But then exping 35-50 is a boring grindfest.

remember this comes with:

1. better xp spots
2. better xp bonus

this alone makes the rvr zones like a better zone than DF and you can actually as a low lvl grp go farm lvl grps easy because you don't have to pass "high" mobs before getting to the other grp of players

+ its open at all times


But I can't get past mg.

Isn't there a certain amount of RP your allowed to gain as lower levels? And if they bump up the RR allowed with having lower level BGs isn't that just going to make it easier/longer for people to roll characters constantly, and have easy access to popular BGs?

Unless changes actually do make end rvr more enjoyble I'd think this just makes it even more friendly for people to get into the BG RvR that people want moved to End RvR?

My thoughts exactly. They'll become more accessible cause you don't have to lvl to 30+ anymore and then you're welcomed to a void from level 35 to 50 with no prospects whatsoever, sounds contra-productive to me.

I could see the benifit of removing the higher end Bgs, to encourge xping in OF, but that will only work if the lvling spots are larger, better selection of mobs, and xp bonuses that are way better then 5% - 15% - 25% - 40%. as the first 2 are not worth it , the third is , but only if DF isnt opened and 40% is worth it but the distance to the enemey side is very long and even more dangerous. For this to work better id suggest something like.

Thirdary Zone = 20% XP bonus
Secondary Zone = 40% XP bonus
Primary Zone = 60% XP bonus
Behind Enemy Gate = 100% XP bonus

Something like that would definitly make the risks worth it and since its tempting, it may get some low lvls to look for rvr in OF, for those of simular level, xping. Which if they find someone, then they will get the xp bonus + the xp bonus for killing another player. Instead of making xping in BGs the prime zone. RvR Bgs should be for getting your Rps.

They will also have to improve the basic drops in OF too, so its more profitable, as i can make more money in classic zone, at the cost of lesser xp, but sometimes that is worth it. Some mobs in OF only drop a few gold at high lvls, few items and normal just junk that sells for nothing. So id like to see that improved too.

If the mobs, drops, and xp rates are not adjusted greatly, then removing BG for 36+ to 49 will make xping just a real bore, may even encourage some to just play there current high lvls, or get lazy about leveling, as its just mob after mob.

Also i got a question, i noticed on some sites, there is sometimes mobs that drop items, that you turn in for xp, im guessing in classic zones, but that isnt on uthgard. Something like that would be nice too, if it was part of classic that is.

Who cares if you arent rr4+ by the time you get to 50? Most people do that on live already and have been doing so. Lots of people just PL'd their character and went to rvr at 0L0 lol. You can just do DF rvr or go to the frontier dungeons for low RR enemies since there will be a greater influx of low RR 50s as well. I do agree that there should be at least one more bg till about 39 so that the leveling gap is smaller to 50 but I really don't think the differences between RR2 and RR4 is huge by any means.

But if the cap for the bgs is rather low on rps like rr2, I don't think it would make rvring that much harder initially. One good rr2 player instead of a mediocre rr4 player in a pug will not hurt the group much tbh. The RR gap (except maybe tanks with det) won't do a huge difference because you can't really get the huge fight changing RA's like BOF 3 or DI 3 or w/e. There are and will be more alternatives to emain 8v8 to get those initial rps and if you really want you can zerg.

So lower rr from bgs will somehow magically make you more skilled?

I gotta see that for myself! :lol:

This could make it somewhat more bearable, but only in Odinsgate & Hadrianswall due those zones being somewhat less stuffed with RR5+ players. Else any 50 low RR group wanting to kill those xp'ers will get rolled instantly at emain.

I love it when people make retarded, senseless or unnecessary negative conclusions.

Adds so much quality to the discussion.


If you don't like the situation, great, that's fine, tell us why in a mature manner or just leave this thread alone dude, it's fckin annoying.
