X-realm Timer

[Mez]

So you're mad the keeps your zerg takes no longer has kills to farm on the way up to the lord room? Sure some people flip to the other side for free nownz, but I'm telling you as a War veteran who played live entire time, if you put in a timer, instead of x-realming they just log off. I mean, logistically they just hop on a 2nd free account and x-realm, but, if they only have 1 account, they will just take a 30-60 minute break and come back later.

You are basically asking the devs help you hold people down while you do things to their health bars. Trust me, if there was a good fight worth fighting, the losing side doesn't leave. But when baddies get rolled and it wasn't even close, they will just log, or x-realm, and there's nothing wrong with it.

What is wrong, is premades and groups who actually make a difference in this game get handicapped by a timer, and are unable to xrealm the opposite direction TOWARDS the AAO, and actually put a dent into your mindless zerg, or keep scenarios popping, that is the crime of your suggestion. It's a bad idea.

The best thing would be remove zone timers from RvR. There's nothing worse as a losing realm of like 10-20 people, who cannot go take BO's and RvE somewhere else because everything is freakn locked. If it was open, it would give people who want to pvp, a chance to go look for fair fights. It would also give those losing 10-20 people something to do, while they wait for more people to log on and help their losing realm out.

We had a system not long ago where only 1 zone was open, and the losing realm just got a$$ F%*#kd over and over and would just log off, because who wants to constantly try to get into a losing keep, over and over. With our suggestions, and others, the devs opened up the pairings, and it has helped, but there is STILL a timer on the zones.

That is what your focus should be on, actual constructive suggestions and feedback, not making the 10,000th lockout timer thread. But, thanks for the forum to make my annual observation it's amazing the zerg finds the forums, and it scares me because the devs just might actually listen to you people one day, I've seen it in the past, and it forces people like me to forum pvp repeatedly. It's a bit exausting seeing voices from live appear over and over with the same junk Mythic always just ignored. Mythic opened up dual-realm, for a long time you could only pick 1. I can tell you, the purpose is for the more organized people to go to the underdog side and balance things out. The true still stands today.

I can tell you 1 issue is the amount of grind it takes for gear. Even a premade who is trying to get gear will find it hard to flip realms, when they can afk and get medallions for devestator. But once you have some toons respectfully geared up, it's all about chasing the AAO. There used to be a joke on Badlands when people logged onto vent, we'd ask which realm Aveleys was playing, because then we knew which side was zerging. Sure some ride the zerg, but there are a lot of us groups that will willingly go against it. And that's how RvR balances out. Pugs come out of the woodwork once you start taking away the other realm's zerg's fun and toys. I've done it a billion times, I've helped break 2 servers by simply re-rolling to the other realm. RvR is dictated by the bomb groups and the 6 mans and the 12 mans. Stop suggesting to censor and control THAT.

This is a real problem. A very serious issue. I just watched the population stay the same but the % for each side change drastically.

I logged in it was 51% to 49% 5 minutes later is was 48% to 52% and 5 minutes later its 46% to 54%
still 766 people logged in.

all because order was loosing a fort defense.

[Mez]

So you're mad there was a 22 person swing. I'd say about half of it was natural or lower tiers. The rest of it were all lowbie bad players who run anyways or just log when wiped.

[chaoscode]

Who said I was mad? You sound mad bro. I was saying I saw the pop numbers stay the same and the % on each side change noticeable. Also, 22 people switching sides because they where loosing is quite a bit. That's a warband + a few.

[Mez]

So you think there's 766 people in Tier 3 RvR pairings.

My point is, it's not a lot. And if it was, because some days A LOT switch, it doesn't matter. You go from a poorly defended keep to an empty keep. What's your beef? You're mad people don't want to get farmed? If there were more people like you who stayed logged in and fought back, we'd be fine. But it's not the world we live in.

I agree with Mez, I love playing Order but my play time is typically when Order is getting crushed and it is very difficult to progress so as a result I have ended up playing Destro religiously now. However, if while the Destro zerg was taking a zone a small amount of Order players were also able to either take a zone or come close to taking a zone before the Destro zerg showed up I would be on my Order all the time because at least I can do something.

And you know if there are 2 zones being available for capture members of the larger zerg are going to break off to go fight the minority realm and that will making trying to capture the zone even more entertaining. That's my take on it anyways.

Great post Mez

[chaoscode]

No I don't think that.

We all know this is a problem. Keep denying the issue here. It makes you look stupid.

I have no beef stop being a troll.

It happens all the time. Everyone see's it. The proof is there.

Again , I'm not mad bro but you seem pretty salty over something. Must be that whole thing about the world being round.

Thanks man. Honestly a lot of the fun in RvR was when the underdog side was simultaneously taking something else, and the zerg would try and hurry up and lock a zone so they could hurry up and go defend the other pairing. Realm pride is currently hampered by the current RvR system. And along with it, the balance issue where the underdog has little to do but get owned. And that doesn't work because it's the internet and people can log and go walk the dog.
