I really like the pot change, that's a big shakeup

New RvR War Crest Bonuses:[/color][/b]

- Capturing BOs will now also grant each player in that capture 1 war crest. This has a 5 minute cooldown.

Is this 5 minute cooldown unique for each BO? I.e. if you capture two different BOs within five minutes will you receive two war crests?

AAO buff now properly shows its increase to drop chance: This was was always there (5% increased drop chance for every 20% AAO), but did not show properly before. Now it does!

It’s nice that it now shows properly, but why does aao reward crests at a 1:4 rate to renown? If we want to motivate people to play the underdog side, it makes sense to increase crest gains at the same rate as renown and experience.

- Potions and Liniments (including Pies and Stews) will now stack with abilities.

Can someone please explain what exactly this means ?

Thanks in advance

I am dubious about the 3 minutes wait at BO for the buff, but I'm very curious to try it out.

Thanks for the patch!

Seems like a few oversights might have slipped in, but overall I'm pretty excited to see how BO changes change the RvR dynamics and how the stacking consumables affect meta. GJ team!

I love that we got changes to BO's just before a big pve content drop.
These were really needed and I appreciate it.

One more suggestion from me:
BO's still lack meaning during keep sieges, hopefully this will be adressed in the future

Probably the best patch notes I've ever seen RoR announce. Some excellent stuff in there. Love the RvR rework, feels like it should promote more fights, make BOs feel more meaningful and also help a bit with solo/small scale having fallen off a cliff as your crest rate from BOs will be that much more meaningful with lower numbers, help combat the zerg fest RvR has become.

May even help with realm pop balancing as order (typically in EU prime) just dominating maps will mean less opportunity to stack the BO buffs.

Kudos, hope it brings back that more engaging dynamic of a mix of different WB/Group/Solo encounter sizes.

Then you've got the armour buff reductions which are a step in the right direction as the uber tanky meta, particularly in small scale, is dominating. Help reduce TTK a bit.

A big update—this game gets better every year.

Sad to see the setback aura being laid to rest for kotbs, but I rarely used it.

Great to see IB's have a little more utility with their heal debuff not restricted by cd.

Huge appreciation as always.

hello, pls remeber
"Improvements to stop postern blocks: This patch also adds a new Quality of Life update to prevent players from blocking postern doors (primarily inner doors) with Siege Weapons or Banners. Siege Weapons placed near a postern door will warn the player towing that it must be moved to avoid being destroyed. A second warning will appear after 15 seconds, and after 30 seconds the weapon will be destroyed. Banners follow the same rules, and share their warnings with the banner owner."

This change will destroy siege engines if keep dismounts players on entering like in ex.: praag keep. (not all keeps dismout on entering).

Excuse me,

let me have a suggestion of KOTBS "To Victory" can have an additional decrease armor debuff.

Thank you.
