WAAAGH!

Please just fix the balance. Order is useless after recent nerfs that need to be undone and you have overtuned the destro melee train.

This.

There will be a Balance Patch soon, the Balance Group is acting on lots of player feedback and further adjustments to previous changes.

Until then please be patient, and we'd like to ask you to use the Forums properly, this is not the appropriate thread asking for Balance changes. For that we actively track and respond in the Suggestions & Feedback section.

I was unaware that the community management team and the realm watch host(s) were also on the balance team.

What? How didn't you know? Every Dev is in the balance team, and their parents are in the balance team, and their grandparents. If those damn grannies stopped doing crochet and started balancing the server wouldn't be in this state, I tell you

WAAAGH!

Very good news to hear RW returns!
As for the structure, and what this annoucement touched in. I figured I'd share the initial thoughts behind the Realm watch idea when I first contacted Gamesbond (CM at the time) and Wargrimnir.

The idea was to bank on the advantage RoR have over other RvR mmos. The performance in largescale basicly. So the initial suggestion was in coop with the main RvR guids to pick times & days based on when it was most busy to showcase the server population, action and performance with quality commentary over movement, manuvers, flanks and momentum back 'n forth bigger battles from a neutral birdsview for all viewers to enjoy. Because if it was not done on the most busy hours, then there was a fear the product would fall rather flat and would require more filler topics and not serve as promotional product to get more players interested. Showing the good and the "bad" hours will ofcause give a more realistic product, kinda like a Youtube montage. But showing hours were it might be onesided PvDoor and having to use giveawy baits, filler topics or uninformed commentary seem risky.

Ofc ideas change and what is possible along with it. I just figured I'd remind what the initial goal was behind the RW idea. But if it is deemed that this is the best approch for current RoR then go for it
