This is the last bg and you can get to 2lo before you get booted as well as lvl 35 max.

Is this active? Can we make it active? This would make the most sense to me for getting the rps people need to finish grinding to 50 or for low RR pve type toons, like chanters or necros or bds?

Anyone interested in this? Can this be a thing?

Players can greatly contribute to a server if you let them.

Uthgard, still the best server. Thanks, Devs.

Last time I check, you can just walk out of your main gate (with a bindstone) and be in an RvR zone if you want. Oh plus u get a hastened lol.
Now in BG you will have to wait for the teleport (every 15 mins) to go into BG RvR.

Are u clear now?

Still sounds the same. Just because you're in an RvR zone, in no way means you're getting RvR. Outside of the keep is not often the most happening RvR area. It's the place people go because there is no RvR to be had.

So realistically speaking, it's 15m on a pad, or 5-10m travel to your farthest RvR zone.

Regardless what situation you're in, this game makes you wait for RvR.

Because waiting is good?

I'm not sure it's the 15 minute timer which stops people from using the battlegrounds. The problem on Uthgard right now: There are not really any alts yet. Everyone is leveling like crazy to get their first character to 50 and farm for their templates. No one takes the time to play in the battlegrounds. Let's see how this plays out once the initial leveling rush is over and people start playing alts because their first character is done.

It is most assuredly the port killing BG's usage. I love Uth 2.0, but the inability to rez at your PK in a BG, or at least insta portal.....is fcking stupid. The wait is utterly absurd. There is literally 0 argument anyone could produce to persuade me that sitting on a pad after you die in a BG to get back to some action is a good thing. The purists will spout something about not being authentic, but I dont get what it could possibly hurt to allow faster BG gameplay.

I don't really get the difference between waiting on the pad for the BGs or waiting on the pad to port to Hib/Alb/Mid or running out from your portal keep to Emain/Hadrians/Odins. All of the waits can vary between 5 and 15 min depending on your luck timing the portal ceremony. Plus the BGs benefit from a short delay for dead players to return. Those standoffs at the PKs are stupid and if there was a bind stone in the PK the standoffs happen more often. Plus the delays give the winning group time to roam to another PK or hit the CK for a few minutes before the reinforcements arrive.

Many times on live back in the day, I had luck with the porter ceremony being instant when I released from a BG. Just keep extra necklaces in your pack so you can put in on right away if the porters are already on the pad. Yes sometimes you have bad luck and the ceremony just ended before you got there. Oh well it's only 10-15 minutes before you're right back into any BG action.

I'm pretty sure the porters do their thing every 5 minutes, not the 15 minutes this thread keeps talking about.

It doesn't take to long to get to a BG. The problem is that when you get there, there is no one to fight. We used to go anyway to kill the CK Lord and capture the keep but there are no RPs for keep takes on Uthgard, not in the BGs and not in the frontier.

So, I expect that if you want players to fight in the BGs you need to coordinate it in IRC, NOT on the forums. Only a small fraction of the player base reads the forums.

oh? Hope you are wrong. I have 7 waiting for Thid. With the grouping mess on this server I may never see the frontier RvR.

Yeah, the timer between NPC's coming down is 5 mins here and they port twice each time, 30s apart. Not sure why the QQ about porting...

And i'm pretty sure there's always mids by DL... or at least somewhere in the Gorge.
