indeed - the magic question :)

bp/rp incentive for solo would increase smallscale in OG - but may attract fg to farm the smallmans...

it's a complicated thing

the current mentality would be the same no matter the zone.

Solo/duo/small man - go to OG
8v8 - go to Hadrians
fg+/zerg/ADDERS - go to Emain

would work fine if suddenly everyone followed that :grin:


question is how to get people to do that ;)


Same way eden did.

Waiting 7 minutes for port, and then running to milegate another 5-6 minutes, its not just a mentality, can you understand?

It's just boring and for some of us that time can be used in other way. But of course, we cannot ask for insta port, because of the map layout imbalance. We need to get at the same time at one milegate (altough we dont), according to the staff.

Is it really OF at the moment? So I think poll needs the 3rd option.

1st: like now
2nd: NF with all aspects
3rd: OF, but then completely pls and no custom balance like OF with NF RAs and so on

OF and old RAs isn't the same please remember that

OF = maps, keeps, milegates, pad port system
NF = maps, keeps, agra, port system, boats

this has nothing to do with RAs - but with maps, keeps, etc.

I know that you can have OF with NF RAs, but isn't OF...sry. Because OF were without many subjects we have on Uthgard. I think OF isn't only a question of maps and transport systems.
I only mentioned that a clear clue have to be discussed! Otherwise, the flaming within here will continue.

PS: You can call ToA without artifacts because you have ToA maps. I guess it will never be ToA.

difference is that the maps and the RA setup wasn't connected.. RAs and maps was changed next to each other - not together..

Theres missing an option: "OF improved".

OF still has lots of bugs and problems which are just not worked through.

Rizla about NF wrote:Just to remind people of what this setup was like, it was in offtimes empty, on primetime up to 4fgs could be met at the bridge bottlenecks to agra, smallman/solo activity was near to non-existent.

On the other hand, by taking the forth most keep one (overpopulated [in rvr area]) realm would exclude another realm from porting. And as OF has proven so far, longer traveltime = less members of that realm participating in rvr.

It spawned alot of "fixes":

- boats removed to tunnel players through agramon
- killmsg system adjustment (add us plz!)
- and last but not least, the reinstatement of the instant port to agra


So tell me why should i choose between two flawed concepts. Please give the option of voting "neither".

Signed.

Imo it's the same. OF and old RAs were always linked together, as well as new RAs came with NF. OF means old RAs as much as NF means new RAs, at least if you watch at it as a live-server player. Uth showed that some mix-up is possible, sadly.


On the topic: even if you gather all unsatisfied players altogether, I doubt they'll outnumber the players that started here for OF. The peak playernumbers didn't raise coincidental, the raise began with the announcement of OF and ultimately with the introduction of OF.
Why ToA-RAs advance high RR groups more than old RAs do:

I know this issue (different patches etc.), i only want to mention that it important to have a clear overall clue for RvR or even Uthgard. I think it is more important than choosing frontier maps.
Hence, a clear guideline for RvR is needed, e.g., figure out a good balance. Or if you wish, you can say what are the future goals of Uthgard and its content. Does Uthgard future tend to be NF with SI? Does Uthgard want to be somehow custom classic?

In this manner, i have all these discussions like caster resists, charge for tanks etc. in mind. Hope you get no the message I want to bring in.
