released before fixing issues and changing things just to see how they work and test rarely happens. Nothing is wrong with new content but certain things should take priority? New sets and items released take much too long for the average person to grind. It's an alpha why does it takes 2k emblems for a set if you only get 7per win. PER WIN. heck you get 1 if you lose. But just don't lose ammirite? The game should be designed around the average players making it comfortable for them to enjoy and engage in the game so they come back, and allowing above average players to prosper and shine in the community. It really feels like people are scared to release stuff that is reasonably priced. I understand the gear needs to last long enough and be enjoyable and keep the game alive but WAR is borderline Korean MMO grind levels. We should be trying to get the best version of the game possible for our player base so it can grow and prosper. When you accidentally salvage an item is it refunded? No. When you spend 100g on a guild Cloak heraldry and F* up, still not compensated. Spent medallions on wrong piece? Better look where you're clicking bucko. My point is, with this kind of remorseless attitude toward the game why do you need to compensate changes to big changes like Morales or guards or whatever. Make a change. Does it work? Keep it. Does it suck? Work on making it better or go back to square one. Past devs and leads seemed to change the game on the fly and people gave feedback on things and if it worked it worked and if it didn't it was reversed. Experimental modes were added etc. A better working version of this could be really healthy, at least I think.

Certain classes under preform compared to their mirror. Work on them. Get feedback. Resolve.
Certain parts of the game aren't enjoyable as they should be. Work on them. Get feedback. Resolve.

There is a fountain of knowledge within the game everyday. For the record the amount of zones locking for each side SHOULD be monitored. And if its too hard to monitor which side is winning because players jump from realm to realm, disable it? Or just make it harder to access. I can guarantee if people had to make another account to play a different side, had to log fully out of the game, and then onto that new account and then log into that character they would be more inclined to stick with the side they're playing because people are lazy. 5-10 minute lockout (chicken mode) is always an option as well for relogging xrealmed characters. IDK it seems like there is some pretty obvious issues with the game and no one wants to tackle them or address them. Not just with destro losing or winning either. WL's need an AOE spec. WH/WE need to be warband viable. And I completely understand its a small workforce working for free behind a giant game which I respect. Greatly. It just seems as of late that there is a lack of acknowledgement of problems going on and this worries me.
