Return of Reckoning

It has been fun to try Logrin's forge mechanic, but in my experience it has made it more of a king of the hill type scenario. I think the older mechanic gave players more to offer as far as being more unique than what it is now.
Every match I've played there has been most all players fighting in the center with one two others going to solo-cap the sides, if one side does get to take center.
I find the old mechanic more dynamic and if you are losing bad you have a better chance to try and recap and earn some points.

What was the previous mechanic?

the old mechanic meant the objectives were time bombs that exploded and instantly killed anybody within like 100ft. it was awfully implemented and boring.

I think he meant the live version mechanic, where there was one object on each side, none in the middle and you had to hold both object for a few seconds to lock in. No explosion if I remember right. Only khaines embrace had the explosion.

I also liked that old live mechanic better. You had better chances of winning vs dominating groups, by evading them and ninja objects. It was more dynamic and more strategic.

I think its good the way it is just that middle should give less points than sides.

That sounds pretty fun tbh; very similar to High Pass. Always love me some HP.

The original was identical to the High Pass cemetary mechanic.

The main issue with that though is that as soon as one realm is ahead in points they can just defend one of the sides with all 12 players. While other side has to try and take both capture point at same time and split their forces.

So very easy to stall the scenario and win it, but takes 15 min and becomes fairly boring.

I think we all know that players pretty much never will defend an objective to win. They always go after more kills=more renown.

The current Logrin's Forge mechanic is fine. High Pass Cemetery still sucks, however.
