Can we please have Faction lock out?

[havartii]

The x-realming is out of control. If you pick a side you should be locked out of other. They had it in game, why would they take it out?? I would rather a bit of imbalance to having people switch sides for Forts and Keep takes.

Becuase in the original mmo you were paying $15 a month per account

Let’s say devs make faction lock out

Well I’ll make a free acc for destro only and a free acc for order only

And x realm between acc’s

Xrealm is a good excuse for losing, it never gets old.

Yeah, probably not the root cause but may exacerbate the issue. Instead problem is playing opossum is until fort then farm your 4 invaders.

Caledor earlier today the zone was taken with no AAO for either side. By the time the fort doors were down Destro outnumbered Order something like 120 to 108. By the time the first set of attacks were repulsed numbers were something like 150 to 120 in Destro's favor.

Winning formula is:
1) Fight mid zones
2) Throw edge zones (roam for random kills, PVE, SCs, whatever)
3) Jump in to defend fort against outnumbered attackers
4) Profit with your 4 invaders and bag roll
5) Go to step 1

Adding some form of the contribution system back in will probably help. Also making the edge zone defense more rewarding to dis-incentivize sandbagging. The root problem, of course, is that there are rewards locked into the mode and people will do whatever it takes to game the system to maximize the rewards because those rewards mean more power which means they get to win more often.

To quote BSG: "All this has happened before and will happen again."

Perfect example of the attitude of people doing the xrealming.

At minimum you should need contribution from last zone to get into fort. Why is this so hard?

[Lithenir]

Why not simply change the rewards? What do you get for defending fortress? 4 invader medals. And for defending last zone you'll get 1 invader medal. Why not changing it. Last zone defended will be rewarded with 4 invader medals while fortress defended will only get 2. This way you probably have more fights in the zones and less forts

there is an xrealm lockout in place. Please search the forum.
